Mobile strategy
• Web - You are here!
• Hybrid - Building Native Apps with ArcGIS API for JavaScript Using PhoneGap and JQuery
• Native - Building iOS Apps with ArcGIS Runtime SDK - Building Android Apps with ArcGIS Runtime SDK - Building Windows Store and Windows Phone Apps with ArcGIS Runtime SDK

Why you should care?

Pope Francis’ Debut
Why is mobile different?
• Never assume anything • Interactions are often short and focused
- (~20 – 30 seconds) • Minimize typing and input • Often exclusively touch based
Why is mobile different?
• Minimal screen real estate • Hardware and OS change rapidly • Mobile value chain • Many want same access as desktop • App life-span varies, must be easy and intuitive
Know your geographic region
• Global device market is misleading • Each country is really its own device market • Demographics, cultural differences, disposable income
Know your audience
• Web Analytics Software • Collect your own User/Agent data • Use collected data: StatCounter, NetMarketShare, Akamai

Form Factors
Differentiation / Fragmentation
• Device lifecycle • Device default browser • OS updates • Mobile Value Chain
Closing thoughts
• Never assume anything • Start testing today • Focus on trends rather than tiny stats • Start collecting your own data • Sales market share < install base < browser market share
