Shoot That Birdie on Windows Jan 19, 2011 09:47 GMT Shoot That Birdie on Windows There are three things you need to know about gamers: they are mature, they are geeky, and they are appreciative. And at Rovio Mobile they know that. The company has released Angry Birds for Windows 7 and Windows XP, and the long-awaited game is now available in the Intel AppUp center at a reduced price of $5. There is hardly anyone who hasn’t heard of Angry Birds for iPhone, Android and Symbian^3. The game is a hit among smartphone owners and was long- expected by PC users, also. The plot is simple: all users are to do is to shoot wingless birds at hostile pigs with a sling. The evil pigs are concealing the eggs stolen from the flock of the user’s birds, and that’s the reason of their being furious. The birds are simply stylized; the pigs are yet simpler-looking and, wait a minute, green, but the battlefields collapse in such a fun way that the overall comical impression gets you addicted to the gameplay. You don’t just throw the birds around, you have to set a proper trajectory to get those pigs, and it gets harder and harder to do. Pigs tend to hide in gradually more secure places that are hard to ruin, like wood, ice or stone. The birds, however, vary as you proceed to the subsequent levels, kind of evolving and producing explosive eggs and such. The iOS version of the game was purchased over 12 million times from Apple’s App Store, which made Rovio Mobile develop the game for other mobile platforms and even release a version for PlayStation 3. And now PC users have their chance to fight for the bird justice, too. Windows 7 and Windows XP users can purchase the game from the Intel AppUp center for the reduced $5 or for the full $10, if unlucky. Speaking of which, unlucky are Mac OS X users who still have to wait for further application development (www.intellectsoft.net) for the game to be released for their operating system. The Windows version of the game runs smoothly in a full-screen HD mode with a 1680x1050 pixel resolution and boasts as many as 195 additional levels. The producers of Angry Birds promise to provide players with the same frequency free updates as iOS users enjoyed. Thus another wave of downloads, reception analysis and investments is soon to come. Playing business becomes gaming business. It is nice to know that game producers care. It’s all about revenue, obviously, but they realize that gamers are mature, that gamers are geeky, and that gamers are appreciative. A London-based company with offices in Belarus, Germany, and the USA, Intellectsoft, Ltd. is a leader in providing cutting-edge mobile solutions and unique mobile applications for a range of smartphone platforms including iPhone, Android, Blackberry and WinPhone7.

  • Kik Messenger Remains a Contender in Messaging App Space
    ← Distimo iOS App Update: Publications, Ad Tracking, Metrics and More Leo’s Fortune Follows Monument Valley, Generates Over 50% of Total Revenue in First 7 Days → Kik Messenger Remains a Contender in Messaging App Space Posted on May 14, 2014 by Scott Reyburn It’s been a wild year so far in the global mobile messaging app space. With many more months left in 2014, the dust has yet to settle on the messaging app battlefield. Major messaging app players have been acquired, funded or added a significant amount of new features in 2014. In February, Japanese Internet giant Rakuten acquired messaging app provider Viber Media for $900 million. A few days later, Facebook purchased mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion. The following month, U.S. IPO-bound Albiaba from China led the latest round of funding for messaging service Tango, investing $215 million of the $280 million in the round. In early May, ephemeral photo messaging startup Snapchat added a text chat component to its mobile app. The new text messaging feature put Snapchat in the same realm as messaging app juggernauts such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. One messaging app that has kept developing new features is Kik Messenger from Watlerloo, Ontario-based Kik Interactive. We flipped through estimated downloads data from Distimo AppIQ to benchmark Kik’s Sign up Sign in current foothold in theAnalytics messaging appAppIQ space.

  • A Multiple-Case Study of App Stores
    App stores for owners: a multiple-case study of app stores Ewoud Bloemendal – [email protected] August 28th , 2012 Utrecht University Master Business Informatics Department of Information and Computing Sciences Supervisors: Dr. Slinger Jansen (Utrecht University) Dr. Marco Spruit (Utrecht University) Abstract This research aims to help app store owners translate their app store strategy into app store features and policies. At first a definition of app stores is given to scope the research. After that literature is studied to identify app store strategies. This resulted in an app store strategy model that models the app store strategy based on four dimensions. A multiple case study was performed on six app stores: Google Play, SlideMe, Apple Appstore, Binpress, Amazon appstore for Android and Intel AppUp. This study aimed to identify the features and policies used by app stores. The six sequential case studies resulted in an app store classification model with 67 features and 24 policies. The classification model is categorized based on the main influenced app store characteristic. In the last part of this research a mapping is made between the dimensions of the app store strategic model and the features and policies. 1 Preface This master thesis document marks the end of my time studying for the Master Business Informatics at Utrecht University. It is the result of many hours of hard work spanning over eighteen months’ time. During these months I have found that its true what they say: it is not about the destination, it is about the journey. And what a journey it was! Since the start of my graduation research I lost twenty-five pounds of bodyweight but gained five of it back later, I went on seven holiday trips to get my mind back in shape, I lost many of the convictions I held dear but found new ones along the way, I experimented with countless productivity tools until settling on a simple kitchen timer and I created over forty different versions of my thesis resulting in the one in front of you.
