Only 13 percent of app users pay for the apps they download. In order to reach the most consumers, developers are finding that it’s best to offer their app for free. But, of course developers need to make a living too, so how do you make money from your app without charging for it? Bill Scott, SVP of Sales & Business Development at GetJar, will share the industry’s best practices for app monetization and some more creative ways to make a living off of your app.

Jari Tammisto, CEO of Mobile Monday, talked about his experience of running MoMo internationally and answered questions from participants on global mobile scenario. Rajesh Jain, MD of Netcore Solutions and Jari discussed the Indian and international mobile market in a one-to-one talkathon.
Many of us held this belief that Mobile Mondays happen on Mondays because Monday is the only day of week which begins with M and rhymes with Mobile. But the big secret is out now. Jari’s reasoning behind “Mobile Mondays” reminded me of another Finnish great Linus Torvald’s Linux/Open Source philosophy - Free as in “Free Beer” and not “Free Speech”
Jari’s presentation is uploaded here.
Jari was also kind enough to share the “United Nations - Information Economy Report 2009“.
