2. What’s an App? Mobile application is software designed to run on smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile devices. –“app phones”, not just smartphones Available through application distribution platforms, which are typically operated by the owner of the mobile operating system, such as the –Apple App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store and BlackBerry App World Some apps are free, while others have a price. –Apple - App Store has 650,000 available apps to download as well as "an astounding 30 billion apps" downloaded from the app store, Tim Cook 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_app
