GigaOm recently reported that mobile applications are getting more attention than the Web on smartphones in the United States, citing a survey from Flurry, a mobile analytics firm. According to Flurry, mobile apps are used, on average, for 81 minutes a day by US consumers.
Think about how you use your mobile phone - are you heading over to www.yourbank.com every time you need to check a balance? Do you even go to "Google" anymore for your e-mail?
For developers this means more business, particularly those developers that create mobile applications from established backend systems. But, I think it may also present a challenge -- with hundreds of thousands of apps out there, how do you create the "best" one?
How do you get your app some of that 81 minutes of attention? Share your thoughts on this. Will this survey change your development strategy?
