The report shows that the average developer, while 2.9 ecosystem-based - most likely a mix of Andr oid, IOS and Windows Phone(THL W8 Beyond) - whether it is for Android, iOS, or on HTML5 as its main platform, 84% of the time. This is from 2011, developers built 3.2 ecosystem and displays, Blackberry may have been falling out of favor.

And more and more developers are building Andr oid who are just building a platform that developers tend to choose the first iOS: 59-49% of people chose Android first, although Android The 4X first transport equipment.


Even though Windows Phone(THL W9) has a significant amount of developer interest, the number is actually down from the previous quarter. It will still be challenging to break into Microsoft in the smartphone market leadership positions in the top two, VisionMobile said in the report.

Android's iOS duopoly still remain strong, there is no indication that it may be in the foreseeable future challenges. Once the network has reached the scale effect and kicking, it is almost impossible for competitors to compete directly, and replace leadership.
