Comments on: ABI thinks 2013 is the year developers go Android first, but I doubt it http://gigaom.com/2013/03/04/abi-thinks-2013-is-the-year-developers-go-android-first-but-i-doubt-it/ Sat, 25 May 2013 22:36:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Saurabh Saxena http://gigaom.com/2013/03/04/abi-thinks-2013-is-the-year-developers-go-android-first-but-i-doubt-it/#comment-1319257 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 07:52:19 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=616473#comment-1319257 My basic dream phone is this:

• 720p+ OLED
• Large battery
• USB 3 (unpowered is fine)
• internal SSD (ie internally its a SATA 6gbps device)
• ~200+ gflop/s for the GPU (ie, gaming console replacement)

I really don’t care about quad core or not .. I’m sure it is progressing just fine and sticking with the crowd is sufficient.

No matter whether it is iPhone or Android based phone.

The Android devices from Amazon can not and there are a number of other devices running Android that can not as well.

I think this may be skewing the numbers quite a bit.

This is another Blog about market share and if we are talking commodity items, OK. But people buy Apple and get buying on the web WAY more than Android.

Android = cheap or free buyers. Yes they move apps, free apps.

Also, you still have the fragmented problem. Which version do you develop for??? So, no I just do not see this.

As soon as you say market share with Apple, all else is questionable.

Just a thought,

Now, one Aussie developer does not a trend make, but I suspect that the conventional wisdom is right about this and we’ll start to see more and more. Nice try, though!
