I was just watching CNBC and saw a commercial for a special called “Planet of the Apps: A Handheld Revolution!<\/a>” The one-hour program looks at how the launch of the Apple iPhone in June of 2007 gave birth to a revolution in mobile technology. The main site lists some highlight from the show, including a piece on Heroes<\/a> actor Greg Grunberg<\/a> and his “second job” as an app developer (he’s one of the people behind the Yowza<\/a>! app). From the press release:<\/p>\n

Apps are everywhere. In less than two years, the app craze has taken over. These small applications – or apps – that fit on our mobile phone do everything from helping us accomplish mundane tasks to keeping us entertained while we wait for the bus.<\/p>\n

Apps are popular and profitable. Studies estimate, the Apple iPhone apps store alone generates about $200 million a month in sales. Innovative and often addictive apps are changing the way we work and live.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Planet of the Apps: A Handheld Revolution. In this hour we’ll look at how apps have changed our lives, meet some of the creators behind them, and figure out just how big a business they really are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CNBC’s “Planet of the Apps: A Handheld Revolution!” will premiere on Thursday, January 7th at 10PM, and repeats at 1AM. No comment on the cleverness of the show’s title, or lack thereof.<\/p>\n
