Have you heard of these mobile apps?

Mobile Apps that will soon be popular. While the world is focused on the What’s App and the Facebook, and some on You Tube as being the most popular mobile apps, there have been other apps that have grown in wide acceptance first in their country of origin and then to the rest of the world.

Here is a list of such apps that you may have not heard of as yet, but soon will be exposed to thanks to their growing popularity.
