Apart from regular features like an integrated camera, Bluetooth, WLAN, GPRS, etc, what makes the iPhone stand apart are iPhone applications. iPhone applications have become a hot topic in the mobile phone application design community. Virtually everybody comes up with a creative idea, integrate with an iPhone-like application and sell it to thousands of users through the iPhone app store.

The iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit), launched by Apple in 2008 gave iPhone application developers a global development environment to come up with unique applications for iPhone users. The iPhone SDK consists of Xcode, Interface builder, and Instruments. The applications are written in Objective C language and run on Mac OS X1.5.

Key Factors for Successful iPhone Applications

Before creating an iPhone application, it is important to know the business objectives, how it will be measured, the key performance indicators, and other metrics.

The first objective is to build and drive the brand. While traditional means to drive the brand is by brand recall, download data¸ usage data, stickiness, etc, newer methods tie with social media, and analyze the overall impact of the application within the social media circles. In addition, the application has to be an enabler and has to add value. Thus, it usually falls under one of the two categories; entertaining or useful. Entertaining iPhone applications have wider adoption, but less engagement. On the other hand, useful applications have a smaller reach, but a higher degree of engagement.

The second objective is to drive revenue either directly through the application, or indirectly through third parties. Direct revenue can be generated through advertising or downloads. Indirect revenues are generated with the help of multi-channel tie-ins with retailers or at the point of sale.

Future iPhone Applications

Many analysts have identified the following mobile apps as most likely to be popular in coming years:

Money Transfer: It will allow users to send money using SMS. It will appeal to the developing markets because of lower costs, convenience, and speed of service.

Location-Based Services (LBS): According to Gartner, LBS will grow globally from 96 million in 2009 to 526 million in 2012.

Mobile Health Monitoring: It will monitor patients remotely and will help healthcare institutions to cut costs and improve patient care.

 

Apart from these trends, innovations in car computers will be synched with iPhone apps with bigger touch screens, faster processing times, accurate voice controls, and biometric measurements.

What are the ways to let them know that ‘Hey-I-have-some-amazing-app-for-you’. Let’s find some ways to introduce and promote your iPhone app that maybe the milestone for your business’ success.

Submit your iPhone app in app stores

Apple has its own app store, which is trying really good to provide better opportunities to developers, users and business owners. If you want people to buy your app, you should showcase it somewhere. Apple is the first priority for iPhone apps, better submit your iPhone app there as soon as you complete it. Make it free for little time, just to get feedback of users that how much they liked the idea and features and correct the mistakes if you found any via reviews of users. Note that Apple will require all developer to enroll and charge a yearly fee of $99 in order to submit your apps into the store.

Market your iPhone app on every noticeable network

When you get your iPhone app approved by Apple, you can now sell your exciting app to people. For that, you need to spread a word about it. Talk about it as much as you can. You have Facebook, you have Twitter, you have Bebo, you have Friendster and you have different forums and blogs. Keep talking about it, but make sure you don’t spam about it. It will create a negative impact on your newly born iPhone app.

Create a Facebook Fan page or Facebook Group for your iPhone

Try to gather many fans on your page or group and engage them with interesting content. You can ask for suggestions, reviews, and critics. Maintain a two-way communication and never be offended if they leave some negative remarks on your page or group.

These are the sure ways to sell your iPhone apps and have enough money through monetization and recognition of your business.

Add in satellite radio and internet radio to the mix with earthbound stations and the pie seems to be getting cut up into more pieces. The Radio industry will have to look to new technologies and innovation to get healthy again. iPhone applications are one of these new innovations to watch for.

Radio is moving in a new direction with streaming audio on iPhone apps. The mother of all radio iPhone apps would be Clear Channel’s “I Heart Radio” application, which feeds off of Clear Channel’s “I Heart Radio online streaming website of 750+ radio stations. Last count showed 150+ stations streaming via I Heart Radio on the iPhone. But streaming individual stations on a giant aggregator app like this can sometimes be slow with lengthy buffering times.

Another option is for a radio station, either land based or online or satellite to have its own dedicated iphone app. Why be one of hundreds or thousands of radio stations on someone else’s app when you can have your own custom Streaming Radio iPhone app with its own icon on your listener’s iPhone screen? Your radio station gets one step closer to your audience, and your listeners have direct icon access to your streaming broadcast! Add advertising to your Radio Station iPhone app for increased revenue and social networking features to build your listener community.

A recent count in the iTunes App Store showed over 40 radio stations of all kinds with their own iPhone apps for streaming their broadcasts. From large organizations like Public Radio to smaller niche online stations like Classical Philippines Radio, streaming broadcasts via iPhone apps.

The cost to develop a streaming radio app is very reasonable if the station already has an MP3 or other compatible stream. A basic streaming radio app can cost as low as $1200.00 with optional upgraded features possible, or the app can be upgraded at a later date. The initial development cost can be offset by adding advertising, sponsorships, selling playlist music through iTunes, and more.

Will iPhone applications turn the radio industry around? Not by themselves, but this new technology should be seriously considered by any radio station that’s seeking to position themselves for the new era of broadcasting.
