Future Belongs to Mobile First Applications. Why?
- India will have more than 200 mn Smart Phone users by 2015.
- With increased penetration of 3G and 4G, high speed data connections will be the norm across India. Thus, all users will prefer to use MOBILE as first choice of device.
- Even today, any business user spends much more time on a mobile device- checking mails, messages, whatsapp- rather than on a PC or a laptop.
THUS, all future application have to assume 80% mobile usage and 20% web usage.
What do we mean by Mobile First applications? These are applications designed PRIMARILY for Mobile device, but also have an extension into Web.
