...well then give me the hardware or some unique OS feature set to exploit! Right now I'm doing a quickie hello world app which will be a simple multimedia book for a tablet. Just putting the specs of the most recent iPad side-by-side with a Kindle Fire is just depressing.

Or even if the feature sets are pretty much the same focus on ease of use for getting my foot in the door. For example why isn't there something like HyperCard so non-programmers can create apps for Android? Not for nothing Visual Basic had a huge impact on making Windows a standard for inhouse IT dev.
