“The Internet changed everything. Mobile will be the Internet on steroids. And the mobile revolution hasn’t even begun yet.“
“Thousands of apps are available via iTunes, and a smaller number on Google’s Marketplace, though Englesma said that will surge as the Android system — used on Google’s new phone, among others — grows in use.”
