The increasing adoption of mobile applications as part of a company’s online services leads to the question of whether we need to monitor it like other parts of our IT infrastructure. As they are part of our shipped application services we need to ensure they are working properly. However, not every application must be monitored the same way. In addition, monitoring always comes at a certain cost. We need people to take care of the monitoring, we have to prepare our applications to be ready for monitoring and we potentially also have to buy or at least integrate new monitoring tools. Before talking about how we have to monitor them we need to figure out whether and how much to invest in monitoring. As with classical applications, not every application is worth the effort of detailed production monitoring. An obvious decision criterion is business value. If the cost of monitoring exceeds the business value or if no specific requirements for uptime exist, then we shouldn’t invest in monitoring – at least not beyond basic monitoring.

One thing that most people and technical loggers seem to agree on, along with more internal memory for running of programs and a faster processor is a thinner design and new innovative features such as the use of NFC (Near Field Communication). Yes still speculation until the time the next iPhone will be announced, which will probably be in June at Apple's WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference), but worth talking about in advance.
