Book part: The Cloud, the Store, and Millions of Apps
Abstract
The 1.5 million apps for the iPhone can be used
for thousands of purposes. Many are cloud-based
services, even more are games and simple utilities.
The idea of Software as a Service is to have one
instance of a program running on a central server,
and only one browser to access these programs.
From mobile devices it is more effective to access
services from apps than from browsers, meaning
that every user will need many apps. Moreover, hardware
sensors are equally or more important to apps
than cloud access. Rather than thinking of apps as
software services, we should describe them as actors
in a network where developers, users, and Appleās
hardware, programming environment and App Store
are important parts.
