This comes from a professional developer that I know when I asked him about writing his streaming radio app for Android because their iOS version had certain features that lacked in the Android players:
********************************
Programming in Android is a real PITA and some things like getting streaming audio to work well are far too difficult due to the lack of low level access to the hardware. iOS is much easier to deal with and is programmed directly in C so that is what we will stay with.

It's of course a paraphrase but I could dig up the email if I needed to, not that any of you would likely know this person. Please note, I am about as far away from an apple fanboy as you can get without being called an all out hater, suffice to say they will not get money out of my pocket.
