Seems mobile developers are getting more interested in developing Apple’s iPhone- and Google’s Android mobile platforms-based applications rather than Microsoft’s Windows Mobile apps.
Growth of the Apple iPhone and Google’s Android mobile platforms are cutting into the market for devices based on Windows Mobile and will continue to do so, according to a global survey of developers.
The survey, conducted by Santa Cruz, Calif.-based Evans Data Corp., found that fewer developers are using the .NET Compact Framework — 33 percent, compared with 40 percent six months ago. But on a global basis, it is still more widely used than tooling for other mobile platforms including the iPhone, Android, Research In Motion’s BlackBerry and even Nokia’s newly acquired Symbian platform, according to the survey.
