posted this on

Dialogs can be done well in many cases, avoiding the barrage. They’re only shown when the app requests access to the protected resources, and only the first time.

Marco Arment writes about the permission dialogs in iOS and Android and muses about what’s a good way to solve the various problems that too many dialogs can result in.

John Gruber writes a great article about Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs Biography, and about five simple words that could easily be used as a replacement for Apple’s “Think different”-tagline.

Market share on the one hand, developer revenue on the other

posted this on and tagged it with Android iOS Links

the combined app store revenue for iOS devices is almost 6x that of Android Market.

This, combined with the fact that Google actually makes more money on iOS than on Android, is in my opinion the biggest threat against Android in the long run.
