You Name it, There is an App for it....


  The wonderful world of apps have grown to be more than 400,000 in Apple's online store and 250,000 in Google's Android market. This is very remarkable as you are able to find applications on your smartphone, computer tablet, and even computer that can take you through a wide variety of everyday needs and wants. The markets have untapped potential to the way we conduct our lives on and offline, with many avenues for Education or the act of needing to learning something new standing out as the biggest opportunity. For example, there are more than a few apps that educate like Rosetta Stone, TED, Cnet, that are widely used by smartphone users. One of the best apps that I have seen was Google Body, which I happened to be checking out while waiting to see a doctor. This app allowed me to navigate and search a detailed 3D model of the human body, which was very helpful as the doctor terms can sometimes be quite confusing.


  The app markets are so plentiful that they feel more like a google search when looking for new apps for education, entertainment or whatever you want. Having such a reputation for being used and searched whether on Apple or Android network compared to the many smart phones that now or will be upgraded to in the future, apps will become a lifeline for many. New to offer apps on their network, Amazon app store for Android which adds more apps that brings a liaison between your computer and your smartphone. There has been a early adoption on apps on the computer by Apple as they have had an app market for their computer for some time now. Further confirming the use and need of most to get their technology time at home or on the go.


  By 2015, market research firm In-Stats expects app downloads to come close to eclipsing 48 billion. That’s a healthy figure in an increasingly crowded app market.
