For myself, my colleagues and for all the people interested in this domain.  Mostly this blog is in Romanian, with thoughts of moving to English.

Until this decision I’ve made a Facebook Page for the blog, with news as soon as they are published.  I’m going to post only in English, or with a short description of the news… Let’s see what will happen.

Until then, you can check the Facebook Page and see for yourself.

Very fast, if you’re asking me, considering that one of my wishes for the New Year was to write at least one post on my major blogs twice a week. The month ends now and unfortunately I wasn’t able to write anything.

Not sure yet is just writer’s block or anything else. I have to try this week to stay in front of the computer with Dark Room in full screen and write something on a subject selected. For this I need to gain from somewhere some time. So I guess this will be the next step, to fight for some time…

Practically they are saying that they will not make you act and feel like a regular Android, iPhone, Symbian or BlackBerry user, you will not be depended on your phone, you will forget about it in all the situation presented. Though, I think that one of their goals is to make you dependent of their products. So… how I will use the handset intensive if I’ll not be addicted to my phone? Hm.. tough question, if you ask me :)

An interesting article on Wall Street Journal.

Global consumers are expected to spend $6.2 billion at mobile application stores in 2010, while related advertising revenue will generate $0.6 billion worldwide, according to Gartner, Inc.

Mobile app stores will exceed 4.5 billion downloads in 2010, 8 out of 10 of which will be free to end users, Gartner analysts said.

Worldwide downloads in mobile application stores will surpass 21.6 billion by 2013 and will generate more than $29 billion in revenue.

“As smartphones grow in popularity and application stores become the focus for several players in the value chain, more consumers will experiment with application downloads,” said Stephanie Baghdassarian, research director at Gartner. “Games remain the #1 application, and mobile shopping, social networking, utilities and productivity tools continue to grow and attract increasing amounts of money.”

Free Apps Dominate

Free downloads will account for 82% of all downloads in 2010, and will account for 87% of downloads by 2013. Free applications have value because the developer charges for other things within the application. There are also applications that are free to use but that charge for physical goods delivered through the application. Others derive their revenue from advertising. This is done with banners as well as full-page advertising such as that between game levels in game apps.
