Start building apps for iOS

August 8th, 2011 Featured, Software No Comments
Interested in Mobile application development? You should be- whether it is for your business, startup or professional needs. Apple’s iPad is predicted to rule throughout 2011 and better half of 2012, which happens to be most promising mobile/tablet platform as of now. So as you can see it’s a great time to crack on to some iOS application right about now. If you are entrepreneur might be a fine time for a child project flavored around iOS, if you are a developer very good time to start on iOS (if already haven’t done so). Why? Apple released a fifth beta version of iOS 5 to developers last Friday, which is kind of odd as Apple usually does this over the weekdays not last day of the week. The release notes suggest this include some fixes but no major features, apart from a Hearing Aid Mode designed to improve compatibility between iOS devices and hearing aids. Android is an awesome platform but for freelance developer just to bank on only one platform and leave the other promising one isn’t such a great move. Today’s financial crunch requires you to be expert in multiple platforms, in order to sell your service more…

August 9th, 2010 Gadgets No Comments
You are not seeing ghost! That’s right Adobe flash can be run on iPhone 4.0, not just any flash the latest version. Hold your horses before you run over people or something, there is a catch! This can be done only by certain hack Comex, the same infamous (to Apple)/ renowned (to millions of consumers) hacker who developed the browser-based JailbreakMe tool, has done what should have been impossible and brought Flash video capabilities to the iPhone 4, and he claim that it will work on iPhone 3GS and the iPad as well. This Frash lets iPhone users view Adobe Flash content on their phones. This is certainly not any windows click and get hack, user’s iPhone have to be jail broken first prior to perform the actual hack which is a bit complex indeed.   This is no news to us that Apple’s firm stand against letting Flash, the de facto web video standard into iPhone made Flash lost its glory (even if it’s not that significant yet). This also allow the rise of HTML5, even video sharing mammoth like YouTube embraced HTML5, where once Flash was one and only. So if you are Flash fan, seriously pissed with…

May 28th, 2010 Featured, Information Technology No Comments
We all aware of the spat going on between Adobe and Apple regarding Adobe’s Flash. It wasn’t always like that, not too long ago they had a mutually beneficial relationship creating a niche market based on Apple’s Mac operating system and Adobe’s content creation software. Long story short now these two once friends are now bitter rivals and hostilely fighting (media war) each other over the merits of Flash and the future of interactive content and video on the Mobile & Web. Adobe’s flash which no doubt overwhelmingly dominate web, obviously defend its product and wishes to conquer Mobile device dominance as well.

Windows mobile phones will support Flash Lite

March 17th, 2008 Gadgets No Comments
Though recently Apple chief executive Steve Jobs slams Flash by saying at Apple’s shareholder meeting that the version of Flash for desktops and notebooks "performs too slow to be useful" on the iPhone, and the mobile version of Flash "is not capable of being used with the Web." But good news for Adobe, Microsoft just announced that in addition to its own Silverlight multimedia technology, Microsoft will support Adobe’s competing Flash technology on Windows Mobile phones. Since already 450 million Flash-enabled devices out there and Flash is used to display the majority of online video, including that on YouTube, Adobe actually have to worry a very little bit about iPhone. Now it’s even merrier since Microsoft will include flash support to windows mobile. Microsoft has licenced Adobe Flash Lite, the Flash Player runtime for mobile devices, so that Windows Mobile phone users can view Flash content in the Internet Explorer Mobile browser. Microsoft has also licenced the Adobe Reader LE software, so that Windows Mobile users will be able to view PDF documents. As smartphones become more and more common, people are starting to get fed up with the basic Web surfing experience offered by many phones. They want something…

Apple officially announced the long awaited iPhone 2.0 software, which is due to be released this June, but a beta release is already available for download from iPhone DevCenter.
