The new Mac app store during the launch yesterday, more than one million times. That makes Apple announced..The most downloaded paid app on the App Store was new Angry Birds. The social networking application Twitter was the most downloaded free app. The new Mac App Store launched Thursday with over 1000 apps in 21 different categories. “We are amazed by the incredible response that gets the Mac App Store,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
“Developers have a great job for the apps in the store and get users to enjoy the convenience and pleasure in using the Mac App Store shows up.”
A Better Class of Apps:
One of the great things about iOS is that it brought many feature-focused, simple-to-use applications to market. Software maturity often brings software bloat, so you end up with sluggish software and tons of features you neither need nor want. While many of the initial offerings in the Mac App Store also exist on the Mac outside the App Store, you can see a hint of iOS apps making their way to the Mac platform. While some apps unquestionably require many features, and there is no paradigm in simplicity, the iOS-style of app will be a very useful addition to the Mac software ecosystem. I've been using Weet (Twitter client) and Reeder (RSS reader) on the Mac for a while now, and they both demonstrate how well simple and lightweight apps can work on the Mac. Too many features and slow performance is frustrating, so a little more iOS in our Mac apps is very welcome.
