Apple stepping over to the Dark Side?

By pfhagermark ⋅ August 7, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

During recent days there has been much said about Apple’s weird decision to not launch Google Voice for iPhone. Comments and reactions can be read here and here. Even the FCC has raised an inquiry into this sending Apple a letter with six questions. Read about it here. Apple used to be the User’s White [...]

Will there be any dramatic mobile news from San Francisco today? You can follow live video stream from TechCrunch here.

Got AppStore strategy? Do you feel lucky punk?

By pfhagermark ⋅ April 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been a while due to lack of time. The main focus for the last weeks has been the launch of a new company and product – Souldate, mobile dating with positioning. Dating is well suited for mobile. With positioning it takes it to the next level. Anyway, now you know why I have been [...]

App Store – the new black?

By pfhagermark ⋅ March 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In the aftermath of MWC and the build up to CTIA you would certainly think App Stores are the new black. Apple set off this me-too avalanche of announcements. After Apples app store we have seen Blackberry app world , Android Market, Microsoft\’s Marketplace and Nokia\’s Ovi etc. Will this be a game changer? Maybe. [...]

Are mobile operators becoming irrelevant?

By pfhagermark ⋅ February 17, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I don’t know about you, but in my quest to develop new services and revenue streams I spend amazingly little time talking with mobile operators these days. I say amazingly since I thought I would spend more time with them, since they are such an essential part of the ecosystem. I see that as a [...]

Selling mobile apps in the 21st century

By pfhagermark ⋅ January 14, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Image via CrunchBase Had some time over the holidays to walk through the AppStore with my iPhone. Found a few gems. This is not a “best iPhone apps of the year” post though. My point is how smooth and easy the entire discovery and purchase experience is. There is second to none of all other [...]

2009 what-ifs

By pfhagermark ⋅ January 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I do not find it very useful to extrapolate trends into the new year and making more or less safe bets about what will happen. I am not saying they are bad. A few good ones are found at Mobhappy and MEF. For my own businesses though I find it much more useful to run [...]

Required reading for all developers!

By pfhagermark ⋅ September 12, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

First of all a correction, it is supposedly 100 m downloads now at the AppStore. I finally got time to check out the facts from the latest Apple hoopla. So 100 m downloads in 60 days. Pretty strong. But my follow-up questions on who really makes money there and what the future brings are still [...]

About those 60 m AppStore downloads…

By pfhagermark ⋅ September 10, 2008 ⋅ One comment

How does the long tail of App Store look? More to the point how does the backlog of apps not yet tester and approved look? What is the cost on average to develop an iPhone app? How many developers have made a profit om their apps? You see where I am heading. Is the AppStore [...]

Now taking bets

By pfhagermark ⋅ June 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

So, after a wham-bang-whizz launch and announcement that the iPhone 3G will go on sale 11 July we were thrown into a great vacum of uncertainty. There are very few clear facts on where and how to buy the new iPhone and a what price. Journalists write the most confusing articles about the iPhone. Germany [...]
