How will the change in smartphone usage affect mobile development

Why users accept Smart phones: Before a decade, we hardly heard of smart phone; particularly in developing countries like India, China, Indonesia etc. Within a very less span of time, smart phones have shown their potential in the industry. Now almost every day there is something happening in the smart phone industry. There are some new and advanced devices getting launched, some new operating systems are introduced or some updates are being spread in the industry every day. The industry is changing so rapidly that no one can even imagine how it will look like after a decade!! Moreover the smart phone users love the way they are projected into the technology and hence this is creating a huge buzz in the industry. The question comes whether it is a good sign or not? How it will impact the industry especially over the mobile developers? Let us find it out.

mobile development
Smart phones can change the traditional mobile development: Traditionally, mobile developers were busy with mobile game development and little app development like chatting app, file management app etc. At that time, mobile were used to be living with Java. Yes! Everything was in Java and so the mobile developers used to develop their application in Java. Now the time has changed, and hence the job of mobile developers as well. They are no more limited to Java development. With the introduction of smart phone operating systems like iOS, Android and windows they are now, responsible in developing smart apps for their users. Their apps should be extremely attractive to keep the users with them for long time. Moreover, the term mobile developer has been diversified into iOS app developer, Android app developer or windows phone developer etc. Overall, we can call them mobile app developer.

Your application should be enriched with substances: Previously, there were less number of mobiles and hence less numbers of applications. Now, there are multiple platform, millions of smart phone devices and several hardware specifications. Hence it becomes really too difficult to survive in this competitive environment. To add this, every day there are thousands of new apps launching in the industry to test their fate. It is often said that every day there are some successful apps are launched into the industry along with many unsuccessful. So, to become successful, your app must be nice enough to attract your user. It must fulfil what it is intended for and it must impart better user experience as well.

The end product is Quality: In this competitive environment, you can only sustain in the market if you have the potential and only potential. The potential for quality, the potential for reliability and the potential for extreme user experience. If you have all these, then only you could success in the industry otherwise you will vanish. Anyway, though it seems as if a tough thing for a developer’s point of view; but, it is extremely beautiful if we think from the user’s point of view and industry rely on Users demand so, we should take this in a positive attitude.
