Explore Article gomonews.com (Feb 19 2010) Mobile Applications

But in the older market of platform agnostic app stores, things are quickly getting very interesting. Todays announcement that PocketGear has bought out competitor Handango is only the most recent of several interesting developments.

Reality Check: Shifting dynamics in mobile application distribution and monetization
Explore Article Mobile Technology (Mar 2 2010) Mobile Applications , Operator Services
In 2009 the app-store gold rush induced “headless chicken” behavior within the mobile industry on an unprecedented level – more than a dozen original equipment manufacturers and operator app stores were announced or operational alongside another dozen app stores from a multitude of stakeholders from chipset manufacturers to platform vendors. This is not a completely unusual phenomenon for the mobile industry, which has seen its fair share of booms and busts. So, is there an enduring trend that will follow the inevitable shakeout? And are we starting to see the beginning of this shakeout?

Apple's Ban On Racy Apps Due To Rising Complaints; But Major Pubs Get A Pass
Explore Article mocoNews (Feb 23 2010) Mobile Applications
Apple’s ban on some sexually-suggestive content in the iTunes App Store was due to an increasing number of complaints from women’s and parent groups, a top exec tells the NYT. But the policy is selective, as not all apps featuring scantily-clad women have been bannished. For example, Sports Illustrated’s free Swimsuit app is still available for download—though Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) asks that users certify they are over 17 years of age before loading—as is a related game app. Playboy (NYSE: PLA) has several paid apps still on sale in the App Store.
