Mobile&Embedded Community: App developers struggle to profit from Android

The java.net Mobile&Embedded Community reports App developers struggle to profit from Android:

Software developers writing applications for Google Android are struggling to turn a profit from the mobile operating system. New research published on Tuesday by positioning system firm Skyhook Wireless found that 57% of mobile application developers were not satisfied with their profits from Android. Only 4% of the respondents reported being very satisfied. "Rather than creating opportunity, platform divergence has just created further problems; we simply can't afford to test across all Android phones," said Android app maker James Grafton, in a statement.
