when it comes to smart phones, Android and Apple are the two brands that are the most frequently talked about. The two different operating systems has made their own strengthens and weeknesses.
For iphone application development, Apple store is a convenient platform for the display and sales of applications. As for Android, it is improving but there still is a long way to go before it can be as good as Apple. So far as the end-users and the developers are concerned, the Apple stores have done a much better job.
It has been said that with the pace still growing, the Android market should not take it too lightly, which can pose a serious concern for the iphone market. Apple has a close operating system. The applicayion developers have to go through checks before they are accepted by the Apple store. The screen process can be discouraging for the decision whether the application can be sold is at the Apple store authorrities’ hands.
Every coin has two sides, the procedure is no exception. The Google Android market offers an open system which means applications can be directly published. The platform offers an easier access for the developer community to take their application to the market thus more developers might approve of the platform. With an open platform, it may provide more applications, and then more variety and diversity may come out.
However, more variety and diversity doesn’t guarantee better quality. The point may prove to be negative for its users for they have to seek for what is good as there are various applications available.
With iphone, the users won’t have to worry about sorting out the applications, which have gone through a screening process and only the qualified applications are presented to them. In this regard, the Android market community ratings and comments section offer some help, they can tell which applications are poor.
The amount of money Android changes from the developers is much less than that of iphone. Android’s lower cost on the platform makers it easier for the developers to have a smart. Comparatively, the iphone charges much more for an application to be launched, and attached is an uncertainty that when an application is rejected, it will not mean refund of the initiation fee.
Both the two operating platforms have theirs own pisitive and negative points, and it remains to be seen which strength will enentually be the winning strategy for them. Desipite the fact that much is predicted for both the iphone application development and Android application development sector, it is the statistics that will have the final say.
