Games Are The Most Popular Apps On Smartphones And Tablets
Source: https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/welcome
Games are the most frequently used apps on both smartphones and tablets.
According to mobile analytics company Flurry, games account for 39 percent of time spent in apps on smartphones, and 67 percent of app time on tablets. Games’ ability to engage users is one reason they are the biggest moneymakers in Apple’s App Store.
Flurry also found that smartphone owners use more apps per week, but tablet owners’ app sessions are twice as long. This is why many in mobile believe that tablets are a more promising advertising platform than smartphones, as we discussed in our mobile advertising report.

Adobe and Greystripe partner for ads that convert Flash to HTML5

When you complain about Apple’s products lacking Flash support, we figure you’re talking about games and video, but web developers have to make a living too, right? That’s why Greystripe and Adobe are working together to bring ads to iDevices all around, with an intriguing technology that might one day enable the real reasons we want Flash as well. Like the Smokescreen demo we saw last week, Greystripe can reportedly transcode the banned content to HTML5 on the fly, and it’s apparently impressive enough that Adobe’s signed on to create an interactive, crossplatform ad solution (also on Android and Java devices) priced and market specifically to rival Apple’s own. With Apple’s distinguished record as keeper of the walled garden, we’ll see how well that goes, but we’re definitely interested in other possibilities for the company’s code. Full press release after the break.

Proof That Apple Is Invading the Game Market
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5499467/apple-invades-the-game-market
One year and—barely—nine months. That’s what it has taken Apple to invade 19 percent of the total US portable game market, while the PSP sunk from 20% to 11%, and the Nintendo dropped 5%. And that’s only revenue.
Taking into consideration that games in the App Store are cheaper than in the PSP and Nintendo, and that 30,000 titles have been released since its July 2008 launch, I wonder if the actual unit sales figures are quite larger.
In the general gaming category, Apple has taken over 5% of the market, while the rest of the portables have increased to 24% from 20% and the home console market has dropped to 71% from 79%. Knowing about these sharp increases—and knowing that iPhone games are still in their infancy—it’s not surprise that game developer are choosing the iPhone en masse.
Another reason for Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft to worry about the iPad. [Flurry]
