Interest in Android Tablets on the wane...already?

A couple of interesting data points from this graph. the first of which is the relative interest in developing for iPhone vs. Android. Accepting that Android is now the leading platform in the market (setting aside the iPod Touch numbers for now) it's interesting that there remains a higher level of developer interest in iOS than Android. I would argue that this speaks to the continuing fragmentation issues with the platform and not anything that is truly customer facing.

The second point of interest is the dearth of anything after the top 2. Windows Phone slid past RIM on the developer scale, but the numbers are terribly small in comparison (29% and 27% respectively). Nokia partnering with MS probably explains the relative gain for Redmond's fledgling platform vs. BlackBerry, but the drop on the RIM side (11 points) has got to be very concerning for folks in Waterloo, given that April saw the launch of the PlayBook tablet and the official unveiling of the QNX OS that is supposed to be the future of BlackBerry
