1 billion App Store applications are running on over 20 millions iPhone and over 15 millions iPods Touch

app-store-1-billion-apps Apple, which sold its 1 billionth App Store application on April 23rd, says a third of the 35,000 applications on the digital download store are games, meaning it sold over 300 million multi-touch games in approximately 9 months.

Sales of Apple’s iPod touch have more than doubled over the past 12 months to rates nearly in line with the iPhone, fueled by an explosion of attractive gaming titles on the App Store that are boosting overall multi-touch device shipments into Nintendo DS territory. The appeal of the iPod touch as a gaming device has admittedly caught industry watchers by surprise.

Though its unclear how many DS titles have been sold since the platform launched in 2004, Nintendo did say last month that 83 titles had each surpassed the 1 million mark, with 7 games exceeding the 10 million mark.

Designing a native application for the iPhone requires a deep knowledge of the platform and to study it from the user’s perspective: adapting an application from another platform to it is not just about “porting” all features, that won’t work.

The iPhone and iPod Touch are all about giving the user a peculiar experience. Surely you can just create yet another smartphone-savvy touchscreen-optimized application, but in that case you wouldn’t be embracing the platform.

Agile development, what is “scrum”?

Mar

Mauro Dalu

Scrum is an iterative incremental process of software development commonly used with agile software development. The name comes from a rugby term, which is short for scrummage (like American Football’s scrimmage), and is a way of restarting the game after the ball stops.

This concept transfers well to the scrum attitude, which, as Carl Youngblood once said, one could basically sum up as an acknowledgement that human beings can only focus on their goals in small steps and for short periods of time and need help from one another, ways of visualizing their progress, and constant reassessment to be successful.
