Developers of applications for the iPhone

Smart phone application developer is coding everything and can barely cope with the Apple iPhone and iPad, not to mention the outbreak of the Android-powered devices, and new products from RIM and Microsoft. The transport of joint investigative teams IDC / 2760 Quarterly Appcelerator developers of mobile applications, unveiled today.

The study is the third collaboration with IDC and Appcelerator, products that help developers to submit applications for new cross-platform versions. Over the past six months, is that developers are interested in Apple's IOS platform and Google's Android platform without modification, sent many Android devices than any other type.'

Application developers say the problem is that Android is more and more devices, it is difficult to develop because of the abundance of data and pool equipment developers of new applications that are relevant to web developers, and two years ago, buildings offices. Robert Koch, whose team has developed a task list organizer wonderful book grapples with the opportunity to Android development every day. (The list is surprising in Ios, Android OS X, Windows and the Web).

 

It 's very, very difficult to find a good use Android to write, said Cook, different screen resolutions, the speed of hardware and the processor is busy on the basic question. ; We had many devices [test] our small application to manage now.

list of miracles is a free, Koch had no chance on the effects of imperfect charge Android, the barrier to sell Google's Android Market has been observed. Although the list of miracles was quite high, Android, said Koch, download only 7 percent of Android in the library of all current day miracle downloads. Miracle on Apple App Store library has three months longer than it was in the Android market, but also its share investigations Android is weak, said Koch.

Google has an overwhelming support from the numbers, but is not as clean as could be expected to transfer the interest of developers, said Scott Ellison, IDC. , Is more interested in Apple and Android. Developers can choose the number two basic platform, the numbers of sold and installed.

Studies show that close to the surface to the platform and IOS reveals Android platform, the RIM has serious problems, according to Ellison. Developers interested in the RIM Blackberry 11 percentage points from last quarter, only 27 percent said that the developers are very interested in what the applications for the platform, even if compressed Blackberry to come, and although most of the respondents working in business applications that are internal and RIM's stronghold.

Developers interested in Microsoft Windows Mobile 7 OS also declined by 7 percentage points to 29 percent of respondents, but moved to RIM in total, developers, Mindshare. Microsoft needs to win the best place to spend the space of three [in mobile] said Ellison, who want to use the computer to integrate the mobile operating system from Microsoft, Nokia, and then in sales of big business.

As for the tablets of Android, developers are much less interested in individual units, as a platform as a whole. Ellison writes about the situation of their hardware frustration so far, including Samsung and Motorola Galaxy Tab compressed Xoom. Some studies have been that the developers do not want to format developed by Apple 10-inch tablet, at the end, they feel more than seven inches disclosed.

connection to the Internet and cloud computing is increasingly important for developers of applications, with 84 percent indicating that the cloud of calls to their applications. Much of what is the integration of social media like Facebook and Twitter, but the list of miracles is greater integration between the clouds arrived. Since the function is the ability to synchronize seamlessly with all devices and platforms, which can hardly exist without the clouds of connectivity.

One of the reasons Ellison at IDC, said his company uses the Appcelerator Developer is based on the study may be less than the average party. Titanium Appcelerator platform is designed to be used only for web developers to develop skills to create web applications that can then be ready for native applications for mobile platforms to create. So these programmers are relatively new to the phone, and perhaps less biased. Appcelerator motivation to work in collaboration with IDC is still not directly involved: the developers of overload and fragmentation problems detected in the survey instrument are exactly what their platform is designed to solve.

List miracle Koch is a big fan of the Titan platform, which was established after an evaluation of competing platforms like PhoneGap. He said that the development time that the list of miracles on many operating systems, only four months was a plan, it would not be possible without titanium. Asked whether he calls the list of ports of RIM and Windows Mobile 7, said he would like, but do not have time.
