InfoWorld says that not only can Android phones compete with the iPhone, they’re a better choice for most developers and businesses. Why?
For one, an Android phone is essentially a “Unix machine you can slip into your pocket.” Android apps like GScript and RemoteDB make it possible to write your own apps and shell scripts.
In addition, Android’s embrace of Java and open-source make it a much more flexible, productive tool for developers than the more popular phone from Apple.
