應用大戰: 谷歌看下載,蘋果會賺錢
Canalys on Monday issued a report on app downloads at four major mobile stores: Google (GOOG) Play, Apple's (AAPL) App Store, MicrosoFT (MSFT) Windows Phone Store and Research in Motion's (BBRY) BlackBerry World.
本週一，調研機構Canalys 發佈報告，分析了Google Play、蘋果（Apple）應用程序商店、微軟（Microsoft）Windows Phone商城和RIM（Research in Motion）黑莓世界四大移動商城的應用程序下載情況。The news was good for Google and Apple. For Microsoft and BlackBerry, not so much. Among the findings:
形勢對谷歌和蘋果利好，微軟和黑莓則發展不暢。下面是詳細分析：App downloads at the four stores totaled 13.4 billion in Q1, up 11% between the December and March quarters.
今年一季度，四大商城的應用程序下載總量達到了134億次，較上季度增長了11%。
Revenues reached $2.2 billion from app sales and in-app purchases (before revenue sharing), up 9% from Q4 2012.
來自付費應用程序和程序內購買的總營收（分成前）高達22億美元，較2012年第四季度增長了9%。Emerging markets such as South Africa, Brazil and Indonesia showed the strongest growth in terms of app downloads, but not necesarrily revenue.
南非、巴西和印度尼西亞等新興市場的應用程序下載量增長最爲強勁，但營收增速一般。Even in the relatively mature North American market, downloads and revenues were up 8% and 6%, respectively.
即便是北美這種成熟市場，下載量和營收也分別增長了8%和6%。In Western Europe they were up 8% and 10%.
西歐市場的下載和營收增速分別爲8%和10%。Apple's App store accounted for the largest share of revenue among the four stores, around 74%.
蘋果應用程序商店是毋庸置疑的領導者，它的營收約佔四大商城總營收的74%。Google saw the greatest number of downloads -- about 51% -- with Apple close behind.
谷歌在下載數量上則略勝一籌，貢獻了51%的下載量，蘋果緊隨其後。"Apple's App Store and Google Play remain the heavyweights in the app store world," said Canalys' Tim Shepherd. "In comparison, BlackBerry World and the Windows Phone Store remain distant challengers today, though they still should not be ignored."
Canalys分析師蒂姆薛帕德稱：“蘋果應用程序商店和Google Play仍然是應用程序市場的霸主。黑莓世界和Windows Phone商城則處境不妙，它們只是在提醒大家，我還活着。”
