We are entering a period where some mobile apps are more popular than their initial desktop version

Google has announced that Google Maps for mobile has 200 M users worldwide and growing quickly. While it represents now 40% of Google Maps users, Google predicts that in the next month there will be more mobile users of Google Maps than desktop users. According to Google's VP Marissa Mayer: "Desktop apps will be important but maps on the phone that knows … where you are and where you’re going is a killer app”.

The growth of SoLoMO is coming fast: Social, localisation and mobile.
