Last week we covered Google exclusively, but this week we spread the love around a bit more and share what is happening in some of the other big names. In an effort to be fair, we'll go alphabetically.
Apple
This week, Apple has an interesting announcement. No, not yet "iDevice", but it refers. In fact, recent research indicates that Apple's iPhone ® ™ is now more popular than Nintendo ® DS ™ and Sony ® PSP as a gaming device. This is huge news for app developers and for those who are still weighing the value of app for their business.
As if we did not already recognize the iPhone as a popular platform (not to mention the iPad and iPod Touch, which also uses the same platform, OS 3.2 and is compatible with all iPhone apps), we now have more evidence that the development of applications can be very profitable, and profits for some developers eventually rival that of the game developers for the DS and PSP.
Here at Amadeus Consulting, we already have a huge amount of experience on the iPhone and are already developing applications for the iPad as well. It's always exciting to see what our clients have ideas for new applications and new ways to connect with their audience. If you think your business can benefit, or if you have a good idea, swing our Contact page and let us know.
In addition to the new look, there's some really cool things happening in the world of Facebook. First, the Business Week report predicts that by 2012, sales of virtual goods will reach $ 3.6 billion, an increase of $ 1.6 billion this year.
What does this mean? This means that all Facebook games, widgets and applications to set up huge amounts of money just by selling flowers, digital, digital credits, Farmville dollars, and other virtual goods. Although virtual goods in the market extends far beyond just Facebook, the company is also rumored to be planning a universal Facebook currency that is useful for all applications, including Microsoft Xbox LIVE ® market.
