The Crash of Contest between Android and iPhone

in Mobile Application Development

With the introduction of new generation smart phones, the meaning of a mobile phone itself

has been redefined altogether. Most recently, we witness an enormous transformation in the

mobile application development arena as the leading smart phone companies have been

competing fiercely with each other though for a better user experience!

Despite the fact that, there are many other prominent smart phones are trying to get an

upper hand in the smart phone market, the competition between the giants like Google and

Apple draws more attention. The war between Google’s Android and Apples’ iPhone is

definitely getting tougher day by day.

At present, the utility of smart phones have been multiplied. The newest android

applications are used for privacy guarding, e-book reading, barcode reading, GPS tracking,

and for many more modern utilities. Gaming such as underwater puzzles games, light cycle

game and the like are known for their excellence as effective applications.

The applications are commonly used for both entertainment as well as major business

applications which require high efficiency and security. Similarly, iPhone too has many

applications that enrich our lives in all possible ways. Moreover, both Android and iPhone

smart phones are focusing more and more on the sophistication aspects such as enhancing

the user interface as well as working on the hardware refinement.

If we get deeper into the topic, we realize soon a reality that both the technologies are

incredibly distinctive on their own unique ways. Both the platforms offer excellent

opportunities to the application programmers. Android offers a free SDK to develop the

applications while Apple charges a small amount to sign up to the Apple store as iPhone

developer.

The rules are a bit simpler and favorable for android application developer than the iPhone

application developers. Apple has stricter rules when it comes to signing up, selling,

refunding etc.

Though at the moment, Apple leads the app development market, there is a huge possibility

of Android doing well in the coming years. Both the platforms are having its own strengths

and weaknesses, the competition between them drives the smart phone application

development scenario progressively efficient and refined.

Each developer involves with either iPhone application development or android application

development knows the fact that they cannot get away with things easily. The most

interesting fact is that the comparison between Android Market and Apple store is getting

deeper which naturally leads to the enrichment of these technologies in all areas of app

development.

The users are eager to obtain the best possible applications and mobile programs and the

good news is that they are ready to try out the new innovative apps coming in. This

scenario, in fact, acts as an encouraging factor for the developers who are involved with

both the technologies.

However, they require to have sound creative minds along with focused attempts in

excelling the technology! Towards the end of it all, what we expect is nothing but diverting

the competition to the right direction!
