Why is the iPhone so great?
This is a question we get asked alot and the simple answer is that it is just so well designed. The iPhone has a screen resolution of 163dpi, that is more than twice the resolution of a computer screen. It also supports movement and multi-touch in it's interface making iPhone apps very natural to use. The stability of the iPhone is also great so apps rarely crash and the implementation of the phone features is very well integrated.
The other thing about the iPhone is the way it is used. The iPhone has the single highest internet usage of any mobile divice. This is partly because of Apples insistance that all providers should provide uncapped, always on data access. So in one device you have your phone, the internet, your emails and the ability to access data or entertainment with a finger touch.
Are there any considerations when designing / developing apps for iPhone
For an app developer the iPhone has a few unusual characteristics. Firstly, it is a phone so it can ring at any moment. This means that data has to be stored as application use progresses in case it has to close in a hurry. Also, there are no buttons so the whole way the user interface is constructed has to be completely readdressed. Additionally, there is only a limited screen area so it is important that the iPhone application developer makes best use of the available screen to include all navigation items as well as content clearly and concisely.
How can an iPhone app help my business?
This depends a great deal on what you do. If you have information that you provide for people then the iPhone is the ideal medium for you. Another way iPhone application development can help a company is to promote a service as a form of viral marketing. This gives something fun or entertaining that potential customers will use and will act as an advert. The obvious reason for developing an iPhone application of course is to make money. There have now been over a billion downloads from the app store and while apps are priced often at less than a pound there is a very large potential profit to be made on highly subscribed downloads. This is even more the case with the release of version 3.0 of the iPhone OS as this delivers in-app purchasing, push messaging and bonjour peer-peer communication.
