Two things that I find to be very nice/cool when developing for Android:
- As mentioned in the article, applications are bundles of components and have no specific entry point. To be more accurate, they have multiple entry points.
- The Intent system. Not only does it provide an easy and robust way to integrate deeply with other apps, it also provides a simple IPC mechanism. Intents can be used to publish and subscribe to events between applications and are incredibly simple to use.

Like Web sites.

Almost RESTy. Except for the callback part. But using an app model that is similar to Web service and Web app development is quite handy.
You know, when I first learned android development, its similarity to web development stuck me. Xml layouts (html), content resources (rest), the back button etc etc. I don't think its a coincidence or my web dev background
