Mobile apps losing their lustre?

While just-released survey data from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project suggests the app revolution may not be as revolutionary as Apple and Google would like us to believe, apps aren't going to disappear from our smartphones and tablets anytime soon. The rapid transition from basic voice- and text-only feature phones to smartphones means more users are now capable of downloading and using apps. About 42 per cent of adults in the U.S. now have phones with apps on them, almost double the 22 per cent recorded in September 2009. Despite the rising numbers, the majority of smartphone users — 68 per cent — tend to open five or fewer apps at least once a week. About 17 per cent don't use any apps at all.
