What are the key product development issues in considering the timing of starting android development?

Android commands a large market share, but is also very fragmented. One of the things you'll want to consider when developing for Android beyond 90% of your demographic using Android vs iOS, is that you'll also want to figure out what is most common versions of Android that they are using...

For example, it would be pointless and a waste of time to develop an Android app that only supports 4.3 and up if majority of your demographic are still on 2.X.

Once you have the data you need on what versions of Android are most common versions of Android being used among your user demographics, it'll help you pinpoint what version of Android to target as a "minimum required".

Next you'll want to consider if that minimum version includes the necessary features and APIs you'll need to deliver on your app as well. If not you may have to move the requirements up.

These are things you'll need to consider when developing an app for iOS as well, but much less so as the adoption rate for the latest version of the OS is much higher for iOS than it is for Android (due to a large variety of hardware / OEM restrictions with Android handsets and manufacturers).

Phil is a great coach. He helped me plan out a very important meeting that I needed help with. I really respect his advice.

Josh Isaak Source: Clarity

Phil was excellent in presenting an initial overview of my situation through "personality analysis." Within minutes, he was able to get a super accurate picture as to the type of person I am, and therefore was able to tailor his advice accordingly. I felt that the hour I spent with Phil was priceless, and plan on continuing with him as a trusted adviser. I recommend any person who considers themself "intuitive" or an "introvert" sign up for a session with Phil immediately.

Because of Phil I've been able to take my business to the next level. Phil has diligently coached me in copywriting, product development, business models, market research, and avatar creation.

Phil's a one-of-a-kind business leader and business strategist with incredible insight and he has delivered tremendous value to my business. He helped me with many aspects, particularly in understanding the emotional motivators of my market, as well as product development, marketing, and launches. He taught me step by step how to create my customer avatar, and allowed me to make my marketing message much stronger.

I've gotten great results working with Phil and I recommend that others hire Phil and experience his amazing listening skills and great patience.

I love working with Phil for a few reasons.

Mostly because he always has a few ways to solve my problems.

Asking him a brief question typically ends up in a learning experience and with me having a few more tools in the toolbox for future work.

It's rare to meet someone with his technical and programming know-how, have such a keen eye for design and the ability to execute it.

The real bonus is that his design aesthetics aren't just pretty to look at; they have relevance from a customer usability point of view, and he knows when to employe techniques that will increase the marketing value of customer facing material.

If you need help with a website, creating an app, video editing, programming, or someone to talk to about science fiction or fact, Phil is your man!

Sincerely,
Farmer
