So, what is the BUZZ about Mobile Applications?
The total number of mobile users in India stood at 296.08 million at the end of July 2008, as against 192.98 million a year
ago. And it is growing at 53.44 per cent per year! Mobile users read, l isten, watch and work, wherever they wish, usingservices personalized to their interests and even physical location.
This is leading to huge growth in the mobile apps domain, but fulfilling the needs of easy to use and intuitive mobile apps
is a challenge. Be it a small company like a start-up or big telecom players, it’s hard to find skilled resources to handle the
demand. Companies require developers at different levels to cater the client requirement and its daunting task to find
industry ready Mobile App developers.
Basics first: Mobile Applications Ecosystem
The mobile applications ecosystem consists of different participants
playing different roles and jointly supporting the continued growth of
the market as a whole. Participants can be broadly categorized into four
groups – operating system developers, device manufacturers, cell and
mobile network operators, and independents. The unspoken
participants are the application users or consumers.
The point here is some participants may fall into multiple categories.
Operating system developers develop operating systems for
mobile devices and, in some cases, traditional computer operating systems. They may also develop applications
that run within their proprietary operating systems.
Device manufacturers create the physical hardware devices that run the operating systems for the mobile devices.
Total mobile application downloads topped
2.69 billion in 2009 and the total is expected
to grow to 21.3 billion by 20137 - a 700
percent increase that is expected to take
place in an exponential manner.

Cell and mobile network operators are also participants, licensing and creating their own applications for resale
through their own ‘app stores’ on their networks and online.
Independents are non-affiliated or weakly-affiliated participants who offer many of the applications available on
some, or all, of the platforms. While Independents do not necessarily produce any applications, they do act as adistribution channel for applications and due to the volume of traffic they draw, they are an important factor in the
ecosystem.
Opportunities, Growth & Overview of Mobile ApplicationsThese stats will prove you how big this industry is… read below find out more.
Here are some key facts on Mobile Applications and its growth
Its forecasted that mobile applications on devices will sweep over
the web-access from desktops within the next 5 years. By 2015,
over 1 billion end users globally are estimated to gain access to
the internet by means of their mobile handset.
Mobile software downloads are likely to grow more than 700
percent, from 2.9 billion to 21 billion, by 2013. Most of these
applications to be downloaded do not really exist today.
The all round mobile applications industry for both premium and
free applications is believed to reach a worth of $9 billion by 2013
There are nearly 1.2 billion new mobile handsets sold throughout the world, 14.5 percent (172.4 million handsets)
were smart phones have the ability of taking advantage of rich mobile applications.
By and large mobile application downloads capped 2.69 billion in 2009 and the total is likely to grow up to 21.3
billion by 2013 - a 700 percentage point growth that is expected to take place in an tremendously
The no of Mobile applications
developed is increasing and this applies
to both consumer and enterpriseplatforms. While iPhone, Android are
leading in consumer segment,
BlackBerry is still a dominant playerwhen it comes to Enterprise segment.

Mobile OS platforms
Mobile devices are evolving into increasingly sophisticated general purpose computers and this has led to the
development of a variety of platforms and operating systems in themobile space. Today, the operating system lying inside your mobile
device is equally important as the device manufacturer. The various
features, GUI, processing speed, and most importantly, the applications
available for your device will depend greatly on the underlying OS.
Today’s phones are expected to run a growing range of software such
as internet browsers, navigation packages, games and music/video
players. Application platforms are supposed to provide a ground for
them. Mobile developers typically develop for multiple platforms tomaximize their available market. This can be a difficult and time-consuming task as multiple platforms use different API
calls for common OS operations and accessing OS resources such as accessing memory and files.
Today, about 80% of apps are free, andmobile phone users will download more
than eight billion applications this year,
rising spending in app stores to $6.2
billion, according to a new Gartner report.

Popular Operating systems(OS) used in Smartphone’s
iPhone OS from Apple Inc.
iOS is the world’s most advanced mobile platform, redefining what can be done with a mobile device. The iOS SDK
combined with Xcode tools make it easy to create apps that perform feats never before attempted. iOS 4 delivers several
new multitasking services that allow your apps to perform tasks in the background while preserving battery life and
performance. With the App Store present on every iOS device, and localized around the world, there is simply no platform
more compelling for mobile developers.. iPhone app store is the online market for downloading iPhone applications. Third
party applications were not officially supported until the release of iPhone OS 2.0 on July 11th 2008. Presently XCode 4 is
the development environment and the applications are written in Objective C (a variant of language C)
Android from GoogleInc.
Android was developed by Google Inc. Android is an Open Source, Linux-derived platform backed by Google, along with
major hardware and software developers (such as Intel, HTC, ARM, and eBay, to name a few), that form the Open Handset
Alliance. This OS, though very new, already has a cult following among programmers eager to develop apps for its flexible,
Open Source, back end. Android promises to give developers access to every aspect of the phone’s operation. This lends
many to foresee the promise of further growth for the Android platform.
Symbian OS from the Symbian Foundation
Symbian has the largest share in most markets worldwide, but lags behind other companies in the relatively small but
highly visible North American market. It has been used by many major handset manufacturers, including BenQ, Fujitsu, LG,
Mitsubishi, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Sharp, and Sony Ericsson. Prior to 2009, Symbian supported multiple user
interfaces, i.e. UIQ from UIQ Technologies, S60 from Nokia, and MOAP from NTT DOCOMO. As part of the formation of
the Symbian platform in 2009 these three UIs were merged into a single platform which is now fully open source.

RIM Blackberry OS
This is a proprietary software platform, created by Research In Motion, for their Black Berry phones. OS is focused on easy
operation and was originally designed for business.
The Blackberry operating system provides multi-tasking and supports specialized input devices that have been adopted by
RIM for use in its handhelds, particularly the trackwheel, trackball, and most recently, the trackpad and touchscreen. The
BlackBerry platform is perhaps best known for its native support for corporate email, through MIDP 1.0 and, more
recently, a subset of MIDP 2.0, which and allows complete wireless activation and synchronization with Microsoft
Exchange, Lotus Domino, or Novell GroupWise email, calendar, tasks, notes, and contacts, when used in conjunction with
BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The operating system also supports WAP 1.2. Recently it has seen a surge in third-party
applications and has been improved to offer full multimedia support.
Windows Mobile from Microsoft
Windows Mobile 6 Professional (for touch screen devices) and Windows Mobile 6 Standard were unveiled in February
2007. It has been criticized for having a user interface which is not optimized for touch input by fingers; instead, it is more
usable with a stylus. However, unlike iPhone OS, it does support both touch screen and physical keyboard configurations.
On February 15th, 2010 Microsoft unveiled its next-generation mobile OS, Windows Phone 7. The new mobile OS includes
a completely new over-hauled UI called “Metro”. It includes full integration of Microsoft services such as Zune, Xbox Live
and Bing.

Apps, Apps, Apps
Mobile app stores are booming worldwide. A new market research report by MarketsandMarkets acknowledges that
trend. According to the research firm’s ‘World Mobile Applications Market (2010 – 2015)’ report, the total global mobileapplications market is expected to be worth $25 billion by 2015 (up from about $6.8 billion in 2010).
MarketsandMarkets projects Apple’s App Store to hold nearly 20.5 percent of that particular cake, while the global market
is forecast to record a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 29.6 percent from 2009 to 2014.
According to the report, North America led the market since 2009 with a 41.6 percent revenue share. However, Asia is the
largest market in terms of downloads with 36 percent.
The European mobile applications market stood at $1.2 billion in 2009, but
is expected to become the largest market by 2015, at $8.4 billion and
growing at a CAGR of 33.6 percent during 2010 – 2015.
However, the off-deck mobile applications segment is expected to
experience faster growth in the future, thanks to lowering of entry barriers
and faster establishment of new independent stores, the research firm
adds. MarketandMarkets expects that, by the end of 2015, off-deck mobile
application stores will just surpass the number of downloads from on-deck
stores.
While the numbers vary from report toreport, the overall findings remain the
same: the app market is big business, one
unaffected by the ongoing recession, and
one that has yet to reach a plateau. For
mobile application developers, this latest is
just more good news
