Twitter app Carbon leaves Windows Phone for Android

The developers of the Twitter client Carbon have announced that they are leaving the Windows Phone OS and will be releasing Carbon as an Android application.?M.Saleh Esmaeili, the man behind Carbon, wrote on his Google+ page that there were two reasons that Carbon for Windows Phone was no more. First he said, Carbon was never meant to be a cross-platform app and secondly, Windows Phone didn?t have enough users to warrant the ongoing development of the app.

Carbon was originally released as an app on the fabled WebOS platform and during the demise of WebOS, the team made the switch to Windows Phone. However the situation with Windows Phone 8 (existing devices will not be updated to WP8) and the lack of Windows Phone users meant the switch to Android had to happen.

Carbon will join a myriad of Twitter clients on the Google Play Store and despite ranking highly in the Windows Phone Store, it?s yet to be seen if they can replicate their success on Android.
