mobile enterprise apps continue to be brightspot in the technology industry

As reported by InfoWorld and many others, Evans Data just announced their survey of 400 commercial app developers which shows that “94 percent of corporate developers expect development of wireless enterprise applications to either increase or stay the same in the coming year”. And this is all against the backdrop of the stunning complexity and fragmentation that mobile app development is subject to without a framework like Rhodes. One of the most interesting points of the article is how much things are moving to a more diverse and fragmented set of device operating systems:

Market adoption of Windows Mobile remained flat, with 33 percent targeting it as opposed to 31 percent in the mid-2008 survey. Apple’s iPhone jumped in the survey from 8 percent eyeing it six months ago to 20 percent in the new survey…Google’s Android rose to 18 percent in the new survey after registering with 7.5 percent of developers in the last survey.
