The importance of smartphones and tablets over the past few years has not only been due to the evolution of phone calls, text messaging and browsing, but also the ability to attract smart applications that serve consumers and provide them with all kinds of communication, technical experts said.
Experts stress that users suspended their phone applications to the point of addiction, which led to the possession of more than a smartphone without the need to, and incurred losses by paying large amounts for the acquisition of these applications and additional benefits paid.
The technology blogger said Thursday that smart phones will lose their value without their applications. There is a great diversity of operating systems. For example, Android, IOS and BlackBerry 10 are differentiated by the smart applications available in their stores, the amount of support for developers and the application industry environment, Some may prefer a system interface to another system, but the services and features of the system are limited in contrast to applications that often provide services that facilitate the user's daily life and not a routine form is not changeable as operating systems.
A study conducted by Apigee, a company specializing in the manufacture of software interfaces for applications, that 82 percent of the study can not do without the applications, even for one day only.
He pointed out that the reason for the rapid changes in the market for smart phone applications is the same reason for the speed of the transformation of people from the owners of SR to one million riyals in the time period is extraordinary, the idea and content and content, has entered the developers of Arab applications to the challenge in the field of application development can compete where they At first, they were struggling to enter this competition, but we should not think that way. The Arab environment is different from the West. The current opportunity is how to serve our environment in a way that suits us to make life easier for Arab users. "
For his part, technical expert Saud Al-Hawawi said that the speed of the changes in the smartphone application market is very natural. This is due to the development of phones in recent years, which have not only limited calls, but have provided the user with communication of all kinds. They provide a variety of services such as drawing, business follow-up and social networking, which makes the transformation we see very logical.
"Applications are diverse in terms of the user community. The business sector has a lot of applications that provide it with the end and follow-up, and provide solutions to help accomplish its own tasks. In the younger generation, we have many social networking, networking, chatting, And the amendment, and finally in the children's generation, we find that the games take a large part in this generation with the existence of applications specialized in education and education for the people ».
"Users are becoming addicted to addiction. Unfortunately, the user does not like to lose his phone or lose contact with the outside world, so we find it always associated with the applications he uses on his smartphone. Some people have more than one phone and a lot of money to buy applications, Especially the children. Now, unfortunately, they are integrating with applications and games on their phones and tablets in a big and harmful way at the same time. The child takes many hours to play the device and leave the traditional games useful to him.
"If a phone does not provide special applications, it will not be classified as a smart phone and therefore lose its value," he said. "The absence of applications, services and advanced technologies such as high-quality imaging and touch screen make the device completely worthless, A large market, in the countries of Africa and South East Asia and some Arab countries are frequent use of these phones and classified by ordinary phones, and simply because the absence of advanced technologies and applications makes the value much less than the value of the smartphone, some of the new phones found in the new market does not exceed Price is 300 r But the smart phones are ranging between 1,000 and 3,000 rials and the same thing applies to tablet devices.
In a related study, a study by Apigee, which manufactures applications interfaces, that 82 percent of those surveyed can not dispense with applications, even for one day only.
Fifty-three per cent of the respondents admitted that they were not exempt from their applications even while driving, despite the consequences they might face.
The most popular applications that users need are e-mail browsing applications at 57 percent, followed by Facebook with 41 percent, followed by the application of the alarm clock at 31 percent.
