iPad Spurs App Store Developer Interest

Interest in developing for the App Store has almost tripled during the month of January, according to mobile analysis firm Flurry Analytics. This is the largest increase in application development in the history of Flurry’s tracking. The surge is most likely due to Apple’s much-hyped upcoming device, the iPad. There is incentive for developers to customize their applications in time for the iPad’s release.

There are more than 140,000 applications in the App Store, according to Apple. The App Store will offer apps for the iPad when it is released, including specifically customized ones that will take advantage of the iPad’s large touchscreen.

Android applications grew about 25 percent in January. Though Android applications are growing steadily, the App Store still remains far ahead of Android due to the recent spike in January.
