Mobile analytics firm Mobilewalla has ranked the top apps across all four mobile platforms for 2011, using its own ranking system known at the “Mobilewalla Score.” Instead of looking at raw user ratings, this scoring system is an algorithm that analyzes a variety of factors in addition to ratings, including an app’s position within its own category, volume, social media sentiment and more. The scores are a numerical value between 0 and 100, with a higher score indicating a more successful app. It’s an interesting way to slice the data, and gives a different picture of the app store ecosystem than typical year-end lists do. Those often look solely at download numbers and tend to include apps which have been popular for years – like Facebook, Twitter, Angry Birds, etc. Other lists, meanwhile, are editorially selected or curated, like some of those we’ve featured here. The list below is grouped by platform (Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone):  Pixlr-o-matic (Android Free): 97.5 out of 100 Super Stickman Golf: (Android Free): 97.5 out of 100 Crime Story (Android Free): 96.4 out of 100 Marvel Comics (Android Free): 96.3 out of 100 Dragon, Fly!

Major League Baseball has embraced social media and mobile devices in a big way and it looks like this early adoption is paying off. The MLB At Bat app was downloaded 1.6 million times across all mobile platforms and is reportedly the highest grossing app in the iTunes App Store, according to a report from Fortune. To improve this popular offering, MLB may offer a new monthly subscription option that's available during the baseball season. Speaking with Fortune, MLB.com CEO Bob Bowman said they could add new features as a monthly subscription which would be available in-season and could be canceled when your favorite team is doing poorly. Unfortunately, Bowman failed to provide any details on what these new features will be and how much they will cost. This subscription is likely an idea that's in the early stages of planning. The current version of the At Bat app lets baseball fans experience the game from the comfort of their iPad and iPhone. Users can keep track of game stats in real-time, watch video replays of controversial calls and review game highlights. If you are at the game, you can check into a stadium, view tweets from other fans at the game and even order concession food that you can pick up without waiting in line. At US$14.99 in season, it's pricer than most App Store apps, but the sheer amount of real-time content available at your finger tips during the baseball season is well worth the expense. Read More

The latest Apple iPad ad has appeared, and although slightly sappy in places, is a far better effort than their previous hit and miss efforts.  The advert implies the iPad will integrate itself in our lives to the extent where it’ll replace everything from a pen-and-paper to the TV. While starting any sentence with ‘we’ll always’ just makes me want to finish it with ‘have Paris’, the ad’s title tells watchers that they’ll carry on doing the same things, but with the iPad.  For example, it uses the phrase ‘We’ll always cook dinner and cheer for our favorite team’, and finishes with ‘But how we do all this will never be the same’. It’s a very strong message, and makes the iPad desirable, futuristic and for the first time in ages in an Apple ad, useful too.  It’s also great to see ‘real world’ use rather than boring specification talk!  There are various iPad apps featured in the ad, so to make them easier to identify, here’s what you’ll see in action: Read More

jul 24 Nós nunca deixaremos de compartilhar nossas lembranças ou de nos perdermos na leitura de um bom livro. Sempre faremos o jantar e torceremos para o nosso time favorito.
