There is an App for that: The Future of the Mobile App Store

Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:30 PM

MIT Enterprise Forum of NYC Presents:
There is an App for that: The Future of the Mobile App Store

Share/Bookmark
How will the App store impact the future landscape of technology development and commerce? With the advent of the iPhone, Andriod, Blackberry and the move to mobile computing it is becoming clear the real power is within the mobile application marketplace. The Apple App store for example has become the dominant marketplace for mobile software innovation and is vying for more control with the newly arrived iPad platform.

As the competitive landscape for apps heats up, what will the effect be on the marketplace? What will the future be for application development, standards, business strategy and investment? The panelists will share their experience and vision on what the future may hold and how it will impact current business models.


Among the issues we will discuss:
Idiosyncrasies of the Apple vs. the Android App Store
Payment barriers of converting one system to another
Finding technical talent for each technology
What is the best revenue model for each platform?
Are there tools that will help port applications from one system to another?
What is the quality of apps with regard to service plans?
Why is one app more wildly successful than another?
What effect will the demise of unlimited data plans have on apps?
