Here at FairSoftware, we are watching closely which platform developers are most interested in, and iPhone is almost 10X ahead of Android.

I have been thinking for a year that Android would catch up, but I still don't see real signs.

Why do you think that is? The sense I get from people interested in iPhone dev is that they think they'll make good coin from their apps.

Well, in our case (indie iPhone developer), I wouldn't touch the combinatorial explosion of testing on random hardware with random features with a 1000' pole.

Also, I hate Java--though it has GC, it's still basically a static language, and horribly verbose to boot.
