Android App Development India to Benefit from Burgeoning Android Share Well, it's secret that Android is on a steady climb upwards, and now it's even more apparent because IDC has new numbers that show how Android has seen a tremendous amount of growth in terms of devices shipped in the market in just a this year, with numbers passing the 300 million mark. And this is just in a very little period of time, which is baffling.

Because people are increasingly looking at ways to connect and access all their many devices which are incidentally, majorly all Android devices. As it stands right now, Android has become the average working class person's luxury, more of a peoples' phone. Which Android owner, Google has no qualms against and in right measure. Google is well aware of the fact that this is a great opportunity for it to ease hordes of people to the operating system, many of which are directly migrating over from feature phones. And although, the conversion rate isn't all that mind melting at the moment, it won't be the same forever, and Google needs to be at the forefront of it all. Because, time is money in the mobile business. Google also knows that the more people use its platform, the better it'll be able to generate revenue from its ad business. Android app development India services would be more in demand because more and more people would want to get their services and want their apps made available because of their wide outreach. Another thing, that's been in discussion for quite a bit now, is how people are migrating towards larger screen sizes. We've come a long way since a 4" screen was considered enough. Now, smartphones have turned into these multi-purpose devices that pack enough heat for a decent workweek on your desktop computer a decade ago. With high-end models having specifications that'd even beat the many laptops that are 6-7 years ago, you know that the smartphone market is fast becoming one that holds a lot of promise. Recent analyses of the data taken from over 1000 users over 5 countries show how more and more people are in the quest to look for smartphones that are a good medium between tablets and phones, both internal performance wise as well as screen size wise, even users in the emerging market segments. A need so dire, that even the rigid Apple is supposedly coming out with the next iPhone that'll


have a screen size of over 4.7" to 5" in size. Well, this is going to make Android application development India professionals heed more to demand and want to optimize their apps to look better on larger screens.

At a time when the competition is at it's peak, with newer players like Xiaomi with some really solid devices at really cost effective prices, as a financial corporation, you need to be at your toes at all times. The best thing about Google is that it has its priorities straight in having a very strong software presence in the form of the Android operating system. Because, as I mentioned above, coming up with a device that has great specifications is relatively easier than coming up with an entirely new operating system and then making users want to buy your products as well. And speaking of Google, here is another product that it has tried to launch with some positive response from the crowds. Which is the Android wearable device, that has sort of been its second attempt at pushing a wearable device, the first being Glass, which although, was met with a enthusiasm and later turned sour for the company. But they were still able to sell all the devices they had planned within hours of making it available to the general public. The first phase of more or less, testing the water was through Samsung and LG's smartwatches. Again, these devices were in no means, revolutionary. Either in their performance or in their aesthetics. Although, they have been able to give a decent performance for what they are supposed to do. Which is be sort of an extension to their Android smartphone. Google making their Android wear SDK or software development tools available to developers early on, made sure that the developers had enough time to become familiar with the new platform and even optimize their apps to run on it, with letting their test their apps' performance.


Slated to be released later this year, Motorola's smartwatch might just change the game a little bit, on how a mix of performance and looks can create a big impact on users' minds. Because the folks at Moto have designed a very pleasing design for the watch, imitating that of the conventional watch design. Which in itself was enough to garner a lot of responses from people, many of whom expressed that they were in fact just waiting for the Moto 360 to be available for purchase. I think that this would be the time that the smartwatch will make a bigger impact on the world. And also push more and more Android app development India professionals to take up development for wearables, rather than view it has more of a side project. Because as things stand right now, developers still devote most of their time to creating better solutions for the smartphone platform, understandably because of the prevalence of this over say, smartwatches. And also because there is a bit of a heavy dependence by wearbles on smartphones to function the best. Users will appreciate and adopt the device more after they will be able to use it by itself as a standalone device, then who knows we might even witness a surge in these kinds of devices that are used on the person as compared to a smartphone that is pretty distant.
