From what I can tell after the little iPhone boomlet subsided there's not a whole lot of money in mobile apps. How many minecrafts are there, really, out there?

There is a market in developing mobile software as part of a general mobile platform. Making the mobile app for salesforce.com and what not. Also a good majority of smartphone users don't really pick up on the apps and are starting to get more into customizing their cellphone and what not, there is a wave on the horizon of smart phone users using their phones more and getting apps and what not.

The money in mobile apps sold through the app store to the general public, might be subsiding. But I believe the money in industry specific, in house apps designed to run on tablet like devices of various sizes is just starting to pick up.

Mobile is no longer a gold rush where you can get money for putting out any random crap, but, there is still plenty of money to be made.
