Even though the applications market is growing like crazy, it’s not always easy to make money as a developer and fragmentation in the device market means you will probably need to adapt your creations to multiple devices and platforms. And what about testing? It is one thing to simulate an environment and another to test on a live network with real devices. You also have to think about who to target and how much to charge for the application. Free may be the going rate on the internet, but that won’t pay the bills. These challenges are daunting and with so much uncertainty, there is an opportunity in having a partner to make sense of this fragmented world.
