2011's app-fest begins
It’s telling that the number of established music technology developers releasing apps into the App Store is growing rapidly now: by the end of 2011, we’d expect most of the big players to have a presence there. TC-Helicon and n-Track Software both make their iOS debuts in this week’s round-up, and there are six other new apps, too.
