Apple iPad Release Brings Another Source of Revenue for Everyone

Apple has gone on an all-out technology crusade this year, with the release of the iPad. Amazing performance yet again on the part one of the world's leading Software and Hardware Giants.

Whether the iPad will fare as well as the iPhone, we have yet to see. But given Apple's progress so far, I and another million people wouldn't be surprised if the iPad breaks records like the iPhone did.

What is amazing is Apple's impressive stance with the release of the latest "market breakers" :

Android updates and sets, as well as Windows Mobile gadgets this year, Google's Nexus, the Palm Pre, you name it,

Apple stood and watched.

Apple has come out strong once again with the release of another Technology sweel in the form of the Apple iPad. The UTILITY that the iPhone and iPod Touch bring to the SmartPhone market has been absolutely collossal, Apple standing strong throughout and making Billions in just App Sales commissions, offering brilliant incentives such as the "70% Payout" on all Apps sold through the App Store.

Apple has stood out as an Industry Maker with a class of its own, the "market breakers" coming and going, but not as competitive as the competition created by the sheer brilliance and close attention to detail in Apple's products.

Apple Developer Accounts are available for a very reasonable £60 a year. All applications released through the App Store have 70% of their value sent to developers. What an amazing business model! Here is a company that knows the value of keeping talent on board. Talent = Creativity = New Business Opportunities = More Revenue = More Product Launches = More Product Releases = The possibilities are Endless.

Well Done to Apple is all a lot of people are saying today, and it goes well deserved.

With the release of the iPad, Apple has added, not only another SmartPhone equivalent to the market to add competition side by side with the iPhone, but has also added another source of revenue for itself and hard-working and creative developers out there.

I encourage all Objective-C/Cocoa Developers to make their way over to http://developer.apple.com and check out the Developer Account Plans.

kind of a strong advertorial for Apple... but i can't argue the points. the thing that frightens me is that the iphone OS (version 3) is so unstable, especially in the Mail app. it seems iPad development put a long pause on development of iPhone's OS... so all of us who updated to version 3 to get copy/paste... after we got much faster and familiar with text entry, have been penalized by poor code execution and lose emails daily as the email app crashes from the poorly implemented new text features. sigh. hopefully the iPad release and development will trickle good things back down to the iPhone... and not force owners of the original model to upgrade their hardware just to run the next version...

i'm all for the iPad and iPhone, but Apple needs to spend some critical self analysis time looking at how it prioritizes; the Mac Pro line is stagnating, there's still no Blu-Ray support, the Apple TV had an OS update, but other than that nothing new since release (hardware-wise), Apple branded software is still not all 64-bit and using the much touted features of OSX 10.6 (is the iPad 64-bit?), and they're spending tons of money on lawsuits instead of focusing that money on maintaining existing product and launching new product (be that totally new or just updates) with fewer flaws and fixing those flaws ASAP.
