Some Android questions

[Jared Carlson]

Hi Anthony,

Mind expounding on that a bit?  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  I've done some iPhone work and development is pretty stable although I did file a bug report for the iPad SDK released back in January.  

One of the things I didn't enjoy finding out with Android is that while I can compile C code to run via JNI on the android, to link the C code I have to import the shared objects off of the phone itself and while I know that's unsupported it seems that Google should have thought about highly efficient embedded code, and that developers might want to write it once, rather than recode...

Just wanted to hear...

- Jared

My phone contract is expiring in the middle of March.  I am planning
to switch to Boost Mobile because they offer more affordable
voice/data packages.  I was thinking about their $60 Blackberry
package.  I wish that they offered an Android phone in their selection
of packages.  I would appreciate any suggestions for choices other
that Boost especially if they offer phones with an Android OS.


I would be wary of Android.  Google appears to be taking it down an
unmaintainable path and is not doing their due diligence.
