INTRODUCTION
THEY ARE THE Appillionaires: Smart, ambitious dreamers in bedrooms
and garages across the world, plotting the future of mobile apps.  eir
tools are inexpensive — a MacBook Pro and an iPhone — but overnight
the Appillionaires can amass a fortune from selling so ware on the iTunes
App Store.  ey lead a revival of the hobbyist programmer. Not since the
days of the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 has indie so ware been sold by
such tiny teams of programmers to such massive numbers of consumers.
e money  ows to the Appillionaires even as they sleep. While they
dream their Angry Bird-dreams, invisible electronic transfers push money
into the Appillionaires’ bank accounts from App Stores in over 80 di erent
countries. As much as $250 million gets spent at the App Store in a single
month. Over 10 billion apps have been sold on the store to date and its
estimated that Apple has signed up at least 79,000 so ware publishers to
the iOS (iPhone and iPad operating system) club.
What’s remarkable is that Apples credibility was bolstered so much by the
success of the iPod and iPhone that the rise of the iPhone app was widely
predicted. Even before the launch of the App Store back in 2008, Wired
magazine speculated, “iPhone so ware development may spark a so ware
gold rush not seen since the heyday of PC-platform development in
the 1990s.
