Explosion of Apps Market



I was going through some articles related to the Mobile Apps Development and their market place recently, and found very interesting statistics in one blog with the heading, Apps to Explode to $38 Billion Market by 2015 (click here).

While iPhone leads the market with an astonishing 82.7% as of the start of this year, the race has begun for the market share from the giants, Android, Black Berry, HP, Samsung, Nokia, Microsoft, LG etc. The interesting trend is that, the parameters change in such a big pace, we cannot predict the situation after 2-3 years of time now. Who will dominate the market ? Which all new players will be there ? We should wait and see.

iPhone has just triggerred this explosion, but if you look at the competitors, Android is penetrating the market in a bigger pace, Black Berry is targeting business class customers, even Acer has emerged as a strong player in the field.

The collaboration of Microsoft and Nokia over the Windows Phone 7 for Nokia smart phones is a clear indicator on what is Microsoft's aim on this market. The exciting new features released with Windows Phone 7 Mango clearly tells us how fast they want to capture the market.

All indicators predict that what we see now is just the tip of the big iceberg yet to emerge in the coming days.

An interesting discussion going on over this link on topic, Does Windows Phone 7 stand a chance versus iOS, Android and BlackBerry?. Take a look.

Few interesting reads on the topic.


Just wondering, what will be our share in this big figures .... :)
