How the Rise of Mobile Device Applications Will Shape the Handset Market
Posted on: September 28, 2009 – Filed under: Singapore
The mobile internet applications space is booming. Apple’s AppStore is evidence that mobile apps are hot. And, with the increasing popularity of smartphones, mobile internet apps will continue to be a hot topic.
A recent study from ABI Research shows that Mobile Cloud Computing will change the face of the mobile application world by 2014. Mobile Cloud Computing is the new approach to mobile application that uses the mobile Web to support application performance instead of handset processing power and storage taking the brunt of the work. Because of this, mobile applications will travel down the line of device types from smartphones to entry-level phones, expectedly becoming even more popular generating a projected $20 billion in revenue by 2014.
The upcoming MobileMonday Singapore event is sponsored by ABI Forums (sister company to ABI Research). Jake Saunders, VP for Forecasting – ABI Research, will share the trends in how the mobile internet application development is shaping the handset and mobile devices evolution.
