Smartphone applications represent the new land rush for mobile technology vendors, and the new gold rush for software developers. Apple’s App Store model has achieved great commercial success, imitators have emerged, the great business model to become the new mainstream trend in the terminal. But for ordinary users and developers, condone this model may not be growing is a good thing. The consumer had to accept restrictions on consumer freedom attached to some of the things on this platform, Take the iPhone, and soon the user must endure in their own cell phone ads brought iAd. Moreover, sometimes it was kidnapping developers have to accept some of the original developers seem unbearable things, such as profit sharing. Now, Apple does have full control of the platform. Compared to this control, the Microsoft monopoly is simply not worth mentioning. The reason is that Apple has too much of their platform, right, or even prohibit landing an application platform as well as restrictions on their programming tools.

 However, the key point of the matter is that if Apple and other companies, determined to fight smart phones and tablet PCs create the future of personal terminal, and replace the personal computer mainstream. Then the App Store as its associated products, will accompany that stage of their development.

Moreover, good app still makes life easier for people. For Example, WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. It’s more convenient than SMS because you can not only share photos and sound recording with your friends, but also your geographical location. This very popular app has been widely used around me and my frinds.
