Last week we discussed some surprising results that were found in the Q1 2012 Appcelerator/IDC Mobile Developer Report: Seventy-nine percent of mobile developers reported they will integrate HTML5 in their apps this year. According to Fierce Developer author, Jason Ankeny, that's significantly higher than many industry observers anticipated even as recently as late 2011.

Ankeny recently wrote an article about developers giving up on Android. The Q1 Appcelerator/IDC report found that 78.6 percent of developers expressed interest in building apps for Google, down from 87 percent a year ago. According to Ankeny, the reason for this isn’t that people aren’t buying Android devices, it’s that there is an increasing amount of fragmentation in the mobile app market.
