With iPhone OS 3.0, Apple added an age rating system for applications.

Microsoft on the verge of releasing Windows Mobile version 2.0
OK… sorry about the inflammatory title, but it really does feel like MS has been coasting since it came out with its first mobile software release. I’ve used Windows Mobile on two Dell Axim revs and two cellphones. Instead of feeling like each new OS revision was an upgrade, it just felt like the same thing with a few more applications included and a few more options in settings.

Free iPhone apps monetization: ad supported iPhone Apps Revenue with AdMob or AdWhirl
Free apps get downloaded zillions of times: a lot more then commercial apps. There are plenty of different estiamtes on the ratio between free and paid apps. In our experience, free apps can get even more then 10 times the downloads then a similar paid app priced over the 0.99 USD tier. We’re speaking of pure stability in the range of 50-150 downloads per day after you loose the initial visibility on the app store for a very niche targeted free app.

iPad & iPhone GUI User Interface Elements for Photoshop Prototyping
We discussed in the past what are the best tools out there to create mock-ups for an iPhone application storyboard — a document that describes the app flow and the desired user interaction that will get you much closer to prototyping.
A few days since the iPad has been shown in public for the first time and the iPhone SDK with the iPad simulator has been released, the first Photoshop (PSD) library of GUI (User Interface) elements has surfaced on the web…

The new iPad. Will it be a success? Will it be a flop? Why people complain about it? Is it worth to get my apps optimized for the iPad? What if it will be a huge flop?

iPad influencing the tablet market
My first thought on seeing this image today was “wow… Steve Jobs looks really small now behind his big iPhone”. Fortunately, this isn’t a case of Steve shrinking, it’s the mobile computer that got bigger.
