iMac Delay no-more. New Apple iMacs still on track for late November, and December

iMac Delay no-more. New Apple iMacs still on track for late November, and December

Earlier last week..   I wrote an Article about the possibility of the new apple iMacs possibly being delayed until next year due to welding and assembly issues.   Sources via 9to5 say that Apple has already begun shipping the new 21.5″ iMacs to distribution hubs across the United States and several other countries across the world.  The same sources expect the 21.5″ iMacs to be available to order online via Apple’s online store by the end of the month.   The 27-incher also appears to still be launching next month in December and there is  a large probability of both of them appearing on the Apple Online Store at the same time.   It should be noted that during Apple’s latest earnings call,  CEO Tim Cook went on to  say that: “On the iMac we’ll be constrained for the full quarter in a significant way… there will be a short amount of time to manufacturer and ramp those and I expect demand to be robust… we will have a significant shortage.”  ...

Apple App Store reaches 1 Million Apps | But is it really 1 million?

Apple App Store reaches 1 Million Apps | But is it really 1 million?

As of Today, Monday November 19th, 2012.   Apple has approved more than 1 MILLION Apps in the App Store. This is according to App Store discovery company Appsfire, and was announced this morning via twitter. Congrats!!   Co-founder of Appsfire Ouriel Ohayon told The Next Web that,   “Of the one million app submissions since 2008, 493,289 were paid and 158,848 were games. Of the 736,247 apps that are currently live 336,270 are paid (around 45 percent), while 120,065 are games (around 16 percent). The app count includes iOS apps only and doesn’t account for Mac App Store apps.”    While it’s unlikely Apple will make a press release disclosing the achievement, it’s still an accomplishment worth recognizing.  The Store itself is accessed by a large percentage of Apple’s 400 million iTunes account holders, accounting for 35 billion downloads in it four year life.   Apple has historically seen developers remove their titles from the App Store and has been forced to uphold copyright notices (also removing infringing apps and generally policing its storefront).  Because of this,...

App Industry Trends | 3 HOT Trends going on RIGHT NOW.

App Industry Trends | 3 HOT Trends going on RIGHT NOW.

It’s funny how I was just talking to my friend Isaac about this just yesterday.    Basically what I was saying was..   “I think that it’s such an exciting time to be alive, and especially in the mobile/app industry – and honestly, I think that the App Industry is really where the future of job creation will be.”  #1 ..after reading a recent stat by the folks over at W3i it appears that the “App Economy” has actually ALREADY created nearly 500,000 jobs in the US since the inception of the industry back in 07′   Not to mention that developers (programmers/coders) are among the highest paid jobs.  According to a survey from the staffing firm Robert Half International: mobile app developers can expect pay increases of 9% from the average of $92,750 to $133,500.   Additionally..    more employers are becoming more accepting of the use of mobile devices in the workplace and perhaps even profitable.  Employee mobile device usage is expected to rise to 90% by 2014.  ...
