So you want to be a mobile developer?
As a software developer, the world of technology is evolving so fast. In less than 2 years, the iPhone has completely change the mobile device industry. Before, there was no device that only has a full touchscreen, multi-touch was no where close. With the iPhone as the current leader in this "class" of device, I'm not talking about mobile phone, Android was announced shortly and then the Palm Pre.
I made a career change from developing world class consumer electronics for brands like Sony, Bose and Samsung, to now developing games for the iPhone. I consider that a huge leap from embedded systems to game development. So here's a personal advice to any developer out there who is thinking of taking that leap, which platform should I go with?
Indeed.com has a nice job keywords trending feature and I used the keywords, iphone, android and palm pre, and guess what, the answer is pretty clear.
