Apple iOS vs Google Android OS
A recent report revealed that in the second quarter of 2011, developers prefer the Apple iOS than Google Android operating system (Apple iOS vs Google Android OS).

According to data released by Flurry, a company that provides statistical data application developers, this time the developers tend to create applications for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPAD, rather than for Android applications.

The study revealed that in the second quarter of 2011, 57 percent of the new applications project are created for the iPhone, up from number 54 percent in the first quarter of 2011. As reported by IT Portal, Friday (07/15/2011).

The data in the study also shows that in the second quarter of 2011, 15 percent of the new applications project created for the iPad, up 10 percent from first quarter 2011.

As for Android, instead suffered a setback. Because for the second quarter of 2011, only 28 percent of new application projects that are intended for Android, a decline from the previous figure that is still around 36 percent in the first quarter of 2011.

Flurry mentioned that there are two main reasons of the decline in interest in the application developers for Android, the first is the launch of the iPhone 4, while the second is the launch of the iPad 2.

"Google should take prompt steps so that Apple does not continue to attract application developers," said Flurry, in response to an increase in the percentage interest of developers to the iOS.

Nice. It is a good sign for Apple. I also think so. Because I just practically observed it. Apple is a slandered brand. I always prefer Apple's product.

I never quite realized how Apple became a slandered brand. Now,with Apple overtaking Microsoft, I wonder what MS has to say about playing second fiddle.

@Logo Design: Maybe this can be asked to MS...:)

Whatever people might say .. apple is the standard. and they sell the product that is best optimized ..

Apple is best in terms of innovation for me, buut since Android is Open-Source it is quiet cheaper than iOS.

I guess it is more of a marketing strategy as to why many software engineers tend to create more applications for Apple products rather than Android. Personally, I find iPhone more user friendly than Android smartphones. iPhone is more well-known, and lets admit it, in demand right now.

Great article …Thanks for your great information, the contents are quiet interesting. I will be waiting for your next post.
