Apple
may avoid paying the charging of premium for its devices in the
developed countries, however, the emerging markets doesn’t allow sort of
thing to run away. In those markets, people are pretty probably to
flock to many kinds of low-cost Android smartphones hitting the markets,
which are giving Google a big promotion in expanding its potential
markets such as China and India.
As a matter of fact, Android’s edge in emerging markets has gotten so
strong that one software platform executive thinks it will become an
obvious force for years to come.
“Android will gain more than seventy five percent of smartphone
shares in emerging markets,” Joonas Hjelt, the CEO of Finnish technology
startup Blaast, said this week, hjelt is putting his money where his
mouth is: Reuters says that Blaast has “opened an Android application
store hoping to tap into booming demand for affordable smartphones in
Indonesia and other emerging markets.”
To achieve this, the company “has built a platform to distribute apps
to mid-range cellphones, enabling carriers to sell more data packages
bundled with free access to applications.” If Blaast’s big bet on
Android in emerging markets is correct, then it will mean that Google
has really fulfilled its goal to bring the mobile web to all corners of
the world (while also hooking users everywhere into its ad
revenue-generating services, of course).
