(1/1)

Renegade:
This really should be in the Developer's Corner, but it's still of broad interest.

Samsung: best Android devices, fast growing ecosystem
quickly commercialise your iOS apps on Android

Samsung is shipping over 50.2 million smartphones worldwide each quarter, and all these phones come with their preinstalled app store - Samsung Apps. Using Stella SDK to target this app store is free. Why miss the chance to get featured in this fast growing app store? As the world’s largest phone maker, Samsung’s Android devices represent the most advanced technology in the industry and they are very popular around phone users globally. The Yeecco for Samsung Programme is a collaboration between Yeecco and Samsung Electronics, through this programme and Stella SDK, Yeecco brings advanced mobile development technology and great technical support to those active developers worldwide.

Samsung is subsidizing this company to provide iOS developers a free way to port their apps to Android and get it in the Samsung Apps store.

i.e.
Steal developers - attack Apple
Get apps in Samsung Apps instead of Google Play - attack Google

Looks like a brilliant little strategy there. From some that I've read from developers, the Stella SDK is really fast to port with.

Keep your eyes peeled - the mobile war is just beginning! (ROAR! EAT THEIR FLESH! ...AND SILICON!!!) :P

Stoic Joker:
Good for Samsung, Apple need a good savage beating to straighten up their attitude.

Carol Haynes:
Doubtless Stella SDK will be a target for Apple's lawyers if it makes it easy to port!
