It seemed that all the buzz earlier today was about Android phones outselling iPhones. Sure Apple fanboys were discrediting the articles saying that it is a combination of all Android devices against the lone iPhone. They have a point, but I wouldn’t go and overlook Google’s mobile platform. Android seems to be taking off like wildfire, and with Apple making their opinion of Adobe’s Flash and Air development for the iPhone, you have a whole bunch of developers turning to Android.
I guess what I’m trying to say is you better start looking at Andriod. Its not going anywhere but up.

So just a few days ago I wrote a post about how doing development with AIR might be a good solution for covering both mobile applications and web applications all in one smooth run of code. Well as I’ve heard it through the grapevine (via engadget mobile), Apple says NO.
Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs.
So it’ll work for everyone else, just not our iPhone and iPod users. Which is starting to become a resounding theme. It’s like Steve is doing everything they can to make the iPhone the “IE6″ of the mobile community.

I’ll confess. I’m a computer nerd that hasn’t touched an iPad yet. It’s really sad I know. Especially since I work just three blocks from an Apple store and I still haven’t made the trip over to check one out. However I have had the chance to check out some iPad internet browsing, without an iPad.
Yesterday I read on Wired a quick how to on getting your web browser to think you’re an iPad. This enables you to see all the cool new iPad friendly sites that have been launched. This morning I tried it out for myself. The quick hack was really as easy as Wired said it would be and it was pretty fun to see what was out there for the iPad. Some sites/interfaces have drastically changed.
What are some sites that you regular iPad users would recommend I visit?
