Mobile Software Development - 2008 to 2011 @ MoMo Tallinn 11.04.11
Sven Kirsimäe worked in mobile software development from 2008 to 2011. During this period, the market share of iOS increased by 30% while Symbian declined by 20%. Smartphones made up around 25% of total mobile traffic worldwide in 2008, with iPhone traffic accounting for around 25% of smartphone traffic. By 2011, tablets had emerged as a new form factor with around 40 models on the market, while mobile cloud computing and the challenges of 3G network overload led to the development of 4G networks. Estonia saw the rise of disruptive technologies like Skype's mobile client and the increased adoption of e-voting and mobile ID from 2007 to 2011.

Editor's Notes
- #3 The Dark Ages (2000-2004) – APIs from phones, monetization by operators.The Renaissance period (2005-2009) – smartphones, appstores (API is not enough), iconic product experience, opensource displacementThe Industrial Revolution era (2010-2014) – verticalization of top companies continue, consolidation of mobile OS big players, RTOS will become a legacy and replaced by lightweight versions of OS providers, new diverse set of formfactors emerge, developers can now act more independently from operators.

- #13 Rich media - web, apps, download content, mobile InternetUS media subscirbers higher – better 3G coverage + flat dataplans + bigger country :P to support all thisEU5= UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain
- #15 JavaME 3000 – Success defined in 2005iPhone 225000 – Success defined in 2010One of the major disparities is between the device installed base and the number ofapps per platform. One would expect that the platforms deployed on the largestnumber of devices would have the biggest number of applications. This couldn’t befurther away from the truth. For example, Java ME is available on around threebillion handsets, but the platform can boast less than half of the apps available for themuch younger Android, shipped in only 20 million devices as of the end of the secondhalf of 2010. Similarly, the Symbian operating system is deployed in around 390million handsets (end of first half of 2010), and claims over 6,000 apps, while Apple’siOS has achieved 30x more apps over just 60M units.
- #16 Developer bias. - across all eight major mobile platforms we surveyed, respondents felt that the best aspect of their platform was the large market penetration, even if the actual market penetration was relatively small.Learning curve and efficiency. The learning curve varies greatly across mobile platforms. Counted in multipliersMarket channels - Operator portals and ondevice preloading through OEM or operator deals is the primary channel to market for fewer than five percent of mobile developers surveyed. Our findings show that developers resort to either ‘native’ app stores, or to direct download via their own websitesDiscovery bottleneck. - lack of effective marketing channels to increase application exposure and discovery. Moreover, half of respondents are willing to pay for premium app store placement.Role of operators. Mobile developers view network operators as bit-pipes. Nearly 80 percent of respondents think that the role of network operators shouldbe to deliver data access anywhere/anytime, while only 53 percent considered their role to be delivering voice calls.Mobile web fragmentation:~60 different versions; ~12 vendors
