The project was really challenging to pull together with our friends at Vision Mobile, so we hope you agree with our view that this is a ground breaking piece of developer research that plugs a real gap in the market.

Let us know what you think. If you want to discuss on Twitter or help us promote the report (pretty please!) then use hash tag #devecon

Enjoy!

Continuing in this tradition, I’m pleased to announce we are sponsoring a new, ambitious research project by VisionMobile that will benchmark the developer experience across all 8 major platforms (iPhone, Android, Symbian, Java ME, RIM, Windows Mobile, Flash Lite or mobile web).

I’d encourage all mobile developers to participate and help set the standards for the future of mobile software development.
