App Store, Empowering The Developer And Why It Changes Everything

The App Store is brilliant!  It has had over 100 million downloads worldwide since it opened, incredible!  Sure it's fun for users to browse and download a new application to their iPhone, but the really exciting thing, is that it totally empowers the individual developer.

A lot of people don't fully grasp how much of a paradigm shift this is. Before App Store, it was difficult for a developer to create an application and reach a wide market. Now, the developer has the potential to create an app in their spare time, publish to App Store and instantly have access to millions of customers.  And the best part, is how incredibly easy it is to monetize.

The App Store for developers, is doing the same thing that iTunes Store did for independent artists, levels the playing field and empowers the individual.  Let's just say, its a very exciting time to be a developer.
