The next challenge for the Pixel Tablet is to foster a rewarding community for developers to profit from.
Android is already at a disadvantage to iOS and iPad OS here.
Horace Dediu has been looking at the data regarding app income, specifically the value of a single customer. And Apple’s team is ahead by a significant amount:"So the picture becomes clearer. The iPhone customer is 7.4 times more valuable than the Android customer. This is more impressive than the 4x rule I had 10 years ago.
Developers already have to fight with Android's lower earnings proposition than iPhone, but the volume of Android users - especially outside the US - helps make up the difference. That strength in numbers is simply missing from the Android tablet community. Developers are not going to spend resources chasing after rewards that are not there.
The Pixel Tablet is Google’s aide to help move the community along. First of all, it showed Google’s commitment to the table space. Then it showed off how Android’s large-screen modes worked in a tablet and, of course, the continuing updates to the software. It’s now in the process of the third major step, bringing the megacorps into the discussion and presumably offering support to bring tablet versions of their major apps.
Bring all of that together, add in a growing user base through sales of both the Pixel Tablet and tablets from manufacturing partners, and you have a virtuous cycle ready to keep on growing.
