EVOLUTION OF MOBILE APPS Brian Choi

By 2014, about 1.75

billion people use

smartphones and the

number is still growing

With the wide distribution and usage of smartphones, the mobile apps have

drastically changed the way of life.

According to Inside Facebook, an

average person adds 2.5 new apps

every month.

Blackberry introduced the very first smartphone in 2002

Apple’s first iPhone was introduced in 2007 and it

completely changed the mobile app market.

The first mobile apps included in the apple iPhone

were map, photo, message, and weather

The variety and quality of mobile

apps have substantially increased

since then

Social media is one of the biggest popular

types of mobiles in the market today. They

consist of photo and video sharing in a blink of

a second

Mobile apps also help you find

your match.

Mobile apps also keep us

entertained. A popular mobile

game ‘Angry Birds’ has been

purchased 12 million copies alone.

As the tablet usage increases, the mobile

app market has taken another turn

Apps not only create word documents

but also can create powerpoint slides

for presetations.

The power of documenting apps has attracted

many of those to switch over from using laptops to

tablets.

Mobile apps even allow quality music producing. The

applications vary from guitar to any instruments that

exist.

Creating motion pictures

and quality short films are

also things mobile apps offer

Tablets with educational apps have been adopted by many

educational institutions to be used as educational tools for

students. This way, students can save trees and can learn to use

technologies from early ages.

Possibility of mobile applications

is limitless. Due to its flexibility, it

can be applicable to any form

of mobile machines.
