Mobile downloads to reach 50 billion in 2012
Here at TSB Towers we love to keep you updated with the latest facts and figures from the world of smartphones, apps and the mobile web and recently there have been several studies and bits of research we wanted to share with you.
Firstly a report from independent app store GetJar, has predicted that app downloads will reach a staggering 50 Billion by the end of 2012 which represents a huge leap since it last reported 7 Billion downloads in 2009.
Secondly and perhaps surprisingly given the staggering numbers quoted above ComScore revealed recently that fewer than 50% of mobile phones currently in use in the USA is a smart phone (i.e. able to download, install and use apps) – although this is changing rapidly.
How these figures relate to Australia is a moot point, but this demonstrates if nothing else, that we are still nowhere near the peak of smartphone and app usage.
Aussies like location based deals.
Here at TSB Towers, we like to think we’re on to a good thing, but it is always good to know that people agree with you, which is why when we came across this survey we thought we would share it with you. continue reading »
