Gartner predicts that by 2013, smartphone applications will be a $6.2 billion dollar industry(Prediction 2012)

Ongoing trends in smartphone adoption — which this year finally outnumbered the amount of non-smartphones getting purchased —

There will be 102 billion app store downloads this year, 90 percent of which will be on Apple’s App Store and Google Play. This will lead to global app revenues of $26 billion in 2013, and in the future, growth in revenues will outstrip that of app downloads (Projection 2013)

Mobile App Client Architecture There are three popular approaches today: Mobile Web App: In this approach, the application runs on a mobile browser. The browser only hosts the application’s presentation layer that is designed using HTML5. The interface typically looks and behaves like a traditional web site but is designed for the mobile device form factor. Native App: In this approach, the mobile application is custom built for the target device operating system with a compiled programming language like Objective C and using the native SDK. This approach offers the native look and feel, the best performance, and a great user experience. Hybrid App: This approach emerged to address the inability of the Web App approach to access device sensors (like cameras and Bluetooth) while preserving its highly desirable cross-platform support. The Hybrid App approach achieves this by building HTML5-based applications that run in the browser. But unlike in the case of the Web App approach, here the browser is embedded inside a native container app that provides a bridge for the HTML5 pages to access the low-level device functions.
