iPhone App Prices Fluctuate As Developers Adjust To OS 3.0; Nav Apps Gain Pricing Power
|
Ever since OS. 3.0, the latest operating system for the iPhone, launched on June 17, prices among the top 100 apps in the iTunes App Store have been fluctuating wildly as developers push out apps taking advantage of all the new features in the OS. Some of the new features we are starting to see in apps include push notifications, turn-by-turn navigation, cut-and-paste, embeddable maps, access to external accessories, search within apps, and subscriptions.
Mobile app distribution service Distimo just put out its June iPhone App store report As you can see from the charts above, the average pricing among the top 100 paid apps was pretty steady until the middle of the month, when developers started to test different price points. The most popular price for an app remained $0.99, but the month of June saw more top apps priced at $1.99, $4.99, and $9.99 (the green bars on the chart above).

Are You Cashing In With Chitika? [Video]
|
|
I’ve been testing Chitika on two of my sites for the past two weeks.
So far so good. It’s a great compliment or alternative to using contextual ad programs like AdSense, Kontera, Infolinks, etc.
Here’s a video with an overview of how it works…
Note: Using Chitika and AdSense on the same site/page does not violate the AdSense

Obsessed With Shoes
Diego Dolcini Lace Up Jeweled Sandals
|
|
I have just recently become more aware of the fabulous designer Diego Dolcini, and he is quickly becoming one of my favorites. He is not new to the design scene, having done sexy collaborations with Bruno Magli, Emilio Pucci, and Dolce & Gabbana, and he reigned as Creative Director for men's and women's shoes at Gucci. His Dolcini line is very popular in Europe, and as I discover more and more european designers, I am positive we in the US are being jipped out of the best shoes. Thank goodness for ecommerce.
This gorgeous shoe is his lace up jeweled sandal and features a combination of fine materials. It has grey suede, silver leather, and silver Ayers snake cut-out straps and thin reinforced eyelets with Grey ribbon laces. Of course, the focal point is the jeweled heel. It is 4.75 inches and covered in asymmetrical crystals. This shoe also has a 1 inch platform. $1,958 at LUISAVIAROMA.COM  .

W+K, Total Immersion Create Augmented Extravaganza for Nike
|
|
Total Immersion, the Euro/L.A.-based cats who've helped spearhead the augmented reality movement, are at it again with a new project for Nike. Teaming up with Wieden + Kennedy, the company's launched an augmented reality slot machine that will debut this weekend in Chicago at the laboriously titled Nike 6.0 BMX Open Dew Tour.
A BusinessWire press statement breaks down how it works:
"Every visitor to the Nike tent will receive a scratch-off card, offering a chance to win a pair of Nike 6.0 shoes and additional prizes - all based on the spinning wheels of the first-ever AR-generated slot machine. To activate the slot machine, the attendee displays the card in front of a camera, and his or her image is projected onto a larger screen. On screen, the card morphs into a big 3D slot machine that then appears in the attendee's hand. The slot machine counts itself down and automatically spins - and if three matching images appear, it lights up and rings to celebrate the winner. Several winners will be declared daily."
The slot machine is just one of a couple AR installations that attendees can revel in, giving them a BMX experience minus all the cuts, bruises and glory.

Lakers Photos
Artest to Lakers, Ariza to Rockets
|
|
chantastic posted a photo:
Gah! This is the last time we'll ever see this team together as the Lakers just signed Ron Artest after Trevor Ariza's agent turned down the Lakers offer of $5.6million a year.
On the one hand, I'm disappointed because Ariza had become my favorite Laker.
On the other hand, Artest is exactly what the Lakers need - a tough guy who can make things difficult for the opposing teams best guy. He can also be Kobe's Marty McSorley.
Additionally, who's to say that Ariza won't just become another Luke Walton or Devean George after signing a long term contract? Signing with the Rockets, who many believe will not be contenders next year, tells me that Ariza is more interested in getting paid than winning. Artest, on the other hand, is passionate about playing for the Lakers and living in Los Angeles. I always felt that he got a raw deal with the Detroit brawl. Artest is a known quantity while Ariza had one good post-season.

Based on the graphs that Automattic provides us with, it’s actually not that difficult to estimate how much Wordpress.com will grow in 2009. Which, of course, was a temptation we couldn’t resist!
