The digest of news from the world of mobile development for the last week №29 (October 14–20, 2013)
Perhaps the main event in the mobile development market this week was the acquisition of the Finnish studio Supercell by the Japanese media corporation SoftBank. Two games, two years on the market - and a market valuation of $ 3 billion. Evidence of phenomenal growth and prospects for the entire industry!
RevealApp is a MacOS application. It shows the hierarchy of the UI components of the application in a clear and powerful 3D representation and allows you to change the UI on the fly. The idea is similar to Firebug or Web Inspector for sites.
So what should this once-dominant player in the smartphone market do in the light of these vague and oppressive forecasts? What can the company do to support loyal BlackBerry fans watching their friends and colleagues moving to other platforms?
Partners will pay $ 1.5 billion to the Finnish developers of Clash of Clans and Hay Day, which means the company's value has quadrupled in the last seven months (in April, the company received an investment of $ 130 million with a total valuation of 770 million).
The new service called App Mention Alerts launches its own alternative to Google Alerts, offering an alert and tracking panel designed specifically for mobile application developers.
