This has given a churn birth of more than 300,000 mobile applications in just over three years.

Now, a latest report from IDC has revealed that such trend will continue with multi-fold acceleration as developers are forming such activities into a nurtured business model. Sensing the growth of mobile devices, companies have already started practicing towards mobile applications development.
