Ovum, those folks responsible for providing objective analysis to the masses, says Android will top iOS in development by the year 2013. According to and based off of a developer survey given, the company states that Android would become more important to dev’s than Apple’s iOS by the time the new year rings in. How so you say? According to the study they came to the conclusion based off of the rapid movement in the hardware dept. Ovum believes Apple may still remain a tight second while closely followed by companies like Blackberry and Windows Phone. We’d have to agree based on the fact that Android is spreading like a wild fire and has rapidly gained ground as the primary choice of OS. And while Google still has some hurdles to jump (fragmentation cough cough), we have high hopes that they’ll get their stuff together eventually. In addition and regardless of Android’s large market share, it’s been dully noted that when it comes to the Android Market, there is a serious issue with discoverability and piracy. We’ll certainly continue to follow trends and analysis like these as we’re sure there will be plenty of more. Any thoughts of your own? Feel free to plug away in the comments below.
