iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad apps are now more popular than the most popular TV shows

     

According to a survey by Flurry, the aggregated audience of users of Apple iOS operating system on a daily basis has reached over 19 million. They spend around 22 minutes a day on average on these applications. It is a survey of around 20% of the apps, so we can affirm than Apple's users have surpassed the audience of popular TV shows such as American Idol, which is a very interesting fact for advertisers.  Apple Applications Store has been opened only 2 years ago in July, 2008. While TV shows air around 22 episodes per year, Apple's apps are available 365 days per year.

Intelligent use of mobile technology can help you find balance

There was an interesting article in the Financial Post yesterday, about the balance between work and personal life with mobile technologies. I can tell you the story of a ex-boss who was sleeping with his Blackberry; or a Chief Strategist at BCE who answered my email 30 minutes later, at 8 PM. Several people face the pressure of always been available and always keep their cellphone "on".

Almost 60% of Canadians employed outside the home cannot balance their work and family demands, said the report in the article. When a corporation ask management and/or simple employees to be available 24h/24h this balance is definitly worse.

From an organizational perspective, managers can expect to see a higher level of presentness, in which employees are at work in body, but not in spirit. "They show up, but they're not working hard, and they're not engaged. They're not being as robust as they can at the job." People may find themselves barking at others unnecessarily, and unable to cope with change.
