In the past, we were using phones with limited features and functionalities. These phones had limited scopes for any kind of application. However, developers were still creating apps but not for complex computing tasks or enterprise-level operations as devices did not have enough hardware and processor power to support heavy computing.

But things now have completely changed with the rising trend of smartphones and tablet devices. Now these devices are capable of running any type of application; even heavier enterprise applications can also be run in today's smartphones and tablets.

Many users nowadays prefer to do almost all of their computing tasks on smartphone and similar hand-held devices. Businesses around the world have discovered the fact that in future, there would naturally be more users of smartphones and tablets than PCs, and thus they are taking the mobile platforms very seriously.

The rising popular and increasing adoption of mobile and mobile apps have certainly re-defined the meaning of application development ...
... for these devices. Developers are concentrating on designing and developing customer-oriented, features-rich applications that fit the expectations of a large user-base. They are designing a wide variety of apps, from entertainment to enterprise operations, to education, to data sharing. And many of these apps are available for free, or at a little cost.

Today's mobile application are delivering following features:

The best User Experience (UX)

We have witnessed manifold progress in mobile application development technology. They are now able to deliver excellent user experience. They just not handle complex operations but also deliver easy user-interface through which things can easily be managed and controlled. Earlier, mobile developers needed to compromise with UX for lots of reasons. This was the major reason behind the failure of many apps.

Authentication and Security

With rising popularity of smartphone, security risks are also rising. But users are learning from their own mistakes and have become more cautious while choosing and installing an app. Of course there are malicious applications but using them entirely depends on users. If they are little careful in installing apps, they can save their data and private information.

Performance

With new hardware, powerful processors, and prolong battery life, performance of devices have improved to a great extent. These devices are now capable of handling multiple applications in the same instant. Google's Android powered devices are capable of running more than one application simultaneously. New application development technologies, such as native, web and hybrid have been implemented for specific kind of computing requirements. With improved network connectivity, such as 3G and 4G LTE, performance of web and web application for mobile has also improved. A new kind of computing, the Cloud has been integrated to computing platform. And its most credit goes to rising adoption of mobile technology.
