Your mobile strategy will go beyond the iPhone and iPad
• In 2011, businesses will recognize that having an iPhone application does not constitute a real mobile strategy to achieve their goal of increasing reach
• With more than 1 billion smartphones expected by 2013, this is a growing market with room for many other players such as Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Symbian, HTC and Samsung
• Gartner has predicted that mobile application downloads will surpass 4 billion in 2010 and grow to 21 billion by 2013
Mobile applications and the mobile Web will get hitched and play nice together
• Operating systems creators are making it easier to launch applications leveraging Web technologies and skills
• Applications will heavily leverage mobile Web in applications as a means to scale utility and custom features cross-device
• The average user will not be able to tell the difference between a mobile Web site and mobile application eventually
Applications leverage near-field communications to become mobile commerce tools
• Android Gingerbread, which is the recent release of the operating system, supports an NFC API, generating a lot of interest
• Retailers will leverage NFC in applications to increase in-store purchase volume on a per-customer basis
• RFID chips embedded in smartphones will enable devices to become payment tools in both the physical and virtual worlds
Application security and threats will become important
• Unlike desktops, smartphones often store more personal information that is easily accessible by applications
• Application distribution channels currently do not require security testing, which will be an issue as the number of applications available reaches 1 million
• Developers will need to use techniques such as spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service and elevation of privilege
Fragmentation across operating systems and device will grow exponentially
• Operating systems: Apple iOS, Google Android, Research In Motion’s BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Hewlett-Packard’s Palm, Samsung Bada, Nokia Symbian and Intel MeeGo
• Device: smartphone, feature phone, tablet, smart televisions, automobiles, netbooks, laptops and browsers
