I was at a Mobile Barcamp last weekend one of the most interesting quotes I heard all day was from an Android developer

“My application does 4 things….all of which are not possible on the iphone”

Basically his entire application couldn’t be built for or even run on the iPhone and that’s even assuming that Apple would actually approve and pass his application.

I think the winds of change are coming, it might take a while because of distributed application stores and multiple handset manufacturers but all the really cool apps you are going to see will be built on the Android platform and the uncool kids will be left using iPhones.

Cheers,
Dean
