This document discusses how Google is well positioned for mobile apps. It notes that mobile app revenue grew significantly from 2009 to 2013 due to changes in mobile use, scale, and app ecosystems. Google's Play revenue doubled year-over-year, showing opportunity to diversify beyond ads. While over a billion apps have been downloaded, most are only used once, presenting an opportunity to improve app discovery and engagement. The document outlines Google's cross-product approach for mobile apps, including in-app display, YouTube, and search to help advertisers acquire and engage users.
