The app revolution: the biggest market in the history of the planet

By Cody Willard, Aug 8, 2010, Android App News

When you find the single largest target market in the history of the planet, it’s time to get excited — perhaps even consumed by apps. I’ve certainly been obsessed with all things apps since I started looking at the growth ahead and the ultimate size of a market that will entail billions of people using trillions of apps.

Seriously, those are real numbers.

And as for those publicly-traded plays on the app revolution, you really do have to do is look at Google and Apple as the purest ways to get involved.

Nokia and its Symbian OS are also going to be huge, but unlike Google’s Android and Apple’s iPhone, Symbian’s got to be defending its current outsized global marketshare. RIMM and Softee and Palm, are going to see big growth too, but I think we’ll looking at three primary platforms in five or ten years from now.

Billions of people, trillions of apps, and un-count-able app transacactions, interactions, and entertainments and games played…there are going to be a lot of winners and a lot of money to be made by those winners.

Disclosure: I hold positions in Google, Apple, and Research in Motion.
