iPhone iPod Plus

Adrian Kosmaczewski knows how to work profitably with the development of programs for iPhone.

Meet for two iPhone owners to show they are no pictures, but the applications on the phones. Apps are the new content?
So far, I would not go. But the taste of a certain person comes into the apps on his iPhone expression.

How many apps you have on yours?
How about a hundred.

And how many do you need every day?
Perhaps one quarter of it.

What is your present favorite?
They are several. Echofon, a Twitter App, or byline, a Google Reader, and many more.

They develop and teach other iPhone programs in it. What is more fun?
Both. Itself is to develop creative, but to share his experiences, also makes a lot of fun.

How much experience you have to bring along if you want to write an application?
You should already have a programming language like C + + work. Who has been using JavaScript and the like, needs to learn some rethinking.

Could the popular phone animate boy to go into the programming?
There are already talented young people who enter directly onto the platform and success.

Programming is one thing, an app to successfully commercialize any other. Brings a one-man operation now both out yet?
Yes, after all, I am myself a one-man operation. Sure teams of specialists have at least as good a chance of success. I hope, however, there was still much more successful one-man operations that are sympathetic to me.

Most apps are free. What does it take so that people are willing to pay?
We must, as always, offer added value. Something that people really need. This includes also bring apps, real fun. I’m generally not a big fan of free apps.

Your taste all that?
I ask for most of my apps 1:10 francs or more.

Is that your apps that sells best, even those of you expecting this?
No, that was a real surprise. I learned a lot from it.

What was it?
I would not say. But as a tip for all: never go with just one app to the start, always offers different things.

What kind of applications is particularly promising at the moment?
Anything that can be geographically locating itself, is a strong trend. Exciting is “augmented reality” that combines real photos of the current environment with information from the Internet. This trend will hold in games and social networks feeder.

What are your experiences with the admission to the App Store?
Well so far. Apple has much improved since it rained last year protests.

Older platforms such as Symbian or Windows Mobile have never raised so much interest. Why?
In my opinion, Apple has managed to be the first to offer all the necessary pieces of the puzzle. In addition, the well-integrated platform, many end users, includes strong marketing channels and a good developer tools.

From Google’s Android, an open source project is also expected much. Would an open-source iPhone prefer?
Frankly, I prefer working with a stable platform with many users, with the result I can earn my income, as a political discussion about openness. Android is the way, not quite as open as Google says there have also been excluded developers.

How do you explain it is that Apple launched the iPhone on top in all seriousness, without Apps?
I think the intern was simply not ready yet, a lot was probably long since been initiated.

Do not be afraid that could be followed by the steep rise of the iPhone, a rapid case?
No, not at all. I see every day or more users.
