Google play might very well have more apps than the app store but the quality is higher in apple's store.

Also, AFAIK, the developers of iOS apps don't have to pay for the iOS to experiment on either. So your point "a" seems to not make any sense. And while it may be easier to release on Android, in some cases it may be harder to code for, because of all the permutations of tablets and OS overlays out there. You really haven't set forth logical reasons for why developers appear to be opting for Android over iOS. So it has to be money. Quote:

As for the IDC report, it's just a survey. The fact is, these developers are going for the android platform over iOS. Also, the chart breaks out "Kindle Fire" and "Google Nexus" separately. But they are also the Android platform. So if you add up the numbers given for those two devices PLUS the numbers given for "Android Phones" and "Android Tablets" it appears that the Android platform has more overall interest. Quote:

there are a lot of developers who create things for free as a hobby, that also make a living as a full-time developer.

As usual, PatNY should have saved his breath and spared himself the embarrassment of being wrong once again. iOS generates higher revenues for both app purchases and mobile advertising.

The apps that suck on Android are usually straight ports from iOS where they don't follow the Android guidelines, but the iOS ones instead. Apps developed from the ground up for Android are as good as those developed for iOS. There are plenty of examples of great apps on Android.

Bit of a dubious point considering that it only claimed to be dealing with Opera... you can equally say that it doesn't deal with Safari ad impressions which would guarantee a skew in the opposite direction to Dolphin... it's actually dealing with a cross-platform browser available under both Android and iOS... I'm surprised that you didn't attack the other, far more obvious flaws in the data but I'll leave that with you...

And, fyi, Dolphin is the predominant browser on Android. --Pat Last edited by PatNY; 01-05-2013 at 10:43 PM. |

Your sole claim these last few pages is that app developers are flocking to Android en masse because of the promise of profitability it offers. "You really haven't set forth logical reasons for why developers appear to be opting for Android over iOS. So it has to be money." "And because developers are free to code for either A or B, the only reason they'd choose A over B is because of potential profit." iOS app revenue is 400% greater than Android app revenue. iOS ad revenue is 347% greater than Android ad revenue. Whither these amazing profits? Last edited by holymadness; 01-05-2013 at 11:15 PM. |

Please read before replying. These are not ads in the Opera browser, they are ads delivered via the Opera mobile advertising network. 80% of them appear in apps on all smartphone platforms.
