Some 55 percent of respondents anticipate that development for mobile devices will eclipse development for PCs and servers. That includes devices such as the Apple iPhone and Google Android handsets, as well as tablet PCs like the Apple iPad and BlackBerry PlayBook made by Research In Motion.

Massive Shift of Software Development in Enterprise to Mobile
By 2015, software development in the enterprise space will have shifted "massively" to mobility, according to the 2010 IBM Corp. Tech Trends Survey. The online query of 2,000 IT developers and specialists across 87 countries highlights the need by enterprises to build applications that take advantage of mobile technologies.
Some 55 percent of respondents anticipate that development for mobile devices will eclipse development for PCs and servers. That includes devices such as the Apple iPhone and Google Android handsets, as well as tablet PCs like the Apple iPad and BlackBerry PlayBook made by Research In Motion.

Cloud-Based Services Will be Lead by Enterprises for Next 5 Years
It is highly likely that enterprises will drive most of the $9.5 billion in cloud-based mobile applications that Juniper Research believes will be bought by 2014, but consumer revenues are likely to overtake enterprise-generated revenues after five years.
Juniper Research predicts that enterprise applications will account for the majority of revenues over the next five years, with businesses increasingly seeking to capitalize on platform services that will be used to provide scalable, flexible data storage solutions and device agnostic, synchronised office services.
But consumer-oriented apps will comprise an ever-larger proportion of total revenues over time, derived both from time-based subscriptions to services such as mobile online gaming and advertising from cloud-based social networks.
While the onset of a cloud-based ecosystem may further erode the strength of the mobile operator-to-customer relationship, cloud computing offers operators the opportunity to develop new revenues streams as well.

25% of Business Apps to be Created by Amateurs, Gartner Says
By 2014, citizen developers will build at least 25 percent of new business applications, according to Gartner analysts. If that is shocking, consider the amount of Web content now freely contributed to Wikipedia or many of your favorite blogs, microblogging sites and YouTube.
Gartner defines a citizen developer as a user operating outside of the scope of enterprise IT and its governance that creates new business applications for consumption by others either from scratch or by composition.
"Future citizen-developed applications will leverage IT investments below the surface, allowing IT to focus on deeper architectural concerns, while end users focus on wiring together services into business processes and workflows," says Eric Knipp, Gartner senior research analyst.
Better technology has also lowered the bar for becoming a developer, while at the same time, users have become less intimidated by technology, empowering citizen developers to do more than they ever could before, Knipp says. Y
"The bottom line lies in encouraging citizen developers to take on application development projects that free IT resources to work on more complex problems," Knipp says.
"Citizen development skills are suited for creating situational and departmental applications like the ones often created in Excel or Access today," he says.

Robust Enterprise Social Networking
If ChangeWave Research is correct, wikis, blogs and social networking are being adopted by corporations at an explosive rate.
ChangeWave Research recently surveyed 2,081 companies and found 24 percent already using social software, while eight percent say they will start using it within a year. Wikis apparently are used by 20 percent of respondents, blogs by 18 percent, social networking by 15 percent, says Joshua Levine, ChangeWave researcher.
While current users find wikis to be most useful, future adopters think blogs (26 percent) and social networks (21 percent) will be most beneficial.
About 39 percent report their company is very or somewhat willing to use Web 2.0 social software for business purposes.
Current users say they use social networking to improve internal employee collaboration as well as to increase internal efficiency and productivity.
Users who say their firms will be adopting social networking also agree about the merits of internal communications, but also are more focused on using the tools to
improve external customer service and support, increase brand awareness and loyalty
and drive sales of products and services.

Mobility, SaaS, Laszlo, Google, et al
As work and workers become more mobile, enterprises are starting to use more Web-delivered applications. As that starts to happen, Web-based desktops and productivity suites are going to make more sense. Enter Laszlo and the Laszlo Webtop, referred to as a Web 2.0 Desktop. Laszlo Webtop has developed bundled solutions for three target markets: service providers, enterprises and developers.
Laszlo Webtop for Service Providers comes bundled with Laszlo Mail and Contacts and supports customized Web portals. Laszlo Webtop for Enterprises comes bundled with Contacts and optional Laszlo Mail.
Meanwhile, the Laszlo Webtop SDK for Developers offering is a software development kit allowing developers build their own Webtop solutions compliant with the Webtop.
This just makes sense. If one is going to build a distributed applications architecture assuming broadband access, then assuming a Web-based desktop also makes sense.
