The biggest and most anticipated releases from Apple since the original iPhone debuted happened this week when iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 (with iOS 6) rolled out on Wednesday and Friday, respectively.

In the June 2010 issue of eContent Magazine, Newstex president Larry Schwartz and a number of content publishing and technology professionals discussed the current state of mobile apps and the future of mobile content for business growth.

According to research company Gartner, more people will buy smartphones by 2012 than PCs (via Reuters). With that growth in smartphone purchases will come an even bigger growth in the development of mobile apps for those smartphones. In 18-months, smartphone owners downloaded over 3 billion apps from Apple’s App Store. Considering that sales of iPhones are expected to grow by 50% this year while sales of PCs are only expected to grow by 20%, Gartner’s predictions don’t seem too far off base.
Today, the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) announced the launch of its first mobile application for accessing social media content from SIIA and Authoritative Content from Newstex.
