The Diversity Of Iphone Apps
Apple’s biggest success story is arguably the iPhone. With revolutionary touch screen technology, mobile internet browsing, email, downloadable apps and a built in iPod it’s easy to see why. One of the key reasons the phone has received such success is the wide range of apps available from the app store.
There are currently over 190,000 different iPhone apps and since the app store launched, Apple have enjoyed more than 5 billion downloads, providing a win-win situation. App developers can create applications and distribute them all over the world for free or a small cost while Apple receives a commission on each paid app sold. The iPhone user benefits from the increasing range of applications available for their handset.
The choice of apps available is nothing short of immense. There are informational applications, a host of utilities, loads of games and a selection of eCommerce apps. From eCommerce apps, info apps, games and everything else, there’s a huge selection. So much so, that you could argue that anything possible with the iPhone has already been done!
Some of the most notable apps are obviously those from well known websites or retailers such as eBay and Amazon, both of whom have eCommerce applications enabling users to shop on the move, and Facebook, which developed an application to send its powerhouse of a social networking site mobile. But the top downloaded apps aren’t all big brands and names. Who had ever heard of Lima Sky LLC before the addictive iPhone game, ‘Doodle Jump’ came out?
The most downloaded apps emphasise what is so great about the iPhone app store – diversity. Apps enable you to play virtual drums, network with potential business partners and turn your phone into a torch. And with the enhanced functionality that the iPhone 4 has brought to the market, the variety of apps will continue to rise.
