Temporary Apps

Apps come and go, just like trends there are several reasons for. Examples of apps like these are apps which responds to a popular item or the topicality. For example Unox launched a few weeks ago (when it was possible to skate) the WinterExperience App. With this app they located all the skate locations in the Netherlands. 

The future of apps

There are currently more than 20,000 iPhone applications available in the Apple App store. That means the creation of 2000 apps monthly worldwide. These numbers show that applications are indispensable for current mobile devices. Some even think that mobile applications will mean the end of the internet as we know it today. But is that true?

The App Store

The App Store is an online software store where software can be purchased. The software, also known as apps, includes programs for smartphones and other devices like tablets, car radios and media players. In the App Store you can find apps for free, but also paid. They can be very useful, but also foolish.

Worldwide, there are four major suppliers of Apps. The App Store of Apple with more than 500,000 applications, the largest online software store. Second is the Android Market of Google Android with approximately 350,000 applications. Other well-known online software stores are BlackBerry App World, about 50,000 apps and the Ovi Store by Nokia, about 50,000 apps.
