Abstract

This master’s project addresses the study of the recently launched Google Android platform, and its online application marketplace, called the “Android Market.” The project examines the paths to success for third-party developers building applications for Android by comparing them with application development for the Apple iPhone. In addition, the project also includes a study of the Android business ecosystem. Research on related topics shows that this mobile ecosystem benefits third-party developers and those application vendors play a critical role in contributing to the success of Android.
