...Introduction: Today there were many types of mobile development approaches and methodology. A lot of companies approach vendors to develop their mobile apps. It is the vendors’ prerogative to suggest the best development methodology keeping in mind the type of company they are dealing with, their consumer base, the domain, the effect that the mobile app will have on their business. Some of the current trends in mobile developments are the approaches that can be used in mobile application development. One of the approaches is the Native apps that are considered as the conventional mobile apps. The native apps store explicitly on the device since they use the Smartphone’s features and functionality. These types of apps do not need a “container app” to run it meaning they interface directly with the mobile Operating system with any intermediary application. They can make use of the API’s provided by the OS vendor and more often than not have the look and feel of the mobile they are stored on. Another approach is the Web apps and HTML5 because today the Smartphone out there come with very powerful browsers with support for many HTML 5 capabilities, CSS3 and advanced JavaScript. Vendors can create websites that recognize that they are being sourced to a mobile and render web pages that are suitable to be viewed on a smaller screen. Statement of the problem and/or need: Nowadays, children are hooked-up with many computer games and mobile application games. As hardware are constantly...

...Mobile Computing and Social Networks by Jamia Yant June 6th, 2012 Effectiveness and Efficiency Mobile-based Applications Provide With Regard to Geolocation and Consumer Data Geolocation is a technology that uses data acquired from an individual’s computer or mobile device (any type of radio or network-connection-enabled device) to identify or describe his/her actual physical location. (ISACA, 2011) This technology has become one of the most popular trends in social networking giving us the ability to let our friends know where we are, identify popular or convenient places close to our physical location or even remotely check in to restaurants. These types of applications when accessed on a desktop system are flatter and less of an experience. Most individuals at some point in time have pulled up MapQuest or Google Maps to get directions from point “A” to point “B”, printed thier directions and were on their way. But the experience is a lot richer when you are mobile and you’re Smartphone or other device automatically plugs in your current location. The relevant data you send and receive changes as your location changes. These applications are able to do this through a GPS chip inside the device. The chip uses satellite data to calculate your exact position. In the event that there is interference or the service is unavailable, the chip uses information from cell towers to triangulate the approximate location of the device. The efficiency of these apps is dependent...

... whether for professional or personal purposes. While the combination of these capabilities is radically altering the means by which enterprises need to do business, the move to a mobile-enabled world is creating tremendous opportunities for enterprises to leverage mobility as a means of driving high performance and ensuring competitive advantage. Some of the key factors that are driving enterprises to develop mobile strategies are as follows: Rapidly expanding use of mobile devices. The rapid adoption of "smart" mobile devices by both consumers and employees, coupled with the increase in bring your own device (BYOD) in the work environment, is placing significant challenges on enterprises to meet a broader set of requirements. In particular, enterprises face tremendous pressure to support a widening array of application functions (e.g., sales, customer care, ERP, marketing), technology platforms (e.g., native OS, Web OS, mobile enterprise application platform [MEAP], cloud), and devices (e.g., smartphones, smart tablets, smart vehicles). Expanding integration of "mobile" machine-to-machine (M2M) capabilities. The use of M2M capabilities increasingly involves what are essentially mobile devices. Just consider telematics, including vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and fleet management, as well as mobile telehealth applications involving medication and medical care reminders that include the...

...more efficient and faster. My proposal is that this company adopt a NewwDeal mobile application and have it free in the mobile marketplaces. This application will allow a customer to browse current inventory, place orders, track packages and contact customer service. This application should be available on mobile platforms to include Windows, Android and Apple to ensure we are able to have a broad reach of customers (Charland & Leroux 2011). I used the strength, weakness, opportunities and challenges (SWOC) Matrix found in Capella University's Course Resources area. I used this matrix to identify key aspects of a mobile application. The strengths of developing a interactive mobile application are attractive interface, easy to navigate and great usability. The weakness consist of possible poor mobile optimization, text difficult to read and potential longer process to find product. Opportunities that are available by developing a mobile application is speed in loading, real time feedback and a new way to reach Millennial customers and more sales. The challenges that the application can bring are inimitable application function. To prevent this application from fully being imitated it will need to exceed standards and be set apart from other applications. The success of this product will depend on the user experience and ensuring the design is all about the end user (Charland & Leroux 2011). This mobile application can overcome customer challenges by allowing NewwDeal to have...

...Mobile Apps Business Strategy Short Marketing Analysis of the Mobile Apps Market Every modern business needs its own mobile app in order to attract new customers and drive away the competitors without their own mobile apps. 36% of construction companies utilized more than 5 mobile business apps in 2014 (Business-Apps, 2015). In other words, software development becomes more profitable year by year. On the one hand, employers significantly reduced the paperwork and manual data processing with the help of the mobile apps. 23 percent of huge construction companies use ten or even more mobile business apps in 2014. Mobile apps cut costs on inspections (61%), checklists (31%) and work orders (49%). 69 percent of businesses want their apps to connect their data with Dropbox or Google Drive. Apps finally allow signature capture and image capture to happen. Cute image can attract a lot of new customers. Mobile apps help manufacturers to attract more return clients. Mobile apps can also help the small business to outrun the bigger one (Haselmayr, 2015). Mobile apps elaborate the customer loyalty since the contact between the product and the customer is better because an average customers uses his/her smartphone or tablet PC two hours a day. From this point of view, mobile apps are more effective than billboards, roadside banners, email spam, or websites. 1 General app development costs It usually takes most mobile leaders...

...effective and efficient mobile-based applications are at capturing customer data and tools that utilize geolocation technology, we will begin with the current state of smartphone app usage and specific processes made in correlation with mobile devices. Experts predict that by 2020 there will be more than three billion mobile devices making 450 billion mobile transactions. (Chordas, 2012) This key set of projections made by experts concerning future trends in the mobile space, have many companies taking notes and preparing to use mobile based apps using tools like geolocation and customer data usage to their advantage. For example, in the insurance sector, companies like State Farm are creating apps that allow young drivers and parents to study driving trends, utilizing young drivers’ smartphones with mechanisms like accelerometers. State Farm just released its Driver Feedback app for use on Android devices. (Chordas, 2012) State Farm did not just focus on the Android smartphone platform for publishing their apps, the Apple iPhone was also part of the focus regarding their market expansion. State Farm published this unique app for Apple iPhones to engage broader smartphone markets. In 2011, the carrier launched an application for iOS devices that tracks driving behavior. This app as Chordas reports, offers teen drivers and their parents access to nonbiased feedback so families can have constructive conversations about safe driving.

...for a specific mobile device through which providers integrate the value chain and other resources to provide mobile applications to consumers via the Internet, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks. Application stores developed alongside Web 2.0 and began with Apple’s App Store. The store’s huge success has since attracted other players to the market. As of October 2009, the App store has earned over US$ 2.4 billion for Apple and the independent developers the store uses. Over 93,000 applications are currently available, and over 2 billion downloads were made. There are two kinds of application store depending on the type of platform provider used. . Handset and OS vendors: Currently, most top smartphone vendors have launched their own application stores.

...SECURING A MOBILE WORLD Introduction Today’s smartphones and tablets are more than communication devices. They are hip-mounted personal computers, with more memory and processing power than your laptop of just a few years ago. They are an integrated part of our lives… personal and professional. The information they provide is so vital that the Army is piloting their use as standard field issue to every soldier, complete with combat-focused applications [1]. However, smartphones and tablets raise new security issues. They are more likely to be lost or stolen, exposing sensitive data. Malware risks are increased because they connect to the Internet directly rather than from behind corporate firewalls and intrusion-protection systems. Security of mobile devices focuses on controlling access through the use of device locks and hardware data encryption. While this may be sufficient for individual users, it is insufficient for defense needs. Many documented examples exist of hacking of the device lock, as well as defeats of the hardware-level encryption. Once the device is unlocked, there is generally unfettered access to all apps and their associated data. Military applications require additional application-level access controls to provide data security. Unfortunately, there are gaps in the application-level security model of the two predominant mobile operating systems: iOS from Apple and Google Android. Our ongoing research1 looks to address these gaps by developing innovative...
