Too many mobile development SDKs are been released by each vendor. I feel it is too much and its going nowhere and its killing the future of mobile apps. End user is going to get confused. Think of apps developer, huge learning curve and huge testing/dev effort to develop same app for different mobiles. What we want it .. mobile as the powerful device to do anything..so ultimately one should be able to develop an app which can sit on any mobile. If every vendor releases different platform, then isnt not an unhealthy sign of competition. Why dont you stick to one..like android.

There should a common consortium built and managed by all mobile platform developers and stick to common guidelines.

There are select number of platform that in the end all mobile app. development stack supports aka symbian, J2ME, WindowsME etc.

Th enumerousity only make sure that if you have a indea/business case, there there is always an sdk and stack available for the booming developer community to work on.

Middleware is critical..since it can help app. run across platform..in future open source will take care of these numerosity.

It would be good to have  common stacks for developing the mobile apps. This helps in addressing the issues in quick manner. With the current stacks,if there is an issue related to particular model,then you need to reach the specific vendor to debug that issue. We must need such common stacks developed with no dependency on OS

I agree with you all... there is no standard among handset manufacturing companies... As a company we are facing lot of issues to monetize our apps in the fragmented handset market. The main issues is compatibility 

 

i think google open mobile consortium will give the solution to developers

 

Thanks,

Karthick

I agree with Sanjay.multiple platforms allow user to have varied application with varied features........eventually a end customer treat be it an individual or an enterprise......making one engine developing solutions compatible to all handsets will not be so effective....

Competition in market will be no more or the pace of R&D will decelerate. Platform will then often be enhanced for new requirement.

But different organization doing the same put a lot of efforts in making their product better than other for performance or supported feature.

Innovation becomes fast when there is competition.

more means more options for developers...if you have an idea/business case..you have the tool that can fit in your budget/customer requirement.

Anyway there shal be interworking between symbian, windosme, android, palm, j2me...anyway open source intiatiaive (android?) are welcome
