We
keep hearing about the Mobile Operating System Android. Android
devices (including the “forked” version of the base version) make
up more than 70% of the mobile market share. Phones that are
supported by the Android platform come in a wide variety of shapes
and sizes, that span over a wide price range as well. This along with
Google's (who Android is licensed to) strategy of making the Android
source open to all through it's AOSP (Android Open Source Project)
created even more opportunities for the market players. Who now had
the opportunity to create their own “flavor” on top of the basic
version. Amazon being the classic example with it's. Amazon went
ahead and got itself even more attention with it's Android fork
created specially to grow and flourish it's native environment, with
it's not popular app store as well as email services and much more.
A
new entrant to this practice is Nokia. Currently owned by Microsoft,
Nokia grabbed quite a few eyeballs with it's decision to unveil a new
line of mobile devices that ran on forked versions of Google's
Android. With it's “Nokia X” series, that are especially aimed at
emerging markets, the company intends to turn it's bad fortunes
upside down by riding on the wide reach of the open source platform
plus including it's own twist to the mix that somewhat borrows a bit
from it's parent Window's user experience. And then market this
concoction to the low to mid ranged economies to make it sell like
hotcakes. As far as developers are concerned. Nokia reasons that the
Nokia X ecosystem does offer decent support for existing popular apps
so that users don't feel left out. But for a lot of other apps,
porting and other tweaks might be necessary. Here's a good
opportunity for Android
App Development India professionals
to try their hand at yet another new platform. Since, as mentioned
before the OS used here is a variation of the Android platform, so
getting used to the new architecture shouldn't be much of a problem.
Due
to the competitive cost and Nokia's willingness and focus to pump out
as many devices that they can for the target market, means that this
new influx of devices would indeed be a good market for Android
App Development India to
fault their wares. The service industry is one that is booming at a
considerable rate and the more agile and informed you remain about
the changes and advances, the better chance of your success. Now,
even though Google is trying to perform damage control strategies by
creating patents and new guidelines to control the forking of it's
OS, it's still facing a lot of competition from it's own breed.
This
further solidifies the concreteness of the Mobile market. With just a
few years ago, the creators of the Android OS had proposed an offer
to Samsung which was rejected which ended up being a mistake for
them. Android
App Development India
professionals
too need to be on the lookout from all sides and have a flexible
business strategy that can accommodate the dynamic challenges that
comes with creating solutions for the Mobile market.
