Hi:<br />
<br />
I'm looking to start doing some Android development.<br />
I'm aware there various simulators available.<br />
Additionally, I would like to get a physical device to test with.<br />
I already have an iPhone as my primary cell phone and am not looking to change that.<br />
I guess I'd like to get a non-contract, unlocked Android device.<br />
<br />
I've got a couple of basic-straight-out-of-the-<wbr />gate-quest<wbr />ions:<br />
--------------------------<wbr />----------<wbr />----------<wbr />----------<wbr />----------<wbr />----------<wbr />-------<br />
1) What is the difference between the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy 4s?<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Are either a good device to get for testing purposes?<br />
<br />
2) Can my iPhone ATT SIMM card be swapped with either of these devices?<br />
<br />
3) Can the memory by upgraded easily enough by me?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

What Android device is a good one to start testing on?

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).

Android

A cellular phone (also known as a mobile phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a telephone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. Mobile phones that offer services such as text messaging, email, Internet access, business applications, gaming, photography and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

Cell Phones

A smartphone or smart phone is a mobile phone with an advanced mobile operating system that combines features of a personal computer operating system with other features useful for mobile or handheld use. They typically combine the features of a cell phone with those of other popular mobile devices, such as personal digital assistant (PDA), media player and GPS navigation unit. Most smartphones can access the Internet, have a touchscreen user interface, can run third-party apps, music players and are camera phones. Most Smartphones produced from 2012 onwards also have high-speed mobile broadband 4G LTE internet, motion sensors, and mobile payment mechanisms.
