I have an idea for a mobile app. I have been learning the Android platform recently, hoping for an idea to come along.
Working with a platform such as Android, rather than the web obviously limits the market to owners of Android devices - MUCH smaller than the amount of people with access to a web browser.
The market for the core functionality of my idea is huge - I haven't done the research in terms of numbers (that's today's job, I'm doing it now!) but it's on the news often.
How do I find out how many people are both in the market for my apps functionality, AND have an Android device (or "have an Android device AND would be willing to pay for an app")? Is there anything other than guesswork from combining the numbers of the 2 markets?
