The Mobile Application Field
In mobile technology there are portable appliances such as smart phones, E-books and PDAs that require mobile applications. These mobile applications are the software that is needed to run different programs on these smartphones, personal data assistants and E-books. These mobile applications are what add value to these items. This value is added because the functionality of these items are increased. Historically, mobile applications were dispersed with the intensions of obtaining direct profits from either including advertisements on the applications through the use of banners, or arraigning a download fee. Recently, the possibility for apps to be produced exclusively for marketing purposes has developed. Due to the fact that mobile apps are produced by independent third parties, and that creativity is not restricted by stern prearranged improvement rules and regulations, the possibility of an application’s functionality is practically unlimited. Some potential usages of an application as a marketing tool are; permitting customers to use an online service such as product customization with merely their smartphone accessible to them, letting consumers access inventory levels and bundle packages at real time representing fluctuating pricing opportunities, allowing customers to order merchandise from wherever they are, and countless others. The preceding examples outline an application’s capability to individually affect and connect an organizations product or service, pricing and advertisings, as well as placement to their customers.

Now with the innovative development every person may have numerous types of computing devices. More than 600 million mobile phones were produced in the year 2000. This is because the demand for these products increased greatly. People were starting to use their mobile devices to serve as that person’s system of payment, calendar, to-do list, and personal address book. As market demand continues to surge for apps that are needed to operate programs on an Android, Apple, Windows or whatever type of operating system control the next wave of smart devices, companies are facing a scarcity of talented mobile developers. For the information technology professionals with programming skills, this lack of available talent presents itself as a fresh opportunity to get on board of a career makeover. To put this demand in perspective, think about the fact that Apple made a whopping $1.78 billion in app sales in 2010, and global mobile app sales are forecast to hit $4 billion in 2011, according to market researcher HIS (Kent, 2011). Now think about who is responsible for making all of those apps?
