@AppsBidder set to pitch at Investor Feedback Forum and Pitch Showdown (New York)

Appsbidder.com is registered to pitch at the first Ultralight investors feedback Forum (for startups) on Thursday January 12, 2012 by 7pm. If you are based in New York, please attend and support our friends @appsbidder. They have an innovative business idea to improve how developers and apps users relate.

At first consideration, Appsbidder will get any developer excited because it costs nothing to publish on the platform, and the site gets to take only 17% of sales. The social network feel to the platform also allows developers get review and feedback on published apps.

Although the developers are the main target for Appsbidder, the ‘Like’ and ‘Disapproving with Application’ may be tools for everybody else to either laud or sabotage an app. A bragging right for Appsbidder is that
finding a similar marketplace with such freedom and options is next to impossible. Will this play out well or not? Time will tell, but I will go out on a limb to say Appsbidder will be a one stop market for developers and users in the nearest future (if properly managed – especially the user end of the platform).




If you are outside NY, you can also watch the live-stream here: http://ultralightstartups.com/video/video-stream/

Don't forget to Tweet and vote for @appsbidder using the hashtag #ultralight  between 7:30pm and 8pm New York time on January 12, during the pitch showdown!

iPad 3 is Just Three Months away So Chill!!!!

New information from iPad supply chain makers indicates that Apple is poised to launch the next generation of its tablet device in the next three to four months.

The news comes from Taiwanese blog Digitimes, which has previously picked up accurate news from sources in Apple’s supply chain. The report states that iPad 2 production will remain high (14 to 15 million units) in the fourth quarter of 2011, but will decline to under 5 million units in January 2012 to focus on building iPad 3 units.

The report also indicates that iPad manufacturer Foxconn Electronics is expected to produce just under 10 million iPad 3 units in the first quarter of 2012. That number would be comparable to the total number of iPad 2 units currently being assembled.

 iPad 3 production would begin prior to 2012, with a launch coming soon after. The new information is more aligned to Apple’s past iPad launches, which have been announced roughly about the same time during the last two years. But the first-quarter-2012 timing assumes Apple has resolved possible issues with a new retina display.
