Android to be Favorite Platform for Developers Over iOS in 6 Months - Predicts Google Chairman

[ Chip Hazard / Wahaab JB ] 7 Dec

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt predicts that mobile developers will prioritize Android over iOS  in the next six months as he believes the high volume of Android shipments (which gave Google that largest share of worldwide smartphone sales) will make Android the favorite platform for developers.

Schmidt at the LeWeb conference in Paris is reported to have said:

Ultimately, application vendors are driven by volume, and volume is favored by the open approach Google is taking. There are so many manufacturers working to deliver Android phones globally.

Whether you like Android or not, you will support that platform, and maybe you’ll even deliver it first.
