Four Lessons From Evernote’s First Week On The Mac App Store(techcrunch.com) |
Over time (and as my experience with OS X grew) I slowly thought that it was less and less of a deal - and that few people were actually expecting a Mac App store, so I guess I just gave up on the idea.
Now it's here though, I can't believe how obvious it all is. They should have had one of these years ago. I don't think there are even rumours at this point, but Microsoft would be mad to not build one for Windows too.
This really makes me wonder how many sales the top ten Paid Apps received. Fingers crossed that Rovio releases the Angry Birs stats.
So, back of napkinning:
100,000 units sold / 7 days = 14,285 copies a day.
You can guess, then, that Angry birds is probably selling 20,000 copies a day at the very least, which at 5 a pop is US$100,000/day gross, 70k net.
Wow.
When I saw it free, I considered installing it as well.
