i'm curious how android is easier than iphone? i'm doing android development and i have had a few problems because there are so many different models... for example, i actually go to the carrier's stores to test... and i have an issue with spinners not showing up that only happens on droid 2. whereas the iphone has only one manufacturer and form factor, and only a handful of variations like os, screen resolution.

I said that "the web" is easier on developers than any platform specific thing for the same reason it is with desktops. That's why I hope it wins out over even open platforms like Android.
