By developing for the iPhone you are mostly restricting your market to North America. It is available overseas but not very popular for a number of reasons. This may not bother you but it is something to consider. By comparison Blackberry seems to have a well entrenched user base everywhere I go, and almost every business targetted device seems to run J2ME or full blown Java.
- elai 18y agoBut, with the iphone, you have a userbase that will have an easily available way to get the programs. Almost no one in canada installs java programs at all. All the money is in the default blackberry apps. It's the difference between a feature being there and it being easy enough to use.
- vlad 18y agoThe iPhone hasn't been out for even a year. Furthermore, over that time, it's only been available in 6 countries, and maybe only the US when it first launched last July. Now that it is going to be available in 70 countries before the end of the year, and has support for about 16 languages (versus just English), I think a developer may see 30-50% of his customers come from outside the United States.
- bprater 18y agoWhy is this getting modded down? He's presenting useful information that may or may not be relevant to some developers. Please mod down idiots, but not someone taking the time to present useful facts.
