As we’ve written before, most consumers base their purchase first on the hardware. But the various OS makers know that apps are what keep many consumers tied to a platform and they’re very intent on competing for developer support. The fact that Microsoft had a deep lineup of WP7 apps at launch is not only attractive to consumers, but it’s also a strong sign to developers that the company is in it for the long haul, something many of the developers I talked to remarked on. That Microsoft or Nokia are opening up their wallets for apps and developers is just a sign they understand that developers are the new kingmakers. [...]

Because apps don’t contain HTML pages, developers must determine when the applications should trigger page view requests. The new feature aggregates data, such as the number of visits, session length and bounce rates, and displays the information in content reports, allowing developers to see how users interact with the apps. Developers can also track events such as views of embedded videos, button clicks and downloads. San Francisco startup Flurry, among others, offers similar analytics. [...]
