Siri is the best jedi mind trick Apple has pulled so far. It is amazing how much press this one feature is generating. My prediction is that in 6months nobody is using it anymore.. just like facetime (anyone still remember what that was?).

I've written a blog post about various methods Android framework provides to devs to support multiple screens. http://www.androiduipatterns.com/2011/05/designing-scalable-android-apps.html These tools aren't new. Then again we do expect to see more utilities and components like automatically adapting Action Bar featured in one of the pictures.

Android and iOS have very different UI conventions. TFA mentions the problem but then ignores it. By using PhoneGap (or any of the other similar products) you still need to build two different apps if you want to get good results. Just look at PhoneGap's featured apps examples. Almost every single one of them is written for iOS. If you bring them to Android users wont accept them as native. They will feel wrong. I wrote a post about this very problem into my blog few weeks back: http://www.androiduipatterns.com/2011/06/differences-between-android-and-ios-ui.html Benefit of PhoneGap etc. is that you can use web technologies to write the apps. It is a false hope, though, if you expect to "write once, run everywhere". Juhani
