Mobile innovation is changing the way that companies are communicating with customers and getting work done.

Still, while the greatest value from mobile is drawn from the apps and data being used, many enterprises continue to struggle with how best to handle mobile app distribution in a way that drives adoption of the key mobile apps

Enterprise mobile apps are only effective if they’re being used. That’s why getting them in the used by your dealer network is absolutely important. Organizations with widespread or global networks can generally handle mobile app distribution in one of two ways: publishing to a public app store or publishing to an enterprise app store.

However, despite the overall enthusiasm for mobile apps, widespread adoption and use of apps within the enterprise has yet to occur. A variety of challenges companies experience in building and managing apps also maybe hindering adoption. A few crucial steps for successful mobile application adoption can be:

Focus on the user experience:

Highlight the apps benefits and demonstrate how it enables employees to perform tasks more efficiently. We also recommend incorporating feedback to ensure that the app sufficiently meets employee needs and expectations.

Make speed a top priority:

The reason that top consumer apps are well adopted is because they are simple—you don’t need to be trained professionally to use them. The same holds for the enterprise.

Know your user persona, not just your buyer persona:

Because employee adoption is critical to enterprise app success, user expectations and challenges should inform each stage of development. Offer an intuitive user experience, and enhance workforce productivity.

Safe and secure:

This is the most important aspect that need to be considered when embarking on the perfect mobile strategy due to rising incidents of data intrusion, malware or even hacking of accounts.

Promote services evangelism post-deployment:

Enterprise features can provide immediate value for workers, if they are able to use them. Thus, integrating your Support team into the feature adoption strategy is non-negotiable. It is important to be in touch with enterprise mobile app developers who have the experience delivering enterprise app solutions from the conceptualization stage through deployment.

To unlock the value of data, companies have to find ways to let it be easily accessed as part of this supply chain, flowing easily and usefully through the entire organization, and eventually throughout the organization’s ecosystem of partners as well. It is important to be prepared and agile enough to make changes based on what the analysis is showing.

In this blog post I present you some of the iPhone apps that have been downloaded the most in the year 2013. So, take a look at the top most apps on the Apple’s App store:

1. Candy Crush Saga: This app can rightly be called as the King of all game apps. It is also the top one in the list of free apps.
2. YouTube: It seems that iOS users are fans of YouTube. To meet their needs Apple introduced the YouTube app which is the second most downloaded free app.

Apart from the above listed, there are a number of apps that users are downloading incessantly.

Munster, Business Insider reports, believes that Apple will quickly secure at least 10% or better of the low-end smartphone market.

A low-end iPhone is generally thought of as an iPhone available for $300, well below the average selling price of $620.

That revelation comes to us from San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón who has been in contact with Apple’s government liaison Michael Foulkes.

Gascón, who is working to spread technology capable of mitigating cellphone-related thefts in San Francisco, reveals that Apple won’t be able to initiate a so-called “kill switch” on the iPhone any time soon.

The kill switch, as you might expect, can be remotely activated by a consumer if their cellphone is lost or stolen.

According to Gascón, the next two iPhone models have already been designed – under Steve Jobs – and can’t be reworked to include the kill-switch technology at this time.

All good things in life don’t come for free always. But costs a few dollars, you can easily enjoy the best of services, at least in terms of applications download for the Apple iPhone.

iPhone apps development is so useful and in demand because it makes the operation of your needs very simple. It can develop applications that can be customized to your individual needs catering especially and specifically to what you want. The need could be as simple and small as developing a simple game to the development of a complex project level application, iPhone apps development can gratify it. Be it business or personal life, it has its own effect and it has made things far easier to operate than they were ever before.

A few weeks ago Apple released a new draft of their iPhone developer program license which contained the following section

Iphone application development may use documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and not to use private call APIs, and Applications must be initially written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS Web Kit engine. This has the effect of restricting applications built with a number of technologies, including Unity, Titanium, MonoTouch, and Flash CS5. While it appears that Apple may selectively enforce the terms, it is our belief that Apple will enforce those terms as they apply to content created with Flash CS5. Developers should be prepared for Apple to remove existing content and applications (100+ on the store today) created with Flash CS5.

Twitter has announced the release of a set of business tools for corporate users. The tools are currently being tested by selected users but will be available to all in the near future.

According to data gathered by NPD Group, Android phones are now the second most popular handsets behind Research in Motion’s BlackBerry range. RIM’s devices accounted for 36 per cent of the US smartphone market in the first quarter of this year, says NPD Group, followed by Android-based phones with 28 per cent, and Apple’s iPhone with 21 per cent.

However, experts have pointed out that there are more than 30 phones available in the United State that run Android, the open-source mobile operating system backed by Google and a consortium of partners in the Open Handset Alliance. These include handsets from Motorola, HTC and Samsung.

By contrast, Apple’s current iPhone, the iPhone 3GS, is believed to be coming to the end of its life cycle, with Apple poised to unveil the so-called iPhone 4G at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco next month. Apple said it had sold more than 50 million iPhones worldwide since the device first went on sale in July 2007.

Mobile devices are a key battleground for consumer electronics companies, with many traditional “computer” manufacturers diversifying in to the market. HP recently acquired Palm, while Dell is launching a range of Android-based handsets.

“As in the past, carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role in determining smartphone market share,” said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis for NPD.

“Recent previews of BlackBerry 6, the recently announced acquisition of Palm by HP, and the pending release of Windows Phone 7 demonstrates the industry’s willingness to make investments to address consumer demand for smartphones and other mobile devices. Carriers continue to offer attractive pricing for devices, but will need to present other data-plan options to attract more customers in the future.”

Telstra and Optus revealed generous, pay-as-you-go internet plans for the Apple iPad this week that cut the price of mobile internet use by more than 90 per cent.

The announcements came before Apple began accepting pre-orders for the delayed and highly anticipated tablet computer yesterday.

Telstra’s iPad plans cut the price of mobile internet by as much as 92 per cent, while Optus bettered Telstra’s bid by offering twice the data allowance for the same price.

Under the iPad plans, 2GB of mobile downloads will cost as little as $20.

By comparison, Telstra currently offers a 1GB mobile phone internet pack for $39.

Also, both companies are offering iPad internet access on pay-as-you-go plans rather than in a 12 or 24-month contract.

The price cuts mean using an Apple iPad (priced from $629 to $1049) will be cheaper than using the smaller Apple iPhone.

Gartner research director Robin Simpson said he was surprised and mystified at the “aggressive pricing” from both leading phone carriers, but said it could be an attempt to be associated with Apple and the iPad.

“There’s no doubt it will be another iconic device like the iPhone, so maybe the thinking is that they’d like to have their brand associated with such a successful product and it’s simply a marketing exercise,” Mr Simpson said.

“Also, because it’s a data-only product, and has no voice component, this will represent getting new subscribers that they can report to their shareholders.”

While users will not be able to use the smaller Apple iPad SIM cards in other gadgets, Mr Simpson said the discounted internet plans could trickle down for use with other gadgets such as phones and laptop connections.

“It should put some downward pressure on other mobile internet plans and it certainly represents a good deal if you’re in the market for a mobile internet plan,” he said.

An Optus spokeswoman said the company would reveal more details of its iPad data plans this week, and Vodafone Hutchison spokeswoman Tess Mion said Vodafone and 3 Mobile would reveal iPad internet plans “soon”.

Apple has sold more than a million iPads since its April 3 US launch and will launch wi-fi and 3G models of the touchscreen tablet computer in Australia on May 28.
