When Steve Jobs introduced the world to the iPhone in 2007, the term 'app', which exclusively really applied to the technical world was introduced to the mainstream.. iPhone took the world by revolution when it sold 50 million units and led to a buzz in the global Smartphone industry. It also aggravated the development of a plethora of services and applications ('apps') specifically for mobile phones. We can't exactly say if the developing mobile app market is as a consequence of smartphones or the other way round. It is expected that by 2014, more than 30 billion application downloads would occur and as a consequence $40 billion yearly gross would be received.
Ed Schwarz, VP of Engineering at Gorilla Logic, agrees that Apple was the standard for mobile phone apps until recently. A mobile app was believed to be an iPhone app, however now other platforms in the market are creating apps for their users.
Smartphones have become the norm, and people function them to access news, social networks, local search, shopping etc. Businesses have to evolve to adapt change, so that their customers can gain access into new markets. Smartphones have become a necessity item rather than a luxury item, and thus forced businesses to focu. Organisations are trying to approach different applications developers to create mobile app for their brand, or alternatively, create a mobile friendly website for them. Software developers have become skillful in making applications for mobile phones on different platforms regardless of the size, product range or whether it is an on-line or brick and mortar business. With mobile applications, companies try to capture the maximum share of the market and be present all day long in their customers' lives.
There are dissimilar platforms for mobiles such as iPhone, Android, Windows mobile, Blackberry, Symbian, BREW, and J2ME. Typically, the smartphones that use one the above platforms, can be manufactured by Apple, HTC, Palm, Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson that have started developing many apps.
App developers are continously creating software, that meets the ever increasing needs of the modern business requirements. Something that these developers must realise, is that every company is individual, and thus appropriate changes are needed in terms of software programming and thus making a customised application programme is the best route, as it can offer a great solution.
If your master plan includes mobile app development, something you must know is that all phones have different operating systems and thus, applications developed for one phone won't always work in every considered environment.. Many development firms have sprung up to take advantage of the mobile apps market, so there is a lot of competition. You have to keep in head that the mobile applications you evolve should be user-friendly and serve some function. Mobile phones now have so many features, including camera, texting, voice and video interaction and it would be amazing if you could make your mobile application even more interactive. In conclusion, make certain your app is secure if its contents are going to deal with data of sensitive nature.
