It was good enough Apple, who was first – and so far is also greatest – with its apps store, the App Store, but the phenomenon goes much farther than the iPhones and IPAD.
Thus Samsung busy preparing its apps store for TV platform, which goes into the air in a few months. TV viewers, or users, as it now should be called, can go online and download various applications in entertainment, news, games, etc.
A logical step when you look at apps-model merit, and more are waiting in the television scenes. Thus, Google reported on the road with a television setup box with Android OS and apps store, Android Market will undoubtedly follow over to the television platform.
Another example is Snapfish, a photo service owned by the world’s largest IT Company, Hewlett-Packard. With Snapfish, you can go beyond to save and share photos also bring them into operation.
In the form of calendars, mugs, t-shirts and the like covered with photos or by having them printed and sent. This model has so far resulted in some 85 million users, and it must be seized. With an App Store.
Snapfish has now opened its platform to external developers and created an unlikely win-win situation for all parties. Users have access to a range of unique apps (typically for photo design and editing, at least initially), developers have access to a large market, and Snapfish will have an extra source of income.
We will see more apps models in the future. And hopefully they will not all look like Apple’s top-down model.
