Now, commentators on a panel at the VentureBeat’s MobileBeat conference have suggested that the number of apps will grow by 100,000 a year and that in ten years we may see 10 billion mobile applications. The BBC reports: “Apps will be as big if not bigger than the internet,” according to Ilja Laurs, chief executive of GetJar, a leading independent application store. They willRead more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/07/one-year-on-56000-iphone-apps.html Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:31:56 +0000 A year after the launch of Apple’s application store, some 56,000 applications are now available for users of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

That judgement is based on the comparison on the keyboard and email functionality with the Blackberry. This new iPhone ‘Office’ ad suggests that the App Store might just change our view of the device: while for many of us we find our work days spent sending and receiving missives, Apple reminds us that there’s much more to running a business and the phone “might just have an app” for all those other tasks we should be doing instead.Read more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/03/kids-by-mgmt-performed-by-the-mentalists-on-iphones.html Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:56:24 +0000 This video shows the band The Mentalists play ‘Kids’ by MGMT on their iPhones and iPod Touches.
