All change in the games industry where the iPhone gold rush is generating serious deals and forcing major strategic change.
There’s big prizes at stake. Most smartphone users (62 percent) download one to five applications per month, while iPhone users are far more active, with 82 percent downloading apps, according to Goldman Sachs. iPhone users, more than those on any other platform, are keen on games, the analysts confirmed.
There’s cash in the iPhone attic: Overall downloads from all app stores will reach 6.67 billion applications by 2014, up from two billion this year, Vikrant Gandhi, analyst at market research firm Frost & Sullivan, told internetnews.com.

Randall L. Stephenson spoke at today’s Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference. He noted among other things that AT&T would open up 7.2Mbs in six major markets by the end of 2009. The iPhone 3GS will be able to take advantage of this speed while older iPhones will be stuck with 3.6Mbs. As for cities that are going to get updated? We know Chicago is wired up and ready to go but who else gets to go 7.2? Update – as per this week’s press release: Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Miami are getting the "7dot2" lovin’
He then goes on to explain why carrier exclusivity drives innovation and is good for the consumer (ROFLOL!). Have a listen to the MP3 file here.

The upcoming Apple vs. Flash battle
The Wall St. Journal this morning had a short synopsis of Adobe Chief Executive Shantanu Narayen’s talk at the Goldman Sachs technology conference this week. That’s the same conference where Tim Cook spoke yesterday.
He spoke on his view of why the iPad wasn’t equipped to play Flash:
Narayen said Apple’s decision likely had everything to do with its business model as it tries to keep a proprietary, closed system so everything goes through its iTunes store, and has nothing to do with the Flash technology. He said about 85 of the top 100 Web sites in the world use Flash, and 75% of the video on the Web today is in Flash, including Google Inc.’s (GOOG) YouTube, News Corp.’s (NWS) Hulu and broadcasters such as ABC and Fox.
Earlier this month, Jobs reportedly told Wall Street Journal execs that if the iPad used Flash the battery life would go from 10 hours to 1.5 (has Apple been testing this?).
But is it all about technology?
Businessweek covers the Google-Apple rivalry
Businessweek’s cover story this week is the Google-Apple rivalry, which takes place mostly in the mobile space (but also elsewhere). You’ll recall that Apple bought Ad firm Quattro after Google snapped up rival Admob before Apple could make an offer. That, according to Businessweek, was just the beginning. Apple has hired a mergers and acquisitions guy Adrian Perica from Goldman Sachs and is preparing to do some buying. Interestingly if Apple previously wanted to acquire a firm, they would do it “ad hoc”.
In the past, there was no organized M&A effort, say three former executives at the company. Instead, business chiefs were supposed to keep an eye out for deals and go to Jobs if they thought there was a beneficial one to be made. After getting Jobs’ O.K., the champion of the idea would pull together a team to make an overture, negotiate terms, and work through the administrative details.
Apple’s bidding process for companies is now a much smoother process as evidenced by the Lala and Quattro purchases.
BW’s Peter Burrows says that Apple’s got a plan that he’s gathered from sources “inside and outside the company”. It stands to reason that Apple, with its focus on apps and developers, can integrate advertising into the iPhone SDK, rather than have Google scoop up all of the ads on popular free apps.
