Mobile Development Trends for 2013

Understanding the volatile nature of the mobile market and consumer needs, can help you succeed in the rapidly growing mobile application development industry. Each day there are new mobile development projects for version updates, replacement of older technologies, and constant innovation and adaption.
This year alone witnessed a lot of old and new trends that have captured the interest of smartphone consumers and businesses alike, here we have outlined a few trends:
Cloud Computing
As mobile developers move away from native apps, more consumer applications are being built as mobile cloud applications. Cloud apps will become more popular as companies reduce the cost of deploying and supporting native applications. It all depend on the progression of development tools. The best mobile developers out there will focus on creating robust, secure mobile products based in the cloud, that push the limit of average mobile expectations.
HTML 5
HTML5 will continue to be the most popular web and mobile development language for years to come. Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, and Google all support HTML5 as the new standard. HTML5 allows developers to create one "universal" app without coding for each operating system. HTML5 is also easier than old HTML for updating web applications that do not require users to download plugins or install physical updates to their machines.
Location Based Mobile Apps
Location based technology is on the rise and has dramatically changed the world of mobile apps and services by giving advertisers new opportunities. The popularity of location services is driven by consumer incentives to check-in at locations, with the younger demographics using these services more than older. More personalized mobile apps are being developed using the location based technology; opening up potential of directing a consumer to restaurants, events, stores and even limited time offers they are close to at any given moment.
Enterprise Application Stores
This year, organizations are echoing with sounds of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) ushering in the era of enterprise mobile apps. Enterprise mobile app development is changing the way that companies communicate, affecting the way co-workers interact, an employee interacts with a customer, and even how files are accessed and stored. Organizations will also begin to deliver mobile applications to workers through private application stores. With enterprise app stores the role of IT shifts from that of a centralized planner to a market manager providing governance and brokerage services to users.
Mobile Commerce
Will become an even more thriving segment and users will be using smartphones for scanning the barcode of a product while shopping in a mall to know all the details about that product within a few seconds. Banks are also launching mobile payment apps so that buyers can pay bills and transfer fund easily over the phone.
To gain the maximum benefits of the mobile app revolution hire the best mobile developers from reputed and experienced mobile app development companies.
