Utility Apps With Simplistic Operation And ICloud Will Keep IPad And IPhone App Development Buzzing

Online, January 28, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The first quarter earnings for Apple indicates a growing adoption of handheld mobile devices while cannibalizing a potential lot of mac customers. As we all know that, the investment behind a mac has always remained high compared to a windows PC. In midst of this changing preference for computing devices, handheld iPads with comparable computing capabilities and priced significantly lesser than the macs seems to be a logical choice for the general consumer. While higher computing power and flexibility is utilized by a few sections of professionals, the general consumer's choice of iPad with comparable computing power and budget friendliness seems legit. Due to the app driven ecosystem of tablets, mobile app development companies are hopeful of another revolutionary phase and standardisation of the app driven ecosystem.

"We have seen it in the case of casual games and now witnessing similar trends in the apps as well. They are toned down, operate with simple touch actions and attract the masses" says Jayneel Patel, Managing Director of Openxcell Technolabs. Mobile app development companies specialized in iPad and iPhone app development have capitalized over the adaptability factor of apps that cannot be applied in the case of desktop computing. They are eager to code utility apps such as video/photo editing apps, that might not match the output of final cut, premiere or Photoshop but so simple to use, that even a novice can enjoy these geeky tasks, be creative and feel a sense of self appreciation at the same time. The angry bird phenomenon was a similar one that hinted the potential of custom coded mobile app development projects. With the growth of handheld tablets, the ecosystem will only get better however the basal variables of simplicity and functionality will remain consistent variables to adjudge mobile app developers.

Riding high on this business model needs to seal the ecosystem and Apple did exactly that by providing its consumers with the iCloud. While Google's drive is good for document creation and offers cheap storage, it lacks the automatic and seamless backup feature of iCloud. Data created from any Apple device is can be accessed across other apple devices with seamless ease. As Tim cook announced a rise of iCloud users to 250m users from 150m in july 2012, Apple is set to invest heavily in iCloud. As Skydrive from Microsoft and Google's drive are providing functional apps online apps for enterprise related data, Apple could head the rich media way and might allow playing online games and other utility apps through iCloud. Thus one might be able to pause a game session in his mac and reopen it in his iPhone to continue later.

Opportunities in the iPad and iPhone app development will continue to grow. Given a non substitutable ecosystem from Apple, mobile app developers will be motivated to create better apps and attract the masses.
