It is no secret that mobile applications are a relatively new segment of the software market. For many companies mobile software is another way of establishing long-term relations with the target audience. They can also serve as an area for advertising and promotion of various goods and services. iPhone applications are presented by Apple in AppStore section on its web-site. Moreover there is an unofficial iPhone applications market (the so-called jailbreak iPhones) that is of interest both to users and developers since there all restrictions have been removed there, unlike at official SDK.
Applications Development Department for iPhone was created in our company at the beginning of the second half-year in 2008. It comprises analysts, programmers, UI developers, and a graphic designer. The company has all the required certificates and is an official iPhone applications developer that possesses all the requisite conditions for a successful development and testing of iPhone applications.
For this period of time that the department exists, Belprog has developed over 60 applications, including photo and graphics editor, games, interfaces for data bases, OpenGL applications, sound editor applications, and other applied and game applications for iPhone. So far all the applications have been developed in conformity with Apple official documentation. Some of the developed applications can be found in the section "Portfolio" on the company's web-site or other online resources that officially represent our company. Since the company has signed Non-Disclosure Agreements, Belprog cannot provide a full range of executed projects with a detailed description of each of them. Nevertheless our company updates within the limits of the possible lists of the executed projects and places at free access brochures and video files that represent the essence of the portfolio.
It is generally known that applications development for mobile devices lays much more claims to applications efficiency, algorithms optimization, used memory resources, and processor time than to similar applications for non portable PCs. These tasks are of special importance for interactive games development. Many customers turn to Belprog in order to optimize legacy algorithms and organize the program code effectively. The company is always in search of the most optimal solutions to the assigned tasks. One of DSP applications, developed by Belprog, received many favourable comments at Tokyo music conference in May 2009. (This application is a radiomixer with real time sound processing). A photo processing application that we created for a media company was called "Featured" by AppStore moderators themselves.
iPhone applications market dictates its own demands (most applications are sold at 0,99 $ USD). In this connection companies investors prefer to invest in development of microprojects. Ensuing from the previous development experience a term for iPhone project development averages 4 weeks, that's why most projects are developed on the basis of the waterfall model. Well coordinated work of the team and stored knowledge base enable the company to provide customers with a high level service at a reasonable price. Our customers prefer to launch their new iPhone projects with Belprog.
