Appcelerator/IDC Q2 2011 Mobile Developer Report
Appcelerator and IDC surveyed 2,760 Appcelerator Titanium developers from April 11-13 on perceptions surrounding mobile OS priorities, feature priorities, and mobile development plans in 2011. The survey reveals that developer momentum is shifting back toward Apple as fragmentation and tepid interest in current Android tablets chip away at Google’s recent gains. The report also reveals the rise of the ‘mobile cloud’, a major trend towards connected mobility that promises to partially address the issue of fragmentation and radically transform the relationship between business and customer.
