Flurry analytics for
mobile devices, today reported an unprecedented 94% increase in
application project starts by Android developers between September and
October projected totals within its system.
Beyond its Android-focused
partnerships with T-Mobile and Motorola, Flurry attributes increased
Android developer focus in its system to the upcoming November launch
of Droid by Verizon Wireless.
The Droid is expected to land at Verizon November 6 and it has many high end features.
"Flurry market data shows that Android continues to gain interest
from application developers, and that iPhone is no longer the only game
in town," said Simon Khalaf, Flurry president and chief officer.
"Developers who used to develop only for iPhone are now adding Android applications to their line up in record numbers."
Flurry Analytics collects data from over two thirds of all
Android-powered devices. Since launching Android support in January
2009, over 500 developers have embedded Flurry Analytics across more
than 1,500 applications, tracking over a combined 100 million end user
sessions to date. Of the estimated 3 million Android handsets deployed,
over 2.1 million include applications integrated with Flurry Analytics
.
Significant mobile industry investment in Google Android is expected
over the next several years. According to research released earlier
this month by Kevin Dulaney, Gartner Research, OEM's such as Samsung,
Motorola, HTC, Dell and others are forecasted to ship more than 75
million handsets in 2012, overtaking iPhone. Additionally, operators
including Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint have announced that they will
carry Android handsets.
