Gartner expects the total user base of consumer LBSs to reach 1.4 billion users by 2014. 2.Social Networking:Social network platforms are absorbing the increasing amount of network traffic. Among the 19 apps tracked by Gartner, this app is the most sought after and fastest growing.

For example, they could make a call or reservation, buy a ticket or place an order. 4.Mobile-commerce:Unique mobile functions could be 'check in' to a store to tell a retailer you're there, or adding items into a shopping cart by taking a photo of the item for its bar code in the physical store. Amazon already sports such a function where users can use an iPhone to scan a bar code and order a book via the online retail giant. |
