2013: The Year of Mobile Appification
If the recently concluded Mobile World Congress (MWC) is anything to go by, the era of mobile appification has only begun. New and innovative form factors, hybrid devices and some other interesting prototypes were the highlights of MWC. Whatever the form factor, whatever the platform, the demand for mobile apps is going through the roof. This exponential growth of mobile apps will continue to be fueled by the positive market response for these mobile devices, tablets and upcoming hybrids. This year is only seeing a glimpse of what's bound to happen three, four years down the line. A clear indication of mobile apps taking centre stage can be seen in the recent release of Microsoft's Windows 8. This latest iteration of the ubiquitous OS has been completely revamped and given a new look and feel to cater to the tablet and mobile market. One of the key selling features of Windows 8, never heard of in Windows' history, is the entry into the mobile apps market. The central theme of Windows 8 has been built around apps and even the Metro UI echoes the same idea.
It's not just Microsoft moving in this direction, there's already Apple and Google with their own app stores selling nearly a million mobile apps each. There are new entrants into this sphere investing heavily on mobile apps as this is where future business potential lies. A 2012 research report states that people spend more time on mobile apps than they do on browsing websites on their mobile phones. The app market has also made file storage and access common across devices and platforms thanks to cloud solutions. A simple client app can help access your files stored in a cloud across multiple devices in different geographic locations. The undeniable usability of apps has helped it break into the internet domain. There are web apps available to automate a query, website specific apps, ticketing apps and more such web apps are coming our way.
Here are some figures that indicate massive potential in the mobile app sphere. If we take Google's Android OS for instance, in 2012, there were 1.3 million device activations to Android OS per day. In stark contrast, a year before, there were an approximate 400,000 activations. We can see an exponential 225% growth within a year. This staggering figure constitutes just one player in the app market. 2013 is the year of appification as realized by an equally growing number of enterprise app developers. Now is the time to give your idea the mobile app makeover. Your idea could be the next big thing to revolutionize your enterprise.
