Smartphones - A New Arena Of Software Application Development
Mobile phones gave people increased mobility and better network coverage without wires
. But people demanded for more on their mobile phones which had already become an indispensable accessory. The cell phone handset manufacturers came out with high-end mobile phones that combined the capacity of a computer and functioned like a complete entertainment machine.
These Smartphone devices provide more utility and entertainment than traditional mobile phones. Moreover, users have plenty of devices from which to choose, whether it is a multimedia powerhouse, a messaging machine, or a social networking tool. It is therefore expected that the demand for converged mobile devices will continue to grow faster than the overall mobile phone market. As reported by Gartner, the Smartphone sales will account for 46% of all mobile phone sales worldwide by 2013. The worldwide market for touchscreen mobile devices will surpass 362.7 million units in 2010, a 96.8 percent increase from 2009 sales of 184.3 million units, according to Gartner, Inc. By 2013, touchscreen mobile devices will account for 58 percent of all mobile device sales worldwide and more than 80 percent in developed markets such as North America and Western Europe.

Software development companies are competing with each other to develop newer applications and widgets on these software platforms. YouTube for mobile, streaming news broadcast, barcode readers, games are just some of the examples of applications developed for smartphones.
