businesses and individuals to create personalized apps for
multiple platforms and devices. In the following, appsbar
discusses mobile applications.

3. Mobile applications are software applications designed for
use on handheld devices such as tablet computers and
smartphones. Often, the applications can also run on non-
handheld devices such as desktop computers and laptops.
Mobile applications are commonly referred to as “apps.”
In 2010, the American Dialect Society chose “apps” as
Word of the Year.

4. Currently, a wide range of mobile operating systems utilize
mobile apps, including iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, HP
webOS, Blackberry, and Symbian OS. Each individual platform
maintains an integrated development environment that allows
software developers to create, test, and distribute apps.
Initially, apps primarily served practice functions, enabling
mobile devices to offer contact databases, email services, and
calendars. Today, apps are created to serve any number of
functions, including gaming, music playback, PGS, order-
tracking, banking, and much more. Beyond personal use, apps
have become an integral aspect of business. A recent poll by
AT&T indicates that 72 percent of small businesses use a mobile
app.
