Good morning everybody. Have you ever tried to download iphone or ipad applications from the Apple App Store? Oh! It doesn't matter as I would just talk about the App Stores in the way of economy.
Although the biggest App Store is being held by the Apple Incorporation, there are more than fifty App Stores available worldwide. Different App Stores have different ratio for the type of apps offered. For example, in China, there are three telecoms operators which have their own App Store. For the China Mobile, it offers only 6% for games. For the China Telecom and the China Unicom, they offer 19% and 17% respectively. This reflects that the China Telecom takes more interest about games and the China Mobile takes the least.
Someone said that almost anything goes, but there is really no right or wrong way in the mobile apps space. I agree with that as no one know the trend of this new concept about mobile applications. Who earns more money from this market, who will be the winner.
In future, I think the main business of telecoms operators will not only be the network suppliers, it will be changed to mobile application selling.
That's all I want to say. Thank you.
