Approval for apps for iOS platform surpasses 500,000 mark

Yesterday was a big day for Apple as the number of individual apps passed for its iOS platform surpassed the 500,000 mark. However, if we look at the active apps available in the Apple Store, there might be approximately 40,000 of them, but the thing worth mentioning here is that the number of approved apps is a great thing in itself for developers and app seekers alike.


With the aim of celebrating this occasion and highlighting others since the Apple App Store launched on July 10, 2008, an infographic was yesterday unveiled by 148Apps, independent mobile app blog, along with Chomp, the leaders in app search technology, and Chillingo, a top app game developer. They have included top apps of all time, number of developers contributing to the 500,000 number, a timeline of approved apps, growth projections and more in this infographic.
Well, we have got a few amazing statistics for you from the infographic:


  1. Do you know, you will have to shell $891,982.24 and over 7 terabytes to get all available applications?

  2. While nearly 36% of all apps are free, paid apps have an average price of $3.64.

  3. The numero uno paid spot for the total 275 days has been held by Angry Birds released by Chillingo and developed by Rovio.

“The fact that it has taken less than three years to reach this number is remarkable. With the improved tools for developers and steady adoption of smartphone technology, I anticipate there is still a lot of runway,” expressed Jeff Scott, founder of 148Apps on this milestone.


Meanwhile, the Android Marketplace, which came into existence 8 months after the Apple App Store in March 2009, is considered to be the closest competitor to the iOS App Store. It contains nearly 294,000 apps and 3 billion app downloads.

It has one main button at the bottom of the screen and everything you do consists of tapping app icons from the home screen. iPhone is packed up with good battery life than android phone. iPhone devices carries syncing in a better way than android .If you really use Outlook, Address book or iTunes than iPhone is the better and good option for you. iPhone also wins the trophy in the field of game and music from Android.

Android expertise in these areas:- Android is surely beating iPhone in several ways .Android phone is the invention of Google so if you rely on google tools than android is the better option to go. The biggest benefit of these phones is that you can customize the wallpaper which you like, no need of jailbreak software like iPhone. What we really like in android is that it is based on open source.

Which phone is a better option:- In the term of economic sale iPhone is ahead because it is an old platform and every year we are introduced with new iPhone version while android is just out a few months before. Apple's has vast numbers of stacked in its favor. It gets huge discounts on components, because it buys so many at once.

Recently, some news outlets claimed that Apple would release the iOS 4.2 on November 12 but it never came. This released was delayed by Apple because the company needed time to fix some iPad WiFi connect issue.

The Art Of Developing Website.

When it comes to web designing and development; if you are expecting your website to draw the kind of attention it deserves, then you must put a lot of hard work and smart work together to make it a possibility. Follow the golden rule of 6 steps to earn your website its rightful place among the echelons of websites dealing in businesses online. These 6 steps are as follows:-

Step One – Gathering the information: One has to have a very clear understanding of what he/she aims to achieve through the website and what means would he choose to undertake the task. The second question to ask would be the goals which the person wants to achieve through this website. Who would be the target audience for such kind of online activity?

Step Two – Planning: After the gathering of the information, comes the stage of planning. In this stage processes are undertaken:-


  • Considering the various technology options available for web designing.

  • Creation of the site map that lists down all the main-topic areas in the website along with the sub-topics so as to facilitate the ease of navigation on the website.

  • Outlining the basic features that you intend to be showcased in the user interface.

Step Three – Design: This is the most important step in the process and needs to be thought out many times in advance before actually approaching the development of the website. The look and feel of your website would be determined by your website design. Always keep in mind your target audience while proceeding with the design work of your website.

Step Four – Development: This is the step of genesis or the creation of the website. The steps which go into the development of the website are as follows:-



  • Creation of the homepage.

  • Creation of a “shell” for the interior pages, which serves as a template for the other content pages of the website.

  • Distribution of the content throughout the website.

  • Other major elements such as ecommerce shopping carts, flash animations etc too are made functional at this stage.

Step Five – Testing and Delivery: This is the time to give attention to the finer details. In case of web browsers, compatibility issues, if any, need to be resolved. XHTML and CSS are the basic technologies used in web development.After all these formalities are taken care of, comes the phase of the website launch. An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program is used to upload the web site files to your server. Just a last run-through would be required before your website goes LIVE on the web.

Step Six – Maintenance: This step is often ignored by web developers and has lead to the downfall of many promising websites. Updating the technology is an integral issue in maintenance and when it comes to the content, it needs to be updated with a CMS or a Content management system.

For more information please feel free to contact A-1 Technology.

A Guide To Improve Online Marketing

Without a comprehensive knowledge of Online Marketing no Marketing Manager can expect their company to survive these days.Whilst marketing on the Internet involves very similar principles, the means and methods are different and so we’ve produced this simple guide to introduce you to the basics of online marketing:

SEO: Search Engine Optimisation or SEO is a way of promoting your business online by optimizing your website and its content for the Search Engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo. The companies that rank highest for certain search terms or ‘keywords’ get the greatest number of visitors.

Paid Search (PPC): Using Pay Per Click (PPC) ads, you can immediately begin advertising your products. But the important benefit of online advertising is that you are only marketing your goods or services to people that are looking for them!

Article Marketing/Press Releases: Article Marketing is a very cost effective way of getting people to visit your website. It means placing high quality, relevant, well written articles on your website or submitting them to the best article sites. Articles serve two further purposes. First, they build your credibility online by demonstrating your expertise. Second, they provide lots of the inbound links we wrote about above.Press Releases are similar, they are keyword rich, they provide inbound links but they also raise online profile. Just like offline PRs, don’t release unless you think it’s newsworthy.

Email Marketing: Email marketing is often wrongly called ‘spam’. A well-written and thoughtful email marketing campaign should be aimed only at people that want to receive your messages. Like articles, fill them with informative and relevant content and keep the sales pitch gentle. Build credibility and rapport by offering something of value. Sending thousands of these messages costs nothing, which means that you can afford to pay for a good copywriter to create your emails for you.

Social Media: It’s not a phase or a fad; Social Media Optimisation is the latest place to begin developing your online marketing. Facebook and BEBO allow ads, but better than this, you can give a face to your brand. Loyal customers can interact with you and offer direct feedback without the need for focus groups.

Blogging: Blogging is a less formal way of article marketing and a great way to build a following. YouTube is a very popular way for people to communicate to thousands of people with a simple video. Releasing your ads on YouTube can cause them to spread across the world, so whilst you still pay production costs, your distribution costs rapidly shrink. Video Marketing is one of the latest and fastest growing sectors of the online marketing industry.

Blended Approach: As with any good marketing campaign, your approach must be a blend of off and online marketing strategies. Combining all of these different parts of the online marketing picture will allow you to develop a dominant position in this new marketplace.

How HTML 5 Effects Multimedia?

One of the biggest developments in HTML 5 is how it affects multimedia presentations on the Internet. Most notably, the clumsy, encumbered, 'Object' tag has now been replaced with specific, orientated tags, such as 'video' and 'audio'. These changes seem minor, but they allow the developer to add specific attributes for browser based multimedia processing. The vector processing, using the tag 'canvas', allows a developer to section off an area of the webpage in which pictures, animation, chart, games, and interactive elements can be directly coded, with no plug-ins required.
HTML 5 will probably not look much different from your everyday web browser, and Google Chrome with Google Gears is a good example. It provides local offline application use, as well as local database storage to ensure speedy web browsing and application processing.
As with XML and other emerging Internet standards, CSS is not only an option, but a requirement in HTML, it will form the backbone of any HTML 5 compliant website to ensure it processed perfectly while allowing multimedia to fit in with the look and style of your website. This may make life more difficult for amateur web developers, especially those who focus more on multimedia and presentation rather than coding, but it is a skill well worth learning.
HTML 5 does include a lot of additional benefits to multimedia, my favourite of which is geo location. While they have released few details on exactly how this is being implemented, the geo-location functionality will allow automatic tagging (to your pictures, videos, Twitter, YouTube etc) and give huge functionality to Geo-dependant applications, which you may use to track your progress on a round the world trip or similar. This has however raised quite a few privacy concerns, some of which are well founded.

The power of HTML 5 in multimedia is only just being realized. The most important aspect is the ability to include web based applications with increased accessibility and utility. This capability not only guarantees the user will be able to view what you want, but also interact with it on an unprecedented scale.

Game Programming

There’s something almost magical about the fact that we can move images around and interact with virtual worlds, a living fantasy presented for us to interact with however we please. I’ve always wanted to make games myself. There are a just few steps which you have to follow during your game project such as follows:-

First of all, learn how to program. If you don't know how to program, I would recommend starting with Python. Once you have picked up a language and know how to program, you need to decide which language you want to program the games in. Engine developers create the core of the game, the engine, the stuff that powers up the actual game. If you choose this route, you will have to deal with all the low level details of programming. For this, you should pick up C or C++ since most of the engines are coded in these languages. The other path is to actually code the games, using a previously coded engine. To make games, you need certain extra libraries. To make games, you will need libraries for graphics, event handling, networking, etc. If you're using Python, Pygame is an excellent library for beginners that provides almost all this stuff. Start playing with the library your have chosen. Read its tutorials online. Learn how to make simple stuff like rectangles, circles, load images, etc. Try to make some animations. After you have coded it, move on to a slightly complex game. Once you get comfortable, you can go for 3D games.

I hope this approach helps you out in your game programming endeavors ! If you need more insight into game programming, visit A-1 Technology for more details.

Creating an HTML Page

A web page is created using a language called, Hypertext Markup Language, better known as HTML Code. You can write your own coding within a plain text editor, such as Note Pad, or use an HTML editor, which will write the code for you.
HTML codes, also referred to as HTML tags, are enclosed by the lesser than (<) and greater than (>) brackets and may be written in capital or lower case letters.
The opening bracket is followed by an element, which is a browser command, and ends with the closing bracket.

An element may also be followed by attributes, which are words describing the properties of the element, and further instruct the browser.

Attributes are only contained in the opening HTML tags to the right of the element and are separated by a space and followed by an equal (=) sign.
The value follows the equal sign and is enclosed in quotes.

SHORT TAIL VS LONG TAIL

A place for everything, and everything in its place is the key to success with short and long tail keywords when you are leveraging social media for your online ecommerce endeavor.
As you probably already know, SEO is quite important in your social media marketing campaigns, and understanding short and long tail keywords is also important!
Which works the best for social media marketing? Short tail? Or Long tail?Actually, the basic truth is that there is value in both.It seems that short tail keywords are useful for creating interest and driving traffic. Long tail keywords, on the other hand, come into their own when you’re talking conversion.
So, there is a place for each, and perhaps having a better understanding of when and where to use each type of keyword is key to using them wisely and to the best purpose.
Here are some pointers for building a great keyword strategy that you can quickly and easily work into your overall marketing campaigns, including social media marketing:
Facebook: A lot of ecommerce entrepreneurs are getting good results with short tail keywords in the little sidebar ads.

Bear in mind that everything on Facebook is search engine indexed, and you can better understand the importance and benefit of long tail keywords in content.
Twitter: First and foremost, when thinking about using either type of keyword for Twitter, you have to remember that everything is in real-time. So your best bet here is short tail keywords! Also remember that hash tags are keywords, as well.
YouTube: If you are using YouTube as one of your social media marketing platforms, which is definitely a good idea, keep in mind that Google actually owns YouTube and accesses it constantly, thousands of times a day. So, be sure to optimize your YouTube content that accompanies your video with long tail keywords.
Stay on Top of Metrics: There are a variety of free services and tools available on the World Wide Web that will help measure your social media marketing effectiveness and results, as well as showing you which areas you need to improve upon.

XBRL - Better and Faster.

XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language.The XBRL Specification is developed and published by XBRL International, Inc. It is one of a family of "XML" languages which is becoming a standard means of communicating information between Businesses and on the Internet. It uses the XML syntax and related XML technologies such as XML Schema, Xlink, XPath, and Namespaces. The XBRL standard gives financial professionals unprecedented control over preparing, analyzing, and communicating financial information, whether numeric or text. XBRL provides a computer-readable tag to identify each individual item of data. By attaching identifying tags to individual pieces of data, a business reporting document becomes “intelligent” data, allowing the exchange of business reporting data by encoding the information in a meaningful way. Computer applications can use the XBRL data to recognize the information in an XBRL document - selecting, analyzing, storing, and exchanging it with other computers and present it in a variety of ways for users.

XBRL, promises to web-enable the financial reporting process for both preparers and consumers.
