Abstract

An electronic device may generate use related information and resource consumption related information corresponding to each of used applications used in the electronic device. The use related information and the resource consumption related information may then be transmitted to a remote applications manager, which may analyze the information to generate, based on the analysis, specially tailored application recommendations. The application recommendations may list one or more other applications, newly available or offered, which may be recommended for download to and/or use in the electronic device. The analysis of the use and the resource consumption information may comprise ranking the used applications, such as based on use patterns and/or resource consumption, and/or classification of the used applications, such as based on application type. Generating the application recommendations may comprise correlating used applications, based on classification and/or ranking, with similar applications that may be recommended.
