Mobile is predicted to be a $119B industry in 2015 (see MobiThinking article). With the current 5 billion mobile subscriptions, 3.8 billion outside the US, it is hard to ignore the burgeoning market and the huge potential for reach. If you’re developing an app in English only, you are ignoring 73% of the mobile market–this is not something a global organization can afford to do.
App Development: Simple, Light, Accessible

Having recently attended The eLearning Guild’s mLearnCon, I made it a point to speak with and listen to attendees and presenters involved in app development. There were two distinct camps: enterprise level solutions and quick and easy dev. The enterprise level evangelists included people like Robert Gadd of OnPoint Digital and Dave Smelser of Intuition. These guys know what they’re talking about. Their companies design custom mobile apps tailored to your specific needs. Robert’s enthusiasm for mobile technology is infectious, and he spews industry know-how like a broken faucet. Dave knows all things BlackBerry. Intuition’s deep involvement with financial industry clientele necessitates excellence in RIM’s secure mobile technology. If I’m deploying a native app that grabs content from a secure server, and it’s centrally controlled by a system admin, I’m talking with one of these guys.
