Do Apps Create
Platform Lock-in?
If you've bought $200 worth of
applications for your
smartphone, you're much less
likely to switch to a different
model in the future.

In short, high spending on
smartphone apps ensures long-
term platform loyalty.

Cheaper iPhone Will Be a Big Deal
(I think. Remember I don’t know either!)

The analyst says Cook “appeared to reafﬁrm
the notion that Apple is likely to develop lower
priced offerings” to expand the market for the
iPhone. Cook said the company is planning
“clever things” to address the prepaid market,
and that Apple did not want its products to be
“just for the rich,” and that the company is “not
ceding any market.”

Something we
can all agree on
Mobile Testing
SUCKS!

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/zachklein/54389823/

Even Most Successful Developers Face
the Challenge of Testing on Enough Devices
From the beginning, we have wanted to make Angry
Birds available for every feasible Android device... We
tested the game extensively on a large number of
devices, and gathered all the feedback we received
from our beta testing to address every possible issue.

So far, we have hesitated to create multiple versions
of Angry Birds for the Android platform. But judging
by the feedback we have received, we feel that by
providing a lightweight solution, we are doing a favour
for our fans.

impossible to test your designs on every mobile phone out there. Within the mobile phone
landscape, there are at least ten operating systems (OSs) and fifteen browsers that require
consideration. Mobile devices are expensive, and not every web developer can afford to buy
five to ten of them. Testing “on all mobile phones” is impossible for most web developers.

In this article, I’ll give you an overview of the mobile web market, as well as phone platforms
and their browsers, so that you can decide which mobile devices to test on. Then, we’ll look at
how to set up a mobile test bed. Stay in better touch with

“Testing on as many devices as possible is a great
idea in theory, but in practice it is untenable. Even if we
buy a few devices to try to cover more ground, they will be
outdated in just a few months or a year at most. So are we
supposed to buy multiple devices per year?”
