Summary

The year 2010 was when mobile application development began crossing the chasm from early adopters to mainstream application development shops.

Our data shows that mobile developers are already supporting native applications on multiple platforms and that it's likely to get more complicated as tablets join mobile phones as new development targets.

Make sure such a mobile initiative is part of your plans (and budget) for 2011.
