Each company is expected to announce new products, updates and other news regarding their various platforms. As competition between Android and iOS continues to heat up, analytics firm Flurry has found that Apple continues to garner more support from developers, despite Android’s greater market share. For every 10 apps that... full story ![]()

Android‘s problem with app piracy remains a key issue for developers, anecdotal figures suggest, with rates of stolen Android software outnumbering their iOS counterparts almost 14:1.

Google‘s I/O conference keynote was, in many ways, the opposite of what we expected. Google did not announce any new hardware - no new Nexus 4 phone, upgraded Nexus 7 tablet or new Chromebook - nor did the company reveal a new version of Android.

Popular as Apple’s iOS mobile platform is, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. There’s also Google’s Android-a widely used mobile OS in its own right. Last week, Google held its I/O developers conference in San Francisco.

Analyst firm IDC released its report for the first quarter of 2013, which chronicles big rises and great falls. There's nothing new at the top - Android and iOS account for 92.3% of smartphone shipments - but the fight for third position is heating up. Android is still in the lead (in fact, it's widening its lead) and grabbed 75% of the sales. Samsung is by far the biggest...

Apple’s 2013 Worldwide Developers Conference keynote was packed with announcements of serious import to developers in Apple’s ecosystem-chief among them, the debuts of the wholly-redesigned iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks.
