From: http://metrics.admob.com/2010/01/december-2009-mobile-metrics-report/ full report at http://metrics.admob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AdMob-Mobile-Metrics-Dec-09.pdf
IDC predicts there will be at least 300,000 iPhone applications by Q1 2011.
There something like 10,000 Windows PC applications listed on Microsoft’s Windows 7 compatibility Web site. That contrasts with over 100,000 iPhone apps listed on Apple’s iTunes store – up from 10,000 in 2008.
IDC predicts that the mobile Net will start catching up with the fixed web. There will be over 1 billion mobile devices accessing the Internet by Q1 2011, gaining quickly on the 1.3 billion PCs accessing the Internet. Mobile is growing at 2.5 times the rate of PC based connections.
Over 200 million of these devices — which are distinguished by their ability to run third-party applications — will ship in 2010, representing 16 per cent of the market.
IDC predicts that by 2013, they will account for over 20 per cent. Look for more sub-$150 smartphones to come on the scene in 2010, accelerating the market.
