Web Movil vs Aplicacion Movil

Why You May Not Need a Mobile App: "; Comscore reported in April that 72 million mobile users accessed a website compared to 69 million users who used an application. Both are showing more than 25% year-to-year growth.

Mobile Web Gets Better
When the app store first launched, only apps could use and access the device’s location. Last July, Apple launched OS 3.0 which provided Safari() with GPS/location functionality.

The Age of the Mobile Mash-Up

The rate of innovation in mobile services is just about to take a quantum leap. We are going from a divergent and messy ecosystem, where every new concept has to be made into a specialized ”app” that works only on a small sub-set of mobile handsets (even the mighty iPhone only has around 3% of the global mobile phone market), to an environment much more like the web. Today, new services can easily be composed out of existing components and run on a common platform - the browser. We are entering an age where the creation of a new mobile service - taking advantage of such features as the user’s location, social network, personal data, and even phone-specific functions such as the camera and accelerometer - can be mashed-up and put on-line just as easily as Web 2.0 services have been for several years already.

At the Mobile Life research centre in Kista, Sweden, partners from academia and industry are working together to imagine this future of abundant mobile services. Fortunately, we are not working in the dark - we can build on a foundation of several decades of research. Some 20 years ago, Mark Weiser, a research scientist at Xerox PARC in Palo Alto, had a vision of the future: he called it ubiquitous computing. He imagined that dozens, even hundred of small computers would be available everywhere, and seamlessly support us in our everyday tasks.

Mobile analytics vendor offers developers tips and tricks for making money on your smartphone applications.
Let's say you've developed the greatest smartphone application in the history of smartphone applications. You're sure everyone who tries it will love it. Now you have two related problems:
How will you get the word out about it, with so much competition in the field?
How will you make money off of it, so you can continue to improve it, and build more applications?
According to a PDF guide (registration required) by mobile analytics and billing company Bango, the promotion/selling starts with getting your new application noticed in whatever app store(s) you're releasing in, whether it's the iPhone App Store, Android Market, BlackBerry App World or whatever.
