I am putting together a presentation on the iOS and Android platforms as part of an educational lecture series I'm going to start doing here in the next few months. The main goal is to educate people on how to use their new smartphone and or educate them on which platform suits them best.
Right now I'm looking for more material to mull over. . . Show me what you've got!
Not sure why type of info you're looking for exactly. Here's a few links you might want to read to get started:
http://www.android.com/about/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
http://developer.android.com/index.html
Well as almost everything you can take a base on wikipedia and their owners page and from there the fastest way would be to google every feature separated and search or make a comparision table (ive seen lots of them online) and comparing them with images from both devices an iPhone and for example a Galaxy S2 or a Galaxy Nexus or an HTC Rezound or your favorite and here are some of the pages you should look:
Android:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
http://www.android.com/about/
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-review/
http://www.google.com/phone/#manufacturer=all&category=all&carrier=all&country=all&reset_filters=1
iOS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS
http://www.apple.com/iphone/ios/
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-review/
Both:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_operating_system#Mobile_OS_comparison
http://www.pcworld.com/zoom?id=208491&page=1&zoomIdx=1
That are the basics but if you want to make a real presentation you should include Windows Phone 7
Thanks guys, I'll check this stuff out! How I've gotten most of my stuff so far is Reddit and Google, this should help flush out some more of the presentation quite nicely.

Only problem with that is that I'm working solely with devices that I already have experience with, things that I've actually used. I have NO experience with Windows 7 devices. Considering that their market share has decreased, from 2.7% to 1.5% in the last few months, I don't see much of a reason to prioritize the inclusion of the Windows 7 platform. Depending on how things go the next few weeks, I may try to include RIM (BlackBerry). . . but the two main contenders are iOS and Android, mainly because of their vast market share and my experience with them.
Keep em comin guys!

For your purpose i would recommend articles about android vs ios.
There's a good one on geek.com called "Android vs. iOS vs. Windows Phone 7". You'll have to search it on google because i cant post urls sorry.

Hi there,
Since new powerfull devices like SGS 2, Optimus 2X.. are finaly out, I was thinking that running an IDE directly on an android phone might be something possible ?
Question is, is there already some kind of IDE apk for our phones ?

With all the new head units that are "iphone like interface", who is going to be the first to hack android for these devices? Possibly someone will get smart and create a nice head unit with Android, but I don't think it's likely.
I saw an Android one on the web yesterday. Over $700 and it was Chinese text. Sorry but I don't know the url.
Carputers are common and easy these days and off the shelf orderable... Google "Carputer MP3" and with the recent addition of tablets we can do better than any OEM Setup with a little effort... a majority of stuff available is suuuper capable too

I did a forum search and surprisingly didn't see anything come up for this. At any rate, someone ported libpurple over to android but it lacks a gui, and probably needs a bit of polish.
I don't have enough posts to link to the project page but if you google pidroid it's the first result that pops up, some guy at university of waterloo in canada did the libpurple port, with the files available to download.
Maybe someone here could pick up the project and make an app out of it? I know myself and alot of others I know that use pidgin would love an android port, specifically for the OTR stuff.
1up: i would love pidgin on android

hello all;
i'm a frequent user and supporter of the site, and i have to say i love the site and the people here.
now to more pressing matters i'm trying to find resources and read more and more about linux android development (completely got rid of windows by now ) IT'S USELLESS!!!! to me after a few months of constant linux use. yes linux takes some time, before you figure things out but it's a great OS.
anyways, i've looked in the general developers forum section, and there is just SO many ways that people say you should start (from scratch) and one is contradicting the other (sometimes).... so here is the actual question to the experienced developers out there... where do you guys start ?
little background:
basic C & C++ knowledge
some java.
(i used to tinker mostly with hardware before i dug into android)
any suggestions ??... which guides, sites ?, classess ?? any and all advice appreciated. and i hope it's ok to post this here, and if it's not (mods i'm sorry).
thanks.

I don't think this particular project is active anymore, but I have been meaning to check out the Coding Green Robots series myself:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/coding-green-robots/videos
I think if you have a specific problem with a project you are working on, people on XDA will help you. For a general intro, I think a book would be the best. Also, don't forget about the Android developer website. There's a training section, including "Building your first app": http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
To all forum readers and lurkers, welcome to a new and experimental section of the forums! The PC Hardware forums are part of our expansion into a limited discussion of PC hardware for our enthusiasts and developers. So while the normal forum rules apply you may notice that things here will be slightly different and a work in progress.
Here's what you can expect in each of the forums within here:
PC Hardware Portal Article Discussion is where the portal team will be posting a new thread for each article on the category. While Disqus isn't a bad option it's also a very limited one in comparison to our forum membership - and so we'd like to try moving some of that discussion here. It also gives us the ability to give some behind-the-scenes updates and additional content that may not fit the Portal well, such as build logs and photos of projects we're working on for Portal articles.
Forum members are more than welcome to continue the discussion but new threads will only be created by us here. If you want to carry on a discussion of a different topic, we have you covered.
The PC Hardware For Linux Developers section is ideally for continuing the discussion and talking about topics near and dear to our developers' hearts. Whether you're just starting out and want to know how to build your own kernel/ROM, set up a kitchen to theme, or something more advanced... if it's about Linux this is the place to talk about it!
While the name doesn't call it out specifically it's well known that a subset of developers use Mac OS X instead - feel free to post in here too on your topics. To help clarify we ask that the prefix [OSX] be used so readers know this deals with a Mac-specific topic.
Lastly our PC Hardware General is for all other discussions under the sun and related to the topic. We're not looking to replace your go-to sites but rather foster a conversation in addition to that. And while we certainly understand that these discussions can get "heated" we ask that people treat each other with the same civility and respect as you would anywhere else on the XDA forums.
Your moderation team can be found in the upper right hand corner under "Moderators." Please feel free to contact us if there are any questions/concerns. In addition you will likely find me around here quite often - part of my job as PC Hardware Editor is to help foster those discussions. And we'll be watching to see how this develops - if we need to split this up further you may see additional forums being added or moved here to better keep the related discussions together!
Thank you for your continued time and support of XDA!
