People were wonderstruck when they first saw the movie “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”. Now they have to cope up with the reality of the smartphones. The smartphones are a combination of the telephone device and the computer. They are palm sized and very handy. It would not be wrong in saying that the smartphones have shrunk the global perspectives of business into a palm sized device.
As technology evolves the smartphones are now becoming more affordable. Consequently the users of smartphones are increasing exponentially. The number of people accessing the internet through the smartphones is on a dramatic rise.
There are different brands and versions of mobiles available in the market. The operating system and the mobile development platforms of the smartphone vary from brand to brand. The basic technology also differs. It is highly probable that an mobile application developed for one brand of smartphone may not be compatible with the other. As a result of this incompatibility, the applications may not be accessible to the smartphone user. Finally it is the loss for the business who owns that particular mobile web application. Thus it becomes mandatory for the business to have applications that are compatible with all the brands of mobiles in the market. Some of the prominent brands of mobile in the market are iPhone and Blackberry. Some of the famous names in mobile applications are Android applications, iPhone applications, iPad Applications, BlackBerry applications, Symbian OS applications and windows mobile applications.
The other aspect of mobile applications is making it easier to handle the businesses. Most of the people in the higher management level of the corporate world are constantly on the move. The companies conduct operations at multiple locations. The work at all the branches has to be coordinated and regularly monitored. The reports from different branches need to be studied and reviewed. Critical Information needs to be shared immediately between the key personnel and immediate decisions need to be taken. In these sorts of circumstance where the user can only carry the cell phone and not the laptop, the mobile app need to be customized. The mobile applications help the user to be connected to the business form any corner of the world. Mobile applications work on the principle of minimal dependency on the network connections.
If it is a small business the mobile application development can prove to be a very cost effective popularity tool. Suppose your studies have revealed that most of your buyers have mobile with Android OS, you need to have an mobile app developed. The early bird takes the worm. Once you are the first at developing any mobile application that market is nearly sure to be yours. Late entries are usually considered secondary because by that time the buyers get used to using the earlier application.
