BlackBerry, Google Android and the iPhone all offer different pros and cons to those developing applications to integrate with hosted VoIP PBX systems. So how do they all match up when compared to each other?
Hosted VoIP PBX App Development for BlackBerry
BlackBerry has done a good job picking and choosing which apps to promote. Its store is much smaller than Apples and this can be attractive to developers. The only major downside to developing for BlackBerry is enabling the hosted VoIP PBX app for the wide range of BlackBerry devices. The devices are all different and making an app work across all of them can be a challenge.
Hosted VoIP PBX App Development for Google Android
Google Android is brand new so we haven’t seen many applications created for it yet. But what is interesting is that their platform is open source, meaning any developer can access its source code and create apps without getting a license from Google. Also, it’s easy for developers to sell their hosted VoIP app to Android users, as Google does not have an application process. Google allows all apps onto the store and only removes inappropriate apps.
Hosted VoIP PBX App Development for Apple iPhone
Developers have produced more than 100,000 apps for Apple’s iPhone. This makes the store hypercompetitive, causing it to be more difficult for developers to sell their app to consumers. In addition, Apple has been reluctant to approve certain applications and has been known to withhold reasoning. While this is true, the application store for the Apple iPhone is clearly winning the battle for application sales.
