Steve Jobs has created a market where software inventors can flourish. If there is one person who understands the frustration of being an inventor - it's the founder of Apple Inc.
As a college student his concept for the Apple computer was spurned by just about everyone in the computer industry so he started his company out of his garage. Thanks to Jobs, innovative developers can get rich with nominal resources - even working out of their garages - but they need a great original idea.
Apple currently has about 65 percent of the applications market for mobile internet devices and has sold about 3 billion of it's 140,000 applications in the past 18 months, which has the manufacturers of mobile internet devices playing catch-up.
Following in Apple's footsteps, Google has opened it's own on-line apps store called Android Market, and Research In Motion has started their App World for BlackberryApps.
Anthony Rizk and Dan Gagliardi created a Blackberry app called BabyGo to help young children learn the alphabet.
The Blackberry application displays colorful letters on the screen and phonetically sounds each letter when the child presses buttons on the keyboard.
Over 100,000 copies have been downloaded and it is now available as an iPhone and Android app.
Palm, Microsoft and Nokia have all announced they will be launching their own App Stores for their mobile internet devices.
