Developing for Android Tablet

I wrote about learning to build android applications and as I now own an android tablet I have started to learn about optimizing the application for tablet as well.
I think the basic idea is same for the apps but the interface which we design for phones doesn't look good on tablet at all. I ran a few apps on my HTC Flyer tablet which have interfaces built only for phones and I must say it sucks. Everyone with an application on android market should get an interface update for tablets as the tablet market share is increasing and you may loose a large percentage of user by not having a properly optimized tablet interface.
Designing interfaces for tablet is much more interesting than designing for phones as you have more space to use and you get freedom to place components your own way.
Will keep you updated about my progress.

Day 2 with HTC flyer

I recently purchased HTC flyer and got it delivered yesterday. I had this concern about the battery life of the tablet but I think it has worked great for the day. I used it for around 7 hours with WiFi on, surfing the web, video playing, paying games but the battery worked well.  The indicators show that most of the power is consumed by display and little bit each by other services like WiFi, sound etc. I like to keep my brightness settings to lowest and this tablet still shows bright dispay. I will try to find a solution to lower the brightness even further.
It is said that battery needs to be charged and discharged fully before it gains its full potential. I will keep you updated about this (actually I want to keep record for myself and you don't need to read it.
And with this post I kept my resolution for 4th day. See you tommorrow.

Why iPhone Developers Earn more than Android Developers

This debate is going on for long time why developers prefers to make apps and games for iPhone and iPad rather than android. Reason is simple “earning potential”.
There is a recent statement by Flurry that android developers make around 24% as much as what they make when they develop same app or game for iPhone.
Now the question is why is that.
What I believe is that people who buy android devices are mostly are those who wanted to buy an iPhone/iPad but they were not able to because of the price. If they are short of money then how do you think they are going to buy any costly app or games.
On the other hand iPhone owners have sufficient funds to buy an iPhone or iPad and then stuff it with premium apps and games.
If you think differently please leave a comment.
