Early may, technology giant Microsoft announced that they were releasing an API-mapping tool, that their applications on Windows phone 7 port would allow iPhone developers.
The hope is Microsoft to encourage developers who are already obliged to check Smartphone or Tablet platform, the Windows phone as a viable end point for their creations, and as another stream of revenue, but the question remains - is too late?
First-time users of technology figures often the price. Cloud computing is a good example: those that too early in the market suffered has, how the industry stuttered, of which to it constantly evaluated.
On the other side of the equation are those that are late to the party. Apple caused a huge sensation made one of the first in the touchscreen smartphone market, has followed as the waves of the company HTC, Microsoft, Samsung and Nokia.
Well, iOS the number of applications available for download on Android, and Windows environment to be rapid, while at the same time the amount, the a user is willing to pay phones rapidly decreases. What was impressive and justified $5 from Smartphone user three years ago is no longer the same interest areas and application developers are constantly with the pressure of the envelope of design commissioned. In addition, that free applications in the competition for the same market space, and no wonder, that are the gap for new additions to the world of profitable applications shrink.
Cross-platform use is what Microsoft wants cash in on the development of their API mapping tool, and the developers with a range of services at the port of apps on Windows phone 7 have deployed. In the tool itself has Microsoft is also a dedicated site where developers can go to learn more about API mapping. You have also provided an eight chapters, 90-page paper, which is constantly growing space for new information. A number of "developers stories" are also available online, the possibility gives to developers see what others have experienced in their applications to a new platform to move.
The real test will be in the number of applications, which is the jump make Microsoft software, to count their favor turning point, but it is possible that its porting capability has come too late and that the market is already saturated.
