David Gave Speech about iPhone 3.0 VS Android 1.5 at FountainBlue meeting of “Mobile Applications: Hot Technologies and Business Models”

Posted by brianzhou on May 13, 2009

ExtendLogic CEO David Cao gave speech about iPhone 3.0 VS Android 1.5 at FountainBlue meeting of “Mobile Applications: Hot Technologies and Business Models” on 11th May.

Below are some notes quoted from FountainBlue Meeting Summary(The notes below are copyrighted by FountainBlue in 2006-09 and all rights are reserved.

*******************************************************

“There has been phenomenal progress over the past year or two on the mobile
application business, from the paradigm-shifting emergence of the iPhone and
all the touch-screen and user interface functionality it enables, to new
business model options opened up through Apple’s approach to iPhone
application sales, to the emergence of cloud computing and its implications
for mobile applications, to the ongoing advances in bandwidth, developer
communities, and technology in general.

In thinking about mobile application technology development, consider the
following factors:
* There are choke points between the mobile device and the base
station and also between the base station and the cloud, and therefore
opportunities for developers and providers to address real market needs.
* The network bandwidth constraints caused by pipeline and sharing
issues are being addressed with technology advancements, so bandwidth will
soon no longer be as much of a barrier for mobile applications.
Entrepreneurs should consider the implications of this for applications and
markets. Which bandwidth-intensive applications would this make possible?
* With that said, bandwidth-intensive applications such as video would
be better suited for countries such as Japan and Korea and parts of Europe.
In the US, there are many inconsistencies where different areas have
different levels of network access. Consider these factors as you strategize
about your mobile application business model and markets.
* With 70% of the iPhone app revenues going to developers and 30% to
Apple, Apple’s game-changing approach to selling apps has carriers thinking
creatively and scrambling to see how they can get their share of the $1B
plus market. You will see cell phone manufacturers, providers, and others
experimenting with their own twists to the new business models. The big
players such as Google’s Android, Apple’s iPhone, the open source Symbian
option, etc., will likely dominate, but the game is still in play and Palm’s
PRE, for example, may surprise us!
* There will be an explosion of new applications as more iPhones and
other similar devices get into the hands of customers. Costs-per-app, which
have gone down from around $6 each to around $1 each, may still trend down,
but the volume of users will continue to make this a fertile opportunity for
the right applications, developers, organizations, and providers, like
Apple.

The panel advised on some hot opportunities ahead in the mobile application
space:
* The touch screen revolution initialized with the iPhone will open up
new possibilities for mobile applications with richer user interface
capabilities. Consider not only how your application can take advantage of
what’s happening in this space, but also the broader question of how are you
interacting with your phone now and how COULD you be interacting with your
phone with this new functionality?
* Flash applications, especially for Location Based Services, will be
hot.
* Gaming will be hot, perhaps games which allow interactivity between
players.
* Special buttons may appear on devices which make it easier to play
games – perhaps a joystick for example.
* The techno-philic tendencies, health consciousness, and financial
security of the aging boomers population may trigger the development of
hand-held devices for medical diagnostics

How iPhone 3.0 May Change the Smartphone Industry

Posted by brianzhou on March 23, 2009

On March 17, Apple presented the blueprint for the iPhone OS software 3.0 and some majoy updates will be available to iPhone owners in June 2009. The iPhone 3.0 software updates includes the abilities to search your iPhone, cut-copy-and-paste, a landscape keyboard, and push notifications. However, none of these updates were as revolutionary as the new features Apple offered to iPhone application developers.

With a rich set of over 1000 new APIs, iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 3.0 beta provides you with an amazing range of technologies to enhance the functionality of iPhone applications. New APIs also provide support for applications to communicate with hardware accessories attached to iPhone. The iPhone SDK updates for iPhone OS 3.0 includes in app purchase, peer to peer connectivity,apple push notification service and maps.

The most innovational feature is considered as the in app purchase because of the large potential opportunities that it presents to both developers and users. iPhone users have already ownloaded over 800 million applications, but the interaction between developers and users has always been ended after users finished the app downloading. But with this feature, users are allowed to purchase content or service from the application using the store kit framework. This new framework handles the financial aspects of the transaction, processes payment with the iTunes Store, and provides information about in app purchase to developers. For example, developers will be able to sell an application once, then sell upgrades through the application itself. Apple used three examples of how that might work: Magazines could sell subscriptions to content downloaded over time, game developers could sell additional levels and add-ons for their games, and publishers of travel guides could sell information for individual cities.

Although more and more users are going to download the app, but they are expecting to get the great iPhone app at a cheap price or for free and there are no reasons for them to come back to developer for more after they purchased the app. So it is hard for developers to make a living upon creating iPhone apps. The ability to sell within applications will help developers solve this problem. Nowadays, more and more transactions has been moving away from the desktop to the mobile, it will be more convenient for users to purchase goods and on-demands services within the app and a long-term relationship can be built up by this model.Developers can make sustainable income from each app that has a smaller base of committed customers. It’s no longer just the purchasing of goods, but also of services.

But, will it be perfect for developers?
