The point with Android is that developers will follow what consumers adopt. They'll put up with Android fragmentation in the same way they put up with the App Store approval process - because they have to.
Facebook have listed mobile as a risk in their S-1. When they started they didn't have the mobile risk.
> I agree with your overall point, but you overreach on a lot of your arguments. Seems like you just wrote it to write it.
I don't think I'm over-reaching. What are the arguments that you would present resulting in the same conclusion that aren't over-reaching?
- wdewind 15y agoIs that actually true? Are there more developers on Android than iOS right now? (Honestly don't know). Should it be true? It seems like general consensus that the android app store is much harder to make money in than iOS. Facebook did list mobile as a risk on their S1, but they listed THEIR mobile app as a risk. They are worried that if they put ads on it mobile use will drop significantly. If they listed other mobile stuff as well, I've forgotten and please point it out.
- amirnathoo 15y agoOk, I can respond to this, but what about your agreement with the conclusion, and the arguments that you would make to support it? No, I would bet that there are not more developers on Android than iOS right now, and more money is being made on iOS. Do you think the gap is widening or getting smaller? Given that Android as an app market didn't exist 2 years ago, I'm betting the latter.
