Since its launch in 2007 by the search giant Google - Android has
invaded the application development market and outrun all competition
with its technology and features.
This has resulted in majority of the crowd shifting from their traditional OS platforms to the android for their smartphones. According to this market trend it is safe to assume that Android will devastate the market in terms of highest market contribution in the years to come. This is the most overwhelming part of this technology. Android as compared to any of the older OS platforms is totally reliable and dynamic. A great number of app development companies are deeply stirred by this phenomenon in the mobile app industry and are striving to extract unsurpassed benefits from this operating system platform.
As an application developer if you have recently become familiar with this cutting-edge Android technology and wish to achieve some major milestones in this industry, then there are a few things you have to keep in mind to articulate award winning Android applications that would give a major breakthrough in your career.
Advantages of the Android App Development -
1.The main motive behind it is to collect information in a simple and speedy fashion and furnish proper user request in return.
2.The development tools are very simple to use and can be availed by developer rookies as well.
3.As it is an open source development program, this gives the developers freedom to use all services and design applications without having to get copyrights and other formal necessities.
4.Provides successful browser features to offer superior services.
5.Android is based on the Linux kernel which reduces the chances of application crashes and hangs and provides enhanced application security.
The business of Android app development is speckles as compared to the other present software development companies. At the moment, Android application developers have the most creative and inspiring abilities, every day they are coming up with innovative and amazing application ideas. Android app development has revealed amazing routes for outsourcing sophisticated android services and skill. The application development companies as a result, are offering the best and lucrative business solutions to their clientele.
With Android app development, businesses today can avail extremely top-notch development services at awfully reasonable rates. The Android applications are reliable and cost effective. This saves precious time and finance for the companies which would have otherwise been wasted if they opted for other tedious application development platforms.
Devices like the HTC One and Samsung's Galaxy S4 sport displays larger than those of their predecessors, a result of some consumers' preference for larger screens. However, HTC and Samsung have also released the One Mini and Galaxy S4 mini, smaller-screened "flagship" handsets with less powerful specs, meant to compete with Apple's iPhone for buyers that want smaller devices. Those "mini flagships," though, have seen low sales, according to DigiTimes.
Citing industry sources, DigiTimes claims that the S4 mini has seen lackluster sales. This is due in part to the middling specs of the smaller-screened device, which has to compete with an array of other mid-range offerings from Samsung. Consumers are not flocking to the HTC One mini either, and the manufacturer has reportedly been forced in some markets to cut nearly 20 percent off that device's sale price just two months after its introduction.
Aside from competition from larger-screened, equally-specced devices, another factor could be Apple's iPhone, which marries the high-end performance typically seen in larger devices with the smaller form factor many consumers prefer. Multiple studies have already shown that more Android users switch to the iPhone than vice versa, and the recent record-breaking sales of Apple's newest iPhones indicate that there is still an appetite for devices in its size range, despite the poor sales of competitors' entries. Still, Android manufacturers' smaller flagship phones have found no traction among consumers, even though they are typically priced well below the iPhone.
Apple's refusal so far to move beyond a four-inch screen is due in part to the company's insistence that iPhone users should be able to operate their devices with just one hand. The screen size of the iPhone 5, 5s, and 5c allows most users to hold the device in one hand and access each part of the screen with a thumb.
Apple is still rumored to be working on an iPhone with a larger screen, though such rumors have persisted for some time. CEO Tim Cook has hinted that iPhones could get bigger displays when Apple can produce them without making trade-offs in terms of battery life, color reproduction, and other factors.

Sony's $200 smartwatch works with Android phones
Posted: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 12:00 pm
NEW YORK — Sony says its new computerized wristwatch will sell for $200 in the U.S. and will work with a variety of Android phones.
Sony's SmartWatch 2 hasn't gotten as much attention as Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy Gear, but it's cheaper and compatible with a broader range of phones. The Gear costs $300 and currently works only with the company's Galaxy Note 3 phone.
Unlike the Gear, however, Sony's watch doesn't let you make phone calls directly through the wristwatch. You can answer calls using the watch, but you need a Bluetooth wireless headset linked to the phone if you don't want to hold it to your ear.
Sony Corp. said Tuesday that the watch is available immediately through the company's physical and online stores. Other online retailers will also sell it.
As more people own smartphones and tablets, consumer-electronics companies are creating a new category of products to give consumers more ways to stay connected — and to spend money. Qualcomm Inc. also plans to release a smartwatch in time for the holidays, while Apple is widely believed to be developing an iWatch.
The company said its smartwatch is designed to perform common tasks such as checking texts and email, liking Facebook posts and getting calendar reminders. Reply capabilities will be limited; you can respond to a text from a list of emoticons or preset messages, for instance.
"The average smartphone user reaches for their device more than 100 times per day to check text messages, read emails and social network notifications and of course, to check the time," Ravi Nookala, U.S. president of Sony Mobile Communications, said in a statement. "SmartWatch 2 makes these core tasks easier, and does much more with apps available, for everything from productivity to fitness and games."
SmartWatch 2 is designed to complement a phone — specifically those running Android 4.0 or later. Sony promises three to four days of battery life between charges, compared with about a day for the Gear. The display measures 1.6 inches diagonally, the same as the Gear.
Separately, Sony announced the U.S. availability of two new phones:
— The Xperia Z Ultra is a larger version of its Xperia Z waterproof smartphone. It has a 6.4-inch screen, among the largest out there. A standard version will retail for $650, while a faster, 4G LTE version will sell for $680.
— The Xperia Z1 is a 5-inch phone that sports a massive 20.7-megapixel camera and is capable of attaching better lenses. That retails for $670.
The phones won't be locked to a specific wireless carrier, but they won't work with Verizon or Sprint's network. Sony did not announce plans for locked, subsidized versions that require two-year service agreements.
Apple competitors' iPhone-sized efforts failing as mini Android devices see low demand
Apple's 4-inch iPhones are the hottest selling smartphones on the market, but competitors like HTC and Samsung are having trouble getting consumers to buy into their own similarly sized devices.Devices like the HTC One and Samsung's Galaxy S4 sport displays larger than those of their predecessors, a result of some consumers' preference for larger screens. However, HTC and Samsung have also released the One Mini and Galaxy S4 mini, smaller-screened "flagship" handsets with less powerful specs, meant to compete with Apple's iPhone for buyers that want smaller devices. Those "mini flagships," though, have seen low sales, according to DigiTimes.
Citing industry sources, DigiTimes claims that the S4 mini has seen lackluster sales. This is due in part to the middling specs of the smaller-screened device, which has to compete with an array of other mid-range offerings from Samsung. Consumers are not flocking to the HTC One mini either, and the manufacturer has reportedly been forced in some markets to cut nearly 20 percent off that device's sale price just two months after its introduction.
