An iOS Developer Takes on Android
Ath:
+1 ;D
Paul Keith:
Great thread that reveals a little bit of the history of Android except I don't really understand what Meridian is.
I read the link but the author talks about it being a platform. Wouldn't a port then lead to future compatibility problems much in the same way greasemonkey scripts keeps getting broken everytime a site updates?(Unless the author is also the maker of Meridian in which I take this comment back.)
Ath:
In the end the article turns out being a big praise for the Android platform and Eclipse, and that if Andoid would have been around a bit earlier, he may have never written an iPhone version of Meridian, though he eventually would have, and moaned in the same way about the Apple 'experience', as all his complaints are those of anyone that hasn't ever before used Java, Eclipse and an Android Phone.
@Paul Keith: Yes, he's directly involved in developing Meridian, he even states in the first paragraph:Recently, we released the Android version of Meridian, our platform for building location-based apps.

and naming Meridian a 'platform' is just marketing babble.
