Multimedia Research Consultancy pegs iPhone as developers favourite
A new industry survey made up of 147 established executives from within the mobile industry has highlighted the iPhone as the developers platform of choice, with 71 per cent voting for Apples operating system.
"We have long observed that the mobile games industry has not been short on individuals prepared to give their views on the wide range of issues challenging this space, either online, in print or at conferences," says Vic Whiting, managing director of The Multimedia Research Consultancy, which undertook the survey.
The findings were supported by 136 different companies within the mobile industry, which went on to indicate that Googles Android system would make substantial advances in the next few years, though Apple would also strengthen its position within that time frame.
"The Mobile Games Industry Experts Panel is now able to give these opinions statistical solidity and reliability by measuring the industry sentiment of a large number of experts," Whiting concludes.
