If you ever happen to release a software for iPod and send it to Apple for review…don’t include extra dragons! :D
Very funny story from the daily buisness of fellow developers…hit the link and read on for the whole story!
Lately we recommended you take part in an online survey the folks at Iliumsoftware were doing. So, after about 200 people answered their question the begin to publish the results. First comes the answer to the question
How do you find new apps?
Surprisingly enough 85% answered with “anything but iTunes”. Seems like Apple didn’t find the right solution for consumer satisfaction. On the other hand they don’t have to. Since every site dealing with apps and reviews and the like can put a deeplink to the AppStore, Apple can easily just wait and let third parties do their job for free.
On the other hand, as Iliumsoftware says as well, 200 people are not that much if you consider the millions of iPod/iPhone-users out there…so this might be misleading information. Espescially if you consider how a high ranking in the Top 100 apps increases your sales many people somehow *must* be using iTunes.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to more results.
So, the first rumors are starting to appear and people are wondering what might a new 3rd-Generatin-iPhone look like and what might be it’s improvements. It’s not even known when and if an iPhone will com but some vague hint from Phil Schiller is enough for the majority of iPhone-Fans to believe it will com this June. :)
Anyway…even if it’s coming June next year I was statring to wonder what I would like to see in a new iPhone. Am I really missing something? In my day to day usage of the iPhone 1G I don’t really miss a lot but then…well…read on if you want to know what the next iPhone might bring…
A very intersting survey is taking place right now. The folks a Ilium Software are asking: How Do You Use the iTunes App Store? This will be really intersting to see answers on how you find new software, weather you read the softwares’ description or the reviews and so on.
Best thing is: If you’re willing to fill out the survey and punch in your e-mail-adress you may win an iTunes-Gift-Card…best thing for you to get a copy of TouchScan…or…or..Skippy XL or the Penguin Timer ;)
Just because you don’t expect it, doesn’t mean it can’t happen! :-) TouchScan just appeared in the Top Paid Apps list for whole 2008…ok…’whole 2008′ is a bit of an exaggeration since it’s been only about 5 month since the AppStore started but nevertheless: TouchScan made it!
And that’s all because of you TouchScan-Users out there!
Thank you all!
