So that’s it our first app is available on the AppStore. We are very happy because for us iPokerChips is not only a great app (very handy to play poker everywhere, nice features like players profile and stats, ease of use, …) but it was also our first project on iOS. It was a test project to build a small team with collaborators from around the world, design, develop and debug the best quality app on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as efficiently as possible, localize it in 7 languages, submit it to Apple and – very important – try a few techniques to gain visibility on the App Store (I will write a longer post about that because it’s really interesting). We are pretty happy with the results so far and everything we learned. Check the website and get on the list to win an iPad: http://ipoker-chips.com/ or even better try it yourself on the AppStore http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ipokerchips-ipad/id393761263
And EA bought ChillingoInterestingly EA bought the publisher Chillingo (Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, …) to « increase market leadership on the Apple(R) platform and strengthen its position as the world’s leading wireless entertainment publisher. The acquisition combines Chillingo’s expertise in cultivating the ideas of independent developers with EA’s global reach in mobile publishing. Chillingo is widely recognized for publishing highly original and successful games from the developer community. EA is committed to preserving Chillingo’s independence enabling them to manage and cultivate their great network of relationships to deliver the optimal gaming experience for consumers. »
