Mobile applications are of high demand among the mobile users

As the huge market for the iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, and the Windows Mobile applications heats up, more and more of the companies are particularly diverting most of their focus and their major part of the investments towards that “next big mobile app idea”. Here are the five most important points of the mobile application development.

1. Business Case: If you have an idea that could make in to a good mobile application, you should first research if another application on the same idea which already exist. It is crucial to determine how you can very effectively differentiate and improvise your idea in the best possible way. Understand if there is a major need for the application that you plan to develop. Besides validating your concept, assess if developing that application is a perfect fit for your business strategies, direction, and if you will be able to recoup the investment in to developing this particular application. Android application development is very much in vogue and as there are millions who use the android smart phones across the globe.

2. Target Audience: Whether you are developing the application for your internal business use, use by the other businesses, or use by the individual consumers, you should have a good understanding of who your target audience is. That will probably help making the design and the technology decisions for your application in a much better manner. If you are targeting the global audience, you may also have to consider making your mobile application multi-lingual if required.

3. Technology Selection: With the mobile client applications, you cannot develop a single application that can particularly run on all of the mobile platforms. Each of the mobile platforms is different from each other and run only the applications that are developed on the specific technologies. So if you can develop an iPhone application, you cannot run the same application on the Android, Blackberry, or the Windows Mobile platforms. That is why it is crucial that before beginning application development, you select an appropriate mobile platform for your application. If your plan includes developing the application for the multiple mobile platforms, ensure that you architect your application properly to considerably reduce the initial and ongoing development efforts and the costs. Most importantly, it is to be determined if you really need to develop a mobile client applications which are most platform specific or a mobile website / web application which are more universal and could run on all the smart phones.

4. Timing: When there are thousands of businesses trying to tap in to the booming mobile applicationsmarket, it is very critical that you move forward with your mobile development project in a timely manner.

5. Pricing: Just like any other product, you need to ensure that the price for your mobile application is perfectly right. Research on the price of other similar apps, determine how valuable is your application going to be for the various consumers, and figure out your total cost of the ownership for the building, launching, and also maintaining your application.
