App Store Detailed Profiles (1HY 2010) This report provides in-depth review of 27 major smartphone application stores. Each app store profile is built around screen captures of the store interface and developer portals. From these images, an analysis is provided of the available page elements, showcasing their functionality and assessing the possibilities they provide for users and developers. The objective is to support any corporate application developer in making the decision of where to publish their smartphone application.
Each application store profile includes high-level assessment according to several criteria that can assist with store categorization and evaluation.
- Content: The extent and type of potential downloadable items within a store.
- Access: Each store has one or more possible interfaces through which users can access and download content.
- Devices: Stores are either single- or multi-platform, and may provide smartphone content only or support both smartphones and feature phones.
- Developer Resources: Stores range from simply accepting submissions, to providing a full developer portal that may or may not include a software development kit (SDK).
- Maturity: The overall user experience within the store interface is also an important factor for publishers and developers.
The application store detailed profiles are a part of the comprehensive “Global Smartphone Application Market Report 2010 (Update: 1st Half Year 2010)”Published By: research2guidance
Date Published: Aug 2010 * * * * * * Business Strategy: 2010 Retail Mobile Banking Vendor Survey - Mobile Strategies Begin to Take Hold This IDC Financial Insights report of 13 U.S. retail mobile banking solution providers once again provides some interesting insight into the current mobile banking landscape. Some of the more interesting trends that have emerged are the growth of downloadable applications and the decrease in the perceived threat of the mobile providers. "It appears that the teams have been picked, and that financial institutions for now are in the driver's seat when it comes to the future for mobile banking. Carriers are content selling data plans as opposed to generating revenue from banking transactions," says Marc DeCastro, research manager, Consumer Banking, IDC Financial Insights. "What is more pressing is that many financial institutions continue to view mobile as a defensive strategy or they are pairing it with online banking and bill pay. While defense can certainly be a strategy, it can quickly become a liability if the channel is not properly marketed and maintained." Published By: IDC
