 Nowadays, everyone is talking about tablets, slates and smartphones. In plain terms, the era of mobile computing has started and many experts claim that these devices will take up a preeminent role in the information technology sector in the next few years.
Therefore, software developers must seize the opportunity and make the most of the chances which are offered.
The main difficulty is caused by market fragmentation. Developing applications for Windows used to ensure good market penetration, but on what devices can be recommended now?
Looking at this year's figures, Apple devices are clearly leading the market in Italy. However, Android-based devices are also gaining ground rapidly and the Windows Phone is starting to catch on now. RIM (Blackberry) and Nokia smartphones are also expected to come soon as these companies are not willing to give up such a promising marketing opportunity.
The problem is that each device possesses its own framework and development tools. Designing a native application which can work properly everywhere entails rewriting it five times thus boosting its production costs. Plus, PCs are still one of the favorite devices for using applications, which adds up to the number of existing platforms.
To resolve these difficulties Pro Gamma experts have come up with a new version of Instant Developer which can design Rich Internet Applications for fixed as well as for the most popular mobile devices. We are focusing on iPhone, iPad and Android devices, but compatibility with Windows Phones is already scheduled for the next In.de version and so is compatibility with further devices which may become available soon.
