As we begin 2013, and to nobody's surprise, there are two dominant smart phone operating systems, Android and iOS.
Recent data in Business Insider states that as of Q3 2012 Android and iOS account for over 70% of the market share, with Android accounting for about 75% of that share. In Q4 2012 alone BGR states that worldwide iOS and Android phones made up over 90% of the smartphone shipments.
But after digging a little deeper it becomes apparent that change is on the horizon for 2013.
Most of us are familiar with Windows 8 mobile handsets and Blackberry's recently announced Blackberry 10 handsets -- but lesser known are the 6 or so additional OSs that are in the works, including FirefoxOS, Jolla, Tizen and Ubuntu.
Though these oncoming options are good news for innovation and competition, I suspect our lives as mobile developers will be getting a bit more challenging.
When it comes to technological solutions, you want a firm that has a proven track record of excellence. As one of the first software and hardware consulting firms in the Northeastern United States, Advanced Decisions is a leader in the industry. Our strength is not only in the experience that we bring, but also in our approach to developing solutions.
