also the little guy. I listen to a podcast out of England. it's a small outfit and they made an iphone app. They may never make an webos app. And what does suck is that the little companies don't seem to want to get on board. Also i'd want most of those. it wouldn't make me happy if only half came.
Update the current apps. Music player, video player, google maps, youtube all would need to be brought up to snuff with the competition in terms of features, ease of use, responsiveness of the apps (the last is more of a touch screen not responding thing but it's annoying). But a year on why can't the youtube app log into my youtube account? Why hasn't the music player been made the equal of the ipod app? That's just me but it's what i personally look at.
Business Space. As a side note i think these are some apps and companies that i think would be worth pursuing if you want to start attacking the business space as opposed to the consumers apps. Because most businesses aren't gonna order 5000 touchpads so employes can watch Hulu. So i'd look to for example:
- salesforce.com
- quickoffice
- pages
- Numbers
- AutoCad
- SAP
- cisco
- oracle
- Analytics
- Sketchbook
- Airstrip medical diagnostic apps
- Dropbox
- Medscape
- Epocrates
I also think there is great growth in the music production, like audio production companies like Korg, products like Rebirth. There are tons of ipad music production apps doing everything from beat makers, synthesizers, recording, and tons of other stuff i'm above my paygrade musically. Also and design space. Like drawing apps. Whether it's for publishing, are, or interior design. I've seen software that does that.
Now the sad thing is 99% of first list i've been waiting for a year and a half for with little end in sight.
