Developers can see the device and app version on each comment on Android Market

Jan 25, 2012 by Inteist

Just noticed a nice update on developer facing Android Market panel. Now the developer can see the device user and the app version on each comment on Android Market. Which is a very nice addition to quite barren otherwise control panel. This will help to pinpoint problems more easily for the developers.

Another things that I would personally (and probably many of other Android developer as well) like to see are:

• Andriod OS version

• Possibility to answer to the comment – let the developer answer and send the answer to the user’s email automatically

something like this should work:

Then once you download the Xcode from the App Store, it is not installed yet. You need to go to the same place /Application/Install Xcode.app and run the installer.

BlackBerry OS distribution January 2012

Last year I’ve put some stats for BB OS distribution here: BlackBerry OS distribution March/April 2011

Beginning 2012 I was wondering what is the OS distribution now with the BB OS 7.0 devices in the wild and especially since I wanted to do updates only for the devices running BB OS 5.0 and up.

So the distribution looks like this:

Making devices that run OS below 5.0 to be about 5-6% of all the devices. Of course this data is based on the users who use this specific app, but I am almost positive that this is pretty close to the generalized numbers.

The numbers look like this:

iOS vs. Android vs. BlackBerry vs. Windows Phones

Here’s the chart of smartphones market share according to market research firm NPD

Quite interesting trend can be seen by the end of the year with huge spike in iOS sales. This of course can be attributed to the iPhone 4S and the holiday season. Apple products are still considered luxury and make great gifts as opposed to say Android which is considered more of a necessity.
