Happy 30th, PC!…… And R.I.P.

August 12 marks the 30th anniversary of the personal computer. So it’s either fitting or ironic that Mark Dean, an IBM engineer who done the company’s first PC now says of private computers: “They’re going the way of the vacuum tube, typewriter, vinyl records, CRT and incandescent light bulbs.”

Dean shared his thoughts on an IBM-sponsored blog. Many questioned IBM’s decision to sell its PC business to Lenovo in 2005, he writes, but, “it’s now clear that our company was in the vanguard of the post-PC era.”

Talking about the post-PC era, Dean says he himself has moved at night PC and now utilizes a tablet as his “primary computer.” He doesn’t tell us who made that tablet, but it’s interesting to consider that IBM made the very first tablet computer, the ThinkPad 700T, all the way back in 1990.

Perhaps Apple’s lawyers should consider this before insisting to German along with other courts that anything that looks like a tablet violates the company’s patents and trademarks.

AS technological innovations get faster by the day, it might not be too long that pc takes a place in obsoletion like floppy disk, with CDs and DVDs joining it soon.

Project Spartan – Facebook’s Approach towards the evergrowing App-o-sphere

We’ve discovered the presence of yet another secret project within Facebook. And while it’s not quite as sexy because the new Photos app, the ramifications of it tend to be larger. Greet Project Spartan.

As we comprehend it, Project Spartan is the codename for a new platform Facebook is on verge of launching. It’s entirely HTML5-based and also the aim would be to reach some 100 million users in a key place: mobile. Specifically, the first target is both surprising and awesome: mobile Safari.

So if Facebook declaring War with Apple? Yes, apprently as it looks like Facebook is about to launch a mobile platform aimed squarely at focusing on the iPhone (and iPad). But here’s the issue – it won’t be distributed through the App Store as a native application, it will likely be entirely HTML5-based
and work in Safari. Why? Because it’s the main one area of the device that Facebook will be able to control (or mostly control). And that means breaking free from Appstore. That might just be the game changer.

Facebook won’t ever admit this, but those acquainted with the project believe the intention is extremely clear: to use Apple’s own devices against them to break the stranglehold they’ve on mobile app distribution. With nearly 700 million users, Facebook is certainly in the position to challenge the
almighty App Store distribution mechanism. However they have to be able to do so on Apple’s devices which will make up a key chunk from the market.

By right now, there are thought to be 80 or so outside developers working with Facebook on Project Spartan. These teams are working on apps for the platform that range from games to news-reading apps. A few of the names should be familiar: Zynga and Huffington Post (of our parent AOL),
for example. The goal would be to have these apps ready to roll within the next couple weeks for a formal unveiling shortly thereafter.

Work continues to be going on for at least two months, with Facebook putting in lots of work before that. So some of the apps may not be fully polished at launch. It might be more of a “look what we can do” type thing.

Imagine loading up the mobile web version of Facebook and finding a drop-down for a new type of app. Clicking on one of the apps loads it (from whatever server it’s on depending on the app-maker), and immediately a Facebook wrapper is brought in to surround the app. This wrapper will give the
app some basic Facebook functionality, along with the capability to use key Facebook elements – like Credits.

One thing the App Store has nailed is an easy payment system. Facebook has been attempting to build exactly the same thing with Credits, but to date hasn’t done much in the mobile space. With Project Spartan, they plan to have Credits built-in to allow developers to sell apps and offer in-app purchases.
This will be vital for any partner like Zynga, for example.

Speaking of Zynga, it’s been noted for some time that Facebook was placing a huge focus on making it easier for game developers to construct with HTML5 instead of Flash (like Zynga and others currently do). The culmination of the will be Project Spartan.

Even though the target may ultimately be Apple, in connection with this, they’re somewhat helping Apple by killing off yet another huge piece of Flash reliance on the web: gaming.

However, the real goal is to buy people using Facebook because the distribution model for games and other apps, not the App Store (or any other distribution hub).

Much has been manufactured recently about Apple’s partnership with Twitter over iOS 5. It’s widely believe that Facebook used to be the preferred partner, but was snubbed – or did the snubbing, for just one reason or another. Regardless, the implications are clear: Twitter will be the big single sign-on partner for iOS, not Facebook, even though that’s a key section of focus on their behalf. So they’re using the battle to the browser.

Android will also clearly take part in this new platform. But we’re told that the initial target is certainly mobile Safari on iOS devices.

Situations are about to get a lot more interesting in the mobile space. More to come.

Mobile app diagnoses malaria from a single drop of blood

With the increase of smartphone apps volume, the extent of their capability has also increased tremendously. A recent one such app is the Lifelens project.

Focusing this time on the millions of people at risk from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the world, Lifelens is a project that has created a smartphone app to diagnose the insidious, mosquito-borne disease.

Several million people die every year from Malaria, and roughly 85 % of them are children under the age of 5, the Lifelens project notes. Probably the most prevalent diagnostic tool, meanwhile, is the rapid diagnostic test (RDT), that is considered to be of a 60 percent incidence rate of false positive results. That, in turn, leads to the treatment of lots of people who don’t have Malaria, driving in the costs of anti-Malaria treatment significantly. The Lifelens project, on the other hand, aims to create the process both cheaper and much more accurate by analyzing blood digitally instead. Specifically, once blood is stained to reveal the Malaria parasites, the project’s smartphone app can analyze a magnified picture of a small amount of blood captured via simple finger prick, including counting the different types of cells it offers. Malarial parasites are the type of it can identify, making false results much less likely. Once analysis is complete, data is uploaded to the Web, where it can be mapped for any high-level view of where Malaria outbreaks are occurring.

The video below demonstrates Lifelens in action:

Melanoma and Malaria, of course, are just two of countless other afflictions that plague mankind. Mobile entrepreneurs: where else could smartphones be used to save lives?

All About iPhone 5 [UPDATED]

Stay with us as we go through all the rumors and updates on Apple’s iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 release date

This year’s WWDC was about software, not hardware, with Apple focussing on iOS and Mac OS
On 20 April 2011, it emerged that the iPhone 5 release date may be September 2011. This date was cited by three sources who spoke to Reuters.
On 6 May it was reported that Apple manufacturer Pegatron has reportedly been given a massive order by Jobs and co to produce 15 million handsets ready for the phone’s autumn launch.
On 19 July Apple seemingly confirmed the presence of a new iPhone in the market by the end of Q3, leading to yet more suggestions that the iPhone 5 will be landing in September.
Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer was asked during an earnings call why he was suggesting a 12 per cent drop in revenues for the Q3 financial period – a traditionally robust time thanks to the scores of people buying the latest iPhone.
He said that there is “a lot going on in the fall with iOS 5 and iCloud” but added there will be a “future product transition that we will not talk about today”.
T3 says Apple is also hiring more staff for September, while it’s also been reported that US network AT&T has slapped a holiday ban on staff for a possible launch. Some are even saying it could be 5 September.
Price cuts of the iPhone 4 in August also hint at a September release date for the iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S.

iPhone 5 will be iCloud-based
Apple says it is “cutting the cable” with iOS 5 – just as well, as it claimed the iPad 2 was the first post-PC device earlier in the year. OS updates can be delivered over the air – you’ll just received what’s changed rather than the usual 600MB download – and devices can be activated without plugging them into iTunes.
You can also now create and delete iOS calendars and mailboxes too, so you really can devolve your device from your PC or Mac.
“You can activate on the device and you’re ready to go,” explained Apple’s Scott Forstall.
“Software updates are now over the air. So you no longer need to plug in to update your software. And they’re now Delta updates. Instead of downloading the whole OS, you only download what’s changed,” he continued.

Will iPhone 5 actually be an iPhone 4S?

Of course, since the iPhone 3G was followed by the 3GS it’s possible the new iPhone won’t be a total refresh and we’ll see an iPhone 4S (or iPhone 4GS) before an iPhone 5.
An iPhone 4S looked more likely on 16 May 2011 after analyst Peter Misek wrote: “According to our industry checks, the device should be called iPhone 4S and include minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core processor, and HSPA+ support.”
However, earlier reports from China backed up the larger-screened, metal chassis-sporting iPhone 5 rumours, so the redesign still seems firmly on the cards.

A cheaper, smaller iPhone 5 – an iPhone nano

A prototype version of a smaller iPhone is said to exist, built to ward off competition from cheap Android handsets.
Rumours around an iPhone nano picked up again on 13 February when the Wall Street Journal claimed that the so-called ‘iPhone nano’ exists and may even be on sale later this year.
Those iPhone nano rumours may hold little truth, though. As we reported on 18 February, the New York Times cites an anonymous source who says there will be no smaller iPhone from Apple. “The size of the device would not vary,” says the source.

A white iPhone 5

The Economic Daily News is reporting that white iPhone 5 glass is being shipped, with a supplier called Wintek being the sole touch panel vendor for the white iPhone.

iPhone 5 will support 1080p HD

It’s fairly likely – given that the iPad 2 supports Full HD – that the new iPhone will do the same.

iPhone 5 specs

The specs? A new antenna, 1.2GHz processor (possibly dual-core) and a larger screen: 3.7″ instead of 3.5″. The iPhone 5 may also be made from a new kind of alloy, or maybe meat.
According to the Chinese Economic Daily News (via AppleInsider), with the exception of Qualcomm chipsets – which would replace the current Infineon chipsets in the iPhone 4 – Apple’s sticking with the same suppliers for the 2011 iPhone 5G components.
We’d expect the basics of the iPhone 5 specs to get a bump – more memory, faster processor, and more storage. The A5 dual-core ARM processor from the iPad 2 is extremely likely to be included.

iPhone 5 screen

The iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S will also get a massive graphical boost as it moves to a dual-core GPU – this could herald true 1080p output from the new device, according to our news story on 18 January.
In other rumours which surfaced on 15 February 2011, Digitimes is reporting on information supposedly leaked from component suppliers that claim the iPhone 5 will feature a larger, 4-inch screen. Digitimes quotes the source as saying that Apple is expanding the screen size “to support the tablet PC market as the vendor only has a 9.7-inch iPad in the market.”
On 22 March 2011, China Times also reported that the iPhone 5 will feature a 4-inch display.
On 23 May, we reported on rumours that the iPhone 5 could feature a curved glass screen. These rumours also came from Digitimes, which said that Apple has purchased between 200 and 300 special glass cutting machines because they’re too costly for the manufacturers to invest in.

iPhone 5 camera
Speaking at a live Wall Street Journal event, Sony’s Sir Howard Stringer was talking about the company’s camera image sensor facility in Sendai, a town that was recently ravaged by the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
According to 9to5Mac, he said something along the lines of, “Our best sensor technology is built in one of the [tsunami] affected factories. Those go to Apple for their iPhones… or iPads. Isn’t that something? They buy our best sensors from us.”
Other sources have also said that the new iPhone could have an 8MP camera.

iPhone 5 price
If the iPhone 5 is an evolutionary step like the move from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3GS then we’d expect the price to stay more or less the same, although in the UK higher VAT rates may well mean a higher price tag.

Create a Mobile Strategy for your Business (part 3)

A good mobile strategy will include several ways to connect with consumers via their mobile devices. Text or SMS/MMS, Bluetooth messaging, marketing campaigns, mobile coupons and geo-location are all completely different and supply assets when used correctly covers your basic mobile ecosystem, says Jamie Turner, author of How To Make Money With Social Media. There are primary ways in which companies and brands are utilizing mobile media.

Continuing from the previous posts-

How you can Create a Mobile Strategy for Your company: Mobile Apps

Want to find a recipe for any 30-minute meal? Chances are it comes with an app for that. Need to convey an apology via a virtual bouquet of roses? It comes with an app for your, too. There are now numerous mobile apps serving up informative tips, educational bits, or pure entertainment or gaming.

From beverage makers to quick-service restaurants to apparel brands, a lot of companies are utilizing mobile apps to boost brand awareness and affinity. Your business can, too. However, you must have a comprehensive understanding of your audience.

The easiest method to use apps is to create something that is both useful and valuable. More importantly, it ought to be functional like a calculator, entertaining such as a video, game or music, or provide some sort of social connectedness, for example an app for any special user community, says Turner. Also, most mobile users don’t wish to spend an hour or so getting together with your content. They usually have to have one very specific thing. Apps can be used for frequently accessed content and services while mobile browsing is more centered on content and services that are accessed less frequently.

GateGuru is definitely an app that’s centered on location awareness which airport retailers advertise on to drive users into stores, while Nestlé Purina’s app give a database of pet-friendly places round the country. Other apps allow it to be easy to buy things with some clicks. For example, the ShopRite app allows customers to see and add weekly sales what to their shopping lists. And Starbucks’ mobile app lets people make transactions directly using the wave of their smartphones, helping to drive sales.

How to Produce a Mobile Strategy for Your Business: Mobile Campaigns and Ads

Mobile marketing presents a distinct and different method to create interactive dialogues with customers. Mobile marketing requires matching the creative towards the device’s smaller display size; designing messages that are short, instantly understood, and effective; and creating a demand action with minimal steps.

Research indicates that mobile ads perform about five times better than Internet ads. The most typical mobile ads are pretty straight forward text links and display adds that are sold depending on cost per clicks, cost per acquisition and cost per thousand. These ads are much like the paid search campaigns on Google, Bing or Yahoo!

Mobile marketing isn’t about your convenience, meaning your ability to achieve consumers anywhere at anytime, says Gail Z. Martin, author of 30 Days To Social Media Success. The benefits of finding the information or discount using a mobile device should be valuable enough towards the recipient.

For example, says Martin, “if you are a restaurant and also you use mobile phone advertising to communicate say around 4 p.m. on the Friday a great dinner special. That may be considered helpful. But if your company isn’t time dependent, the reason for deciding to send info on someone’s phone versus just sending them an e-mail. It has to seem sensible to the recipient like a benefit and never seen as an intrusion.”

Use mobile marketing solutions to drive participation at exhibitions or to drive traffic towards retail environments. If you have two seats left for any workshop or an event, you are able to send a message offering a price reduction. But like a computer company do you really need to transmit a comment in regards to a discount or promotion on a laptop via mobile phone.

Make offers that are in tuned using the buying habits from the recipient. You have to sync your messaging together with your customers’ purchase history or favorites. Like a pet shop, texting deals on pet food and dog treats to cat or bird owners will not do them much good, for example. “If you are sophisticated enough to delve into mobile advertising, I would hope you could be sophisticated enough to possess consumer buying records to be aware what individuals need and want,” Martin says.

“You may even Tweet and asks customers what they need to receive after which show them you listened by making those same offers.” This goes to the social networking bit of creating a dialogue rather than a monologue. You really need to be strategic by what content you send out using mobile media, cautions Martin.

Maintaining submissions are a continuing problem with regard to businesses looking to promote long-term engagement through mobile stations. According to Forrester Study, make your content material in the framework that it is being delivered. Merely transferring media communications from one format to another will ultimately journey up the user’s experience as well as undermine any kind of ethics you are attempting to build.

A vital consideration is what are the advantages to the customer associated with becoming a member of your cellular coupon, cellular website, cellular text message, or mobile application? Your own mobile strategy has to be built-into your overall marketing campaign, says Martin. You need to communicate those benefits through all other advertising as well as social networking stations.

Create a Mobile Strategy for your Business (part 2)

A good mobile strategy will include several ways to connect with consumers via their mobile devices. Text or SMS/MMS, Bluetooth messaging, marketing campaigns, mobile coupons and geo-location are all completely different and supply assets when used correctly covers your basic mobile ecosystem, says Jamie Turner, author of How To Make Money With Social Media. There are primary ways in which companies and brands are utilizing mobile media. Here are some key approaches.

How you can Produce a Mobile Technique for Your company: Mobile Internet sites

Several companies possess a subdomain setup specifically for cell phones. So, for example, when users type www.ESPN.com into a smartphone the ESPN site actually figures out that they are going to the site from the mobile tool and redirects them to a subdomain, Turner explains. “That way the user experience from the phone is different than the user experience in a computer. The trick would be to produce a mobile site that loads quickly and offers an easy, streamlined experience,” he says.

Diane Irvine, CEO of Seattle-based jewelry site Blue Nile, realized the importance of mobile delivery when her site made a $40,000 diamond sale using a mobile device last year. She soon learned that she required to make her site more mobile-friendly for iPhone users. Last year, she introduced a mobile version of the Blue Nile site. It’s smaller than the company’s PC site in scope, with quick tabs to find diamonds, wedding rings and gift ideas. Because the launch, Irvine says, “More than 20 percent of our shoppers are utilizing the mobile site.” The reason being is that it gives people the flexibility to look wherever they are. “This will end up the way forward for shopping,” she adds.

Many small businesses use websites offering semi-automatic cookie-cutter mobile sites. For example, iFolios offers templates of websites for anybody – artists, architects, realtors – who want to showcase pictures that are optimized for mobile devices. Users pay a set amount at iFolios ($99 or $169, with respect to the level of service). Other mobile web services include DudaMobile and bMobilized. These companies offer mobile mirrors of your website through automatic tools. Monthly fees remain $9.99, which is along with monthly hosting charges being paid.

Create a Mobile Strategy for your Business (part 1)

Let’s face it. Mobile devices have drastically shifted the online landscape to the stage that in 2010 a lot more than 50 % of all Internet access was being done via handhelds of some sort. About 45 percent of mobile owners are utilizing their devices to download social media apps. Actually, 35 % of Android and iPhone owners in the U.S. use apps for example Facebook before getting out of bed, according to a current survey conducted by telecommunications equipment vendor Ericsson.

In addition, reports by Forrester Research reveal that heavy app users are also heavy mobile Web users. Nearly all United states consumers who have interacted with a brand using a mobile device have employed a mix of SMS, apps and browsers. Therefore, it shouldn’t be an “either or” decision for companies seeking to develop mobile solutions, say Forrester market analysts.

Nowadays it is rare to find somebody that doesn’t rely on a smartphone or some type of handheld device and a slew of mobile apps to stay productive at work, on the highway or perhaps their home. There are so many mobile electronic gadgets available on the market, including the popular iPhone, Palm Pre, BlackBerry Bold, iPad and Android tablet.

Mobile is a booming industry but it is still also considered uncharted waters for a lot of businesses looking to expand brand awareness. What most companies call their mobile strategy really just comes down to an accumulation of mobile tactics, according to Jeremiah Owyang, an analyst with the Altimeter Group, an investigation advisory firm located in San Mateo, Calif. Inside a blog post based on his presentation in the Mobile Marketing Strategies Summit in San Francisco, Owyang argues that companies should build a strategy in line with the entire customer experience and not simply depending on technologies on hand or just on features and functions. This isn’t about guesswork. He says companies should evaluate how their customers are in fact using mobile technologies across all of their customer lifecycle.

If integrating a mobile technique is on your company’s radar, then these pointers will assist you to enable you to get going. Initiation of a mobile strategy should always begin with taking into consideration the basics: who, what, why and just how. Begin by asking yourself the following questions.

Who’re your customers as well as who are you attempting to reach? Who will wish to build relationships your mobile content? Exactly what duties and requires will your audience possess? Why do your visitors need info from you in a timely manner? Why must you produce content to become viewed in standard browsers and on cellular devices? How will your own target audience entry your own mobile content (which kind of handheld device)? The way they will use your content in their lives? How will you make your mobile content sticky and engaging?

What is XML and Why your business needs it

Wikipedia defines XML (Extensible Markup Language) as ‘..a set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form.’

XML is a method in order to structure electronic paperwork, and it is goal would be to individual demonstration, framework, and meaning from the real content. It requires an exceptionally simple approach to framework. Essentially, it really marks sections of a document with the descriptive content label (therefore “markup”-and simply because you’re not restricted to a set group of labels, it is “extensible”). In reality it’s already been so effective from carrying this out, it’s now accustomed to represent any type of data framework (including directories and other company info).

Right now as being a business owner you might be thinking, So what?

Well, think of it as keeping your company data in such a structure that allows you to effortlessly move, convert and/or update to additional software program systems.In case your company sees that digital info plays a significant part in the current and long term business endeavors then follow through to understand more about how XML can improve company growth-

Using XML: Understanding Your Data

Using XML, you are able to behave individually of the software program. Quite simply, you will be able to move data through software updates and even to different software products without the fear that it’ll turn out to be incompatible with its brand new atmosphere. For instance:

Let’s imagine your organization spends within handheld devices for any number of employees in the field to gather crucial client information. Data is collected the same way every time and it is refined because of your ERP system. You might find that the software and device this purchased runs on the closed proprietary data structure, one that cannot be utilized in an additional framework. You’ve locked your self as well as your information into that certain way of operating completely: You can’t obtain the data from the system in any additional way.

If you would make use of XML, on the other hand, you’re liberated to perform with it as you would like. For example, you can later on choose to existing the information for your customer in a pleasant format, too.

Utilizing XML: Moving Data

Using XML, you will be able to have interaction with your suppliers’ and partners’ data as well as programs a lot more easily utilizing business standards. For example:

Let’s imagine you run a small company which puts out info as well as wants to include Amazon . com in your submission system.
Your own funky and effective way of working with your current system associated with resellers via e-mail simply will not golf swing with Amazon. A person have no choice but to supply Amazon . com along with catalogue data in XML format, and that is going to be the situation along with any of the larger
seafood you might deal with in future. Perhaps it might have been easier to begin to build the actual portfolio in XML in the very first place, rather than going through a painful migration after you have to.

Using XML: Translating Data

Lastly, if you choose to make use of XML, you’ll have the freedom in order to repurpose as well as re-use information in several situations, rather than frequently re-creating this. For example:

Assume your company spends in excellent sales and marketing security for the Web, and you choose that it would be great also to submit the collateral to cellular environments-and in certain cases-print.

Mountains of digital market and purchasers security must be re-created in multiple platforms. You might want to submit to the Web, to BlackBerries, within Pdf file format, inprinted pamphlets, and when you’ve got all those protected, a brand new as well as unexpected format will probably slip on a person. Will your business have an apple ipad application however? Creating the same info within multiple different
formats is lots of work; utilizing XML significantly simplifies the process.

Wrapping up:
In daily procedures, you’re not the one that will read XML: your own software is. Being an entrepreneur running a small , growing company, you don’t need to become an IT or even specialized wizard. You will find armies associated with skilled people out there that may be used or even caught, and the’ve all the IT abilities you can actually require. All you need to perform is to tell your IT people, “Wherever feasible, I wish to standardize using XML for all information as well as content material.Inch It is as simple as that.
