Employment prospect of android software development (employment prospect trend of software development)

Android has a bright future in China. First, there are mature consumers. In China, the Android community is very prosperous, which has played a very good role in promoting the popularity of Android in China. Domestic manufacturers and operators have also joined the Android camp, including China Mobile, China Unicom, ZTE, Huawei Communications, Lenovo and other large enterprises. At the same time, not only mobile phones, but also domestic manufacturers have launched MID products using Android system. Well-known music club W7 with high-definition playback and intelligent system launched by Ruixinwei and Blue Devils, and original channel N5 launched on 20 10. We can foresee that Android will also be widely used in domestic intelligent Internet devices, which will further expand the application scope of Andorid system. On the other hand, due to the restrictions of domestic policies, some functions of Android (such as Androidmarket) cannot be used normally in China. A common solution is to use VPN services for access.

Gartner predicts that by the end of 20 16, 2.3 billion computers, tablets and smartphones will use Android, while the number of Windows devices will be 2.28 billion. In contrast, by the end of the year, the number of Windows devices will reach 654.38+05 billion, while the number of Android devices will be 608 million.

Android operating system was only listed in 2008, and then quickly became the dominant smartphone platform, with a market share of 2/3. At the same time, in the fast-growing tablet market, Android also ranks second. Although Android is a free software, it has promoted the growth of Google's core search business.

As more and more users turn to tablets and smart phones, global PC shipments in the third quarter fell by 8% year-on-year, the largest decline since 200 1. Although Microsoft Windows has dominated the PC market for a long time, in the smartphone market, Microsoft's share is only about 3%. With the arrival and rapid development of mobile Internet, the demand of mobile Internet developers is increasing day by day. For example, the Android market, the foreign Android market is expanding in full swing. According to the research report released by market research company IDC, it is estimated that the share of China's smartphone market in the global market will increase from 18.3% to 26.5%, while the share of the US market will decrease from 2 1.3% to 17.8%. I believe that in the near future, more users will choose Android phones or wireless terminal devices.

At present, China has the largest mobile phone user base in the world, and almost all mobile phone manufacturers in the world are recruiting Android engineers. However, more than 1.6 million Android devices are shipped every day. A year later, there may be more than 1 100 million Android devices in the world, surpassing iphone to become the flagship of the future smart phone platform.
