The Android marketplace is just as quirky and annoying as Apple iTunes Connect – both have downsides #

Checking out Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 development tools – so many different platforms and so many different tools. Interesting times #

Android dev is much faster than iPhone dev – mostly because of extra code necessary for iPhone dev #

For Android, you have to code a splash screen, on iPhone, you can do it via a single graphic – for a basic splash. #

On the other hand, accessing resource values is much simpler in Android over iPhone – one line of code versus 2-3 #

The barcode scanner on Android is great! Just point at 2D barcode on a webpage and it will open up the link in your browser #

Supposedly Muslim idiots on one side and the Muslim-hating idiots on the other side, how is anybody going to find any peace in this mess? #

Why is it that most location-based apps/sites cater only to the US? There is no world outside the US? #

Tried FourSquare, GoWalla, MyTown, Brightkite, and BlockChalk and most have some support for non-US places but MyTown has none at all! #

Oh, forgot to Add Parallel Kingdoms and Yelp – the former works fine but Yelp again has no functionality for where I am .. #

Apparently, the only good Muslim is a dead or forcibly converted one Why so much hatred? http://is.gd/9JO4F #

RT (They decide what's important?) @nambucom: @FahimFarook What use are Lists? They are basically noise just like Home tends to be. #

Was going to go with Nambu since it had the features I wanted but the developers don't seem to want to listen to feature suggestions … #

Back to Echofon, which has *almost* all the features I wanted #
