Simple: Android.
Open source, healthy ecosystem, safe future. Around 60% of my friends with smartphones have Android devices. Don't worry about competition, there's plenty of demand. Just be good at it.
If open source isn't a requirement and you own a Mac then obviously iOS is a great choice too. For the time being I really wouldn't consider learning any platform apart from these two.
- macco 16y agoThanks iOS in not an option at the moment. I'm quite commited to open source.
- Zev 16y agoFWIW, iOS and open source aren't opposites. It is quite possible to have open source apps (or even use an open source library) on the app store - just avoid the GPL. My rationale: I contribute to Mobile Colloquy, an IRC client for iOS that is available under the BSD license. And we've never had any problems :)
