Whenever a new Apple product is released there’s an incredible buzz surrounding it, and with the iPad 3 it was no different. An unprecedented amount of people placed pre-orders, resulting in a shortage of the device early on. In the end, 3 million iPads were sold in the first 3 days that they were on sale. But what makes them so appealing?

First on the list of new features is the “retina display”, which has a significantly higher number of pixels-per-inch than the iPad 2. This gives the images on screen a smoother, more natural appearance, but for it to work the source images need to be of this resolution, and so app developers will have the unenviable job of redeveloping all of the visuals of their apps.

Next up is the new Apple A5X chip, which greatly increases the processing power of the iPad. While some of this additional power will be going towards running other new features, the excess will allow app developers to create more complex apps involving even more complex computation.

Also added was the new 5 megapixel camera, which is capable of recording full 1080p video to keep up with the improved display. While there are more obvious uses of these new features, the increased image clarity can improve the results in apps based around human interaction. App development in this area is largely based around novelty at the moment (Zombie Booth, Bald Booth etc.), but as the technology grows more reliable a whole new range of opportunities is opened up to app developers.

Last of all, the new iPad 3 has inbuilt 4G capabilities in the higher-end models. While this technology isn’t available in all areas of the world yet it won’t be long until it is, and so this is an investment in the future more than anything else. Once working, this will allow people to have an incredibly fast wireless internet connection, something that is becoming increasingly necessary as cloud-based storage becomes more popular.

While the new changes brought in with the iPad 3 aren’t revolutionary they are significant enough for it to be worth buying, although it’s worth considering that it has only been a year since its predecessor was released. If Apple can sustain this rate of improvement then their future will be an exciting one.

With the increasing variety of listening options available to consumers music promotion is becoming more difficult. The internet provides a fantastic platform for all artists to show off their music to large audiences, so to stand out from the growing crowd a musician needs to know how best to use it, and app developers are well placed to help them with this. Targeted app development can allow artists to create a personalised space that they can use to provide fans, and potential fans, with information such as tour dates and release dates. By integrating feeds and features from other useful music apps such as Last.Fm and Soundcloud, app developers can increase traffic to the artist’s pages on those sites through them all being linked together. The app itself will also increase the overall audience, as people will likely download it purely through curiosity.

Promotion through app development also has the huge advantage of portability; nowadays people spend an increasingly large amount of time using smartphones and tablets wherever they go, be it while working out at the gym, commuting to work or just relaxing at home. With this comes a plethora of advertising opportunities, and musicians can enlist the help of app developers to maximise their visibility wherever people are.

Everyone wants to go mobile. Whether with mobile app developers, mobile website development or mobile advertising. According to a recent study – the problem is that very few know how.

Here in the UK, app developers have worked with many of the larger companies in the country. Even a handful of small-medium businesses in our local area in Manchester are beginning to develop mobile apps. In reality there are many mobile solutions but few offer the flexibility and connectivity offered by mobile apps. But many can be very effective when used as part of a full mobile strategy. Mobile app development, mobile website development and mobile marketing can work together to multiple the marketing impact exponentially!

Below are the biggest problems according to a survey by IDG Research.

(1) THE REALITY GAP

• 71& of senior IT leaders see mobile as transformational or strategic
• Yet only 18% have a comprehensive strategy

(2) MOBILE SKEPTICS ABOUND

• 56% are unclear on the business case
• 49% don’t see success from their mobile investments
• 39% lack time or resources
• 34% don’t know how to measure TCO (total cost of ownership)
• 32% don’t feel pressure from customers or partners to go mobile
• 24% have not investigated mobile

(3) MOBILE EXPERTS NEEDED

• 50% of enterprises lack mobile developers
• 62% of mobile app developers either custom build or develop apps that need heavy tweaking

App developers come in all different forms – we focus on business and enterprise apps which still requires its fair share of creativity. But games app developers and designers for apps are even more in the creative realm. This is a snippet from 2011 by a leading games app developer.
