Freelancer.com first outsourcing website
to add iPad category
SYDNEY, January 28th
2010: Freelancer.com, the worlds top micro-outsourcing
website today launched the first category dedicated to the building and
development of Apple iPad applications.
Yesterday, Apple Computer launched the long awaited iPad tablet computer, which had the
technology industry and consumers waiting with huge interest. The new format device is
expected to spur a large and diverse industry of applications development with its cousin,
the iPhone, now boasting over 140,000 applications in the AppStore.
iPhone application development
quickly became one of the most popular categories on
Freelancer.com and is the quickest, easiest and most cost effective way to get an
application built.
“Since launching the category, thousands of iPhone applications have been developed
through our site”, said Matt Barrie Chief Executive of Freelancer.com, “The launch of the
iPad opens up the possibility for a
new generation of applications. Freelancer.com will be
at the forefront of this new era”.
Today the iPhone category has well over 100 active projects on any given day, with
application development starting at USD$200. Most iPhone projects are well under
US$2000.
“The availability of thousands developers from all over the world will allow application
enthusiasts to become application developers”, Matt Barrie said. “Until now, you had to be
a programmer or employ the services of an expensive agency to build an application. Now
anyone with an idea can develop their iPhone or iPad ideas at a fraction of the cost.”
Approximately 550,000 jobs have been posted to date, for a sum of US$50 million.
