60 percent of the developers asked had been or are working on Android projects, with the iPhone and Jave ME following behind with roughly 50 percent each.
Exactly how does the linkbait headline follow from any of the data on the page? Even if we assume that this difference is both statistically significant and not an artifact?
Even "Android developers and apps are growing in numbers", while apparently true according to other sources, isn't shown by this data. These data are from a single point in time.
- spot 16y agoDo you have any doubt that a year ago the numbers for Android were much less?
- mechanical_fish 16y agoNo. And that's not what the headline says. Both Android and iPhone can gain developers at the same time. Or, developers can work on both Android and iPhone and count twice. That's obviously happening, since the number for Android is "60%" and the number for iPhone is "50%". Obviously those are not mutually exclusive groups.
