Why Mobile end app rise

Absrtact: Chris Dixon provides two data on its TUMBLR: one, the trend curve for the number of users on the desktop and mobile: second, the web and APP usage on the mobile side is often contrasted: the web is fading on the mobile side, and such changes can result in

Chris Dixon provides such two data on its TUMBLR:

First, the number of users on the desktop and the mobile end of the trend curve:

Second, the mobile end of the Web and App use is often compared:

The WEB is fading on the mobile side, and the result is that companies are increasingly focused on app promotion, and will try to push apps when they open mobile web sites on the mobile side.

This situation will make the Web become a kind of base product in the mobile end, its function is:

users can use the Web to try and understand products that carry long tail content (such as the content of Twitter or Facebook feeds) before the APP is officially downloaded

In the long term, the weakening of the Web at the mobile end and the strength of the App on the mobile side can be detrimental to innovation because:

App has the obvious "rich richer" effect, only a small number of apps can stay in the main screen, these popular apps are exposed, attention, be used more, make more, so there is more money to do channels and promotion. These apps, like hot TV stations or channels, belong to the first echelon, get most of the resources and attention, others belong to second, and so on, even no attention.

The app is controlled by the app Store. Take Google Play and the app Store for example, Google and Apple behind the scenes decide which apps to go on, what not, how your app should do, what apps will be recommended, and how much revenue they will take as a platform for 30%.

Worse, the platform will even purge a particular category of apps without the cleanup. (such as Apple in Bitcoin wallet). The idea of many startups is very subversive and controversial, and the open Internet makes it possible for developers of companies such as Google, Youtube, EBay and Paypal to be created without the permission of a similar app Store. And now, with the mobile-end people's attention being sucked by App, and the WEB is fading, innovation can become relatively difficult.

I basically agree with Chris Dixon and, for what he says, I have two points of view:

I'm a bitcoin player and I don't currently have Android devices, so I think it's hard to make Bitcoin transactions on the mobile side of the Apple ecosystem. The browser is in my phone and is placed in a very inconspicuous position. I only have very few circumstances to open it, most of the time, because of the click of a link in the App, automatically jump past.
