Apple's App Store statistics

The people at pinchmedia has done a terrific job of compiling Apple App Store statistics. The following presentation has a lot of useful insights for all involved in building iPhone apps:

On Apple shares

Enough said:

Right away, one ought to notice the staggering growth rate in both revenue and earnings that Apple displayed in 2008. Apple’s real revenue grew 54.5% from $24.637 billion in FYE 2007 to $38.041 billion in FYE 2008 — a full $13.4 billion growth in revenues. Even more impressive is Apple’s 81.2% growth rate in adjusted net income. For a company that is trading at 12 times 2008 earnings, it doesn’t take a genius to conclude that Apple is severely undervalued. Especially since Apple currently trades at about 3.37 times its cash position — which is objectively and significantly lower than every other large cap tech company.

GOOG trades at 7.18 times its cash position, RIMM at 15.51 times cash, AMZN at 9.15 times cash, MSFT at 9.13 times cash, CSCO at 3.62 times cash, IBM at 10.96 times cash, INTC at 6.54 times cash, and HPQ at 5.15 times cash. What is more, only GOOG, AAPL and MSFT have no debt of the companies mentioned above. Apple has the largest net cash position than any of those companies and Apple has more net cash than RIMM, GOOG, AMZN and IBM combined.

Via Daring Fireball. That could explain today's gains.

Apple soundtrack

With only Mac OS X sounds, this guy composed a music, using, of course, GarageBand. How geek can you get?

iPhone vs Symbian

The following graphic, proudly copied from a TechCrunch post, blowed up my mind: I was expecting a big success for Apple's iPhone, but not this kind of numbers, this is huge!

The next Apple product?

bordalix — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 07:19:00 -0500

It's a rumor, so treat it like that, a rumor. MacDailyNews reports the next Apple cutting edge product will be what someone called the MacBook Touch:

Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion's haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at "low" price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.

I was wondering what would be Apple's 2008 breakthrough product. Guess I found it. I recall to see some photos of this, but I lost them, do someone knows where to find some mockups of the possible MacBook Touch?

A tale about security

bordalix — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:23:00 -0500

Once open a time, a company which had a lot of people using his digital media player, pushed people to use his browser through an 'almost automatic' software update. People complained about this behaviour, others defend it, and there was what someone called a nano-scandal, and a lot of people installed the new browser.

And then there were the bad guys (cause a tale has always bad guys), who found a way to break into someone's computer through a bug in the referenced browser. So, the company was/his installing a lock into a lot of personal computers, and someone has just found the master key.

Bad timing? Bad luck? Or karma?
