According to the latest Appcelerator quarterly report.. Apple’s iPhone and iPad continue to lead the way for most desirable platforms for developers.

Strum allows you to shoot 15 second clips and create musical sensations with the push of a button. Seriously. Just how you would go about adding a filter on Instagram, Strum has built-in filters for video that don’t just change the look of your video, they give it a soundtrack as well. I can certainly foresee Strum as being the next app to hit the top of the Free charts. Smule (the creators of Strum) has also released AutoRap, Sing!, and magic piano.
