Mobile Enterprise Application market worth $3.5B by 2010
IDC estimates that the MEA market will reach a yearly revenue of $3.5 billion by 2010 (from $1.2 billion 2005) in a newly released report on the subject.
IDC means all involved in making applications and services for enterprises (you know who you are) need to add mobile functionality to their services, to satisfy future user needs.
Update: Note that MEA doesn't necessarily mean access from mobile phones. E.g. SAP's Mobile Time and Travel runs on a PC. The mobile functionality consists of being able to work offline as well as online, but information about the SAP Mobile Infrastructure indicates also a mobile phone could be used as UI to the SAP services, not that I've found any such application offered by SAP.
