We call iPhone app market a “Grand Slam” for the iPhone developers since its launch

Since Apple launched its App Store in 2008, we have seen its enormous success in mobile market. Right after a month of its launch, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple had been making about $1 million per day from the site.

When the iPhone was first revealed, it was certainly a breakthrough in mobile phone technology. Right after that, Apple App store had been projected to hit the prospective market. After one year, VentureBeat, followed by Wall Street Journal’s report, stated that 100 million iPhone application have been downloaded since July, 2008. In the first few days of the App Store launch, over 900 new applications were added. The iPhone suddenly became a digital playground for its users.

Will the trend slow anytime soon? It is also a concern for the market analysts, but Apple’s policy proved that as App store is to hit one billion downloads sometime in 2009 and it will have hit the one billion download mark faster than the iTunes site. Apple did it within the time.

Third party iPhone applications make the app market a pleasure. These third party apps are being changing the way the iPhone development companies do the business. Most of the leading industries are adopting the way to run their business through iPhone applications. For banking industries, iPhone apps make online banking obsolete by beginning baking processes through smart iPhone.

Retailers are also starting to get in on the iPhone action. The Gap and Target are two of the first retailers to launch their own iPhone application that enable customers to buy products from their iPhones.

As companies progressively try to one-up each other in the new iPhone app frontier, the consumer will benefit. The staggering success of the iPhone App Store means we will be seeing more iPhone apps with additional innovative features as consumers demand more and business tries to fill these demands. Step aside, 'world wide web' here comes the iPhone app.

Re: iPhone Apps: Biz Idea! - San Diego, California – Got an idea for a killer iPhone app? With more than 1 billion applications sold since its launch last July, Apple’s iPhone App Store has become one of the fastest-growing tech enterprises in recent history, and gained a reputation as something of a developer’s goldmine. Success stories such as that of Ethan Nicholas, whose iShoot app has earned him $900,000 in eight months, have only added to the App Store’s appeal for would-be iPhone entrepreneurs. “The runaway success of the App Store has created the legend of the iPhone millionaire,” says Ian Maskell, principal of iPhone App Freelancer, a company aiming to make it possible to get your idea into the App Store without technical knowledge and minimal financial outlay. “Everywhere we went people would say: ‘I’ve got a great idea for an app.’ We saw an opportunity to level the playing field and allow anyone the ability to become the next success story, regardless of their ability to program or write code.” So Maskell launched iPhone App Freelancer, a website offering the ability to turn great ideas into apps with little or no programming knowledge. Rob Shoesmith, a 27-year-old garbage collector from Coventry – England, submitted one of the first ideas to iPhone App Freelancer for development. Shoesmith says he has only had an iPhone for a few months, but has been following the growth of the App Store since its launch. He wants to keep the specifics of his app under wraps until its launch, but describes it as a user-generated advice service.

Re: iPhones - [quote="OmnivoreInk"]iPhone batteries don't last long enough though...[quote] I own an iPhone and I have no problem with the batteries. I am a pretty heavy Internet user and if I don't watch videos or listen too much music (which I don't), I recharge my iPhone every other day.... exactly the same frequency as my old blackberry pearl.
You don't need the new iPhone - [i:3jvapemj]I stole this article from a minimalist site. He has given everyone to steal his posts and use it anywhere at anytime and without giving credit to him.His name is Leo Babauta. So enjoy.[/i:3jvapemj] ................................................................................................................... Many of you have seen the video and reviews of the new iPhone 4S, and yes, it looks great. Don’t rush out to order it. Here’s why: you don’t need it. True, it is sleek and sexy and full of great features like a great camera and personal assistant and a better screen, etc. But you don’t need it today any more than you needed it yesterday, or 5 years ago. Yesterday, without the new iPhone, your life was good. Some of you were happy and content and were actually able to do your work and get on with your life without the new iPhone. Today, Apple announces its newest device, and the press and tech bloggers swoon. We all have to get the latest device, or we’ll no longer be hip, we’ll no longer be part of the “in” crowd. And yet, is it really that essential? I’ve wanted an iPhone for almost 5 years now, but haven’t bought one because I know I don’t need it. Will it make my life a bit more fun? Sure, possibly — but so will a walk in the park with my kids, or a hike with a friend, or a free book at the library. I don’t need to spend $199 plus thousands of dollars on a 2-year contract to make my life a bit more fun. Five years ago, the iPhone didn’t exist. It wasn’t a need in your life. You were able to live perfectly without it. And now that it does exist, all of that is true. It’s Apple’s marketing that has worked on us, and we’re fools for it. The same, of course, is true of all other technology and sleek consumerist products. It’s just that Apple is better at it than most. Don’t give in. Fight the marketing, by noticing and letting go of the urges that marketing creates in us. Find contentment without products. You’re better than that.
