With all the buzz that myself and the rest of the tech/mobile blogs out there have been creating for Google’s Project Glass as of late, there’s something that I stumbled upon that many of you may not have even thought about – yet. Something that was actually spotted after an ‘extensive look’ of the device by The Verge. It is said that, “The device gets data through Wi-Fi on its own, or it can tether via Bluetooth to an Android device or iPhone and use its 3G or 4G data while out and about. There’s no cellular radio in Glass, but it does have a GPS chip.” ...

According to Juniper Research’s latest report Tablet Gamers alone will spend $3.03 Billion on in-app purchases in 2016. Crazyness. If the prediction is true, this will represent a ten-fold increase on the $301 million that tablet gamers spent in 2012. The surgely undoubtedly is largely due to the rapid tablet adoption and acceptance of in-app purchases with consumers. Juniper notes that virtual currencies, rather than in-game goods, will generate the highest levels of player engagement and spending. When it comes to geographic breakdown of that $3 Billion, Juniper predicts the East will rule in both the US and China. Together these two regions alone will account for 86% of...
A new report from Distimo released today has revealed that only 2% of the top 250 publishers in the iphone App Store are “newcomers”, vs 3% on the Google Play App Store. Evidently, also only 0.25% of the total revenu from the top 250 applications goes to the new iPhone app publishers, while 1.2% reaches new Android app publishers on Google Play. If you’re a newcomer, chances are – initially, you have a better shot at making money on Google Play. Distimo examined the trends in the iOS App Stores and Google Play from October 2012-January 2013. Unfortunately, having a time frame that occurred over the holidays slightly skews...
