6. Apps drive this growth.
“3 Billion downloads, 140,000 apps”
(Apple)

7. Because…
“Native apps leverage the relationship
between the user and the device in a way
mobile web apps simply can’t.”
(Mobile Marketer)

8. That’s Great!
But…
“Most apps take at least six months of full-time work
and cost between $20,000 and $150,000 to develop.”
(Forrester Research)

9. And…
“Android will overtake Blackberry and iPhone by
2012” (Gartner)
