According to Flurry's latest studyworldwide inventory of mobile applications is now at 600,000. This number represents an explosive growth of the market in recent years. As users are adapting to smartphone technology, they are downloading more and more mobile applications. Flurry estimates that each smartphone user has downloaded, on average, 65 apps.
These numbers are astounding in and of themselves, but coupled with Nielsen's report, which states that by the end of this year more people will have smartphones than regular phones, these numbers point to a revolution in the way that we interact with the Internet. No longer are users tied to their desktop, or even laptop, computers. They expect to interact with your business or company either through a mobile application or through a specifically designed mobile browser. Only a few years ago, having a camera on your phone was considered high tech. Now, we expect our phones to browse the Internet, schedule our lives, and provide us access to a wealth of information. We expect our phones to be miniature computers, constantly keeping us in-the-know and connected to the the world around us.
