says Apple iTunes accounts for 64.5% of all sales

Apple's market share is slipping: it accounted for nearly three-quarters ( 74.4%) of all online movie sales in 2009. Its competitors are taking a few bites here and there: Microsoft has increased its market share from 11.6% to 17.9%. It offers titles via the X-Box 360 and Microsoft Zune. Sony, which sells movies online through the PlayStation 3 player and select Sony Bravia HDTVs, has gone from 5.7 % to 7.2% in 2010. The rest of the bunch accounts collectively for 10.4% of the market, up from 8.3% in 2009--and that includes Wal-Mart's Vudu se

According to Roadside Attractions and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., the sister companies handling the film's concurrent theatrical and VOD releases, the film "Arbitrage" has VOD sales, via the Internet and cable and satellite television, of about $11 million, and is projected to gross as much as $12 million. At the art house, "Arbitrage" has sold more than $7.3 million in tickets and may reach more than $7.5 million.

With those numbers, "Arbitrage" has surpassed what is believed to be the record holder for combined sales for a movie released concurrently in theaters and on VOD, held by 2011's "Margin Call." That film had VOD sales of about $6 million and grossed $5.4 million in theaters.

Unlike box-office sales, which typically are divided 50-50 between the theater owners and the distributors, the VOD split usually gives distributors close to 70%. The amount of VOD proceeds that flows back to a film's creative team and investors is still imprecise.

n 2008, there were almost 162 million Smartphones sold, surpassing notebook sales for the first time. Just over 49% of Smartphones sold in 2008 were based on Symbian OS, a significant drop from a near 65% share it enjoyed one year earlier. While this is in large part due to the relatively poor performance of Nokias Smartphone range, it is also an indication of the popularity enjoyed by competing platforms including Linux, BlackBerry OS, Microsoft Windows Mobile, OS X iPhone and new entrant Android.

Openness is a key criterion, says Informa, while all in the mobile telecoms space now see the revenue potential of applications and services.

, let’s take a look at specific applications. I encourage examining the apps themselves to understand what exactly went into them. The production values, complexity, niche, and pricing determine why they produced either excellent or p

he average total number of units sold was 101,024 copies within an average period of 261 days. The average number of units sold per day was 387. The average price was $5.49, although the data skews due to the $49.99 outlier. In most cases, the price point was $0.99. The average number of updates released was 3.89, with the average total development cost amounting to $6,453. Several developers omitted development costs and most did not include their personal time in these figures. It is safe to assume the cost would be at least five or ten times more when using a contracted team. But on average here, iPhone developers are seeing a return of more than 15 times their initial, albeit small, development costs.

However, when the top 10% of the most successful apps are removed from the data set, the numbers skew much lower, giving a far better impression of what the iPhone industry looks like for most developers. In this scenario, the average sales were 11,625 total units, averaging 44 copies/day. Approximately 23% of apps sold less than 1000 units from launch (ranging from 12 to 370 days in the App Store). Further, 56% of apps sold less than or equal to 10,000 units, while 90% sold less than 100,000 units, with the remaining 10% achieving sales of 127,000 – 3,000,000 units.
