Apple faces multiple challengers for application market

摘要

Application store pioneer Apple captured 12 per cent of the mobile apps market in 2008, according to figures released in May by Strategy Analytics. However, the analyst said that the iPhone App Store's value is significantly lower than twelve per cent of the total market value due to intense competition between developers.rnThe original App Store's favourable revenue share for developers has created a tremendous buzz and fostered innovation, resulting in a high volume of downloaded applications.
