11 Mobile trends for 2011

"Mobile will start to become part of every business' marketing and distribution strategy in 2011,"  said Kunal Gupta, CEO of Polar Mobile. "That's where we all spend our time and brands, marketers and publishers will want to capture that opportunity."

According to a report by Polar Mobile, they are 11 major mobile trends to watch out for in 2011:
  • "Your mobile strategy will go beyond the iPhone and iPad
  • Android fragmentation will be a major challenge

  • Social will differentiate the mobile app experience
  • Mobile exclusive brands and content will have success
