Mobile Developer Economics 2010 and Beyond

From VisionMobile:


Developer Economics 2010 provides insights into platform selection, application
planning, code development and debugging, as well as support, go-to-market
channels, promotion, revenue generation, and hot topics such as the role of open
source and network operators.

The objectives behind this research were to analyse the mobile developer experience
from two very different angles:
1. Survey the perceptions of mobile developers across the eight major platforms -
Android, iOS (iPhone), BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Phone, Flash/Flash Lite,
Java ME and mobile web (WAP/XHTML/CSS/JavaScript) – and through a
balanced combination of online surveys and telephone interviews.
2. Benchmark the app development experience across four platforms
(iOS/iPhone, Symbian, Android, Java ME) through hands-on development of
nine mini applications.
