 “The smartphone revolution has provided an unprecedented opportunity to app developers: the ability to literally deliver innovation into the hands of hundreds of millions of consumers was almost unimaginable just a few short years ago. With that opportunity comes responsibility: to those consumers, to whom we owe a debt of understanding and appreciation for fundamental issues such as privacy and security; and to ourselves, to remember our roots and stand united in an industry where we once had no standing. The Application Developers Alliance provides the platform for that unity, and we are proud to be part of it.”
