 SANTA CRUZ, CA, July 24, 2007 – More wireless developers worldwide plan to support
Nokia platforms than any other brand, according to Evans Data’s new Wireless Development
Survey to be released to subscribers this week.
Nokia’s established European presence dominates that market and it has now also
emerged as the leading target for developers in the Asia-Pacific region. Motorola
is the most supported brand in North America.
“Nokia has been diligent in using market information to focus on developers,
and has put together a world-class developer program with its Forum Nokia organization,”
said John Andrews, President and CEO of Evans Data. “This has been crucial in
solidifying their developer base in Europe and successfully developing markets
in Asia. These results show that their efforts are paying off.”
“We are pleased that these latest findings from Evans Data have validated Nokia’s
commitment to creating exciting business opportunities for developers worldwide
and demonstrate our success in providing assets developers need to create innovative
applications and services and make them widely available through multiple channels,”
stated Lee Epting, Vice President, Forum Nokia.
Other findings in this comprehensive survey of almost 400 developers worldwide
include:
Sixty-four percent of wireless developers worldwide are creating some open source
applications. Across all regions 55% are writing OSS apps, with 71% in North America;
Half of developers worldwide use location based information. This is true in
all regions except Latin America, where only a third of developers use location
based information; and,
The application runtime environment is the dominant factor in target platform
selection. This was selected by more than twice as many developers as the next
most important factor - operating system.
