A review of Android Application Development process
July 2, 2010 Categories: Android
The overall quantity of Android Apps is stated to have surpassed 50,000. At first the figure can strike one’s imagination but if compared to the 185,000 applications acquirable at Apple’s App Store one realizes that there are still mountains to climb. But, nevertheless, the growth rate is impressive. The applications range from the fun-and-funky variety to those with determined utility. They targeted at all facets of life and all types of interests. But the question arises whether all those apps are that necessary. When the App Store hit 5000 apps, it definitely had everything 99% of people wanted. Moreover, great numbers do not guarantee great calibre though establish increasing popularity.
Android app stipulations are not that strict as those of Apple. Thus, all the polishing up and refining petty features that has been key features of Apple’s application policy and a bar preventing many apps from entering the Apple’s Sacred Site, turned out to be a calibre insurance initiative protecting users.
But calibre Android apps have become more frequent lately, and will definitely continue now that serious hardware has been deployed, like Droid, Nexus 1, Astounding and a range of other Google phones. Before late 2009 nobody took Android seriously because the gadget performance did not come up to users’ expectations. Now more top Android developers are getting serious about making an appealing Android app to get some green and to enlarge their portfolio.
Developers surely give Android a share of their time. Though, high-profile application developers tend to pay less attention to Android customers as they do to the iPhone counterparts. But changes are possible. That attitude shift has been caused by several factors:
-Android is an OS that can be installed at devices that people never even imagined possible.
-A strong application market encourages potential buyers, thus stimulating hardware enhancements, which in their turn give greater possibilities for further Android application development.
Now Apple application market is stated to have reached its upper limit but the market has tons of room to wage for Android apps. But nowadays it is also doable to speak about a very important emerging feature – any great app that comes out, comes out on all platforms. It’s definitely more profitable to follow that path and it’s not that difficult to convert the code over. The only thing that kills the joy is that Apple is going to band the mentioned code-shift, implying that all iPhone apps should be written with the use of the initial code and language.
The move will definitely be an onset on developers’ rights. But each year has a silver lining – the advent of the iPad has given another gadget to create highly useful and absolutely useless apps for. Moreover, when Windows Mobile 7 rolls out this year, developers will have a great crowd of Microsoft mobile fans to target at.
