According to the latest report the most popular version of Android is new Jelly Bean. It overtook Gingerbread which now stands for about 34% of Android devices while Jelly Bean stands for 38%.

This news for developers means that it is time to switch from Android 2.x to Android 4.x. Maintaining 2.x mobile applications cost more because of little functionality and the age of the Gingerbread.

Still we are waiting for the version 4.3 and for the completely new version 5.0 of Android which hopefully will give more opportunities for Android developers and will simplify Android Development.

Hi! My name is Alexander Ivanov and I’m going to write about mobile applications development.

Mobile is a big trend and it is important to leverage it. The number of mobile devices is already higher than the number of personal computers. It means that smartphones represent even a larger market than the market of personal computers.

I’m a professional mobile developer and I will try to share my experience in this field. The process of creation a successful mobile application require significant effort. It is not only the programming of an app itself, but also app promotion and app monetization. Without all those parts, the app would hardly become either popular or successful.
