Doing research this week I found a report discussing who utilizes apps on cellphones. The first question needing to be answered was, "What exactly is considered an app?"

There isn't a clear cut definition, it all depends on who you are talking to. Since I picked this report to do a survey on, I needed to know what it was asking so I could answer questions from my applicants. Most of them were not sure themselves what an app was and whether they had it on their phone. If they did have it on their phone it was because the phone came with the app. I have discovered that apps can be addictive, like finding the next cool thing or the best way to entertain your friends. The best apps tend to be ones that are free (because who wants to spend money.) Some people will spend money on apps, but it tends to be as a result of a true need and not just a whim.
Even car makers are getting into the business of apps. OnStar and General Motors will be offering an app in 2011.
As technology grows our cellphone is no longer utilized mostly for making phone calls but as a hand-held computer, ask students at Harvard.
