Android App Development Gets Ready to Explode Second Half of 2010

The need for Android app developers is increasing as more apps become available in the Android market and as businesses request apps for Android devices.

August 12, 2010 – As the demand for Android apps continues to increase, Android app development companies are working to meet the needs of each business with professional developers on hand. Any business can use the Web to access pre-screened developers and companies that can accommodate their requests, from sites such as AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com.

Competition is fierce as Android app development is expected to grow even more during the second half of 2010. The number of Android apps stood at 83,000 by the end of July 2010, although there were claims that it could be as high as 100,000. The numbers were not confirmed by Google, which hosts many applications for the Android platform, including those for its mapping and email services.

Mark Stetler of AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com said, “The market for Android apps is going through explosive growth. According to Google, 200,000 Android devices are being activated every day. That’s double the number of Android devices that were being activated each day just two months ago.”

“At this rate,” Stetler added, “Android will soon top Blackberry as the most used smartphone platform.  Of course, all those Android users are going to want apps, so we expect the number of requests to AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com for app development quotes to follow Android’s growth.”

Evidence for this explosive growth is seen by the fact that there were only 20,000 apps just over six months ago. There were over 18,000 new apps and games for Android released in July 2010, compared to just over 1,600 in July of 2009, according to statistics at AndroLib. With over a billion estimated downloads so far, the demand for the most experienced Android app developer is high and will likely become more competitive.

The site also screens each developer, so professional service can be expected every time. The process begins simply by filling out a quote form on the website. The company calls to confirm the request and then routes it to 3 developers, who contact the prospective customer to discuss the project and provide a price quote. Customers are then free to choose which company they want to develop their app.

When hiring an Android app developer, AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com suggests that companies define their requirements, so developers bidding on the project all know what is expected. It is also important to have all the relevant information ready to discuss once a website form is filled out with telephone and email information. The exact price for the finished project should be decided upon before it starts, along with a decision on how payment will be arranged.
