Android App Development Prefers 4.0 And Above But What About Apple’s Proposal Of Multiple IPhones?
Android app development companies are eying a transition at this moment, which is, a mass transition of android users
from gingerbread to ICS and Jellybean. The recent data
released by google shows significant rise of ICS and Jellybean
while the dominating market for gingerbread has shrunk in
the latest result. One of the main reasons that’s keeping
gingerbread high up in the list is its favorable performance in low

Jellybean and ICS will add more flavour to android-
Android app development experts want to bank on the new technologies in android 4.0 and above. Developers do not want to miss an opportunity to create competing application for the android ecosystem. It is a well known fact that iOS’s
overall performance still overruns android in a number of area. In this case android app development experts want to
ride high on features like NFC, powerful voice input, video
effects etc., that comes bundled with ICS and Jellybean only.
Apple’s indigenous advantage of creating its own devices helps in the growth and sustainability of its ecosystem. If android wants to rule the creme market it needs to ensure a better

Android app developers are segregating their apps-

ecosystem. In the play store itself you have number of NFC
based apps already. These apps are basically designed with customized functions. Although such apps are compatible
with gingerbread as well, they perform better with higher versions of android. Infact at Openxcell, we have made a
couple of music apps that runs exclusively on high end
android devices. The asymmetry of the devices resulting into asymmetry of OS versions in android are thus segregating the markets of apps slowly in android.
