I also agree about the trial software comment and that the store needs to be separated from the general store of music and movies.

I’d like to see the App Store placed underneath the “iTunes Store”, also a none linear means of viewing the store, where I’m able to open multiple apps at once and compare. I find having a name, category and icon not the best means to determine the appropriateness of an app, a list view with a brief blurb about the app and ability to click on screen shots that open over the list would be great that can easily be closed.

Cheers and a great read, thanks.

Great article.

Being an iPhone developer myself I really hope that Apple introduces trials in 2009. At the moment the store gets flooded by lite versions. Just before christmas I published my lite versions to the App Store and it’s really helping my sales. I disagree with you regarding the implications trial apps would have. I think trials would drive the sales, like the lite versions already do. There are lots of apps I would like to test before buying.

Trials would be a win for both the buyers and the sellers.

Thanks again for the great article.

I like your predictions. They seem grounded in the modus operendi apple’s shown us for the past 10 years. I think simple iphone apps are the key to greatness. That’s why I like your site so much. Thanks for all the tutorials, I’m learning a lot.

Automobiles that you can steer using your iphone accelerometer?

Actually, I’m just hoping for an API that allows me to do fast blits.
