Mobile Trends
Gartner’s top 10 consumer applications to watch in 2012 include:
 Location-based services (LBSs). Location is one of the main enablers
that deliver services to users based on their context and Gartner
expects the total user base of consumer LBSs to reach 1.4 billion
users by 2014.
 Social networking. Mobile social networking is the fastest-growing
consumer mobile app category of the 19 tracked by Gartner. Social
network platforms are sucking in increasing amounts of network
traffic.
 Mobile search. Visual search is usually related with product search to
enable price comparisons or to check product information.
 Mobile commerce. Gartner expects the emergence of uniquely
mobile functions, such as the ability to "check in" to a store to alert a
retailer that you are there, or the ability to add items to a shopping
cart simply by taking a photo of an item or bar code in the physical
store.
 Mobile payment. In order to get consumers on board, payment
solution providers need to address ease-of-use for users and ease-ofimplementation for customers without compromising security.
