GTX Corp was counting: Mobile app downloads top 3.8 billion in first half of 2010
Aug 26th
Smartphone owners worldwide downloaded more than 3.8 billion mobile applications in the first six months of 2010, compared to 3.1 billion in all of 2009, according to new data issued by market analysis firm research2guidance. Global smartphone revenues for the first half of 2010 exceed $2.2 billion, surpassing full-year 2009 revenues of $1.7 billion. The study adds that the average premium application price in now $3.60.
“Apple’s competitors like Nokia and BlackBerry started to leverage their global reach and increased the traffic on their app stores,” said research2guidance analyst Egle Mikalajunaite in a prepared statement. “We see this trend continuing in the next several months and years. The next wave of new app stores will be niche stores specializing on e.g. business or mobile health apps.”
Everything has a price, including mobile privacy.

That’s one of many conclusions to be drawn from audit, tax and advisory services firm KPMG’s new Consumers & Convergence study–the annual survey reveals that while user concerns over data privacy are growing, with 79 percent of respondents worldwide expressing angst over unauthorized access to their personally identifiable information, 58 percent of respondents also say they would be willing to allow tracking of their digital behavior and profile information if it resulted in lower costs. KPMG also notes the emergence of what it calls “Information Sharers”–i.e., mobile subscribers willing to exchange personal data for cheap or free content, as well as conduct their banking and even access personal medical information via wireless device. The study indicates Information Sharers now make up about 10 percent of the overall mobile user population, led by consumers in China and India; however, U.S. respondents represent just 4 percent of the Information Sharer segment, despite making up 12 percent of the KPMG survey group.

Apr 11th
The current iPhone is unable to run third-party applications in the background which limits certain types of apps, such as location-based services.
