When Apple announced in April, 2009 that users had downloaded over a billion apps from their site in only eighteen months, many believed a new industry had been born. And when the company returned six months later and announced that users had downloaded another billion apps, people were sure of it.

As you might imagine, this news served as a clarion call to all of the other smart phone makers that they had better get to work. Since then companies have been releasing new smart phone apps as expeditiously as they possibly can in a mad attempt to catch up to Apple. But the maker of the iPhone is out to an impressive lead and has at their disposable an even more impressive catalogue.

Currently, it consists of more than 100,000 apps, with more being added everyday. While many of these apps are paid apps, more than 5,000 of them can be downloaded from the companies App Site for free. Though other companies offer free apps, Apple is far and away the industry leader. (more...)

When Apple announced that users had downloaded more than one billion apps from their site, the news sent shockwaves though the online community. It was also confirmation that apps were in fact big business. How big? Six months after Apple announced their one billionth download, they reported that users had downloaded another billion apps.

While the company does spend nearly 70 percent of the money they earn on apps for licensing fees, that still leaves 30 percent, or one billion dollars that Apple earned on Apps last year. As you might expect, that kind of revenue stream has sent every other Smartphone maker on the planet into overdrive. These companies are now obsessed with buying and creating as many applications for their mobile devices as they possibility can.

For consumers this situation presents an even mix of costs and benefits. On the one hand, they have virtually unlimited apps to choose from. (The Apps Store alone has a catalogue of over one hundred thousand apps). But on the other, the sheer number of choices can be a bit overwhelming, as there are many similar and redundant apps to choose from. That is one reason why top apps review sites have become so popular. (more...)

In today’s digital age, anything seems possible. Things that we once considered unavoidable are now simply inconveniences. In the past several years, new technology has emerged that allows individuals to carry multiple textbooks with them, in their back pocket.

Textbooks have not shrunk, rather they have been turned into digital media that can be carried on e-readers. Many websites, such as e-readers.com , note the growing craze with digital readers and how society has embraced them.

Digital readers are simply a handheld device, similar to a mobile phone, which allows users to download full print textbooks. These texts are identical to their original counter parts, except they are being read off of a digital reader. (more...)

Playing poker online is probably one of the most popular electronic activities today. There are a large number of sites available on pcs, but players are also looking for ways to continue playing, even when away from their pcs.

In April of 2009, Apple announced that users had downloaded one billion applications from their website. Because the company was the first to reach this milestone, the news served as a wakeup call to other Smartphone manufacturers. Since that time dozens of companies have been trying to catch up to Apple, but the news just keeps getting worse, for them.

What do we mean? Well, a scant six months after the company made their first announcement they made another one that claimed that users had downloaded another one billion apps. Three months after that Apple released a statement saying that users had downloaded yet another billion iPhone Apps . Are you starting to see a pattern here?

The fact is that users have been accessing these apps with greater frequency since they were first released in 2007. Why has Apple achieved such astonishing success? To begin with, the iPhone is one of the most popular Smartphones on the market today. Not only is it easy to use, but it also connects users almost instantly to the iTunes store, where they can download applications. (more...)

When Apple announced in April of 2009 that users had downloaded over one billion applications (apps) from their website in an eighteen month period, it was obvious that a new industry had been born. This assumption was later confirmed when users downloaded another billion apps in just six months time and then another billion in only three months. Altogether, users have downloaded over three billion applications in a little over two years.

As you might expect, this astonishing success has encouraged other Smartphone makers to produce new apps as quickly as they can. Though the Apple iPhone remains the current king of applications with a catalogue of over one-hundred thousand programs, other manufacturers are nipping at their proverbial heels.

This presents a bit of a mixed-blessing for consumers, who must accept the uncommon burden of nearly unlimited choice. And as application catalogues continue to grow, Smartphone users are likely to discover that finding a few good app could be a feat worthy of the mighty Hercules. Fortunately, finding the best mobile apps is possible with the help of review sites. (more...)

Facebook is much more than just connecting with old friends. There are a number of Facebook applications that are designed to make the Facebook experience more exciting and dynamic.

By now, we all know that effective weight loss is about a lifestyle change – some of the best iPhone apps 2011 have been designed in view of this fact. Starvation diets, while constantly popular, do not enjoy the kind of vogue that once they did, and the myriad pills and quick fix remedies available seem to be getting a lot more bad press.

While it is much easier, in some ways, to simply curb your calorie intake in a bid to shed the pounds, this kind of attitude is ultimately a recipe for weight gain. While severe diets can result in immediate weight loss, they also encourage the body to store any energy it does receive as fat.

Invariably, the willpower which keeps you on limited rations loses its rigidity and eventually you will end up tucking into a burger. For a starvation dieter this spells disaster: the hungry body will convert pretty much the whole meal into stored fat. (more...)

Laptop computers have made our lives a good deal easier. While in the past, work was very much anchored in one specific spot, today, we can conduct important business wherever there is a flat surface on which to place the computer and a wireless connection.

As a result, our portable computers tend to work very hard. They live in our bags, back packs and brief cases and we whip them out to surf the net while we're waiting for services, to send emails while we're having a cup of coffee or to write a quick report while sitting on the train.

All of this activity, while very useful from the perspective of getting things done, can result in a slow, sluggish computer. As we work, we accumulate bits and pieces of information on our systems and, after a while, these become too much for the laptop to process. Whether it's a result of the apps we purposefully downloaded from laptopcomputer.co, or some malicious file that found it's way through virus protection, we will eventually need to sit down and spring clean the computer we carry through life with us.

If you are about to buy a new phone contract, but you happen to have a fully functional handset, you might want to investigate the possibility of signing up for a mobile sim only deal. This kind of telecoms plan will allow you to keep your old mobile phone, but will give a new phone number and a range of benefits as well.

There are a variety of reasons to pursue a sim only phone contract. The first is, quite simply, that it is a far cheaper option that the conventional deal in which you are furnished with a new handset. In that arrangement, you are required to pay monthly instalments towards the cost of the phone, while in this, paired down variation, you will only need to cover the cost of your talk time.

If you are a fan of green living, you also have considerable reason to keep your old handset. Instead of throwing away a perfectly functional phone so that it joins thousands of others in a land fill somewhere, why not keep it a while longer? (more...)
