App downloads top 1 billion during the holiday week

On January 3, 2012, In Apple, Gadgets, News, by TomFray

During the holiday week (by which we mean the seven days between the secularized celebration of a Christian holy day timed to replace a pagan winter festival and the beginning of a new year in the Gregorian calendar) the iTunes App Store and the Android Market combined to reach a record-breaking 1.2 billion downloads according to analytics firm Flurry. The sudden surge in downloads is no shock considering the impressive number of activations on Christmas day, but a 60 percent jump over the week of December 4th through December 17th is still quite a feat. Check out the source for a few more details.

App Store hits 15 billion downloads, $2.5 billion paid by Apple to developers

On July 7, 2011, In Apple, Gadgets, by klubetor

It’s hard to believe that the App Store has only been around for three years, but it’s easy to believe that its successes are many. Very, very many. Apple has just announced that it has rolled over the 15 billion mark for downloads, that from a selection of 425,000 apps.

Yamaha’s TNR-i app lights up iOS with its musical stylings, dashing looks

On June 30, 2011, In Apple, Gadgets, by fuistaszej3

We’ve seemingly unearthed a whole lot of alternatronica in the past few days (not that it’s a bad thing), so you’ll understand when we enter yet another combatant into this abstract ring.

News Corp’s ‘The Daily’ pub to hit iPad in January?

On December 18, 2010, In Apple, Gadgets, News, by Lobo

We heard News Corp’s “iPad newspaper” The Daily was on track for release in early 2011, but AllThingsD is hearing something more specific — week of January 17th, in fact, with the caveat that the launch plans have “moved around a couple of times in the past few months.” From what we’ve gathered previously , The Daily will be published daily (surprise, surprise) and cost 99 cents per week (about $4.25 per month) and might leverage a new App Store subscription payment system that could be announced at an Apple event. So… nothing definitive, really

Bing 2.0 brings better Facebook integration and the impressive Streetside to iPhone (video)

On December 16, 2010, In Apple, Gadgets, Wordpress, by Lobo

Microsoft just released — or should we say, Apple just approved — version 2.0 of the Bing search app for iOS devices. In addition to several other new features including integrated Facebook Likes on search results (really!?) and in-app checkins to Facebook and Foursquare, Bing now comes packing Streetside, something we first saw as Street Slide when it was still in the labs at Microsoft Research. Unlike Google’s Streetview that requires a lot of forward- and back-clicking and turning in order to get a feel for a location, Streetslide provides a more comprehensive view of the shops and businesses in an area by letting you strafe down the sidewalk while zooming in and out of the buildings located on each side of the street.

Google Voice apps returning to iPhone app store

On September 18, 2010, In Apple, Gadgets, by Lobo

It’s been a long time coming — now native Google Voice apps have finally returned to the iTunes App Store. This, after a fourteen month hiatus in which we saw an FCC investigation into the matter that culminated in a loosening of App Store restrictions.
