Marketing and PR specialist Ryan Cash wrote an article on Tuesday making his case for “Add to Queue” option for the App Store. Cash says when trying to download large apps you are just given a message to connect to Wi-Fi before trying again.
Cash is also annoyed that you are taken out of the App Store when you download an app. Instead of doing that, Apple should leave you in the store so you can continue shopping, argues Cash.

You could install apps on a portable device for years, but it never really took off until Apple opened the App Store for the iPhone. Now, according to a new study, 35 percent of US adults have apps on their phones.
This is a pretty remarkable tech-adoption story, if you consider that there was no apps culture until two years ago,” said Roger Entner, co-author of the report and Senior Vice President and Head of Research and Insights for Telecom Practice at Nielsen. “Every metric we capture shows a widening embrace of all kinds of apps by a widening population. It’s too early to say what this will eventually amount to, but not too early to say that this is an important new part of the technology world of many Americans.”

The release (and instant success) of the iPad has caused more than one pundit to prognosticate the end of the Mac (and PC) as we know it. And while we’re quite sure the Mac is here to stay, Daniel “Deagol” Tello’s projections show that Apple may indeed be garnering more revenue from the iPad than the Mac by as soon as 2012. Obviously, it’s just one man’s opinion, but it makes for interesting reading regardless. (more…)
