App development: Defining the way to go!

Google’s CEO Larry Page made some opening announcements during the Google Q2 2013 earnings call. Passed off rather casually, the co-founder announced that over 900 Million Android devices have been activated since their launch in 2008. If the news isn’t enough to impress, Android product activations have been noted to have a steady rise throughout the year, with an average of 1.5 million units activated every passing day, which amounts to roughly 17 devices being activated every second as you read this article.

Such extraordinary statistics support Android’s march to world domination, leading the global market with 80% of the pie, thus being far ahead its competitors. iOS gives a considerable challenge to Android and Windows Phone OS is the newest entrant in the race and looks rather promising. These many platforms ensure that the coming era in the world of information technology will be of apps. From educational tablets to feature filled smartphones, apps have redefined the way people are using hand-held gadgets.

App development is crucial for every venture, be it an enterprise application or a game or an educational institute. The rise in the number of smartphone and tablet users is sufficient reason to develop for all these platforms. Due to devices being available at reasonable prices and literally thousands being sold every day, the call for development of high-end enterprise applications has gained all the more resonance. Offices can easily implement BYOD schemes and reduce costs in the communication department by developing a one stop solution for communication in the form of an app.

App development for different platforms is rampantly advancing with the influx of regular updates and patches by Google, Apple and Microsoft. The emphasis of the OS makers in making the platforms secure and smooth for hosting apps.

The graph ahead for smart devices can only be predicted to rise further up north. Wearable gadgets and applications for them are making a steady rise in the market. With the launch of the revolutionary Google Glass, augmented reality is set to be changed forever. Google has encouraged development for the Project Glass using the existing Android SDK, thus ensuring that there are several applications that would require the Glass to be paired to an Android device.

The advent of smart watches such as the Pebble e-watch or Sony’s smartwatch has unleashed potential for more development in more variants of wearable technology. Having real time updates and notifications being pushed onto your watch thus effectively eliminating the need for pulling out your device seems a much more conventional alternative, and the wait is over since such devices already exist.

Software Developers India (SDI) is a company that has been around the development scenario since the inception of third party apps. They are renowned for making quality mobile applications that cater to the needs of a variety of businesses, be them big or small. The exceptional quality of apps developed by SDI can be witnessed by their revolutionary apps portfolio.
