androidhate@gmail.comAndroid should be focused on user experience not technical implementation details. Nothing shows that this isn’t true better than the developer documentation.
iPhone has big screenshots illustrating interaction patterns and proper application design. My favorite section is “Application Controls” in which each control description is illustrated by not only a screenshot but a screenshot of it being used in an application context. When one looks up a widget on Android you’re more likely to get a chunk of xml than a screenshot.
Only one section of the Android developer site uses images to good effect. That is Resources, a strangely named (isn’t the whole developer site a resource?) but very helpful set of illustrated introduction articles.
http://www.droiddraw.org/widgetguide.html is down the line of my thinking but it’s outdated and poorly laid out.
