An Android app developer for hire may just strike it rich by developing the next best app – application – for a smart phone. The latest incarnation of smart phone is Verizon Wireless network and Motorola’s Droid touted in their media blitz as not merely a ‘robot’ phone, but a phone that will ‘do something’ for it’s user.

According to the Yankee Group, a research firm, consumers will spend more than $4.2 billion on apps in the year 2013, this is up from $343 million so far this year as smart phones become ubiquitous and app prices rise with inflation.

The research firm also says that smart phone users download approximately 20 apps per year and that smart phone app development is a bigger market than most people think it might be.

The novelty of  game apps may wear off, however something that would make a smart phone users life easier would be used over and over again and stand the test of time, making the Android apps developer and the fortune he or she seeks.

Android developers for hire would be creating and developing apps specifically for the new Droid smart phone from collaborations between Verizon Wireless and Motorola.  This new brand of smart phone contains Android software which is run by Google and can offer users so much more for less money than the Apple iPhone or the Blackberry.

Roughly half the magazines and newspaper publications are saying that smart phones will become vital distribution channels in the next three years, this according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations Reports.  Only 42 percent of the same people surveyed are as upbeat about e-book readers.

The Android Market, sometimes known as the Droid Store, has just over 10,000 apps which are one tenth the number available at their competition, the Apple iPhone App Store, that stated in October they had reached 100,000 apps. But what is important is that the smart phone customers can get what they want.  With the Android, if you can’t get what you want, chances are you’ll get what you need. Their app store is stocked far better than Blackberry, Windows Mobile or the Palm Pre equivalents.
