Upgrade Pricing Finally Coming to App Store?
Friday, 05 March 2010

itunes upgrade discount

UPDATE: Or not, as this dialog’s been around for a while as per 9to5Mac’s @llsethj. Sad now.

ORIGINAL: Developer Frasier Spears posted the above “curious” iTunes dialog to Twitter. It appeared when he hit “Update All”. We have no way of knowing exactly it means, but we’re hoping it means upgrade pricing is finally coming to the app store.

As background, one of the problems still facing developers has been the inability to offer paid upgrades. Either they had to give away new versions for free, or they had to create new apps with no way to discount the price to existing users.

That’s led some developers to slow down or stop making major improvements to their apps (since they can’t count on upgrade revenue), and it’s led to backlashes when releasing new versions as new apps.

In an ideal App Store, developers could choose to give existing users a discount when they upgraded.

 
Major Smartphone Vendors Pulls The Plug In OZ
Monday, 22 February 2010
ChannelNews: Struggling phone Company Palm has pulled the plug on their Australian operation according to Company executives based in Singapore. A key contributor is believed to be reluctance by both phone carriers and retailers to stock the Palm Pre a competitor to the Apple iPhone.

The decision comes despite the Company having a significant base of former Palm Treo and Centro owners. Executives of the Company have failed to explain why they chose to exclude Australia in the launch of their new Palm which is sold in Europe, the USA and Asia.

Calls and emails to US PR executives have not been returned. Calls to their Australian operation reveal that the Company shut up shop some weeks ago with a new Company taking over their former office space. A Palm executive in Singapore who did not want to be names said "We no longer operate in Australia. We have in place support arrangement for current customer but we have no office there anymore".

Globally Palm is struggling to compete up against the iPhone and the Blackberry as well as a new wave of Google Android based Smartphones. A European analyst at the recent World Mobile Congress in Barcelona said that he doubted whether Palm would survive up against an onslaught of new Smartphones from vendors like HTC, Samsung, LG and "Android" manufacturers.
 
Telstra launches new iPhone app for Mobile FOXTEL
Monday, 22 February 2010
Telstra has launched its first Mobile FOXTEL app for Apple iPhones. It makes switching between and loading Mobile FOXTEL channels -- including FOX8, FOX Sports News TV, Fashion TV and MTV – even more intuitive.

The new app features easy to use menus and an on-screen channel selector that lets customers browse up to 31 channels with the flick of their finger.

The scrolling channel selector can be accessed while subscribers are watching a TV stream and means customers don’t need to interrupt their mobile TV viewing when searching through alternate channels.

Another useful feature is an integrated TV guide that shows at a glance what’s playing and what’s on next across the range of channels.

FOXTEL subscribers with an iQ set top box can also use the app to remote record television shows while out and about.

The app works on both Next G™ iPhone 3G and 3GS models.

As with the Mobile FOXTEL streaming service introduced for iPhones in October last year, video delivered via this app is tailored to the iPhone’s large display and high-speed data capability. Streams also feature stereo sound.

The good news for existing Next G™ iPhone Mobile FOXTEL subscribers is that they will be able to access their subscription automatically via the app once it is downloaded to their iPhones.

How to access the app

The app, which is exclusive to Telstra Next G™ iPhone 3G and 3G S customers, is available now to download from the iTunes App Store. You can check it out on an iPhone or computer browser here.

Data charges apply to access and download apps from the iTunes App Store.

Apple wants to cut iTunes TV show price
Friday, 12 February 2010

Apple is in talks with US television networks to begin selling TV shows on iTunes for 99 US cents, half the current price, to coincide with the release of the iPad next month, newspapers say.

The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal said the talks between the California maker of the iPod, iPhone and new iPad tablet computer and networks were ongoing and had not been concluded yet.

During the unveiling of the touchscreen iPad in late January, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs touted its TV-viewing capabilities. The iPad is slated to go on sale in late March.

The FT, citing "people familiar with the discussions," said offering some TV shows at a lower price would be aimed at testing whether a reduced cost would spur video sales on iTunes.

Single episodes of most TV shows on iTunes currently cost $US1.99 in standard definition and $US2.99 in high-definition.

The FT said some US broadcast and pay television networks had agreed to the lower prices after initially resisting Apple's push.

The Journal said Apple had already begun testing a price of 99 cents for certain shows on iTunes.

The newspaper quoted a "person familiar with the talks" as saying the lower prices would be a bid to "ignite the video part of iTunes," which has been a small contributor to iTunes revenue so far.
