Mobile Monday: Android Vs. iOS

Allison Howen — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:23:00 GMT

Cyber Monday is just around the corner, yet some are referring to it as “Mobile Monday,” since many online transactions now come through mobile devices.

As of March 2011, mobile conversions were up 50 percent, and on average, 3 percent of transactions now come through a mobile device.

So with Mobile Monday driving at full steam ahead, which operating system will account for the most transactions made?

Fraud prevention solutions provider ThreatMetrix has released year-over-year data on the breakdown of transactions by mobile devices. The study reveals that mobile as a percentage of total transaction volume decreased for the iPhone by 35 percent, BlackBerry by 51 percent and the Palm by 96 percent. However, Android mobile transaction volume showed an increase of 661 percent in 2011, while Windows devices also increased by 19 percent.

“Based on our findings, the iPhone is still the dominant device where mobile transactions are taking place, but we’ve seen Android gain a lot of traction in 2011,” says Alisdair Faulkner, chief products officer, ThreatMetrix. “It’s now become a two-horse race with mobile. The question does not center around whether or not consumers will make mobile purchases this season, but which device will come out ahead on what’s now deemed ‘Mobile Monday’.”

AppMakr's AppDrop Arrives - OTA for the Enterprise

Pete Prestipino — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:39:00 GMT

Online iOS app building platform AppMakr announced an OTA (over the air) install process that allows enterprises to create private iOS app stores.

The productm dubbed AppDrop, will enable application developers to completely bypas the iTunes AppStore, and distribute the apps on their own.

"AppDrop is the latest feature from AppMakr to make the app creation process dead simple," commented Sean Shadmand, AppMakr's Chief Strategy Officer. He continued, "Users can now test their apps directly on an iOS device without having to sync manually in iTunes with a computer. This relieves a huge headache for even the most advanced developers. App creators can share what they've built with stakeholders before going to the AppStore with as much effort it takes as to send an email, and enterprises can create private app stores for their employees, allowing apps to be downloaded from an intranet or wiki, bypassing the iTunes App Store completely."
