iOS vs Android
According to the count, the applications available for download in systems iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone 7 combined, record the mark of 991,524 apps. The survey does not include applications for Symbian, for older versions of Windows Mobile applications and Palm WebOS, and the unofficial applications, offered in alternative shops and independent sites. Regardless, the research shows how big is the market for applications, and how this market grew in a few years.
The application market began "in earnest" with the arrival of the App Store, Apple, in 2008, and from there to here a lot has changed, with developers encouraging other manufacturers around the world to create apps for its stores. Additionally, Android and iOS systems together have surpassed the milestone of 1 million applications, but much of these programs were removed from their stores over time.
According to the survey of Mobilewalla, Apple continues to lead the industry with 59.6% of total volume (591,428 applications). Android is in second place with 32.3% (321,020 applications), followed by BlackBerry, with only 4.4% (43,544 applications), while Windows Phone, with just over a year old, already has three 5% (35,248 applications).
The survey also reveals that Apple receives about a thousand new applications per day, while the Android Market apps receives 1,400 / day.
Another fact is that the applications market has doubled in the last 12 months, and that the categories that receive more applications are entertainment (16.68%), games (13.36%), lifestyle (8.02%) and utilities (7.13%).
In addition, the applications market can yield a lot of money for companies that manage to stand out. Gartner says that mobile applications can generate a total revenue of U.S. $ 15 billion in 2011. Since Juniper Research believes that profits may reach the mark of U.S. $ 32 billion by 2015.
