Gartner, Inc., the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, reports mobile phone sales grew 35 percent in third quarter 2010; while Smartphone sales increased 96 percent!  Mobile application development is one of the fastest growing businesses in the world and in September 2010, Mashable/Mobile reported that 1 in 4 U.S. adults now use mobile apps.
