Windows Phone - market share projection?
-
Guys, what do you think? Any faith on Microsoft ability to bite a chunk on Smart Phone market share? Considering placing a product on Android by way of Xamarian (but of course I suspect writing apps in C# on Windows Phone easier! Windows Phone has much lower market share however) http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS23523812[^] http://www.technobuffalo.com/mobile-devices/phones/windows-phone-market-share-to-surpass-ios-by-2016-idc-says/[^]

Maps were working just fine on the iOS6, before Chuck Norris tried the multitouch to explore planet earth. :-D

Commentators say that it will eventually be No. 2. God knows the reasoning behind that.:confused: I do have a Windows Phone and I like it but I'd be mightily surprised if it gets to that position. I do think it will get enough share to be viable though. Not sure what that figure is? 20%?

IDC has always been a pro-Microsoft, so I would take those articles with a grain of salt. To answer your question about building apps on Android and IOS using C#. Can I ask this simple question, why? Programming languages are easy to learn, once you know one language you should know how to code in other languages that have the same programming paradigms. Once you know where the documentation is and how to read it, you should be able to code in that language. C# has strongly been influenced by Java and C++ so you should know how to read Java anyway. the only issue is finding the documentation, and Google should help you with that ;). This is the same for Objective C as well. You should be writing your applications so that your presentation logic is separated from your business logic, so translation becomes fairly easy. Alternatively failing proper code structure, read this[^] or this [^]

dude, i started my coding career from Win32/MFC to Java to .NET moved from ASP.NET to WPF back to Winform done all socket/WCF shit you telling me "Programming languages are easy to learn"? "Separate business logic from presentation logic"? Do i look like a retard to you?!

Well the fact that you don't want to use the tools made for that platform, says a lot. I use what ever language that does the job, whether it be .NET, Java, PHP, XSLT, JavaScript, Shell Scripting, AWK, ActionScript or any other language. USE THE TOOLS THAT THE PLATFORM PROVIDES AND DON'T EXPECT TOOLS WRITTEN FOR OTHER PLATFORMS TO WORK WELL!!!!!!!!! That is all I am suggesting.
