With the introduction of the iPad, Apple has opened a new window of opportunity for software developers. Programmers who work on iPad development to create new user apps can have access to many resources offered by Apple. Since the iPad uses the same operating system as the iPhone and iPod touch, apps developed for any of the products will be compatible for use on the others. Since the introduction of the iPhone, users have downloaded apps over three billion times from the App Store. Many of the applications are offered at no cost by their developers, while many others are available for reasonable prices, often as little as ninety nine cents.

The best seller lists of iPhone apps include many games, but also books and other entertainment products, along with tools for computer users are popular in the App store. One of the early best sellers in the App Store was a program for personal budget planning. Many programmers get into developing apps for the iProducts hoping to become wealthy by piggy-backing on Apple’s worldwide sales machine. Some of the early app creators became “instant” millionaires by selling their apps through the App Store. Software engineers see iPad development as another way to tap into the growing market for Apple products.

When the iPhone was first introduced to the market, the only apps available to everyday users were those created and supplied by Apple. Soon, however, the phenomenon of “jailbreakers” appeared – people who figured out how to hack into their iPhones to install their own apps. It didn’t take Apple long to see the commercial potential in all of that creative energy, so they created the App Store as a place for developers to offer their apps to the world, many for free and others for sale. Along with the App Store, Apple also created a registered developers program to encourage more iPhone application development.

Apple’s registered developer program gives developers access to an excellent range of tools to help in iPhone and iPad development projects. Optimum7 is proud to be an Apple Iphone, Ipad and IAds Developer. Our services include coding and editing tools, testing tools, and tools for easily creating the user interfaces for apps.

Once an iPad app is ready for the real world, Optimum7 can list it in the App Store for you. We can then set the price for the product and Apple pays our client 70% of the sales revenue. Developers who sell through the App Store get access to all of Apple’s world-wide marketing power at no cost other than the revenue share they give to Apple. The App Store and registered developer program for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad development is a winning combination for Apple and independent developers alike.
