via visionmobile.com | Download

Mobile Developer Economics 2010 is a global research report delving into all aspects of mobile application development, across 400+ developers segmented into the eight major mobile platforms: iOS (iPhone), Android, Symbian, BlackBerry, Java ME, Windows Phone, Flash/Flash Lite and mobile web (WAP / XHTML / CSS / JavaScript).

The report provides an unprecedented range of insights across all the touch-points of mobile app development, from selecting a platform and designing an app to receiving the profits. The full, 57-page report comes complete with more than 25 actual developer testimonials and more than 30 illustrative charts.

The full report covers:

- Why do developers choose a mobile platform?
- Platform features: which aspects of their platform do developers perceive as being most important?
- Planning techniques: what are the most popular methods developers use to plan their applications in terms of features and target segment?
- App stores: which app stores are used, based on the developers’ platform of choice?
- How much cross-pollination is taking place across Android and iOS developers today?
- Developer challenges: what are the top-4 challenges developers face when taking their applications to market?
- Revenue models: what are the most popular revenue models and in which cases are ad-funded models used?
- Network operators: what do developers think is the role of network operators? Supermarkets, service enablers, or bit-pipes?
- User Interfaces: which platforms offer a good UI design environment and which not?
- Open source: where do developers use open source and what do they see as the key challenges

Music Magazine Uses Mobile Tech To Bolster Edit Content

Instead using Mobot mobile technology for advertising and gimmicks, Death + Taxes. an indie music, culture and politics magazine uses this technology to deliver additional value and user experience - and found sponsores to pay for it.



Vanessa Voltolina writes on Foliomag.com
" ... readers (can) use their mobile phones to send MMS text messages or e-mails of the November/December issue pages stamped with red icons (camera, video camera or head phones), which represent additional content waiting for download. Snapping a photo of the picture on the page and texting it to “dt@mobot.com” will show additional editorial interactive content like MP3 tracks, videos, and still photos."

more on Foliomag about DT use of existing Mobile Apps

dt-mag informs its user on the coming issue

"The next issue of Death+Taxes is on stands now! And it’s a doozy. Not only is it Jay Reatard’s first cover, but the issue has some sweet interactive content waiting for you up in “the cloud.”  To get it, all you’ll need is a cell phone with a camera that can send MMS text messages or e-mail. You got one? Great. Let’s do it ..."

Men's Health schickt seine Verkaufsberater aufs iPhone seiner Nutzer

Basierend auf dem kürzlich vorgestelltem iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update für das iPhone und iPod Touch, schlägt Men's Health (in den Staaten) ein neues Kapitel für ContentBIZ auf.

In Kurzform:
Die User lädt sich im Apple iPhone/iTunes App Store die (erste Anwendung von) Men's Health Basic Workouts herunter

Das kostet schlappe 1,99 USD und beinhaltet Anleitungen und Fotos, sowie die Möglichkeit den Fortschritt des Trainingsprogramms durch die 18 Workout-Programme und mehr als 125 Übungen zu verfolgen.

Unter 'Expansion Packs' (Foto) kann und soll dann der User innerhalb der Anwendung ergänzende und weiterführende Inhalte und Services (ab einem Preis von 0,99 USD) nachladen, nachkaufen. (Webpage)

Mal weiterspinnen am Beispiel Men's Health:
Wer in das Basic Trainingsprogramm einsteigt muss ja auch Essen, also könnte man hier z.B. auch das Ernährungs-/ den Diätplan andocken und weil man ja auch was anziehen und gut aussehen muss ... (kommerzielle Angebote mit eingeschlossen) ... und weil es nicht nur Männer auf dieser Welt gibt, könnte diese Lösung demnächst auch für Frauen, Kinder, Greise auf den Markt kommen.

Die neue Funktionalität des Betriebssystems von Apple, sollte die ContentBIZ Industrie ganz schnell auch von allen anderen Smart Mobile Anbietern fordern ... es könnte ein Standard-Feature werden, für alle die Inhalte (z.B. Bilder, Video, Musik) und Anwendungen zu 'verkaufen' haben und damit Geld machen wollen.

P.S.
Auch die Ngmoco 'Star Defense' und Pangea Software's 'Enigmo' haben die Funktionalität bereits umgesetzt. Dort kann man zusätzlich Galaxien bzw. (Spiel-)Levels zukaufen.
