Dislike the connected feel? Feel the wires snaking out from handheld devices bind you, ensnaring your freedom. This common feeling has become prevalent thanks to the popular acceptance of state-of-the-art handheld cellular devices that have evolved into hybrid entities providing a one stop solution to all requirements. Mobile application development has seen growth characterized by astounding leaps and bounds which has led to the conception of innovative applications and has provided ample opportunities to the offshore mobile application development arena.

A recent study has revealed that netizens have developed an addiction to living an online life connected at all times to the virtual world through their cellular phones. The most popular devices that users utilized to download myriad content and applications were the iPhone and the iTouch. Popular internet connected game consoles and Blu-ray players lost out to the sheer volume of users that the Apple devices belong to. Approximately around 75% of the users of Apple devices download software, music, videos, games and other web content as compared to around 19% of game console users and 17% of Blu-ray disk play owners. Downloadable web content was being downloaded by users aged 13 and above using their iPhone and iTouch devices. This speaks volumes of the kind of strides that iPhone application development is taking to introduce interesting applications that continue to keep users captivated. The early inception of the iTunes music store and the array of applications spewed forth by the global iPhone application development community are one of the reasons why the Apple iPhone and the iTouch enjoy such vast popularity. The most popular category of applications downloaded was the free category of the App Store. This study also revealed a few pointers that iPhone application development and mobile application development in general could follow. Gone is the era when niche applications with focus on specialized functions captured the user’s interest. This is the age of multi-functional apps that focus on a central theme and provide all related functions opening up areas for further business opportunities.

Apple’s share is sure to shrink in the future as newer devices would be launched that would drive the level of user cellular experience up a notch. And with offshore mobile application developmen gaining lost ground and rearing ahead laced with innovation, it would prove to be an impetus like none other. But till that day comes, the iPhone and iTouch owing to their popularity, user devotion and plain superior iPhone application development will continue to top the tables of cellular user experience and satisfaction.
