Finally after 2 months of inputting, cleaning up, asking for data about the various appstores in the market we're finally at the stage where we can publish a summary pdf gathering all the data the wip appstore wiki holds about the 27 appstores inputted there at the beginning of December (and we have now reached 29…)

Our objective in publishing this information as a document is to make it easier for you to compare the various appstores by sitting them next to one another on a few sheet of paper. Whatever your purpose is : platform choice, country choice, pricing decision in a bird's eye view you'll have all the channels in the market. Going forward we will publish a monthly "dump" of the wiki for you to keep track of evolutions and changes in this space.

Is Open Innovation Working?

I first wrote about the rise of 'open' and open innovation over 2 years ago (and one blog ago). The premise of Open Innovation is about dropping the mentality of 'not invented here'; and to collaborate with outside partners. I said back in May 2007, "We are now entering the next phase of Open Innovation in the form of user input and the proliferation of communities. The challenge is how to identify the great opportunities and exploit them in a collaborative way."

We decided to benchmark Open Innovation to gauge if it is actually working for developers in our mobile and wireless community:

1. Open is Socially Acceptable = PASS
