Google targeting tablets

Google’s Android Community Support Division launched “2012 Android Developer Survey”



Judging by the questions, they are mainly interested in how comfortable it is for developers to write and sell software for the Android platform.

You can also conclude that Google is paying attention to the tablet direction (which is natural because the smartphone and tablet differ in both the nature of use and the type of users)

Topics from the questionnaire:

General issues

- what IDEs are used and how suitable are they for working with the Android platform

- what do you use for testing (emulators, real hardware, paid services) and how convenient it is for you

- how much more difficult / easier to develop for tablets

- Do you have a separate direction for tablets?

For architects

- why are you releasing a version of your Android software

- how quickly do you start supporting new versions of OS and new hardware
