I consider myself an Android developer, after having created four apps and learned a lot by creating them. Now I've begun my venture into the iPhone app development world, and I don't remember the Android learning curve being this extreme. It doesn't help, though, that I was very familiar with Java and Eclipse whereas I hardly even know ...

My application requires me to store sets of bits along with some accompanying metadata on the Android platform (read only for now). Now obviously I could just implement the Serializable interface, but I hear it's very slow on Android (I can imagine has to do something with the custom VM and compiler that makes such reflective features in...

And is this eve...
