The State Of The App Economy in 2012 : Developer Insights

Developers are focusing more on iOS and Android, and moving away from platforms like Blackberry.

Facebook is a developer's best friend. The social network is by far the most popular promotional tool used by developers. 

More developers are planning to start making apps for Windows than any other platform, though that doesn't necessarily mean they will.

Android is the platform of choice throughout the developing world.

The State Of The App Economy in 2012 - Business Insider: "In the five years since the iPhone came out, there has been a gold rush to develop apps, but a new report shows just how hard this business can be.

Vision Mobile, a market analysis and strategy firm, surveyed more than 1,500 developers worldwide and found that one in three apps generates $500 or less a month, which means developers have to find other sources of income to get by.

On average, developers make between $1,200-$3,900 per app each month, though some platforms prove more lucrative than others. For example, iOS developers surveyed make more per app each month on average ($3,693)  than Android developers ($2,735), but both fall short of what Blackberry developers earn per app each month ($3,853)

The chart above  provides a summary of some of the big findings from Vision Mobile's report on the state of the app economy in 2012."

Apple’s next iPad will be called iPad HD, to be available on March 16th

Apple’s next iPad will be available on March 16th, says source – MacDailyNews -

According to a Apple Store source preparations are being made for a big Apple Store event which will culminate on Friday, March 16th,” Seth Weintraub reports for 9to5Mac.

Apple's next iPad will break with its traditional numbering scheme in order to promote its big new feature: the high-definition screen.According to CNET Apple's next tablet will be called the iPad HD instead of the iPad 3. Apple's next iPad will break with its traditional numbering scheme in order to promote its big new feature: the high-definition screen.

Apple owns the rights to the iPad name in the U.S. and other countries (though that's being debated in courts in China right now)The owner of iPadHD.com told CNET earlier today that he registered the domain before the original iPad was announced in 2010 and has never been contacted by Apple about the domain in the years he's held onto it. and that   includes the last few weeks.Separately, iPadHD.biz is already taken, and is currently parked through a domain company that offers a way to bid on the name. And iPadHD.co.uk has been registered since February 26, 2010 (a month after the iPad's unveiling), and is also parked.

according to a new report by Taiwanese publication Digitimes, Apple will likely launch two iPad 3 models — a 16GB edition and 32GB version. While those hard drive capacities aren’t new, it would be surprising for Apple to no longer offer its 64GB capacity, which it offered for both the iPad and iPad 2. The only reason Apple would discontinue making a 64GB model is if only a minuscule number of consumers picked up that model.

Yesterday, two simultaneous reports came out stating the name of Apple’s new product would be the ‘iPad HD’ and recently more and (iM)ore evidence points to an LTE version being announced. Today, Verizon began teasing a “Something is Coming” campaign.

Apple recently announced on Monday that it has now passed the 25 billion app download mark (including free and paid iOS apps)
