Vacancies for developers with Android skills have rocketed by 424 percent in the space of a year, according to UK IT recruitment consultancy IntaPeople. Using figures sourced by IT Jobs Watch, IntaPeople compared the total number of permanent job adverts citing Android skills in the three months to 31 January 2011 with the same period 12 months earlier. Demand for developers with Android experience grew at a much faster rate than for those with iPhone expertise, which rose by a more moderate 263 percent. However, the overall number of iPhone-related positions remained higher, with 1,239 jobs advertised between November 2010 and January 2011, compared to 1,047 for Android. The average salary for a developer with Android experience was found to be £45,000, while those with iPhone skills can expect to receive £42,500.
