Distribution of apps

Will apple change its way to doing business to be a more modern and more acceptably competitive model.

In a move that might go a long way toward equalizing the past mistakes apple has made.

Will Apple figure it out in time or will they continue to deny what their competitors are providing to consumers, when consumers said they want flash, they get it, (but not at Apple, why is that?)

I love Apple products but for the last two years, things have begun to change and it is not really good changes, when you look at what is going on in the marketplace and the economy this is not a time to force your antiquated views on the consumer.

Amazon has announced support for an app store, for Andriod, this is not a good thing for apple when will apple learn to loosen up the strict draconian environment that is ruining the apple platform.

Eventually there will be a better distribution channel for apps that run on the ipad and the iphone.

As the market continues to change, the mechanism should adapt to the market, not the market to the mechanism, perhaps apple can find a way to make this work better.

Will Apple adapt to the changing distribution market?

Finding a better way to distribute your apple ipad apps may be what many developers are looking to do.

With the most recent of Apple mistakes hiting the market, some people have activly begun to look for alternate systems of distribution.

Are you searching for an alternative to the app store because you want to distribute an ipad app but cant get apple to even look at you because your allegedly just a small business?

Alternative to the app store, is one of the most searched for things online, by small business and many developers.

If Apple is really as good as they think that they are can they not figure out a way to satisfy the customer base?

With thousands of small business owners who would like to have an ipad or iphone app there would appear to be no real distribution point, this seems like not only an oversight but something that apple has just well plain decided to not address.

Statics are revealing that some 30 to 45 percent of users are jail breaking their devices.

Which would seem to indicate that there is some issue about the apple process of approving and distributing of apps that well is just not meeting the need of not only the development community but also the users themselves.

Now add into the mix small business owners, who would like to be able to provide a method of distributing a small town app for small town business owners, and you have a problem that apple is not prepared to deal with.

An entire market segment has been left out of the equation for apple that seems a little dumb because they are known for their planning but you have to ask is this an oversight? Or is it just something that is just not worth the time for apple to develop a strategy to address the needs of millions of potential customers.

One thing for sure, if apple does not do this someone else will come along and they will do it.

Cydia for one thing is actively defying Apple in fact they plan on competing with the new planned MAC OSX app store that apple plans on unveiling in the new year.

Which will likely provide even more grist for the mill for many developers and small business owners.

It seems as if Apple is intentionally trying to well Piss people off, we have to wonder why that is happening because normally a company tries to keep its customers happy not make them angry enough to jail break a device.

What may happen next is anyone’s guess but one thing for sure is that if you are not prepared to enter the jail broken app market and you are a small business chances are great that apple is not looking out for you or your business.

learning Xcode

There are dozens of reasons why you should learn Xcode, here are just a few.

Xcode is the future of software development.

Xcode can help you learn how to produce iOS apps and MAC OSX apps for the App store.

Xcode can do hundreds of things right out of the box.

Xcode can leap over tall buildings.

Xcode can teach you about working with the MAC platform.

There are three things you will want to become very intimate with, no get your mind out of the gutter.

This is G rated, the G is for Geek,

The Apple Developer website.
The SDK for iphone and ipad
The Xcode UI

There are a number of others as well but lets cover a few at a time to get started with.

There are tons of examples at the apple developer website and you can also post in the forums, there is not a lot of interaction there, but there are a lot of other places where you can post and get help too.

So remember the best place to learn is at the developer center.

 

verizon iphone

Not So fast, will Apple have to update the Verizon iphone in order to get people to buy it?

Some people will be rushing out to buy an iphone from verizon, which is interesting considering that there are reports about the device basically be a crippled version of the ATT iphone device, which allows a user to be online and talk at the same time.

Another issue is that the Verizon version only runs at 3g speeds, while charging more money than ATT for the less service.

All this may come as a real surprise to you if you have been watching the news and seeing all the advertising.

For one thing, when you examine the new FTC guides regarding advertising, you have to wonder if the advertising they are using is not somewhat, deceptive, when you consider that the device being sold is not the same as what ATT is offering you have to think about potential lawsuits, and how producing a device that is crippled by apple is perhaps allegedly an attempt to preserve sales at the expense of the consumer.

So why even bother to produce an inferior device and promote it to the consuming public when ATT has a superior device at a lower cost of ownership, it may be debatable if ATT offers better service in large cities than Verizon, however, it is certainly a problem that the iphone being sold to verizon customers is not as powerful or as interesting, so the remaining question is did apple plan this in advance and could this be considered manipulation of the market?

Will the SEC be called in to investigate this device war?

Will the FTC be called upon to investigate deceptive advertising?

It could be a long cold ride for the consumer, with the only clear winner here being apple you have to ask what were they thinking?

Jail breaking your device yes or no?

Should apple get a clue about its restrictive practices in developing services for the ipad ipod, iphone marketplaces?

 

More users are allegedly jail breaking their devices so that they can get the features and the software that they want, is this wrong, probably, and not for the reasons you may think.

Well the debate rages on, with apple allegedly being the mean bully that appears to try to influence what apps are “right” for the hardware that apple sells to its customers, Oh wait, I thought the customer was buying the hardware, should they not decide what apps they want to put on their iphones or mobile devices?

Well I guess long as those apps are apps that apple also thinks are good enough for the hardware they sell but apparently mother over constantly.

Still one might wonder if an eventual legal battle over what is and what is not allow on hardware owned by customers, since and I repeat apple customers do spend a great deal of money to buy the hardware.

So do the customers not have any rights or any say in what they can put on the devices they buy?

Makes you think, …
