Gone are the days when it was the seller's market. Now it is the buyer's market. This implies that end of the day it is the buyer who buys the product, generates revenues and help the company to survive. This principle is also applicable to the iPad application development. If the iPad application is not of any use to the iPad user there is no reason for the users to buy it.

Whom is the iPad application meant for?

The application developer needs to know the utility of the application and the market segment that is going to be catered or attended to through the iPad application. Just like there are different kinds of products and services in the market, similarly there are different market segment. Each market segment is unique because the potential to spend the money varies from segment to segment. When any iPad application is to be developed, the target market segment or target audience needs to be decided. Moreover the factors that affect the buying tendency of the people from different segments also vary. When the market segment that is going to be the prospective market of the iPad application is decided then only the ways to approach that segment can be ascertained.

What does you targeted market audience do? What is their occupation or profession? Are they software technicians or others? What age group do they belong to? Are they kids, youth or elders? Is the sale of application dependent on gender? If the application is for the females then is it for females with kids or without kids? Usually a child is loved most by its mother. Similarly a developer is going to like the iPad application that he/she has developed. The true test of the success of the iPad application is when the application is liked by the users for whom it has been designed.

Advantages to Android Game Development & Android App Development

The industry of mobile game development has introduced a very important aspect to the market - the ability to conceptualize, develop, and release video games on devices with far more success and ease than ever before. And with the Android app marketplace only requiring a one-time fee for submitting an application, the cost becomes almost negligible to put the product out for millions of customers to find. Even the submission process is drastically shorter than on most other smartphones, as the app regulation is far more lenient for the Android OS.

Another drawing point for developing games on Android devices is the programming language featured- Java. Java has long been one of the most popular programming languages for video game developers, and thus makes it extremely easy for the average programmer to pick up Android development for the first time. Compared to most other mobile platforms, which usually sport modified or newly invented languages, the learning curve is decreased to nearly nothing, so a new developer can complete a game in a fraction of the time.

Another unique aspect to Android game development is the lack of standardization in the droid phone family. As the Android OS is not licensed to a single mobile phone making company, the phones themselves can vary to an extreme degree in terms of features and hardware specifications. While one device may have a fully functioning A-GPS and HDMI video compatibility, another may have a QWERTY keyboard and no GPS at all. While this is certainly appealing to some developers, as they are likely to find a phone that will meet their hardware needs precisely, it will also restrict the potential audience, as some phones will not be able to support the more complex applications.

When the game development process has finally reached the point where it can be released to the public, the developer is presented with yet another choice- which market would the game be most visible in? Unlike the iOS, there are numerous marketplaces and app stores for Android phones, each one with it's own advantages and disadvantages. From the basic Android marketplace, built to only display the apps compatible with the phone currently being used, to the Amazon app store, which offers a different free app every day, the myriad of marketing strategies can be almost daunting, which makes it all the more useful that an application can almost always be entered into multiple marketplaces without issue. However, whether it makes sense to spread attention across several different fields is another question entirely.

The Android application development process overall truly gives the most variety on the smartphone market. From start to finish, strategies can be hand-tailored to the developer's desires, making the game as close to the original concept as currently possible. While the audience may not be as large as that of iPhone users, the Android presents itself as a strong contender, purely through its accessibility. And with the largest variety of smartphones on the current market, the possibilities for development are inexhaustible, and continued releases can only add to the capabilities the platform has to offer.
