Is it worthy to start up mobile development business?
Saturday, March 13th, 2010I have some ideas on the business of mobile software development. You may ask me why I have started to think this over. Because it seems that mobile development has become the tremendous trend of the last year. Every my fellow software company have turned to mobiles. They say that it’s much easier to get an order for mobile development that any other. It seems the world went crazy. Everybody goes to mobile markets. Apple AppStore have announced 3 bil download. The number of apps in the store exceeds 250 thousand. Every week the news appears about new rich jerks that managed to catch the mainstream and get their first (or the next one 
) million.
So the question is it worthy to enter that market today when everyone is already there. I believe the answer is “yes”. The number of mobile phone users has exceeded 4 billion last year. The number of Internet users counts in billions also. So there are fantastic possibilities for market growth. You may buy everything online now, even the latest Gucci collections.
The second point is that there are some niches on the market that are absolutely free. Just compare the number of apps in iTunes and Android market.
And the last idea is that tastes differ so the fashion changes. So if you manage to guess what is in trend today you will the king of the mountain.
So stop loosing your time (money) and go for mobile.
