First thing first, Java and Eclipse, the worst combination of all ><

At least the documentation is good.

Google only asks 25 dollars for app hosting, which is way cheaper then Apple.

The Android app life cycle is also simpler, maybe not as flexible as Cocoa, but so far so good.

The emulator is way too slow, I thought it didn't work, and killed it several times, until I read on the web that for someone else it took 15 minuets to boot, lmao ><

The emulator uses QEMU to simulate a full OS stack, contrary to iPhone's simulator which only does API simulation.

I think Google's approach is better, but it's too damn slow ><

Hmm, just found out that android market is not open in mainland China, and even the developer program is not open to Chinese.

I wonder what that simplified Chinese locale is for, since mainland people can neither buy it nor develop for it.

When searching with the 'china' keyword on Android market help form, second post is:

when china developer can sell paid apps in Android Market?

quote the last sentence:

In this aspect, google is not good enough. Can any google employee give me a reply of this issue? thanks

This guy is asking directly to google.

It has over 100 replies spanning 2 months, but I didn't see a single reply from google, wtf is going on? The way Apple treats its developer doesn't suck that much after all.
