Mobile Web: Are the Days of Fixed-line Internet Numbered?
Are the days of browsing the Web through conventional fixed-line PC or laptop are numbered? It is too early to say but looking at the number of internet-enabled smartphones and tablets selling like hotcakes, the days are not far when mobile web will eventually nudge out conventional ways of using the Internet. Experts claim that with current growth rate, mobile web access is likely to exceed conventional browsing from desktops and laptops within five years.
However, there are many obstacles to get over before the mobile web gains widespread acceptance. As of 2012, the mobile web garners only a little over 12% of the total web traffic. Limitations include the device itself. Most of the mobile sizes are too small to afford a good viewing experience. However, large screen modern smartphones and tablets such as the iPhone and iPad are trying to overcome that problem. Speed is another issue that needs to be addressed.
Apart from the small screen size and internet speed, other difficulties include the lack of effortless navigation and multiple windows. However, the iPhone app developer community is working overnight to develop applications that can make mobile web more accessible and usable. A top-level domain (TLD), .mobi has been sponsored by the like of Google, Samsung, Nokia, Microsoft, Vodafone and others exclusively for accessing mobile internet resources via the mobile web.
Technology has the uncanny habit of coming up with breakthroughs whenever there are problems. The mobile web may be facing difficulties now. The days are not far when we will be able to view a large (visible to user only but invisible to others) screens in front of our eyes viewed with the help of special glasses.
In the meanwhile, if one is the user of the iPhone or iPad, there are thousands of apps developed and being developed by the iPhone application developer community worldwide, making a great user experience through mobile cloud computing. If you hire iPhone App Developer, he or she can create apps that can be placed on remote servers and then sent to the users. We are already having the benefits of iPhone apps development in shape of mobile banking, blogging, ticketing, news, music, marketing, texting, push email as well as mobile health and mobile commerce.
With around 10 billion dollars of paid music downloads and 5 billion dollars worth of other internet services, the future of the mobile web is safe, secure and bright.
