Exploring the Plush Market of Android Phones

The mobile application development and the mobile phones market is a scene of frenzy with a number of models being launched every passing day. Also the mobile application development community is progressing by leaps and bounds in the areas of Android application development, iPhone application development and Blackberry application development.

The Android mobile phones and Android application development is one domain that’s fast becoming a sector of rapid development occurring at the speed of light. The number of mobile phones that major manufacturers have come up with for the Android platform is simply mind boggling. Here we try to focus on Android handsets that are real value for money. T-Mobile’s Nexus One is undoubtedly one of the best Android phones that you could probably buy today. With a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a wonderful AMOLED screen and an Android 2.1 operating system it is bang on value for money. The Motorola Cliq is also a good option but the Nexus One rules. The HTC Evo from Sprint is due to be one of the first 4G handsets in the US and would sure become the most impressive Android phone. Samsung Moment is also a good choice in the Android phone segment. The AT&T Backflip is a mid level phone would also be a decent choice. Verizon’s Droid is the second best Android phone after the Nexus one and with the launch of the HTC Droid Incredible they are giving stiff competition to the prima donna of the Android phones. Requirements of an Android phone with a keyboard would be sufficed by the original HTC Droid.

An iPhone that Sniffs Out Trouble

If rumours are anything to go by, the Department of Homeland Security’s Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) is planning on coming out with prototypes of the Apple iPhone armed with the power of sensing out carbon monoxide and fire. This would prove to be a revolutionary step in the mobile application development arena as this sort of an ability would spur massive development to augment that sense into something of much larger magnitude. iPhone application development, in itself stands testimony to the humongous creativity and dexterity that is a virtue of the offshore mobile application development community.
The S&T is said to have come out with a statement that says that active funding is being diverted towards the research of cellular phones with sensors capable of detecting dangerous chemicals. Other mobile phone manufacturers are also in the fray to attain this legendary breakthrough. The project is discreetly titled “Cell-All” and is focused on deploying low-cost sensor chips in cellular phones and on coordinating mass air sampling through mobile network carriers. The government terms this as “crowd-sourcing human safety” and aims at utilizing it to reduce the number of false alarms. For example, a single report of chlorine gas from a subway might be the result of an error or an anomaly. But multiple reports could mean that a really dangerous situation is developing which would also then send warnings to phone users in the vicinity and to alert authorities. Privacy is also being considered on a prime basis as the transmission of reports would give users a prerogative to let the transmission be anonymous or otherwise. The whole detection, identification and notification cycle in the “Cell-All” system has been predicted to be completed within 60 seconds with the users being able to choose the form of notification from among vibration, noise, text message or phone call. This would be an extremely effective counter-measure against chemical terrorism and random harmful incidences such as gas leaks etc…

Ad API May Be A Part Of iPhone OS 4.0

The widespread rage that surrounds the Apple iPhone and the related iPhone application development is no stranger to any person who’s even remotely aware of the current happenings on the technology scene. The Mobile application development community has found a bundle of sheer joy with iPhone application development as the scope to develop interactive and innovative applications that act as revenue magnets is huge.

The recent news to surface in the global as well as offshore Mobile application development community is the impending launch of the latest version of the iPhone OS. Apple has been quite tight-lipped about their prized conception but still speculations are rife that multi-tasking might be one of the major features in the latest OS version and would be made available to third party developers too. The major reason behind leaving out multi-tasking in a revolutionary phone like the iPhone was that multi-tasking meant increased power consumption levels something that Apple worked hard at curbing with a view to improving user cellular experience.

The other possible features may include wireless printing support that would improve the utility of Keynote, Numbers and Pages applications that Apple introduced in its widely popular iPad. Another source of glee for the iPhone application development community is the possibility of the inclusion of an advertising API for its mobile devices. Support for iTunes streaming in iPhone OS 4.0 is also a possibility considering Apple’s acquisition of LaLa online music service. Some other areas that are doing the rounds of discussion within the Mobile application development community are a front facing camera, higher screen resolution and enhanced parental controls. One thing is for sure, the iPhone OS 4.0 will surely split the iPhone application development market wide open with its new features opening up new avenues for developers and connoisseurs alike.

iPAD – Laying Out Every Bare Fact

Consider this: a personal computer operated completely by touch. No more cumbersome peripherals, no wires, none of that stuff. That’s Apple iPad for you. Marking a milestone in the offshore application development arena, it has not only turned dreams of every tech savvy person into reality but also has opened up the flood gates for innovative iPad applications to be conceived. There has been so much hype around the haloed device that rumours have been flying wild. This article attempts to dispel these rumours and lay the facts bare.

With a 9.7 inch multitouch LED (backlit) display, pixel resolution of 1024x768, an A4 processor, 16-64 GB of flash storage, WiFi support and Bluetooth, the Apple iPad does raise expectations. With the device being available in 2 versions; one with WiFi only and another one with WiFi+3G, the iPad caters to a segmented audience. The iPad has an operating system that is similar to its predecessors such as the iPhone and the iPod though there are bound to be advancements and improvements. But even a remote similarity would imply a major opening for the iPhone application development community to adapt and change roles to cater to this brand new segment of potential users. With an accelerometer to provide a familiar experience and a 10 hour battery life, the iPad does set standards. There are multiple things that pundits fear might garner negative criticism for the iPad. The A4 processor is in questions about its ability to handle high resolution images and other features without bugs or crashes. The 4:3 aspect ratio of the iPad would be fine for reading books and browsing the web, but would cause issues when watching movies as the letter boxing would be too big. The lack of flash support would means that rich internet sites would not be rendered properly. Also the lack of multitasking abilities would annoy users who prefer to breeze through their daily work. The lack of a front camera would seriously reduce the usability for live internet streaming video chat and other stuff of the similar sort. But it’s nothing that a peripheral USB cam can’t fix. On the brighter side, the Apple iPad is not a netbook substitute and should also not be considered one. It is an innovative concept that is set to raise the bar in terms of user-PC interactivity.

The Aero is also said to feature a plethora of social networking apps such as Facebook and is integrated into the phonebook allowing even the syncing of events to the calendar. The other bundle of joys that this handset carries is predicted to include built-in GPS and WiFi networking, in addition to a seamless browsing experience and Flash Lite that is deemed to support streaming audio and video content.
