Updated On Appstores.info: Apple App Store for iPad and iPhone

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Apple announced new figures for its third quarter, and we have updated appstores.info accordingly:

  • Apple began selling iPads during the quarter, with total sales of 3.27 million
  • There are 100 million iOS devices out there now

Additionally, 1.7 million iPhone 4s were sold in the five initial countries. Apple also told 5 billion applications have been downloaded so far with a total revenue share for developers of 1 billion USD. Please note however that these figures haven’t been updated since Apple announced the iPhone 4.

Tim Cook, Apple’s COO, was particularly positive about iPad’s sales:

It took 20+ months to sell the first million iPods. It’s one month for iPad. It’s not taking a typical early-adopter curve. Our guts tell us that this market is very big. And the iPad is defining the market.

Distimo Monitor: iPad and Google Android Market Support

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

It is our pleasure to announce the release of our new version of Distimo Monitor, which now has full Google Android Market and Apple iPad support. The most important new features of this update are:

iPad Support

Last month Apple released their iPad and developers are now able to publish apps for this device. In this release of Monitor we offer all functionality that was already available for iPhone applications, but now also for iPad apps!

As of now, Distimo Monitor distinguishes between iPhone and iPad rankings. iPad rankings are displayed as an icon that shows the back of an iPad.

Google Android Market: Downloads & Revenue

Distimo Monitor is the first analytics tool that provides detailed insights in your Google Android Market download & revenue figures. Monitor now offers stand-alone support for Google Android Market; also available if you do not have applications in other stores. Monitor now automatically imports your Android download data and calculates the downloads & revenue per day.

Improved Filter Bar

As a developer, you want to quickly find the information you are looking for. That’s why we redesigned our filter bar. The new filter bar now lets you easily find the application you are looking for by entering a part of its name in the search field.

Additionally, the new filter bar lets you sort the applications or countries based on either the name or number of downloads, enabling you to quickly analyze the applications that are performing well.

Chart Exports

You can now export any chart from Distimo Monitor as an image. After exporting you can use this image for your internal or external communication.

We hope you will find this new Monitor version useful!

If you have an application for iPhone, iPad or Android, start using the free Distimo Monitor now on: http://monitor.distimo.com

iPad: The App Store And The iBooks Store

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Steve Jobs announced the iPad at his keynote a few hours ago. Aside from all the features of the device, he talked about the App Store and the iBooks app/Store as well. The iPad will be able to run (almost) all applications currently available in the App Store for the iPhone/iPod Touch. These applications will either be resized to fit the screen or developers can optimize the application for the larger screen of the iPad. These applications can be downloaded using the App Store and new applications that have been designed just for the iPad will be highlighted.

Besides the App Store itself, the iBooks app will be available for download in the App Store allowing the user to read and buy books. Books will be published in the ePub format, allowing publishers to embed multimedia directly into books. However, the iBooks app is not yet available in any other country than the US: “iBooks available in the U.S. only.”

There is no information yet on the revenue share of the books sold through the iBooks app. We will update this post when we know more.
