Windows, Android and Apple heat up in mobile development race. |
Listed in: News Tags: android developers, apple apps, google devs, iphone apps, windows 8 phone
The games industry has been flailing between entire network's going down and companies wondering what their next move will be. Mobile's have gotten slightly bigger, a lot friendlier and a lot smarter. With Android proudly announcing it's ten billionth download this month what is in the cards for other developers when it comes to phone apps and games?
Well, the 10 billion for Android has shown that there's a larger market outside of the iPhone app crowd. This is fantastic as without any kind of independence there would be no competition for Apple to continue to "look" like it's fighting for. Meanwhile, in the land of Windows, Microsoft has just announced something fantastic for would-be developers of their Windows 8 Phone's....an 80% cut of the profits.
While that may look desperate to some the actual revenue gained for making an app for other developers varies wildly. A recent study of over a hundred developers working for Apple and Google showed that the mean average for a life time development for applications (games or otherwise) was just over a hundred thousand dollars. More often than not that hundred thousand was not part or full time indie developers but actual iOS companies according to StreamingColour.
The more people developing for one platform or another the more of a saturation there will appear to be. Much like how the Wii was flooded with shovel-ware titles the iPhone app store has a lot of charlatans looking to sell you something that was coded over a weekend and probably just plays the Nyan Cat theme with a 128kbps mp3...is there an app for that?
