This monthly report is provided courtesy of WIP, and is based on the

entries from the WIP App Store Catalog (http://www.wipconnector.


com/appstores), the leading resource listing app stores for mobile
developers.
One year ago, the WIP App Store Catalog featured just 32 stores;
since then, it has more than tripled, giving developers an un-
precedented array of distribution outlets. The overall growth has
been driven in absolute numbers by independent app stores -- a
reection of the fact that todays smartphones allow for open
distibution channels, and that anybody with a decent level of
technical skill could conceivably start their own app store. But its
worth highlighting the growth in a few other areas.
The number of app stores run by platform or device makers
doubled over the year, from 11 to 24, with much of the growth
coming from makers of Android devices launching their own
oerings to run alongside the Android Market. Meanwhile, the
number of operator-run stores more than tripled as companies
around the world jumped on the bandwagon, they too installing
their own stores alongside platform and device makers oerings.
This highlights what will be a key trend in the app store space
for 2011: a high level of jockeying for position between compet-
ing providers as they seek to dierentiate themselves from each
other, and capture users attention, downloads and ultimately,
spending. Competition will grow intense as companies seek
to use nancial incentives to draw in developer and users, and
whatever leverage they can from their position in the value
chain.
While the ow of new app store entrants will continue, 2011
could see a signicant shakeout as weaker third-party stores fall
by the wayside, and even some bigger names lose out to the
changing market (see Symbian Horizon for an example). While
certain features like rev share and user billing should move
toward parity, other unsolved problems like discoverability leave
huge scope for competition and opportunity for innovation.
For more thoughts about what 2011 will bring for mobile develop-
ers and the mobile industry as a whole, be sure to check out the WIP
teams predictions at http://www.wipconnector.com/blog.
