Bango today announced that the use of Bango Analytics does not infringe the latest Apple developer license agreement.
Recent changes to the Apple developer license agreement state that “Device Data may not be provided or disclosed to a third party without Apple’s prior written consent. Accordingly, the use of third party software in Your Application to collect and send Device Data to a third party for processing or analysis is expressly prohibited”. This makes it very hard for developers to deploy crucial analytics solutions and get the valuable insight they need to drive the success of their iPhone applications. Most analytics solutions need to extract and disclose detailed device data to the analytics vendor in addition to the developer. They require this data to function, but in doing so are in breach of the Apple rules. Their dependency on platform specific code also conceals what information is being disclosed making it impossible to know whether you are in breach, right up until Apple rejects your app. Read more »

…some big companies have 2010 written all over them, but will it turn out to be their year?
Let’s start with Microsoft who have until recently been shipping more 
smartphones worldwide than Apple and Google with only BlackBerry and Nokia beating them. ComScore have just reported that iPhone sales in the USA have now sneaked ahead of Windows mobile. Even their latest 6.5 version is showing its age – it does not take much digging to reach a UI not designed to work with fingers – how very last decade. But 2010 is the big year for Microsoft with Windows Phone 7.0 promising some great things. Originally scheduled for early in the year this new platform is now scheduled for later in 2010 but initial reports suggest it may be something special and worth the wait. 2010 will certainly be the make or break year for Microsoft’s mobile platform.
