Comment on Growth of iPhone App Store: Two times faster than the iTunes by Peter
Steve makes a very good point here. And to add on to it further, what percentage of people's music content is paid content from iTunes? Steve Jobs suggested that the figure is around 7%. What's my point? Well, if iTunes is successful when only 7% of people's musical content is paid for, and the App Store is growing 2-4 times faster than iTunes, with a base that's at least 10 times smaller (there have been 160 million iPods sold), and Apple has a monopoly on iPhone Apps and keeps 70% of the revenue... App Store is looking pretty profitable to me. Let's do the math: Let's say that each iPhone user, on average, splurges on Apps an buys 1 App of 0.99$ per month... and let's say that Apple has 14M iPhones sold by the end of 2008. Let's even forget about the Touch users. That's 14M of revenue every month, 70% goes to Apple, so $116,000,000 per year in earnings (if we place the App Store overhead at zero). Not bad for a business that started 2 months ago... Not realistic you say: ever seen what teenagers pay for ringtones? More importantly though, even if Apply doesn't make a dime on the App Store, the spinoff effect is tremendous. These Apps effectively change what the iPhone can do... how many users will sign on because of a function they see on their buddy's iPhone? Well, I'm a financial consultant and at least 3 of my colleagues decided to buy iPhones when they saw my Bloomberg App (which is free by the way). Food for thought. Cheers!
Comment on Growth of iPhone App Store: Two times faster than the iTunes by Shagghie
Don't miss the point fellas....the App Store is blowing up...it's completely off the hook, and an entirely new paradigm that is successful by any measure or comparison. Some apps cost $99, others cost $129, some are free. The point is that a) the apps are amazing, and truly kickass b) the apps are easily accessible and c) the apps are being socially accepted. "App-binging" is already a term in the hacker community for going on an app binge and buying wayyyyyyyyyy too many apps while in the john. You can spend $100 in 5 minutes! LOVELY STUFF GENTS! And, just think when there are as many iPhones as there are iPods out there!

Android Phones To Be Remote Controls ; Nokia Rolls Out App Challenge Aimed At Emerging Markets
More details on the upcoming Android phone. This time partner developer PacketVideo gives its take, in an interview with Forbes.com. Joel Espelien, VP of strategy, at the San Diego-based company, which provides Android with its media software, says the phone is much faster in loading web pages, because it's built on a "clean slate." He also reveals that the phone won't be smothered in Google (NSDQ: GOOG) branding, an won't support any new form of ads. Eventually, Android phones will be able to act as remote controls, as PacketVideo plans to adapt its "PVConnect" software to let users send content such as video, photos, and even TV shows between their computers, TV's and game consoles, similar to AT&T's (NYSE: T) recent announcement that it would link the iPhone to its high speed internet and video U-verse service. There will also be an app store, much like Apple's. The applications come from big and small developers, with 50 chosen from its Android Developer Challenge. With the OS wars intensifying, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is launching an application challenge of its own to drum up sales for its Symbian-based handsets. Its "Calling All Innovators" contest is especially aimed at emerging markets, where phone sales have been particularly good to Nokia's bottom line in the last few quarters. Such applications might include real-time market updates for Indian farmers, for example, or tailored weather reports sent via SMS, reports ZDnet.co.uk. The other two categories include "Eco Challenge," focusing on apps that help consumers reduce their environmental impact, and the other "Technology Showcase," is looking for cutting edge applications.
