Taken from The Register:
'Mobile apps to earn $17bn by 2012
As Android crowds the iPhone
The market for mobile apps - be they for smartphones, less-capable "feature phones," or carry-alongs such as Apple's iPad - will swell to $17.5bn by 2012.
Or so says a study commissioned by a company with a vested interest in that growth, Getjar, the self-described "world's largest cross platform app store," with just under 850 million apps downloaded to date.
The world's largest single-platform app store is, of course, Apple's. Downloads from the iTunes Apps Store topped three billion at the beginning of this year, after hitting two billion last September and reaching one billion in April, a mere nine months after it was launched.
The impetus for the study was a simple one. "We wanted to find out the real value of the industry because we felt certain segments like the iPhone were being over-hyped and so-called feature phones were being under-hyped," Getjar founder and CEO Ilja Laurs report the BBC.
Those feature phones are central to Laurs' argument that downloads will surge from 7 billion in 2009 to 50 billion in 2012. "It is almost as if these phones don't exist," he told the BBC. "We know smartphones are an extremely important phenomenon, but in terms of consumer mindshare and revenue share, feature phones represent 90 per cent of the global market compared to 10 per cent for smartphones and data cards."
Laurs didn't immediately respond to our request for clarification as to what he meant by "data cards," but the 90 per cent figure remains compelling. That said, an inspection of Getjar's offerings show that the vast majority of apps for feature phones are either free or ad-supported.
Smartphone apps are where the profits lie. And a recent report by Canalys projects that 65.1 million smartphones will be sold in North America alone in 2010 - an increase of 38 percent from 2009's 47.2 million.
And those profitable smartphone apps will increasingly come from Google's Android Marketplace. Canalys projects that although RIM will remain the smartphone market leader in 2010, with growth of 20.5 per cent, and that Apple will remain in second place although enjoying a higher growth rate of 27.1 per cent, projected Android phone sales of 12.3 million phones will close in on Apple's 13.8 million, benefitting from a 169.2 per cent growth when compared with 2009's sales.
Of course, projections are merely educated guesses. And when projecting total mobile application sales figures, Apple's iPad is the wild card in the deck.
Feature phones may account for a high number of app downloads, but it's the app stores that serve BlackBerries, iPhones, iPads, Android phones - and, yes, also phones that run Palm's webOS, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7, or Symbian OS - that would suck up the bulk of that projected $17.5bn in 2012.'

Ya boet, I'm counting the sleeps..
Taken from the register today (this'll have mario salivating, LOL):
'First WiMAX phone to debut next week?
Sprint to punt HTC Supersonic
The first WiMAX-capable smartphone is said to be slated for introduction next week by Sprint Nextel.
The phone will be the widely rumored HTC Supersonic, according to a report in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal citing the ever-loquacious "people familiar with the matter".
The introductory honors will be borne by Sprint Nextel chief executive Dan Hesse at next week's CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas, Nevada, perhaps in a presentation during the The Path to 4G all-day session on Tuesday. Hesse is also expected to pump the Supersonic during his keynote presentation on Wednesday.
As The Reg has repeatedly reported, the race to 4G between WiMAX and LTE continues to accelerate. WiMAX may have a head start - Sprint partner Clearwire is busily building out its WiMAX network, with the goal of covering 120 million potential customers by the end of this year - but LTE is rapidly gaining support from such mobile-service heavyweights as AT&T, Verizon, Orange, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, and others.
Sprint is betting heavily on Clearwire. Witness not only its $7.4bn stake in a $14.5bn Clearwire joint venture in May of 2008, but also the additional $1.18bn it pumped into the company last November.
It can be argued that the introduction of the HTC Supersonic now - it had originally been rumored to appear later this year - is an effort to entice customers hungry for high-speed mobile broadband to sign long-term contracts before the LTE tsumani swamps the market late this year and into 2011.
If so, the Supersonic appears to be a good phone upon which to bet the farm - at least if leaked details turn out to be correct. The smartphone is reported to have a 4.3-inch 480x800 display, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor running the HTC Sense UI on top of Android 2.1, and to be equipped with such now-standard smartphone niceties as a touch interface, compass, accelerometer, Bluetooth, five-megapixel camera, and GPS.
We'll find out more next week - that is, if those "people familiar with the matter" prove to be correct.'
