Market Analysis and forecast on European Mobile Applications Stores

Mobile Applications Stores: Europe – Market Analysis and Business Assessment

All smart phones come loaded with standard applications defined by the manufacturer. However, the network operators, looking for revenue opportunities, have encouraged the development of other applications that can be used on the cell phones they support. Using these applications will use the network services more and generate more revenue. The network operators established business relationships and development platforms to encourage the growth of these applications. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Mobile-Applications-Stores-Europe-Market-Analysis-and-Business-Assessment.html )

The release of smart phones like Apple’s iPhone, with its 65,000 supported applications required the need for a single point of access to these via an “application store”. Various network operators, handset manufacturers and software developers are announcing plans for their “Mobile Application Store” (“MAS”). The MAS is a central location for purchasing supplemental mobile applications, possibly available for a fee.

This report evaluates the state of the mobile application stores and its expected evolution. For example, Sun Microsystems is analyzed as they also announced plans their own MAS. The report also evaluates MAS consortiums such as Symbian and Android.

Key Findings:

* The Mobile application market forecast is a .0 billion revenue opportunity over the next few years.
* The handset vendors have taken the leadership role away from the network operators and are currently driving this market.
* Apple has defined and driven this market to its current state. All other players in this market are reacting to Apple and playing catch up.
The market is young, confusing and unsettled.
* Besides the handset vendors, major players in this market are the network operators, software vendors, consortiums and retailers.
* Great opportunities for software developers. Despite support programs, they are left to figure it out themselves.

Questions Answered

* What is the revenue opportunity for this market?
* Who are the key market players?
* Where is the growth potential in this market?
* Where will this market go?

3 Best places to promote your iPhone Applications

iPhone applications are the highly used social media marketing tool which is targeting the whole world and shaping new horizons for better results, better than before. iPhone applications are rapidly going and being developed like a fire. You will witness a lot of exciting and useful iPhone apps on the World Wide Web. All the places, all kinds of people and all sorts of industries are getting their desired outcomes and even more, beyond imagined success point. If you have any sort of business or product to sell, this indeed is an amazing way to introduce to your potential prospects. This way you would be able to have an edge over those who still are using traditional modes of advertisement and promotion.

Anyways, if you have your iPhone application ready and you want to target your audience to have it on their iPhone sets, you must follow the following.

Twitter

Twitter is the hottest social media marketing platform that allows users to get in touch with their niche markets on real-time basis. Once you are done with the development of your iPhone application, you must talk about it. Infact, you should have talked about it little before the completion, and made the hype but if you didn’t, you still have time to brag about it. You need to post links on your twitter profile which automatically will appear in your followers’ time line. If your PR is kind of strong, they are going to retweet it. More people know about your iPhone application, more chances of download are there.

Facebook Fan Page and Group

Facebook is the largest social media network that has more than 400 million active users. If you create Facebook fan page or Facebook group for your iPhone application, it will be going to be viral and will multiply like fire.

Blogs

Blogging is considered to be another effective indirect marketing tool where you don’t only pull people and know about your things, but it gives decision power to readers that either they should opt your thing or not. Now, how you are well versed in tempting people by your beautifully crafted words will make a difference. Again, this should be done on the earlier basis, while you are in the making of your iPhone app. But as you are done with the process, you have less time. You need to be more active while blogging about your newly developed iPhone application, that how it works, what they will get, how amazing it is and why you should have etc.

Make a fortune – Create Your own Android Applications – Its easy now!

Make a fortune – Create Your own Android Applications – Its easy now!

Now you can create your own Android applications for the Smart Phones like Samsung, Nokia and so on.

Always dreamed of a specific Smart Phone application? Make it yourself, as well!

How-to do that is easier than ever….

July 12th 2010Google unveiled a developer tool that allows anyone who wants to create aplications for Smart cell phones using the Android operating system. You do not need to know the programming language Android developers usually use.

The application program for you, all you do is decide what you want the program to do. It reminds a bit to building with Lego, since the program create building blocks,  block by block. Each block represents a snippet of a programming code, and the whole set of blocks together will eventually be able to run as an application on the Android Operating System based cell phones.

The beta version of Google App Inventor for Android was released July 12th 2010 along with a video showing people how easy it is to create applications with it. In the video a cat owner makes by a few mouse clicks a program that says mjau when people tap a photo of a  cat.

- To use the App Inventor you do not need to be a software developer. App Inventor requires no programming knowledge, it states on their website.

Localization and automatic text messages

The Cat program is not particularly difficult to make for those who dare to try, you will probably spend more time on building a medium sized Lego boat after a recipe. The program is however not in itself especially advanced in functionality either – and perhaps not particularly useful. They who wants to will of course advance to create more advanced applications than  cat pictures making a mjau.

Google has also posted on the web site a recipe on how to go about making the game called  “Whack-a-Mole, where the goal is to hit the moles that continually pop up different places on the screen. Another specific recipe allows you to create a quiz application, you can challenge your friends with.

Among other suggestions of applications one can make, there are applications that leverage the GPS functionality for localizing – for example, a program used to mark where you parked your car, or programs that automatically respond to incoming text messages – for example, a program that says “Calling you later . “I am driving” in forefront of your drive.

The idea of programming with Lego-like building blocks derived from research done at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The motive is really education, and search engine giant hopes enough so that the teachers will use it in their teaching.

Blocks for the most

Google has added building blocks for almost everything you can do with Android operating System.
This includs blocks to make programlike things, like blocks to store information, blocks to repeat actions and blocks to make certain actions under certain conditions. There are even blocks that can talk to services like Twitter.

Maybe you will initiate a program project during the summer months, then you must first fill out a form on their website. Google will continually give people access to the App Inventor during the coming weeks.

In the fall 2010, Google hopes to have ready an Android emulator, which allows you to test the program to create an ongoing basis on the computer screen instead of having to transfer it to your phone.

Best of luck, you might have the idea to the next blockbuster of application for the Smart Phones in the market today.

Try it for yourself – apply to be the next successful Android developer on GOOGLE web site

Instant simulation: 3 reasons for visualizing and testing your applications before coding

Instant simulation: 3 reasons for visualizing and testing your applications before coding

It’s common nowadays to see designers, UX designers and information architects doing wireframes when they start doing a new website, but most of them stop right there. The text is presented in a big text format, or printed in several pages of photoshop printscreens. We need a bit of green consciousness and a more practical approach.

Justinmind Prototyper was built to ease this pain. You can wireframe, annotate, animate and generate documentation of a functional mockup. With a fully built prototype, you have most web functions with ease, by drag and drop. Then, it’ll be easier to get client’s approval, and to get all team working on the same project.

It prevents 3 serious problems that affects webdesign and application development:

The “I get what you mean” syndrome

The designer wants an object to do some kind of action, but it’ll take a long time programming. The client, unaware of the problem, approves. Then asks for changes. We know that any project that passes through several modifications ends up like Frankenstein. So, we recommend our users just present the final working prototype to the client, to get his approval, and then start coding and making high-fidelity design, photos and all. That’s the only way not to be trapped in an horror movie.

The “But the users didn’t understand this part” sickness

You are working full-time on a big project, tirelessly. After delivery, the client runs a usability test on paper. And comes with tons of modifications, because the users didn’t understand something which wasn’t meant to be used on paper. Paper testing is very important, but we must understand that it requires a lot of imagination for some users to comprehend what’s that wireframe. How to explain subtle movements, data modification or interactions with paper? It takes time, patience and imagination, but you can simplify the project with a hi-fi wireframe.

The “the wireframe was approved – do it like that” disease

A wireframe is not the layout, but sometimes the client or the boss sees it, and thinks it is. And here comes trouble. This container doesn’t need to be a box, but can be something else that comes up from the designer’s mind. But clients sometimes don’t get this. Or the account team. Or the planners. So, the re-work comes along. Changes and more changes. And the schedule is a long forgotten promise. And worse of all, you can end up with a project all made with some weird typography or wrong colours.

Three Essential Windows Mobile Applications

Three Essential Windows Mobile Applications

Suddenly, the mobile phone industry is inundated with operating systems: iPhone OS, Google Android, Palm WebOS, Symbian, Maemo, BlackBerry, Samsung Bada, and of course, Windows Mobile. Microsoft recently released WinMob 6.5, in a sign that the company has not yet called it quits and is willing to fight it out. There are still lots of phones that run on Windows Mobile, including the upcoming HTC HD2. So here are three applications that no WinMob phone should be without:

1.XnView Pocket – With mobile phones doubling up as cameras, a smart and robust image viewing and editing tool is essential on all handsets. Once you install XnView Pocket, you won’t require anything else. Along with five super-cool photo-viewing modes (you simply have to try out the ‘FilmStrip’ mode), the app lets users convert images to different formats such as JPEG, GIF, BMP and PNG (TIFF and RAW files are read-only). If it’s cropping that you desire, simply use your stylus to draw out a box and cut the image to size. Resizing, rotating, sharpening, smoothing, noise reduction, brightness, contrast, gamma, RGB controls – XnView just does it all!

2.Dashwire – What would you do if your phone were to suddenly conk off and wipe out all your data? The problem with backup tools is that most users don’t do it often enough, and with the amount of data we receive everyday on our Mobile Phones, we’re bound to miss out something important. Dashwire is a wonderful app that syncs up your phone to your very own Dashwire portal on the Web, and lets you access common phone features through it too. Pictures, music, calendar, SMS, contacts, email, Twitter and lots of other features are easily supported, making sure your data is always safe.

3.T9 PhonePad – Hate the Qwerty keyboard on your WinMob phone? Wish you could just go back to the comfortable 10-digit number pad and your trusty T9 dictionary? Just install T9 PhonePad and start tapping away. Goodbye, annoying stylus!

Social Networking & Web 2.0 Applications

Web 2.0 applications involve a social factor where the users generate and distribute content. They are also awarded the privilege of sharing and reusing the content. Web 2.0 is thus heralded as a revolution in the computer industry which is a direct result of the movement towards the Internet as a platform for applications. It also encompasses the need to comprehend the basic rules for success on the new platform. The mainstay of Web 2.0 advertising is by word of mouth. Using social networking to develop new connections and expanding the horizons of your presence on the Internet is a key factor.

Social networking sites contribute a great deal towards helping people to interact with each other. These sites do not just help people to interact but also go a long way towards enabling them to share their likes and dislikes. Social networking sites help people to share and exchange photos, music, video clips as well as TV clips. Becoming aware of the target market and their various likes and dislikes helps you to gauge more about the kind of products and services they prefer. This exercise by itself helps you by saving the time, effort and money which would otherwise have been wasted on a wrong target market. These features make Web 2.0 an ideal platform for businesses to advertise their services and products.

A few of the major advantages of implementing Web 2.0 advertising are listed as follows:

1. It is not required to search for a target audience and neither does the target market have to search for your business with these applications.

2. The wide reach of the Internet makes it an extremely powerful and useful tool to attract a larger audience for your business. Promoting your business through word of mouth using social networking can help you to advertise your business to numerous customers all over the world.

3. Web 2.0 advertising helps to expand your business by increasing your target market as there are no geographical boundaries for your client base. Local customers can be targeted by joining a group of local businesses. Joining larger communities of like minded businesses can help you to project your business to clients in the worldwide market.

4. The main advantage of Web 2.0 advertising is that it is free of cost. The large amount of money that would otherwise be required for advertisement campaigns does not have to be spent in this case. A global target audience can be created from the comfort of your own office itself.

5. Social networking and utilizing these applications as a promotional tool provides total control to businesses regarding the image and style that they want to project.

The Benefits Of Running Your Web Applications In A Cloud

The Benefits Of Running Your Web Applications In A Cloud

It wasn’t so long ago that being told you had “your head in a cloud” wasn’t any kind of compliment. For computer and IT folks, it is now. As “cloud computing” becomes the Buzzword Of The Millennium (until the next one) it is going through the usual growing pains—defining itself, redefining how companies use applications, being misunderstood and, sometimes, being adopted too quickly.

New developments, in everything from computing to gardening, tend to be disruptive, especially to systems whose rationale has been reduced to “the way we do things.” That’s a dangerous attitude in any enterprise, but can be deadly in business. Cloud computing has already started to disrupt the way in which business users think, but the big question is, When do we jump on board? Fortunately, the benefits of running your web applications in a cloud are starting to come into focus.

Fast rising vapor?

The term for software or products that are talked up but don’t show up, is “vaporware.” In an interesting nexus, clouds are made up entirely of vapor. Let’s hope the similarity ends there, since cloud computing is already starting to have effects, although small at present, on how people and companies consume (or don’t consume) hardware and software. “Cloud computing” is not just the latest hip terminology, it is already part of the core IT thinking of tech pundits and corporate evangelists.

Naturally, as with anything new and different, cloud computing is causing a good deal of arguing and finger pointing. Bloggers, technoids, Twitter talkers, think tanks and programmers galore have already invested thousands of hours and spread billions of pixels in efforts to convince everyone (themselves, too, perhaps) that they have The Correct Take on Cloud Computing. Of course, almost as many other smart folks are taking pot shots at the whole idea. All this, of course, is a good thing.

Debate good, groupthink bad!

The debate(s) will spur a lot of good thinking and force proponents to turn their PR soundbites into real explanations and suggestions. Necessity is the mother of invention, while tension is the mother of refinement. Among the most important refinements to watch for, naturally, are those that will address the glaring security and privacy risks. Still, there is enough meat on the cloud computing bone right now to see at least half a dozen benefits that IT decision-makers should consider. Briefly, and in no particular order, they are as follows:

Reduced cost

Adoption of cloud technology is done incrementally, which means the costs are spread out over time, saving money.

Increased storage

Organizations will be able to store much more data in a cloud-computing model than on their in-house, private systems. Scalability and “JITS” (Just In Time Storage) are also efficiency enhancements, and can be money-savers, too, when done right.

Automated updates

In an echo of Scott McNealy’s pitch for Sun’s “the web is the computer” of some years ago cloud computing enthusiasts point out that IT personnel would no longer need to fret, bother or raise a finger to keep software updated.

Flexibility squared

Cloud computing will offer many more times the flexibility than existing computing models. IT managers will be able to manage dynamic, evolving networks and accessorize them however they deem necessary, for a minute or an hour or a month. This is an amazing benefit that could quickly turn into a liability with dithering, indecisive management. Cloud computing will require good planning, deft execution and quick thinking, but why should that scare anyone off?

Increased mobility

Individuals and corporate employees will be able to access their information from wherever they are, anywhere they can get Internet access, rather than remaining tethered to their desks. Again, this is a double-edged sword, since security and privacy issues magnify when access points multiply. In addition, project management can often suffer without “face time,” and the notion that teamwork can proceed with tight controls as the team turns into telecommuters is as yet untested.

IT efforts can be (re)focused

If IT managers no longer need to bother with ongoing server and application updates, and a host of other computing issues that the cloud model is built to address, organizations can focus and refocus their efforts. In an ideal world, this leaves creative minds free to create, solve, innovate and improve. In a fallible one like we really live in, this may have unintended consequences, like complacency.

Summing up

Will there be benefits to cloud computing? Of course, and Amazon and others are already showing the way. Will it be a smooth ride from here to there (wherever “there” is)? Of course not. In human systems, which is where the non-human systems like cloud computing have to reside, there has been very little success with planning, managing or controlling the evolution of a new technology.

At this point, with massive interest in this new computing model, the best approach is the “multiple lab” method. That is, watch from the sidelines, while dipping your toe in the water if you want to, and see which of the myriad approaches works, or at least points in the right direction. There will be benefits, certainly, but they will come after the requisite number of mistakes and missteps. As long as you don’t venture down the path ahead of the group learning curve, you will be walking with your head in the clouds along with a lot of other folks—and sooner rather than later.
