Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 8, has had a less than inspiring start.
Enterprise AppsTech recently covered a Forrester report which warned that the nascent OS would be overlooked in the enterprise, with industry statisticians NetMarketShare reporting only 2.67% overall market...
If I was paid every time I have heard this quote from AppsGeyser app makers I would be sitting under a tree on a tropical Island drinking from a fresh coconut. So many people have jumped straight into app making without taking the necessary steps to make sure...
It was almost a year ago that Apple was showing off iOS 6, widely regarded as a disappointment after its banner feature, Apple’s in-house maps solution, proved difficult to love. But there’s been a change at the top in Apple’s iOS division and a chance to bring iOS, largely looking the same as it did in 2007, up to speed with recent innovations from Android and Windows Phone. Here’s what we reckon the OS needs.
“Xbox, on!” Many gamers rejoiced when this phrase was said at the grand reveal of the latest iteration of the best-selling console of this generation, the “Xbox One” (sorry HTC One’s marketing team.)
Let’s take a look at all you need to know.
Most impressive is the software architecture used; or rather the three used.
There’s a Xbox OS for gaming, a Windows (8) OS for handling apps and UI, and a third OS which acts as a layer in-between allowing for literal instant...
HTML5 looks like it’s losing the native app vs. mobile web war. According to a new Flurry study, users spend more than two hours a day interacting with apps and only about half an hour on the mobile web. From VentureBeat:

Previously, Unity’s tools would have cost $800 to release on both iOS and Android, although deploying to PC, Mac, and the Web was free...

Microsoft’s latest Windows OS launched to a lot of criticisms, many of which both developers and consumers alike are hoping to see resolved in the first major “Blue” update, so let’s take a look at what we know so far.
The final update is likely to be released at Build 2013 in June, but four leaked builds have made their way online already giving us a glimpse at what to expect.

iOS, Android and Windows are the leading mobile operating systems, right? Well, don’t write off BlackBerry just yet.
This week, the company’s execs have been making a...
Freemium is damaging the games, but do you know quite how much? Recently I had the fantastic opportunity to sit down with a group of game developers who spoke passionately about their development, the industry, and how freemium is hurting their creative ideas and real game innovation.
The term is thrown around a lot lately; the act of releasing a game for free then charging for “premium” features later on in order to monetise...
Many games have had to switch to this new model, as is the case with Star Wars: The...
