According to AdMob, iPhone and Android users now account for 82% of US mobile web traffic. Clearly, the two platforms have radically changed the marketplace.  Today more and more people in the world are going mobile. With changing lifestyles and easy availability of mobile phone aided with good connectivity, mobile is no more a luxury, it’s a necessity.

For business professionals it offers great deal of productivity and usability. And with over 10,000 new apps being developed each week, it’s certain that apps will drive the future of the mobile/wireless industry.
