Android

Android is a promising new platform from Google in the mobile industry. Its increasing user group allows for potential revenue through application marketing.

Even before the release of Android, baybridging has been hard at work developing for the platform. The Android is different from the iPhone in which it is a very open platform. This enables any personal or enterprise applications to be written and painlessly executed with Flash or Silverlight on the Android.

baybridging can write new Android applications for you and most of baybridging' existing Rich Internet Applications can already be used in Android.

Just like the iPhone, the Android also has a similar online application store. Your baybridging created application could be downloaded by thousands and thousands of people through the internet and be used everyday by their Android phone. Mobile marketing can also help your company rise up above the rest by using a unique medium to advertise. Your application doesn't have to pertain to your company's offering-- it could be a game with your logo heavily branded. Send us your ideas now! We also sign NDA.

Interesting fact about Android's launch:

An Amazing 24 Hours

Medialets has provided a multitude of observations and comparisons between the opening days of Apple’s iPhone App Store and the Android Market Store. They report three major similarities between users of both platforms, including:

  • They like to play games, shop, and know what music they are listening to
  • They are curious about the weather
  • They generally share the same interests as iPhone users

In the first 24 hours of the launch, 62 free applications were made available to Android users. Upon opening day of the App Store, users were privy to more than 10 times the amount of applications, both free and paid. While thus far only free applications are available for Android users, paid apps will be made available in the first quarter of 2009.

Medialets notes that 9 of the 62 initial applications had made it to the highest echelon, landing in the 10,000-50,000 download range. Roughly 206,000 to 770,000 downloads occurred within the first 24 hours of launch.
