5. WHY MOBILE?
Opinion:
“The mobility explosion will continue in 2011 with millions (yes, millions) of mobile apps. The big difference
as we go into 2011 is that the number of devices - smartphones and tablets - will shift more than PC.”
“We will finally see the end of the PC-centric era, and we’ll never look back.”
Frank Gens, Chief Analyst, IDC
The Facts:
The number of Apps available for the Android Market today is 6 times that of one year ago
The App Store hit three billion downloads in early January 2010 with over 300,000 apps registered
The top 300 free apps in the US generated over 3 million downloads each day during December 2010
