| okr said: The more interesting questions regading SP apps are imo: When will the app boom be over? If I was an app developer I wouldn't be worried about Android fragmentation, I'd be worried about drowning in a sea of competitors and media which will forever list Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Instagram, Shazam and 46 other usual suspect as "50 must-have apps". |
the app boom is already over for developers... last year we could charge around 150 euros an hour to build an app.. now it's already ~50% down due to competion.. and we are worried about the fragmentation... not many clients understand that an android app costs more time/more money due to the fragmentation... we build multiple versions or stacking versions which disables certain functions depending on the OS version, there is a lot more testing, i think we have about 15 android devices at the office compared to 5 iOS, debugging costs a lot more time cause everyone manufacter has their own UI crap, screen sizes etc... we care less about the competition cause in the end your app can be advertised which is the most important aspect into an app succes many "garage" developers don't have money for..
