App Store SEO: The Impact of iTunes Web Preview

http://feedproxy.google.com

When iTunes web preview pages first appeared for songs and albums the industry was abuzz with the possibility that iTunes could be migrating to the cloud. iTunes preview has so far had little impact on how we use purchased media content, but it has had a huge impact on how we find iTunes media content on the web, especially with iPhone apps. The iTunes web preview pages are an enormous draw for search engines and consistently rank high in the results when searching for the names of apps.

Why Apple Should Buy Adobe

http://feedproxy.google.com

The rumors of Adobe being bought by Apple come up every so often. Apple could easily afford such a purchase and the results would be interesting. I would love to see Adobe restructured by a company like Apple. Adobe has many applications that are the gold standard but it seems to lack focus. These are my thoughts on what Apple could do with Adobe’s biggest apps and make everyone’s life a lot easier.

The iPad will have a default set, too, but it won’t necessarily include all the familiar apps you know and possibly love.

Microsoft Courier Shaping Up as a Truly Novel iPad Competitor

It may be a little early to say this, but to me it seems like Microsoft took all the disappointment and fear resulting from Apple’s dominance of the mobile devices category over its own products through the years and used that energy to create the Courier. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen another company’s product and thought “That seems like something Apple would’ve made.”

"The best camera is the one you have with you" is an old photography adage, and Apple may be looking to extend that principle to its iPhone.
