Catch the developer

Well, we have what we all wanted: a new rival for the war in tablets. We all thought that after the purchase of Palm by HP only a matter of time that the computer giant slightly adapted WebOS operating system to fit it into a tablet with dignity, because the base was good. And so it proved. As with mobile phones, the variety of operating systems in the world of tablets confuses the consumer.

By what I decide? What do I bet? On personal computers almost decision is limited to two: Mac or Windows. With tablets and somehow smartphones, and there are at least four candidates (WebOS, Ios, Android and BlackBerry Tablet OS), with a fifth ready for the party, either 7 or Windows Phone Windows itself 7.

So what do I do? And that's the example of the concern, a priori, two weaker opponents and curious, very interesting show operating systems. I speak specifically of WebOS and Blackberry, who have the arduous task of wooing developers to get noticed in their platforms. From within and are working hard to have a great team, but the developer freelance is that you have to catch soon.

The pace of consumer electronics, the train passes only once and must be very agile to climb up so fast. The other two rivals today, and Android iOS have good weapons lists. On the part of Apple, have amply demonstrated the creators of applications and services that store your system works perfectly and is a business (with more nightmares for you to approve the application that dreams of grandeur) that works.

Furthermore, it is, the Mac user is more accustomed to paying for these applications, though you use just once or none. But the abundance consumer calls a stranger either digital or Diogenes syndrome because they have more faith that between the amount found that application to improve your experience with your tablet, it is important to have it big in the field of application stores.

On the part of Android, they have mass, muscle, with the certainty of having a behind Google and its diversity will make the number of users is the largest and therefore could be attractive to developers. What remains for the other competitors? How do you convince a developer to pass him and leave more money that can give more market or do you have? Difficult, very difficult to do.

And much more their solutions are presented and are forgotten until a few months.
