Although the reason has been discussed many times and multiple articles can be found on the same topic all over the internet, let us take a look at the obvious answers to place the base of this article and our arguments. For that we must understand the relation between cloud technology and mobile apps in a detailed way.
Mobile cloud computing plans have greatly helped the Smartphone of this era which come loaded with so many features that it wouldn’t be a farfetched idea to call them a computer in your pocket. Although mobile cloud technology has been around for a quite a few time now, the way it is being adopted all over the places is something new. When the mobile devices, which have a limited space and more importantly, limited source of power, are freed from data storage and data processing tasks, they perform a thousand times better. This is something great, for the mobile users and also for the mobile phone manufacturers. Mobile users especially, turning
to mobile cloud technology for a better performance.
Cloud based mobile device support systems aid the mobile application developers as much as the end users. With cloud computing is always there to support the users on the go, there is no need to make the phone heavy with different backend applications needed to run the favorite front end application.
As the cloud based application support system is a highly developed technology and the storage is shared between many parties, the users benefit from a lot less expenses. This can be said about the developers as well. They too, save a great deal by placing the support architecture on the cloud. The cloud based applications and updated and upgraded automatically and with a great speed, a feature which is synonymous with the cloud technology.
The prospect of cloud computing looks very bright to the application developers for mainly two reasons, the cost which we mentioned above and also for the market size which is exploding in fact. The browsers, both mobile and pc based, are so advanced now that many features can be performed right inside a browser without considering the handicaps which are put down there by the mobile operating system, The mobile users of today are having great browsers in their phones and that means the developers can develop freely. By freely we mean that they can develop just one browser based application which can run with equal compatibility in every
operating system.
The cost of developing and marketing new applications has and will reduce drastically when cloud technology is used. It is due to the reason we mentioned above. The developers can develop just one application and those can run in every Smartphone, irrespective of the mobile operating system. There is another advantage. As the applications will be cloud based, the designers will not need to put them in the Apple App Store or Google Play or Windows Store. This means the developers will get all the revenue the app generates and this means the app will be better and updated more quickly as the developers will be able to invest in them from the
earned revenue.
Presently there are a few obstacles in the way of this wonderful technology. Firstly, peopleoften perceive that the cloud is not regulated or scrutinized and thus cloud is unsafe. More involvement, which obviously will come gradually, will help people to remove this perception. The other problem, which is more prominent in developing and under-developed countries, that cloud applications will not perform smoothly where the network signal is fluctuating. As networks are gradually overcoming this problem and becoming more reliable, this problem can be worked out in near future. Thus, we can see there is bright future waiting for us with all the advantages we wish for, for the developers, the mobile users and the mobile phone hardware manufacturers, in the shape of cloud computing for mobile. There are a few glitches of course but as we can see, they can be corrected easily and soon. It would only be apt to expect a major swing in favor of mobile cloud technology from the traditional way in very near future.
