A post from me in my incarnation as serious developer type in my project mode: The Difference between Design vs Development
One in which i grumble about the state of Android development, in particular, UI design which is finally being recognised as a actually a different thing to development – which iOS has known form the beginning. Also contains a link to the first set of Guidelines to designing for Android that treats it as proper design (well, that i have found).
Android, i love you to bits and all, but honestly, iOS has everything in one set of documents because they recognise how vital both elements are.
And until you get it, dear Android, iOS will continue to offer a (mostly) superior user experience (notifications suck, iOS, you can’t boast yet).
