What are the pros/cons for developing Android applications vs iOS?

Q. I am trying to get into developing for mobile applications, I dont know if I should learn iOS or android, I want to know what are the pros and cons from a developer/business standpoint

A. iOs = stability, money, security.

android = free for you to develop on

Apple will make you pay a fee that gives you a license to develop apps.
Android is free for you to develop on.
Apple will probably make you more money in the long run, and their code is much more stable to work with than android.

Hope that helps some


Should I switch from the droid Incredible to the Iphone when it comes to Verizon?
Q. Can anyone compare the Android os to the iphone os. And tell me if I should switch?

A. Here are some comparisons that may help!

Also, I had AT&T and decided to make the switch to Verizon and got the Incredible instead of getting the iPhone 4G. It was a personal decision and I'm glad I made it. I LOVE that my Incredible has Adobe Flash 10.1 and an amazing 8MP camera. Enjoy your phone!

What are the difference in droid capabilities?
Q. i am about to purchase an android phone. But i was wondering if i have droid 2.2 for example on a verizon phone vs. a Tmobile phone is the droid going to have any difference as far as capabilities just because the actual phone is maybe a lower quality or a different model? Basically i want to know as far as droid does the phone itself hinder capabilities if the droid is the same OS version.

A. The phones are nearly the same. You should pick on which carrier is best in your area, THEN worry about which phones to pick. You're doing it backwards.
