Study: Developers Testing Games, Entertainment Apps on iPad – BusinessWeek

Posted by DavidCao01 on March 19, 2010

by Douglas MacMillan, Business Week

Some software makers have been lucky enough to get their hands on Apple’s iPad weeks before its April release, people tell Bloomberg BusinessWeek. What kinds of apps are they building?

Games are the focus, judging by the recent activity of software developers monitored by Flurry Analytics:

Flurry_iPad_AppsTestingByCategory.png

The chart above shows the proportion of iPad apps being created for each category in the iTunes App Store by developers who are testing on the actual devices. Flurry, a popular provider of analytics software for mobile applications, tracked the number of programs using its software on the tablet and divvied them up by category.

Games are the predominant type of app being tested on the iPad, making up 44% of the total. Entertainment, which Apple has generally defined as videos and novelties like lava lamp apps, take second with 14%. Social networking programs made up 7% of the total, followed by sports, travel, lifestyle, and utilities.

The data is not a comprehensive look at all the apps that will be available for the iPad shortly after its launch, since it does not account for the apps being built on an iPad simulator, which Apple invites anyone to download for a nominal fee.

Meet with ExtendLogic CEO at Mobile Forum: App Stores and Discovery by Telecomcouncil

Posted by BeyondSoftConsulting on March 17, 2010
App Stores were the big story for 2009, and growth and interest in that sector is sure to continue through 2010. But there are definite fractures in the generic app store’s foundations. The developers of mobile content are increasingly voicing growing dissatisfaction over likely obscurity, hyper-competition, shrinking margins, and that same bug-bear once again – fragmentation.

Research from one Telecom Council member reveals no fewer than 44 app stores emerged since 20083Q, with at least 7 more coming in 2010Q1. This leaves us with some questions to address:

  • What are the considerations for the app store operators (the carriers, handset vendors, OS makers, portals, etc.) as they try to carve themselves out a piece of this role?
  • Is it about revenue, or is it ownership of the relationship?
  • Can the industry possibly support this many storefronts?
  • What role does application discovery play?
  • Does discovery take place within a store, per the Amazon sales models, or across stores, per the Google search models?
  • Are there social networking solutions that can help sort through the 100,000+ apps out there?

For developers, a brief trend towards homogeneity has been halted, and tough decisions once again loom about the best path to market, getting noticed, and which app stores are most promising. What factors should developers be demanding of their channels? Are there differences between enterprise and consumer, between large and small ISVs? So many questions. At this meeting, you can learn best practices for answering them, communicate with your potential channel partners, spot trends, and make the connections that will get you to your next milestones.

This meeting is free for Telecom Council members, and $200 for non-members.
