    1 INTRODUCTION THEY ARE THE Appillionaires: Smart, ambitious dreamers in bedrooms and garages across the world, plotting the future of mobile apps. Th eir tools are inexpensive — a MacBook Pro and an iPhone — but overnight the Appillionaires can amass a fortune from selling soft ware on the iTunes App Store. Th ey lead a revival of the hobbyist programmer. Not since the days of the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 has indie soft ware been sold by such tiny teams of programmers to such massive numbers of consumers. Th e money fl ows to the Appillionaires even as they sleep. While they dream their Angry Bird-dreams, invisible electronic transfers push money into the Appillionaires’ bank accounts from App Stores in over 80 diff erent countries.COPYRIGHTED As much as $250 million gets MATERIAL spent at the App Store in a single month. Over 10 billion apps have been sold on the store to date and it’s estimated that Apple has signed up at least 79,000 soft ware publishers to the iOS (iPhone and iPad operating system) club. What’s remarkable is that Apple’s credibility was bolstered so much by the success of the iPod and iPhone that the rise of the iPhone app was widely predicted. Even before the launch of the App Store back in 2008, Wired magazine speculated, “iPhone soft ware development may spark a soft ware gold rush not seen since the heyday of PC-platform development in the 1990s.” 004_9781119978640-ch01.indd4_9781119978640-ch01.indd 3 88/30/11/30/11 111:561:56 AAMM 4 Appillionaires: Secrets from Developers Who Struck It Rich on the App Store THERE’S GOLD IN THEM HILLS It’s this label “gold rush” that has been most oft en applied to the App Store.

  • Rovio and Angry Birds
    Christina Liu Yanting Li Rovio and Angry Birds It all started with a simple screenshot of an unhappy-looking bird. The simple slingshot game developed by a small Finnish company, pitting various wingless birds against smirking green pigs, has become a worldwide phenomenon. Since its release in 2009, Rovio Entertainment’s Angry Birds application has been downloaded by more than half a billion people worldwide.1 Despite its success in terms of numbers, Rovio’s market prominence was due entirely to one very casual gaming application. The company had to find ways to expand their scope and generate revenue while trying to stay above their many competitors. The gaming industry has always been saturated with games, and most that achieve sudden peak popularity lack long-term impact. With this in mind, Rovio’s goal was simple - they had a hit game on their hands, and they were going to use the opportunity to turn it into something more instead of letting it fade into obscurity. Company Background Rovio was formed by three students from the Aalto University School of Science and Technology in Helsinki, Finland. After a success with a mobile game development competition, they decided to form their own company, initially named Relude. One of these founders was Niklas Hed, who now runs the company with his cousin, CEO Mikael Hed. The startup company, located in Espoo, Finland, was small, and at first the three founders did most of the work developing games. By 2005, after receiving a small investment, the company expanded to 25 people and renamed itself Rovio.
