NOTAS: | "Device vendors, Internet players, and mobile operators are all vying to be the development platform and distribution partner of choice for mobile application developers. Mobile operators, who have long been courting application developers, have even changed their models to mirror those of successful rival players such as Apple and Google. But while there is a lot of speculation and anecdotal evidence around mobile application developer needs and requirements, there has been little actual data from developers to give a clear picture of how they view the market. Ovum's first mobile application developer survey provides a view of the trends in this nascent but fast-growing market, based on in-depth interviews with developers." |
