It is of course surprising that Android is more popular than any of the mobile operating systems, such as the so-called iOS. The openness, as the beauty of Android, has fascinated the entire world. An open source mobile operating system offers multiple advantages over any of the closer-source operating systems. First, anyone can use it, customize its features and implement them according to their business-based operations. Second, openness attracts those mobile manufacturers which do not have their own operating systems to power their mobile devices. Third, the openness, like of Android, allows developers easily publish their applications on the same day of submission. Fourth, it is the openness of Android that enables mobile device manufacturers to offer low-end smartphones that are available at the price range of regular phones. So, an open source OS seriously offers multiple advantages over close-source mobile operating systems.

Third party mobile developers appear to be quite happy with openness of Android because this OS nowadays power more than 60 percent smartphones over the world. There are many reports by different ...
... research firms that suggest that Android, for powering more smartphones than any of the operating systems, is leading the global mobile phone domain. An article of Androidcentra.com with the title “Android dominates Apple, Microsoft in smart mobile device shipments for Q1” shares that Android is certainly dominating the mobile domain. It refers the total shipment of smartphones in the first of quarter of this year. Android powered Samsung’s smartphone had 26.6% market share in first quarter this year, while iOS powered iPhone just had 19.3% market share. Even when counting laptops and tablets, Android was powering 59-percent of all devices shipped in Q1.

Let us come to Android application development part. Developing Android application is also a hot trend nowadays. More and more businesses are discovering the advantages of being on Android platform. People are adopting more Android devices than anything else because of their cheap prices, which is in fact the result of the openness of this OS. The more the users are using this platform, the more the developers have chances to get a strong exposure for their applications. And every developer wants that their apps receive tons of download for the success and survival of their apps.

Many developers argue for the less earnings of Android apps so for all of them, the good news is that the gap between earnings of iphone apps development and Android apps is going to be filled in next few months. ABI research has recently published a report which suggests that in coming 18 months, the gap between the earnings of iPhone apps and Android, because of which many developers do not want to build apps for Android, will most likely fill by the end of 2014. Other reports suggest that this gap has already been filled in the spring of this year.
