Android Development
Android is currently projected to be the second-most-popular mobile OS in the world by the end of 2010, gaining more marketshare than both iOS and BlackBerry, and only beaten by Nokia’s Symbian OS. It’s even expected that by 2014, Android will rival Symbian for worldwide marketshare, with less than a single percentage point separating them. It’s obvious that Android has become an incredibly important platform for smartphone app development.
