iPhone Applications: What’s The Buzz And Why???

By: kelly Burby

First, let’s not compare iPhone with any other phones. The reasons are simply it’s additional features and functionalities that places it way above the others. And it’s getting proved every single day, with its growing popularity worldwide.

Along with iPhone come the iPhone applications or iPhone web apps. The functionalities and features make it a wonderful browsing experience for the users and therefore, applications on iPhone are also getting popular every day. One major plus point that iPhone has got in comparison to other platforms is its single UI. Any development on other mobile platforms would require huge investments for device porting only.

Taking the competition to the leading enterprise smartphone champion of the market, RIM’s BlackBerry, Apple cherry-picked 4,000 odd software engineers for its iPhone SDK (software development kit) beta program to come up with applications for their iPhone web apps store to sell and iPhone users to enjoy. And as it is turning out to be, a great number of these promised programs are apparently geared towards the enterprise user.

A lot of these enterprise level applications are being designed to support time-sensitive data, for example: inventory tracking, price checking, contract reviewing, and delivery scheduling with suppliers and shippers etc. etc.

Apple introduced iPhone SDK almost six months back and since then iPhone application development is growing day by day. And browsing through the Apple web store can give a fair idea about the popularity and on growing craze in the market. A simple iPhone game or application can cost as little as $10K but the potential remains immense for sure. And that’s what driving people to get in touch with iPhone application development companies who has got wonderful expertise for all major mobile platforms and have been developing iPhone applications or web apps for their clients since the release of iPhone SDK.
