Google is on a recruitment drive. The company has plans to boost its smartphone and other mobile devices development division by hiring dozens of software engineers, product managers and other mobile experts.
Mobile apps is huge business and it is forecast this year the app revenue will hit $15.1 billion. There is money to be made here and Google know that. They have done really well with Android to date but to stay at the top of the mobile tree they need to keep inovating and developing.
While Android may be outpacing iPhone in terms of sales it is accepted that the apps on the iPhone are generally superior to the offerings on the Android platform. Coupled with the fact that Android has only 100,000 apps compared to 350,000 plus on iPhone, Google has plenty of room for growth and improvement.
The “new” CEO, Larry Page has stated that one of his aims of speeding up development and getting things done. This recruitment drive in the mobile space should certainly see that happen.
