Projection of the Day: Mobile App Market Size
Read Write Web reports that the mobile app marketplace across 13 current app stores is likely to exceed $17.5 billion. While I’m not inclined to trust a study promoted by GetJar and performed by an “independent consulting firm” I’ve never heard of, RWW reassures us that the estimate lines up with previous estimates by other, more big name firms.
Estimates aren’t reality. But even at a lower figure, we shouldn’t forget that, at the dawn of mobile computing, software is already a big, and rapidly growing business.
