Android Application Development and iPad Application Development Showdown

With launch of new iPad, Apple has strengthened its position in tablet market in which it still has about 70% of market share. With high resolution screen, higher camera strength and faster processor, it is now clear that this one is going to sell more and more and more. With directly comparing the features and proving it is far better than Samsung Galaxy tab, Apple has made a clear and audible war cry. So, we think Samsung guys are going to come-up with something very soon and we are going to see the same from Sony. We at Morpheous think the final showdown is going to be on the software side and not on the hardware side. It’s the Apps. What results iPad Application Development and Android Application Development is going to produce is what will make difference in the selling of the devices.

So far what we see iPad has far better chances of outselling any currently available tablets in the world just like last year and even may be outselling the PCs also. There are though quite of the increase in number of apps in the Google Market and looks it is becoming more live then was before. So as Android App Development is producing some great apps and now Android users do not have to wait for months before the same which are available on iPhone and iPad become available for Android also. iPad App Development is what we are looking forward to will show some change, due to more power and ultra-resolution, games and apps are going to rock on 9.7” screen. We have to see how Sony and Samsung are going to answer resolution of new iPad. They should be afraid and pray Apple doesn’t get into TV production business.

People are aware of the apps and games available at the App Store and also that about 40% of them are not available on Google Market, but there is another factor of Android devices sell then just increase of Android Apps Development and launch, and that is cost of Android based devices. They are affordable and yes they come in choices unlike Apple devices with one type of look and feel for all hardware. That is what keeping Android alive and even though there is sufficient amount of iPad Apps Development, it hasn’t affected the selling of Android devices and is increasing.

Future is in the hands of Company which now offers more than a vibrant screen and good processor, or just power of iPad Application Development or Android Application Development, may be more innovative things, like what Sony did with back controls in PSP Vita.

iPad Application Development and Android Application Development Tablet Wars

By now mostly all of you know about the tablets and their capabilities. And there are true iPad fans out there who will never let go their master piece no matter what Google come up with. But frankly speaking things are changing now. iPad Application Development has made possible to have about 140000 apps on the store for iPad and thus being on the top as most apps build for any tablet, but Android Application Development is picking up the pace and is getting more and more apps made for its tablets, and so as there is an increase of Google Honeycomb Tablet OS based hardware.

With crystal clear display Sony has recently launched Tablet based on Google Honeycomb 3.2 and so as Lenovo. Samsung is already getting ready into tablet market, having some good amount of sales for Galaxy Note which comes with Android 2.3. As sales of Android based tablets and devices are increasing, so as Android Apps Development is also increasing. Companies like Morpheous has admitted in the increase of Android Application Development but also admitted that iPad App Development is there on more stable basis. Morpheous is well-known for its Game Development and Apps Development capabilities and when asked about the market situation, they told its stable, and we do not see much effect of economic problems in Euro zone impacting that much to the demand and supply in mobile game or app business.

With some good inputs from companies like Morpheous, there are mainly few things which are getting clear. One is that Android is getting some good pace and so as Android App Development, so we expect some good amount and some great quality of apps and games made available on Google Market. But Apple has a master stroke remaining, and that is with launch of new iPad device. It will be surely launched, when we do not know, but for sure it will be faster, may be more thinner, more vibrant in display and may have more power to keep it awake whole day. So, iPad Apps Development is not what you are going to see to fade out easily or quickly. There will be many apps and game which are going to launch this year, and with big names like Morpheous and others giving best to market, we will see some very exiting apps and games on the store.

Well, this is it for this article, and I will come back with more info and my thoughts on the current scenario of Mobile world, till then Chao!!

iPad Application Development for its usability and entertainment purposes by Morpheous

  
After Launch of Apple iPhone and its success, it has been seen as very good business purpose device or smartphone. People were impressed by its ever growing app store and thousands of apps for business purposes available for download. The only thing that was now remaining was to get rid of small screen size so that users can take advantage of big screen and use applications or play games more effectively and have better experience. And so as launch of such device became eminent, Apple launched iPad. The first App based smart tablet which in future will rock the world by its usability and entertainment purposes.  

With launch of iPad, iPad Application Development started. Though iPhone Application Development was there from sometime, iPad Application Development came with few challenges and unknown features to play with for iphone developers. We at Morpheous has tried it first in late 2009 and ever since we have developed about 100+ iPad applications and many are under development.  iPad Application Development is done in the same iOS SDK provided by Apple which is used in iPhone Application Development. iPad has some basic changes in the development of application as it contains larger screen than iPhone. Most common change in the iPad Application Development is split view controller, which basically split the view of applications like Email Apps, where user can see the inbox items at one side and read respective emails on the other half of the screen in the vertical or horizontal mode. Thus using total screen length of the screen and utilizing it in better way.

iPad Application Development slowly got popular as more and more devices started sell and people started demanding specific applications for iPad. Via iOS SDK, developer can make universal application which can run in iPhone and iPad both but graphically it was not sound for iPad as it has more screen resolution than iPhone. Now a day people ask for dedicated iPad Application Development, especially for the iPad Game Development.

Recently with launch of iPad2 Apple has reiterated that it is going to continue on tablet development and relative research for providing more friendly user interface and bringing in more advance devices. iPad Application Development has not only created special place among app developers but also provided very good platform to convert application and game ideas in to reality for tablets.

Prerequisites of Android Application Development and Hire Android App Developer - Part 1

I have covered most of the information on the iPhone and iPad Application Development and also how to hire developers for development of your projects. Here I am going to discuss on Android Application Development and Hire Android App Developer from a company. This article will consist of two parts, one is with the information on Android Application Development process and second one with the Hire Android App Developer and its process. I hope this would help you to decide or choose a company for the development of your projects.

Unlike iPhone or iPad, an Android Application Development is a different ball game. Google has its own way to present things and you will feel that if you are a developer and using Android SDK for the development of Android Applications or Games.  It's typical interface and coding language which is Java makes it more reachable for generic mass of developers who do not want to be more specific and want to be jack of all then just being iPhone developer.  Let's look at it in more client perspective. As part of development and partial management team I will provide you some information on what process it takes from development to delivery.

Most of you have an idea of what you need to get developed and how it should look like. Most important thing in Android Application Development or Hire Android App Developer is how clear your requirements are so when you provide it to any company it makes sure you pass on the right message of what you want and developer or management team can visualize how the application should look like. Once you provide idea or requirements make sure you sign NDA which will keep your data or any information you share confidential. Once the requirement is given most of the companies come back with time line and cost or queries, be patient and answer the queries, which will make sure that the developers get better idea of what you exactly want.

There are two types of Android Application Development methods one is on the fixed cost basis and second is Hire Android App Developer. Which one you need to choose depends on what type of requirements you got to be developed. If features of the requirement is not fixed and you think there might be many things you need to be added while the app is in development then you should go for Hire Android App Developer, which we will discuss in the next part of the article. And if the requirement is outlined perfect and there is very little scope of change then you should ask companies to provide you with the exact cost and time estimate for the project development.

Android Application Development and iPhone Apps Development Market Demand Analysis

With Launch of Android Google has made sure to give Apple some sleepless nights. Almost losing the battle with Nexus one getting hammered by critics and ultra low customer response, Google got caught unaware by bitterness of Mobile handset market, which not everything which looks good gets successful. After 2 years of change in OS and making it support about 600 types of different handsets, Google is changing the game now. Both devices have almost identical hearts, "Apps". No apps - no device selling. No good apps - less device selling. So, what Android Application Development and iPhone Apps Development market says? What is market demand of the same?

From 2007 iPhone Apps Development market is on rise, due to very high demand from the market and as more and more powerful iPhone getting introduced every 18 months or so. There was a slight fall in 2009 due to world economic crisis by what we have seen is not a big fall, requirements came steadily. Android Application Development on the other hand, did not have good reception at the first point. Blame can be given to both its poor development environment and dumb devices and also cost of the devices. But that has been solved with Google shaking hands with some of the most innovative companies, who gave the most needed success and popularity to Android OS.

Let's talk about Apps market. What we see right now is iPhone Apps Development is on rise but we do not see any pick as what we see for Android Application Development. It Android App market is getting good amount of downloads and also getting more news apps every day, then it was getting before. When we talked to one of the Android Application Development and iPhone Apps Development Company, Morpheous, they said there is indeed increase in the requirements for Android apps. iPhone Apps market on the other hand is stable. So, if we say from the overall perspective, android market is on rise and will be getting close to iPhone apps market. We are keeping close watch and will update you time to time.

So, if you really have some great ideas for iPhone Apps Development or Android Application Development, it is time for you to make it real. I hope this article will help you in getting very basic information on the market review for iPhone apps or Android applications.

A Look into iPad Application Development and iPad Game Development 2012

With launch of iPad2 Apple has double tapped on the "King of Tablets" and made enough kills that even though with low pricing and good features, Android tablets are still far behind that what has been predicted. Most of us thought that Google might compete hard on 2011, but it has not been true so far. With more and more applications and games getting available for iPad with iPad Application Development and iPad Game Development getting boosted with new SDK and iOS 5, Apple would be now hard to stop dominating the tablet market for coming time. I will try to put some insight in the iPad Application Development and iPad Game Development.

As covered in my previous articles, iPad Application Development is done using the same SDK which is used for iPhone Apps Development and game development. Mainly there are only graphical differences when you deal with iPad Applications and its development. That is main difference between iPad Apps and iPhone Apps. In iPad you get more screen area and the application you build or want someone to build for you can hold more rich graphics and also can allocate more space to data then what you show in the iPhone. Thus if you are a restaurant owner, make sure you do not only get developed iPhone App but also iPad App, so that you can take advantage of its vibrant display and space. That is the main reason now people who has their iPhone Games developed are leaning towards getting the same game for iPad with iPad Game Development.

iPad Game Development is in full pace with increasing demand of games in iPad. Some of the market researchers believe that iPad Games are more rich, effective and can produce extra ordinary graphics with vibrant use of colors, and that is how it is getting differentiated from iPhone Games. So, what we believe is in 2012 iPad Game Development is going to increase and so as the demand. We do not know what Apple plans for next iPad, but people do expect something new by Q3 or Q4 with new idea or may be with iPad 3 or more advance version of iPad 2 like what they did for iPhone.

If we look the market analysis of 2010 - 2011 and if anyone asks me to make the prediction then I would say iPad Apps and games market is going to go up and will make more sales then 2011. I hope this year more your ideas get converted to reality, with iPad Application Development and iPad Game Development.

Market of iPad Apps and Games WRT iPad Application Development and iPad Game Development - Part 1

We have been covering this topic from quite some time now and it has been 2 years since the first iPad has launched. Lets me put lighter on the current market situation about the iPad Application Development and iPad Game Development with number if apps and games available in the market. There is always one question that has been moving along after the first iPad has been launched and that is why the app or game market is not increasing with such speed compared to iPhone apps or game market? What is that which is blocking the development or converting ideas for apps or games from getting into App Store?

Since the launch of iPad, iPad App Development and iPad Game Development has been the fields satisfying the hunger of the demand for creating apps and games for the big screen. When Apple launched iPad we all thought it is going to take over the market and that more apps will be available of iPad then of iPhone in short time. Well, but that didn't happen and somehow we still see low number of apps or games made for iPad then compare to iPhone. We know the same thing happened to honeycomb OS and Android Tablets but again, the question is why? Why so low amount of apps or games, when the same SDK and developers are used for iPhone and create million apps?

May be the reason is in the number of units sold, which is of course lower then of iPhone, but does that has to anything with the conversion of the idea to reality for iPad? It offers big screen and good graphics. I think the problem is in the mobility of the device. I have used it for quite some time now, and trust me it is not that good carrying it everywhere along with you. Picking up calls sometimes feels that it's been little bit more showoff then needed to get your iPad everywhere just so that you do not miss your call, I prefer something which fits to my pocket more then to having a note everywhere with me. May be this is what some people might be feeling and stopping themselves to buy one and thus restricting iPad Apps Development and iPad Game Development, due to less sales because of less devices.

How Can the Potential of iPad Application Development Be Leveraged for Business Success?

Apple is always known for upping the ante when it comes to its products. So, now we have the iPad that like all other Apple products, this one is also becoming very popular.

iPad Game Development and iPhone Game Development: Requirement Description Guide for Clients - Part 1

I have talked about this topic before, but it was in brief. This time I will provide more details about how to describe the requirement and how to shortlist the things that you will need to ask to the developers for deciding on the team and also to convert your game idea into reality, via iPad Game Development or iPhone Game Development. If you are new, I work in a well known Game Development company Morpheous and I share my experience with development and also with clients over here, so my experience can be useful to you when you make any development decisions and invest into one.

When you have an idea, you make sure you write it down, this will enable you to go through the raw idea in future if you lose your way in between, as especially when it is about objective of the game and story line. Once you write down your initial thoughts, you can then search some existing games and see if any of them matches what you want to get developed or if not see if it partially matches, this will provide you information on how they have executed the idea and also how the story line plays out. This will also give you an idea of overall representation of the game. iPad Game Development and iPhone Game Development can be an easy venture if you are quite clear of what you want and also have things in written format. Ensuring your objective and features of the game pass to developer on right note is very important, this will make sure that the journey of development will be smooth and also game will be delivered exactly as you want it to be.

To convert your idea into reality, describing idea will not be only thing that will be important but also what you want as graphics in the game is also as much important as the idea itself. iPad Game Development and iPhone Game Development heavily depend on the graphics and processing of the device. You need to make sure which type of graphics your game will consist of, 2D/3D? And also what type, like would it be like cartoons or are we talking about some serious gaming graphics? This is very important as making changes during the development or designing phase can cost you some money.

I will cover more information in my next article; I hope this initial info will be enough for you to understand the overall structure of requirement presentation for iPhone Game Development and iPad Game Development.
