The iTunes app store is a new industry
The iTunes app store was one of its kind on the internet when Apple opened it in July. But in the next 6 months the idea is set to be adopted by several companies. Google has announced that it has plans to expand into the market, while T-mobile, Microsoft and Symbian are expected to follow. Developers will be able to sell downloadable applications that will make mobile phones more useful and entertaining.
The appeal of an online app store is evident. 60 million apps have been downloaded from the iTunes app store. The store had an average of $1 million in sales everyday for the first month.
The app store is increasingly worrying for Microsoft in particular since the iPhone buzz is starting to dig into Microsoft market share in the Mobile Phone operating system market. Microsoft is expected to launch the Skymarket where it will sell apps for its operating system, Windows Mobile 7, which is expected to be released in 2009. Google will be doing so a little earlier as their Mobile operating system Andriod is anticipated to arrive later on this year, for which it will open the Android Marketplace. Which I think will be a significant blow to Apple since the andriod will be capable of operating on a range devices and therefore its app store will have a much larger market.
