Interesting take on Android development from Mika Mobile, who ported their game Battleheart from iOS to Android. Much of their story runs contrary to the conventional wisdom: they’re making money on paid downloads for Android, and it doesn’t seem like device fragmentation was a major problem (thanks to the game being built atop Unity). But customer support is a major issue: many Android users have problems with simply downloading apps.
