The touch screen has grown and it has grown by such magnitude that it has altered the basic computing patterns of both personal as well as business computing spheres. While touch screens have put Apple and Google and many other firms on top, companies like Microsoft with Legacy software have dwindled to catch on. The windows RT tablet was good but it failed to accomplish its task it was made for. At this moment of time when the corporate is doing away with Blackberry devices allowing personal mobile devices to serve enterprise data; a lot of apprehension is seen in the horizon of computing.The dilemma between apps and conventional computing
A decade ago while the corporate basked under the light of Microsoft’s proprietary software things have changed a lot after the iPhone entered the market. Touch screens have redefined the computing experience. A number of aspects have leveraged the experience while some are still in the rudimentary stages. For example, while the mobility of these devices coupled with robust connectivity and touch experience have made them great; other aspects of legacy software which have cognitively carved their places in our minds. For example, using MS word and typing with a keypad is still preferred over creating documents through any particular mobile application. Android app development experts, who have been working behind such apps, also affirm that there are aspects of conventional software that are still hard to match in the touch screen.
Where would it go from here?
Android app development India says that there has been a significant increase in the app development requests over the last year. Apps are here to stay as android and iPhone devices are evolving in their hardware configuration. However at this moment it is seen that both the consumer and the corporate has switched to a 50-50 model when it comes to app vs. the legacy software. According to a recent data released by Forrester it has been suggested that while mobile devices including the iPad will see a lot of sales, conventional PCs will shrink at the end of the year. iPhone and Android app development experts do consider the advantages of the conventional software but also admit that brand new ways of computing will evolve from the touch screen itself.
It might turn out that a certain section of apps will enter into that zone of becoming legacy proprietary software. It might be the existing or new players’ altogether.
