How Apple will be using Burstly?
Although everything Burstly stands for is in line with Apple's current offerings : Apps, App Ecosystem and mobiles, still in more sure terms, Apple can perfect its current app review process by utilizing Burstly’s various platforms. That apart, Burstly also has a software development kit (SDK) which it discontinued recently. That too is something Apple will be interested in.
