Smartphones have revolutionized
the use of technology in daily life. It is quite safe to mention that mobile
platforms have advanced enough to assist everyone in every activity. There is
just no limit to the extent to which smartphones can be used in the present
age. Incredibly, such advancement has not exhausted the scope for further
growth. Smartphones are continuously evolving with continuous improvement in
hardware, operating system and applications. The all-round advancement in the
mobile phone industry not only helps in deeper integration of technology in
daily life but also provides more and more streamlined solutions for users.
As it is apparent, the
use of smartphones is not limited to only important and productive needs such as
education, work management, time management, etc. There are seemingly infinite
numbers of applications for sheer entertainment, fun and madness. Mobile game
development deserves mention in this context. In fact, no other niche of application
development has exploded as greatly as mobile game development has. Every decently
large company that is involved in mobile application development has a team of mobile game developers to exploit the ever-expanding
market. Opportunity is vast and prospective of growth seems long-termed too.
Nearly every mobile
phone manufacturer has caught up with the trend of smartphone production. Indeed,
the smartphone market is dominated by Samsung and Apple with 32% and 15% market-share
respectively. However, even small mobile phone companies that are less known
have entered the business at top gear and successfully slice out respectable market-share
percentage of their giant counterparts. Software development firms that create operating
systems for mobile devices have obviously played equally significant role in
making technology man’s best friend. Google leads in the market of mobile OS and
is followed by Apple. However, Microsoft is steadily catching up with Windows
Phone.
Apple is clearly a
dominant name in both hardware and software production. In fact, its dual
nature has helped it earn relatively greater profit than its competitors.
Despite being seconded by another company in both smartphone manufacturing and mobile
OS development, iPhone and iPad game
development is the most fruitful domain for developers and development
companies. Surveys reveal that iPad users download most numbers of games than users
of other devices. One reason behind this is that guidelines posed by Apple for
application development are highly user-centric and user-oriented. Thus, where
there is greater scope for sales is likely to be more profitable market.
iPad and iPhone game developers dominate the mobile
game development industry. The good news about mobile game development, whether
it is for iOS, Android or other platforms, is that educative games are also available
in great numbers. This is one domain where no other platform matches iOS. There
is more number of sensible and educative games on iOS than any other OS. It is
changing the business perception of game development industry. Now, developers appreciate
the need of games that can be played to improve attention, quantitative aptitude
and other intellectual and sensorial ability.
