No Surprise: The iPhone App Store is #1
Posted on March 3rd, 2009 CommentsSome highly paid researchers at Global Intelligence Alliance found out what we already knew: the iPhone is the leader in mobile applications due to the App Store.
Global Intelligence Alliance Group (GIA), a global leader in customized Market Intelligence services and solutions, has released an analysis of Mobile Application Marketplace initiatives, which indicates that Apple’s App Store is ahead of Android by Open Handset Alliance (OHA) and Ovi by Nokia, based on its timeliness and number, variety and appeal of applications available.
The analysis was conducted along five parameters which GIA deem to be key success factors; time to market, the ability to attract developers, the rate of device adoption, an efficient interface and user experience, and having a critical mass of attractive applications.
And Net Applications reports that mobile Safari is by far the leader in mobile web browsing with a 66% market share.
