The problem of developing for Android

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

This morning I saw this great chart by Michael Degusta that clearly shows Android’s poor support for its phones. This is the reason why enterprises are choosing iOS devices over Android ones. This is why many company choose to develop for iOS first. This is why many developers choose to stick with iOS only.

Few months ago I bought a Nexus One, so that I could test some Android apps we are developing at 39, and yesterday I found out that Ice Cream Sandwich (the upcoming Android version) won’t be available since the phone is too obsolete. Now, this is a phone that is only few months older than the iPhone 3gs, that is still sold, supported and updated by Apple.

Android app volume to pass App Store but iOS developers to lead in revenue

Friday, September 9th, 2011

The Android platform has lots of software stores in addition to Google’s own Android Market, including GetJar and Amazon. The Ovum report noted that Apple “can’t compete with such diversity, but still leads in the value of its apps.”

If you think the App Store is full of junk you should take a look to the Android store.

“Android apps are living in the Wild West without a sheriff,” Howe wrote. “With five other major mobile OSs competing for consumer dollars, Google can’t afford to simply let pirates kill app developers’ businesses. They need to foster some law and order or developers will flee to other platforms and Android will lose customers”

Interesting, some developers actually ask for a more “close” Android store.
