Hi, I will be developing a mobile game for a Uni assignment, but I am not sure which route to go down...

iPhone or Android?

I will be developing the game through Adobe Flash.

Anyone know which is easier to do so?

Thanks
 
Thanks for the replies guys! The main objective is to just make a game to present as my project, so I don't really need to worry about the cost of anything or sales of the product :) plus my iPhone is jailbroken, so I don't need to pay to be a developer ;)

I will be using Adobe AIR. It looks like the majority picked Android, is it actually easier to make it for android or is it probably the same? I am only interested in the development part of it for now :)

Thanks again for the replies, very helpful :)
 
Haha that makes sense. I have an iPhone and will be getting a Sony Xperia S on Friday. It seems like there isn't a difference in terms of easiness for development, so I'll probably go for android since the Sony has a better screen.

Thanks everyone for your help and input!
 
Haha, I hate spending money! That's why I mentioned above that I'm not worrying about money, as my iPhone is jailbroken ;)

Need to update my sig, I sold the iPad last week!
 
Isn't Flash for games completely different to Flash for web browsing? because Adobe Flash/Air supports making apps for iPhone/iPad so it obviously will still work?

I know how to get around in Flash so I thought it would be easier for me, but are there programs that I can learn to make really simple games in about 2 months? like the 2 suggested above?
 
My course is Multimedia Design, the only programming/scripting we do is with Flash so thats why I decided to go with Flash/AIR for this project.

I will be creating for Android now, easier for testing etc thanks for the recommendations.

Thanks very much Magik5! will definitely look at them!

Again thanks for the replies guys! very helpful! Lets just hope I don't hang myself during the process of making the game :/
