According to Developers, Mashable publishes FUD
Mashable recently posted an article entitled “Developers More Interested in Android than iPad”. If you actually read the article, you come across this little tidbit:
For this study (which you can download as a PDF) Appcelerator, a company that lets web developers create native mobile applications using a cross-platform toolkit, polled its developers to gage interest in developing on the various mobile platforms when the iPad was first announced and again last week.
(Emphasis mine)
Generalizing a limited subset of developers into the set of all developers, which is essentially what the article’s title does, is disingenuous at best. It’s a lie by omission. Unlike the title of this post, I don’t think theirs is intended as a joke.
