Themobile landscape today is the battleground for two giants and two underdogs,each fighting the battle with a different strategy. The endgame is clear –control of the largest component of the market share. In case you have notguessed, we are talking about Apple and Google, and Microsoft and Blackberryrespectively. While Apple and Google rule the market today, with Microsoftcoming in strong and Blackberry trying to make a comeback, anything couldhappen. We have seen too many changes in the power equation in the last half -decade. Blackberry fell from its controlling position in the smartphone arenato see Apple rise to power. The advent and subsequent popularity of Android sawGoogle gain a stronghold in the market, and now we have MS and BB creeping upagain. Thereis one critical factor that decides the success or failure of a mobileoperating platform- the application ecosystem. Mobile apps are the currency ofthe carnival that is mobility, and the one with the big bills has the biggestleverage. After all, without the apps to make it the do - it - all that itclaims to be, your smartphone is just a very expensive feature phone.  This is why the mobile developers carrysignificant weight in the mobile arena, with all the platform owners trying towoo them. It is actually a catch 22 situation. Mobile developers want to workwith either the most popular platform, or the one that gets them the mostmoney. However, the popularity of a platform depends on the applicationecosystem it brings with it, which is in turn dependent on the developercommunity. Letus look at the four competitors objectively, to see what each has to offer tothe coders. 1. Apple iOS  Pros - A huge, loyal fanfollowing of iOS means a large customer base. The app store is full of apps; nowonder the iPhone is the most popular phone on the planet. Also, the Appleenthusiasts are more willing to open their pockets to quality products.Therefore, the opportunity for making money is higher. Further, standardizedversions, fewer device models and the SDKs and APIs offered by Apple are greatsupport for the coders, who have been known to create their magic with thesame. That’s why most popular products land come to iOS first. Cons - Extremely highquality standards and checks can be detrimental to the newbie devs. Thefinancial model gives only 70 % of the earnings to the coders. 2. Google Android  Pros - largest marketshare, relaxed quality standards, lower barrier to entry, and an open sourcecode draw the peddlers of bits and bytes to the green humanoid robot like mothsto flame. Also, the monetization models are open for creative designs. Cons - The biggestchallenge faced by dev and test teams for Android is the device fragmentationand the non-uniformity of the upgrades. There are just too many permutations toaddress them all. Another negative is that the development tools available arenot as great as with iOS. 3. Windows mobile Pros - single platformfor phones, tablets, and desktops, and programming interface similar to webdevelopment. Cons - cost ofdevelopment is higher as the tools are expensive, and the volumes are stilllagging. 4. Blackberry 10 Pros – The old faithfulhave not lost hope, and the Blackberry crowd can rapidly grow back. BB has alsobeen offering some great rewards to the community to encourage coder traction.The portability of android apps using a simulator and otherwise also makes lifeeasier. Cons – Verypoor app discoverability, older version apps incompatible with BB10.  Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;mso-para-margin:0in;mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;}
