that strike a nerve.
Ok, as someone who has not yet swallowed the big price tag of the smartphones, but will gladly buy one in the next few years, I am curious.
I frequently see useful apps for the iPhone that are targeted at non-tech users. For example, there's a gluten-free restaurant info card program for iPhone that I recently got an email about. I've seen fitness programs from magazines I enjoy, etc.
Do these apps also run on Android? Or do they need someone savvy to port them over?
I'm curious because I rarely see a "mainstream" but small-focused app advertised as running on Android.
I mostly want a smartphone for better Internet access on my cell and access to useful apps and my shared google calendars. So that's one thing that will definitely influence my choice--availability of the apps I find useful and future apps that may come out.
Of course I'm typing this from a dual-booted Windows/Fedora 13 machine, so I'm more a pragmatist than purist.
