Who makes iPhone, iPad Apps ?
I reviewed 167 apps for this week's Infomanager, and of 167, 97 were
from outside the U.S. That means nearly 60% of the sales of those apps
in Apple iTunes stores will go to non-American Developers! A typical
surprise for me is how a developer in Bandung, Indonesia might write a
good app for American Children about Christmas? Interesting, eh?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
01 Nettelator supercharges your social networking fun
NeXT, Mac OS X and iOS legend, Stone Design has created a brand new
ADN (App.Net) social network client, Nettelator 1.0.1. Leveraging on
it s Twittelator Neue for Twitter, Nettelator is a robust client with
