Most of us will be aware of the Mobile appstores ( essentially a central place to sel/buyl all mobile applications related to the OS platform. The trend has become very popular because of Apple whose Apple store has been hugely successful and popular.
Android has announced its own 'Android market'. RIM has its own ' RIM application center' .It is expected that, after the sucess of the apple store, we will have many phone manufacturers following the trend. Samsung and Nokia may soon annouce their own stores.
Some data on the iPhone appstore:
More than 5,000 new applications,
$30 M rev the first 30 days of operation,
200 M downloads in the first 100 days.
The success of the application stores will depend on the following factors:
-Business model of selling the application ( cost to list, developer commision )
-Platform Popularity
-Ease for the end user ( download, installation etc )
- Distribution
- Provisioning of applications
