IVAN SOTO

Since a while I've been talking about this OS and how I liked the way it can do multitasking. And now the more I use it the more I like it, so I decided to start building an application for it and give the OS a complete try. I bought the first Android device, the G1 from HTC and even when it's not the best phone out there, it comes with Android OS so that's enough for me. I started building this Twitter application knowing nothing of Java, which maybe was a bad idea but I managed to get this running in less than a week. As a web developer it's kind of hard to start understanding how phone or desktop applications behave but I'm getting used to it now.

Right now I have an iPhone 1st gen and while it was a really good device at the begining, right now is really buggy and to be honest the lack of multitasking between applications or a decent notification system makes it an awesome phone with iPod capabilities, but not a computer. Not to mention the crappy apps you can get from the App Store. In the other hand Android looks good, more like a computer than the iPhone. It reminds me the blackberry I used to have, connected to Gtalk and Twitter and a few other applications at the same time.
