Superb Smartphones Need Superb Apps

They are all into it–Rolex, Prada, Cartier, Chanel, Armani, Louis Vuitton — not with their latest summer wear, but showstopper designer mobile phones. To look at them, you would think these designers have become tech savvy. But while their exteriors are par excellence, yet most don’t have classy tech specs to match. Spending an exorbitant amount only to have a regular user experience and outdated OS is certainly not value for money. They would do far better if they invest as much in ‘rich’ mobile applications, because isn’t that what brands are about–quality– inside and out? Anyway, looks matter and so they are selling like hot cakes.



Chairman by Ulysse Nardin

For those who think Google’s Android is charitably priced for the masses, then they are unaware that they have also donned the title of Guinness World Records as the ‘most expensive mobile phone.’ The diamond-encrusted hybrid device bears the label of the renowned Swiss watch manufacturers, Ulysse Nardin. The brilliant handcraft blends superbly with high tech. It comprises the OS Gingerbread and sophisticated Android applications that fit right in the midst of such luxury. Price starts from USD 14,000 up to 130,000. All you have to do is sell everything you own and more. But you may be too late because its limited edition will sell out even before it hits the shelves of some 20 select countries.

TAG HEUER  Racer

This Android smartphone has been inspired by and is built of the same materials as its sponsor, the race car Formula 1. It has 3D UI and 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for its OS. The product will be available in the market this month on for the curious, including app developers who will race to see how fast applications will run on this super smartphone.

Lamborghini TL700

Another recently launched device modeled after the luxury car, it sports Android OS Gingerbread. They have received more than too many disappointing reviews with regards to their specs.

We can either be impressed with the offer, or consider them unremarkable for attempts at creating fanfare for the king of all sports events: the Olympics.

Olympics Games City

To begin with, the latest game launched is dedicated to the ongoing Olympics and the various sports that can be played online as Facebook applications. The game mechanics bear strong resemblance to Sims City and other city building games on Facebook. The game play has not received any favorable reviews and since it’s theme-based, it is predicted to be short-lived once the fervor dies out. Most reviewers recommend the game to be played with friends, which allows for faster and more challenging advanced levels. But that also means paying for the game. All in all, the idea is worth it in trying to capture the spirit that makes the game somewhat worth a short while.

NBC/Facebook

But is the next idea any better?  For several reasons, yes. Facebook collaborated with NBC channel earlier this month to provide full, live coverage of the Olympics. NBCs hopes are pinned to the 900 plus users, encouraged after watching CNN’s application running successfully over the up and coming election. And pinned they were, but largely containing angry protests by viewers against tape delay. That has apparently not affected their ratings, which were revealed as ‘record high’ in the US, amounting to over 14 per cent more than the previous Olympics.

Other ‘Olympic tools’ that prove useful are ‘2012 Olympics Hub’ and a Fan page created especially for interaction and finding information on everything Olympic.

Apps to Manage Apps

Is there really a need for so many apps? The iTunes store has over 650,000 applications and several hundred are in the development process as of now. Despite that requests for more apps outnumber those that ask for apps to be reduced. Some clearly spell out the exact specs for apps not present in the app store. Here is a quote as evidence: “I need an APP with the following ability: Input names, dates of births, physical characteristics, list tattoos or scars and face photos… I would pay for this app and several law enforcement officers would as well…”

Then there is the Beam Brush application recently launched for the hygiene conscious. The iOS app monitors toothbrushing habits via Bluetooth through a specially designed toothbrush! Those who find this piece of news amusing would be surprised to learn that such apps are downloaded and used. Heavy duty research is conducted prior to application development to find out what users want and the reason for the existence of such apps and because there is a demand for them.

All reasoning focuses on a single point: to make life easy from every aspect. This may be for educational, professional or personal use or simple entertainment. But with this variety, it can become hard to manage and not know for sure whether so many apps will serve as convenience. This brings to mind an initiative by Huffington Post, who has launched a website, ‘The Reddit Edit’. It extracts and organizes news from a news management website, Reddit. That’s simplifying, meaning that you don’t require sifting through an assortment to get to more specific and important information.

In a similar way, there are software products such as Xilisoft’s ‘iPhone Magic’ and applications on the iTunes store that reduce or eliminate the number of steps for an app process. Such as ‘Easy Media Transfer: Web, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Dropbox.’  The app is capable of quickly transferring and exchanging videos, photos and even entire albums from one iOS device to another as well as from iOS to a Mac using any of the wireless technologies, including cloud storage.

With the success of ‘Bump’ that allows sharing photos between two iPhones by simply touching each other’s device or between mobile and PC, they have introduced another photo and video-sharing app, ‘Flock –  Photos Together.’ It automatically selects you and your friends and groups them from entire photo albums which can then be shared with friends. This omits the tiresome work of going through each photo individually. The app also has the ability to remove faces of insignificant persons from the pictures.

How To Become A Twitter Celebrity?

There is no pre-tested and confirmed formula for making it big on Twitter. It is a very unconventional form of media and what people are doing over Twitter is termed as Mini-blogging. So, in a manner of saying, it is just another way of posting online about what you feel about certain issues, but in a lot fewer words.

All you have to do on Twitter is to make yourself sound interesting, important or informative. If you can be good at any of those three things, you’re at the right place. The basic purpose of this social networking forum is to let you follow your favorite celebrities, journalist, entrepreneurs, or anyone who you cannot possibly meet or interact with in real life. But over time, it has been transformed into forum where writers, bloggers, and all sorts of interesting people get together and share random moments of their lives making the place much more attention-grabbing.

You need to start off with discovering the most influential Twitter users around you and start following them. Picking the ones who are not actual celebrities makes it easier for you to get replies to your tweets and even get followed back by them, at times. Regular interactions with these people and posting interesting things that they might retweet will give you greater exposure and more people might start following you.

If you are a girl and you have a pretty profile picture on your Twitter profile, you are likely to get thrice as many followers as the most famous guy in your college regardless of how thick you may sound in your tweets. And I don’t mean any offence to all the blondes out there.

One more thing you can do is to keep posting different sorts of news occasionally with the relevant HashTags. It could be about Technology or politics or movies or anything that you think people may respond to. But keep in mind, correct Hashtags are very important. They serve as the Keyword and give your tweet a lot more visibility, especially if that Hashtag is trending. Or you can simple look at your left on your Twitter home page and pick the Hashtags that are currently trending in the top ten and post about them.

In the end it’s all about being a little more fun and interesting that who you actually are and you will hit your Twitter celebrity status in due time.

Cloud Connection on Social Networks

It is now impossible to imagine anyone living in isolation, unless they were rebelling against the system. While the internet set the initial pace, social networks inferred data from multiple units on singular platforms and systematically organized them. But this organization would not be made possible, especially for larger networks such as Facebook, were it not for cloud computing. Cloud services function as virtual systems within a larger system.


Facebook is not a cloud service in the strictest sense, but their features have all the components of cloud computing, which is data sharing. The storage capacity is exemplary. Just to give you a glimpse, it has an estimated 60 billion photos stored within its network that occupies 1.5 million GB of disk space. With all the other networks put together, the data storage figures in zettabytes! With such astounding figures, cloud storage is the only solution, because no physical drive could be able to manage all this and more of future storage within its system.

Cloud storage works for both personal and corporate use. Users are able to access Facebook applications without worrying about storage capacity on their device. If you are following its progress, then you will also be aware of such data centers that are accompanied with security threat. That is why social
networks are required to be proactive in order to maintain data.

Cloud gaming is another popular feature service that is increasingly popular. The best part is that Facebook game apps do not require download. Java is an essential programme required for its operation and fast internet speed to play games. Just how successful cloud ventures are has been observed lately through Gaiki that offers its cloud gaming service to Facebook through which game developers can create game apps for the network and provide video streaming for users. The same toolkit is also applicable for movies and music streaming.

Cloud services have proven to be versatile in their capability to provide broad-based connections for various business feature services. For instance, cloud storage assists CRM by providing customer data to marketers. It also forms the basis for direct communication on platforms and help target advertising to the right customers.
