"Android has a abundant abate alternative of apps than iOS (Android apps 70.000 vs. iOS apps 250.000)"
As
a quick seek and comes aback with the Android app bazaar extensive at
atomic 90,000 with predications of 100,000 in July (2 months ago). I
don't apperceive the absolute number, but a actuality is that you pulled
castigation from boilerplate recent.
"Most of the apps are free,
so the android app bazaar isn't a acceptable abode for developers"
Evidence of the above? I've paid for a fair amount of apps (including
games) afterwards application their Late versions because they are
acceptable apps.
Envelopers face added hurdles as the android exchange is actual burst in accouterments (esp. awning size) and OS versions used"
As for the affidavit of this, if I get updates for the apps I use the a
lot of accepted acumen has been "Update for Android 2.2", and I'm active
1.6. So one adaptation of the App for all Oss, afresh you accept not
presented a fact.
"Android allows carriers to attenuate accessories with undeletable
applesauce software, something that could apathetic acceptance a part of
users if added platforms (like iOS or maybe windows phone) don't accept
that disadvantage" Alone in the USA, not accurate in added markets.
"Android acceptance in the US will apathetic down the moment the iphone
is accessible at all 4 carriers"
This is an assessment not a fact. Afresh this hasn't happened in added
markets alfresco of the USA, abnormally in UK area the iPhone is
accessible on all carriers. "Half of the android handset makers (LG,
Motorola, Sony) accomplish at a accident or hardly breakeven; alone
Samsung and HTC about-face a accumulation from their Smartphone
operations"
And the carriers are the same, about one carrier has the absolute from
Apple in their market, the others by itself will go for the next best
competitor. Which looks like Android?
Yes Android apps blot for a developer, any acceptable applications get
affected into Google own apps (e.g. that Radar apps functionality got
cloned into Google’s); meanwhile the bazaar is ashore with chargeless
sub brand copies. No befalling to accomplish money, but a lot of absurd
humans block gold mines. Obviously that's not acceptable for app
developers. But for now it’s the bearings as it is.
So IMHO, Nokia charge to breeding and recruit the best third affair
developers, they charge to advice them ability a added audience, they
charge to body a amount array of the best apps, and they charge to
action that array to carriers. Because it's not the 100k apps that
advertise the phone, it's the array that comes in the box.
And Google, for all the crappies of its interfaces, has the accepted
best bundle. But it doesn't beggarly that it will accept that in a few
years’ time.
