Block potentially lucrative clientele on the basis of network technology is never really conducive to the growth of mobile applications. Android recently a new SDK (version 1.6) which has allowed the CDMA developers access to a potentially enormous market of CDMA subscribers. The new update allows Android phones to run on CDMA mobile phones rather than the traditional GSM network phones. This update is important when it is placed in the context of more manufacturers of Android phones have traditionally been pushing phones which are only compatible GSM. HTC has been the largest supplier with phones like the Magic, Hero, Touch Pro 2 and a range of variants. Although worldwide prevalent GSM networks, the penetration of GSM networks in zones developed technologically in the world has been surprisingly low. As a result, the developers have blocked the CDMA market and for quite some time.
The general importance of this update should not be underestimated. The number of clients that are still traditionally linked to CDMA Networks has left them longing for an opportunity to use the Android platform. The general perception of the market for the majority of consumers are GSM networks for the technologically advanced, while reinforcing this concept networks GSM are reliable in comparison with CDMA networks. Although companies such as T-Mobile and AT & T are changing the overall perception of the clients in relation to the growth potential of GSM networks, Verizon still leads the pack with its ' CDMA network and services offered to customers. With deep customer brand loyalty, some customers are willing to switch service providers of cell phone without an important reason to do so.
However, growth and the popularity of the iPhone and the resulting growth in the development of applications can be linked directly to the ability of the iPhone to run on GSM networks. Internationally speaking, almost all international service providers run on GSM networks. The element of attraction and inherent style along with the jailbreaking of the iPhone has meant that the iPhone has an international appeal to customers. The demand for foreign iPhones is phenomenal, with the influx of iPhones in new markets; new support industries have grown up around the hardware. The massive boom in application for the iPhone is a testament to the popularity of the iPhone. International markets have had a significant impact in the direction of the growth of the development of applications for the iPhone. GSM of at & T network is another factor that has helped the movement of iPhone app to grow. Media protocols and data transmissions improved have meant that the iPhone was widely accepted in a variety of markets and helped to fuel based on iPhone SDK application development. First advantage of iPhones has Apple and capture a significant share of the market.
However, all hope is not lost for Android phones. The Android platform reflects almost all the features that the platform of iPhone with an important advantage that is capable of handling the growing power and capabilities of the new phones in processing. Unfortunately the direct drop-down tie to GSM networks has only meant that users who are traditionally risk aversion, but remains open to new technologies are left out. A simple Google search only shows that the number of Verizon users have declared that he would be interested in buying iPhones if they were compatible with Verizon's CDMA network. The service and the features offered by Verizon's CDMA network has meant that very few customers have moved to other networks. As a result, the logical step would be the Android platform for Verizon customers. The new SDK version addresses this concern and has opened new markets for the platform Android be pushed to.
Taking into account that Verizon has a strong network of 3 G in its ' network CDMA, Android phones can to maximize your hardware and software. With a huge potential customer base who want apps to run their expensive phones of high-performance, developers will be working overtime to produce killer applications. This new market will push development of applications in a similar boost as the iPhone thanks to the number of customers on the CDMA networks in technologically developed areas. The Android platform has been able to have access to what was a closed destination market changing software requirements, a very savvy move considering the popularity of the iPhone.
Android is slowly preparing to a boom in the development of applications. With the design and manufacture of impressive mobile high-performance along with the opening of new markets, it seems that the iPhone is about finding some serious competition from the Android platform.
