Fragmentation is the main problem of Android, according to developers

As we stated when we talk about five things we did not like Android , one of the biggest problems facing the platform was fragmentation. Over time it looked like it had been declining (in part by the efforts he has been doing Google for it) but according to published Appcelerator in its latest report it appears that fragmentation is still happy to solve the problem of highest priority facing platform.

And not me (well, yes, but not the case), not only do not tell their users, they say the most important and most entitled to comment on a matter so precisely because they are directly affected the developers. As shown in the picture, the main drawback that they see Android is fragmentation, and also by far, bringing the positive opinion of 63% compared with only 30 believed that the second problem is the shallow draft so far I insist, so far, are taking the tablets Androids consumers.

It's funny, because it is also specific in what is seen as fragmentation, which is the area of ​​greatest concern. And there is the division between programming languages, including tablets vs smartphones, is precisely the fragmentation level of hardware and software. The truth is, no wonder, now there is such a variety of phones with the operating system of the small robot on the market green design an application with a user experience and performance to meet unified and not all of them but at least the great majority, must be a nightmare. Android's future is very promising, nobody should doubt, but one that is supposedly one of its star features, be open and available to any manufacturer, may end up being a double-edged sword.

Meanwhile, everything is disenchanted Reef developers and concerned about the problems and the abundance of Android devices hit the jump, how not to IOS . This latter in particular also seems a shame, because platforms such as Windows Phone 7, Blackberry and Symbian OS are left with high levels of interest from developers absolutely secondary. Gradually almost all have come to realize that profits and opportunities are two alternatives, or IOS or Android and no one believes either that something is changing in the near future.

Fragmentation is too much variety to satisfy all tastes, fragmentation is too many devices and too many different user experiences to be able to create a user experience that fits all, fragmentation is not much difference between how users perceive your application, fragmentation is neither more nor less, this small inconvenience does after all the developers are finished moving to closed platforms, more limited but more comfortable. Or take some Android makers and manufacturers to find a solution to all this or I'm sure you can become an Achilles heel for the system in the near future.
