Great piece, very interesting.

> Overall they just seem more balanced, you can tell that what Apple is doing doesn’t keep them up at night.

Eh, I have found the opposite, whereas Android developers will be very hardcore, almost akin to .Net developers who only use bing. They will only use Android, and Google, and Open Source, and never pay for anything ever. Even apps. And beware if you have an iPhone.

Not all, and maybe I am sheltered from the Apple critics because I leave my Android phone and table at home. And it really depends who you meet.

I certainly see Apple as a very closed company compared to Google, but it looks like that is changing with the WWDC 3,000 API's announcement, really opening up the OS to developers. iOS devs can start to do cool things that Android devs have been doing for a while.

As for the Google anouncements, is TV any different than the last few years? And they still don't seem to have wearables right yet.



I read the sentence you quote as referring directly to the engineers who work at google, not android developers.
