PDA247, a long-standing premium news site for smartphone news, community, and forums has posted an interview with Creative Algorithms: “Mobile Platforms: A developer’s point of view”. Here’s an excerpt:
“Right now … there are so many platforms from which to choose, each with its idiosyncrasies. Blackberry requires the code in Java, and Blackberry World is not included on every device, so the volumes aren’t leveraged as well as on iPhone. Android doesn’t have enough devices or volume, and the Android Market is also difficult to use and not very obvious to users on the current devices. We can reuse our C++ code, but the UI is Java-based. The Palm Pre is also a low volume option and it requires learning Javascript. Symbian is an upfront cost-prohibitive environment for developers, so it’s risky to small devs. Windows Mobile needs an update or it may go the way of PalmOS. WinMob will be a platform to keep an eye on–they have volume and a new store coming on-device, but they aren’t there yet.”
