Based on the latest research from Screen Digest’s Mobile Intelligence Service, yearly revenues from applications other than voice and messaging on mobile are set to double in the next four years to €100 billion (about $144 million) by the end of 2013.
The exploding number of application stores and corresponding development platforms poses a danger -- creating unnecessary market fragmentation.
Screen Digest believes market consolidation is a long way off as the sheer size of the mobile market will offer enough room for all of them to co-exist.
