In a short couple of weeks the App Store turns two. There will undoubtedly be big celebrations in Cupertino and elsewhere as Apple trumpets the latest milestone of its success. Here at Mundue headquarters it’s time to look back and reflect on the first two years of the App Store. Let’s start with the big news first.
WWDC is the big event of the year for Apple developers. This year’s gathering was no exception. I’ve been going on and off for twenty years; my first was in 1990 at the San Jose Convention Center. Much has changed in two decades. I was there for the System 7 rollout, and yes I met Sculley. That was during the interregnum while Steve planned his comeback. Old stuff.
We’re proud to be part of the Indie+Relief program that raised over $143,000 last week. On January 20, 2010 we donated $956 to the American Red Cross and Yéle relief efforts for the people affected by the Haiti earthquake. Thank you to everyone who purchased one of our games (all 478 of you!) and allowed us to contribute in this small way.
As a part of the Indie+Relief program we are donating the proceeds from all our app sales on January 20, 2010 to assist the Haiti earthquake victims. The proceeds will be donated to both the American Red Cross and Yéle. For every dollar that is spent on our apps we will donate a dollar. This means that in addition to the 70% we normally get from Apple, we’ll contribute the additional 30% (their cut) from our own pocket. If we sell 1,000 copies of our apps (each $1.99) we’ll contribute $1,990.
