The iPhone is Finally Ready to Fly to China

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:15:00 +0000

Finally, the iPhone is ready to fly to China - which clearly indicates that more than 100,000 iPhone developers from all over the world will get a fair chance to hitch a ride along with the smartphone. On Friday, China Unicom (CHU – news – people), known as CHU announced the deal, which states that it will bring Apple’s (AAPL – news – people) iPhone to China by the beginning of the first quarter. This move will undoubtedly open up a huge market, as there are 687 million wireless subscribers across the country.

Jeffrey Fidacaro, the Susquehanna Financial Group analyst argued over the deal on the same day. He said that the deal would eventually translate into another 2 million sales of the iPhone if Apple gets successful in grabbing 3% of the 65 million of China Unicom’s postpaid subscriber base to 70 million.

The deal, however, is quite unusual – nothing similar to the ones that Apple had signed so far. According to the deal, China Unicom, instead of sharing its revenue with the Cupertino, a California base company will buy the handsets directly from Apple. The deal further declares that the iPhones sold by China Unicom will not have the capability of Wi-Fi, which means the people of China will not have the benefit of Wi-Fi connection on their iPhones.

However, the deal - without any such clause could have been a huge opportunity for the iPhone developer, who put in all their efforts to create unique applications for the samrtphone platform, which they wish to cater to every user across the world. Colin Smith, the vice president and co-founder of Freeverse, one of the finest mobile phone game developers said: "China was definitely the big one,"-and it was indeed. Even though, North America (the iPhone first went on sale here) is and will remain the strongest market for Freeverse, nearly 40% sale of some of the games developed by the company has been across Europe. As Smith believes that the popularity of a game varies from market to market, in his view about China he says: "It's a big unknown for us,".

Even though, there are a lot speculations and assumptions around the market regarding the acceptance and popularity of the iPhone in China, it seems that the device will undoubtedly change the outlook of every smartphone user in the country and will also open up a new horizon for iPhone app developers.

AT&T and Apple’s Agreement – As Explained to FCC

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:11:00 +0000

AT&T, in a letter to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) clearly acknowledged that the company has made an agreement with Apple to block VoIP applications from using the cellular networks provided by them. However, in the agreement it was also said that the VoIP apps, which use Wi-Fi would be taken under consideration, i.e. these apps would not be blocked. Well, this could mean that iPhone developers will now have limited scope for developing more interactive apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch platform. Here is an overall gist of the agreement between AT&T and Apple.

In the agreement it was clearly stated that Apple would not take any affirmative step to enable an iPhone to use the wireless service of AT&T, which includes 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi for making VoIP calls without the prior consent of the company (AT&T). However, AT&T and Apple also agreed that if any third-party iPhone app developer enables a device in order to make VoIP calls using the wireless service of AT&T, then Apple would have no objection in taking serious action against that third-party developer.

The concurrence of the party on this provision was distinctly important considering the risks they assumed this would bring in marketing the iPhone. The willingness of the party and their ability to assume the risk involved in investing for the iPhone and its pricing strategy were quite predicated in some significant parts based on the assumptions made about the monthly service revenue generated by iPhone users.

Both the parties would require assurance that the revenue that comes from AT&T voice plans available to the customers of iPhone would not be reduced due to the activation of the iPhone’s VoIP calling functionalities. As a result, both AT&T and Apple agreed that Apple would not take any step to enable an iPhone to use the wireless service of AT&T in order to make VoIP calls.

The price that consumers pay for the iPhone (particularly the broadband enabled iPhone 3G) would likely have been much higher than what it is now if this arrangement was not made. While the agreement was being made AT&T clearly indicated Apple that the company wouldn’t object if Apple enables VoIP applications for iPhones using Wi-Fi connectivity instead of the 2G or 3G wireless data service of AT&T.

However, AT&T always remains updated and regularly reviews its policies about the features and capabilities that are available through the iPhone to ensure attractive options for its worldwide customers and also to provide iPhone developer a better platform to explore their abilities.

Apple’s Answer Regarding Rejection of Google Voice App did not Satisfy FCC

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:04:00 +0000

Apple’s rejection of the Google Voice app and the other similar third-party apps was highly criticized by not only iPhone developers, but by almost every iPhone market analysts, users, journalists as well as bloggers. Even though Apple’s application rejection is not very new to people, this particular incidence has indeed drawn immense attention and criticism from every part of the world. This issue was so far dragged that the FCC got involved in it and started questioning Apple for their actions.

However, the officials at Apple did not turn down FCC - they answered all their questions and made it clear why they rejected Google Voice app from appearing in the App Store. According to the company, the application has not been approved because, when submitted for review, the app appeared to alter the distinctive user experience of the iPhone by replacing its core mobile telephone functionalities and Apple’s original user interface with the app’s own user interface for different actions such as making telephone calls, voice mailing and text messaging.

Apple had put a lot of effort in developing its distinct and innovative way of seamlessly delivering the core functionalities of the device. But, the Google Voice app replaces the Visual Voicemail of Apple by routing all calls through a different Google Voice telephone number, which supports storage of any voicemail preventing them from being stored in the iPhone itself. Just in the exact manner, the app replaces Apple’s SMS text messaging features with the Google hub for managing text messages. Moreover, enabling Google Voice app would automatically transfer entire Contact’s database of the user to Google’s server. Apple has stated that since the company has not yet received assurance from Google about the data being used in an appropriate manner or the other issues, it cannot fully agree on approving the Google Voice app.

Even though the reason Apple showed might seem genuine, the answer did not fully convinced FCC. However, by taking this action Apple has clearly indicated that iPhone developer should not build any application that might try to replace existing core functions of the device. So, from now on every single iPhone app developer should be a little careful and make sure that his application is absolutely unique and does not try to replace or imitate any of the core functionalities of the iPhone.

3 Top iPhone Apps for 2009 Till Date

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 05:04:00 +0000

Within a year’s span, the App Store has been packed with more than 60,000 different kind of applications specially designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch. At the beginning of June this year, the store already crossed 50,000 apps and now, it receives nearly 300 applications every day. For an application storefront this young, the figure is indeed overwhelming. Among the thousands of various sort of applications it is really hard for iPhone users to pick-n-choose the best of the lot. Most consumers usually rely on the ratings provided by Apple and the iTunes Store. On iTunes, the ‘New and Noteworthy’ and the top applications are listed categorically, which surely help most iPhone users to make up their minds.

Since, this rating is based completely on unit sales; it quite disturbingly gives lead to the apps worth $0.99. This however, is extremely annoying and discouraging for most big iPhone developers as they back out from putting high budgets and serious resources for developing really useful applications, which in turn does injustice to the millions of deserving users. Apple, attempts to offset the ninety-nine cent gimmicks with a ‘Top Application List’, which may be helpful for customers but doesn’t actually do justice to the App Store.

However, there are few third-party services and tools under process, which would help users to make the right choices and explore the App Store in the best possible way. Following is a list of 3 top applications of this year so far. This rating has been derived from the popularity, usefulness and demand of the applications.

Slacker Radio – This is probably one of the most practical iPhone music apps after Pandora. It carries a huge catalog and offers Premium accounts with features that users have long been loathing about. As soon as you create an account on slacker.com, the application starts streaming music to you. With numerous amazing features and options, Slacker Radio is undoubtedly one of the best music apps that any iPhone app developer has ever created for this platform.

Hey Where Are You – This is an extremely well-designed social networking application that helps you to keep a track on your friends, colleagues or family whereabouts. This amazing location service application rightly utilizes Apple’s new Push Notification service to notify users about the location of the person they wish to track down.

Bento – Bento is an amazing productivity application that allows you to organize your busy schedule in one single iPhone application. iPhone developer FileMaker Inc. has bought Bento, one of the most popular personal database into iPhone and iPod Touch to make life a bit easier for iPhone users. With extremely convenient features and easy-to-use functionalities, Bento by far is one of the best of its kind.

There are however, many other iPhone applications featured in the App Store that are worth mentioning and there are also thousands more in the row and under process.

Spammer’s 1000 Apps Banned from the App Store – What’s Apple Up To?

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 06:27:00 +0000

While the whole smart phone industry - which also includes every single iPhone developer as well as user, is up in arms about Apple voting off the Google Voice app from the App Store, the company has been working on throwing out nearly hundred applications, which it consider to be of no use from its application storefront. Despite of the fact that the Apple’s App Store received more than 1.5 billion downloads over the past year – according to Apple there are quite a few applications that are largely useless and are unworthy of getting a place in the store. Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) has taken this issue quite seriously and has taken action accordingly.

The company gas pulled 943 apps from Khalid Shaikh, one of the well-known notorious iPhone developers. Apple accused the app-spammer to be unable to secure copyrights, trademarks and contents, which he pushed through his many iPhone applications. The company further said that all of Shaikh’s apps are in fact rip-offs and are essentially content aggregators. The applications basically collect articles on a specific topic and serve that content to the iPhone users. Khalid, tried to fool people into buying apps by charging $4.99 rather than $0.99. According to him “less product value” is a trade-off that furthers “more monetization”. The racket that Shaikh created came to an abrupt end when Apple revoked its iPhone Developer Program License Agreement after receiving too many complaints about copyright violation issues.

On one hand people are quite happy to see an app-spammer like Khalid being banned from the store, but on the other hand Apple’s decision of banning a developer who has been publishing nearly thousand applications has raised a more serious question among iPhone developer. Why did Apple in the first place, approve so many applications that do just a little more than aggregate online contents? Well, nobody actually can say what Apple had in mind while approving these apps. But, whatever the reason maybe, Apple certainly needs to revamp its policies for controlling the App Store and bring some changes in their application approval process.

The Best Ways to Get Your iPhone Apps Rank on Apple’s Top App List

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:03:00 +0000

It is the dream and ultimate goal of every iPhone developer getting their applications rank high in the App Store. With more than 65,000 apps distributed over 20 different categories the App Store is the biggest mobile application storefront in the world. Hence, getting an app up on the store is not an easy task. Well, in a megastore as big as the App Store, the only secret to success is getting your app noticed by Apple and of course by the users. Developers must make their apps interesting, attractive and impressive so that it stands out in the crowd and draw the attention of every individual iPhone and iPod Touch users.

The best way to grab user’s attention is to get an application rank on Apple’s application ranking lists, as they are regularly visited by users to search and find apps of their choice. Apple ranks both free and paid applications on the basis of their number of download. Every iPhone app developer targets at getting their applications to the top 25 list, which is displayed on the first page of the online store, when users access it from their iPhones. The next 25 listed applications can also be viewed and accessed from the device, but the rest of the apps within the top 100 list can be accessed only through computers. 100 is the maximum number that Apple considers for ranking.

Here are few tricks that would help you to get on the top 25 list:

Word-of-mouth campaign according to experts is the best way to grab attention. They say that the debut week of an app’s release is the crucial time for building interest and a good reputation in order to get noticed. Apple gives 50 promotional codes to the developers for their apps, which they can use to distribute among tech bloggers and influential reviewers.
Advertising is another affective way to get noticed. If you are ready to invest then advertise your application over the Internet and on other iPhone applications through the different ad networks.
When you submit an app to the App Store, make sure to set and mention a target release date.
Creating free demo version is also a good idea for promoting an application. Many iPhone developers build free trial versions for their paid apps. These versions are commonly labeled as “lite”. This way people will be more interested in your app and finally when they get addicted to the app, they will automatically upgrade to the paid version.
You can also draw user’s attention by offering introductory price cut for your apps. This will surely get your app more number of downloads.

However, there are several other techniques and tricks as well, which will help iPhone app developer to get their apps rank high on Apple’s top application list.

iPhone 3GS Battery Issue Concerns Users, Developers and iPhone Lovers

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:29:00 +0000

For some, the iPhone 3GS upgrade may be wasn’t that great, but for the people who genuinely appreciate the device, the news of an improved battery life was more than welcomed. People were started building high hopes and expected to see some amazing improvements on the iPhone 3GS. Not only users, but every iPhone developer believes that this powerful battery will encourage them in developing more sophisticated applications for the iPhone platform.

Apple, while commenting about the battery life of iPhone 3GS said that the device would run 9 hrs if used on WiFi, 10 hrs if played video files and 30 hrs if listened to music. Whereas the previous iPhone 3G get only 6 hrs of use on WiFi, 7 hrs for video playback and 24 hrs for music. This announcement was indeed very encouraging for every iPhone user and iPhone app developer as it promised to take the iPhone to a whole new level.

But, it seems that the iPhone 3GS battery quite disappointed the anticipating users and developers. The new device does not seem to offer much in terms of better battery performance. Many users, from different countries complained about a drop-off in the battery life of the new iPhone 3GS. Initially people thought that this was an initial set-up problem, which would dissolve within few days. But, as they started using the device, it appeared that it is indeed a serious issue. Most users say that the battery of iPhone 3GS is possibly worse than the battery of iPhone 3G.

After much analysis and tests, it is concluded that the problem is not with the battery –the defect lies with the iPhone OS 3.0. software upgrade. This accusation is reconfirmed after many iPhone 3G users complained to face same problem after upgrading their iPhone with OS 3.0. They say that the software degraded the battery performance of their handsets. Specialists assume that the new software is somehow unable to work efficiently and applications are therefore requiring more powers to run than usual. They say the iPhone may not be supplying as much power as it is required to run varied programs. Another issue, which might be the cause of the poor performance, is the presence of more “vampires” in the operating system that’s sucking the battery life. Push-notification is one such feature that most people suspect of eating up most of the battery life.

However, Apple is aware of this issue and is working on the upcoming 3.1 update to the OS, which will surely be free of such flaws. Good news for users and iPhone developer!

Apple and the iPhone Hackers – the fight continues!

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:28:00 +0000

The cat-and-mouse game between Apple and the hackers is a never-ending battle. Since the release of iPhone 3GS, hackers have been digging deep to jailbreak the device. Finally, a few days back the first jailbreaking software for the new generation iPhone was released. As per a web report, there has been a very interesting debate regarding the principles of hacking, where some people have tried to justify iPhone hacking pointing out some advantages that they believe are significant. Well, not every user or iPhone developer is quite happy with the idea of jailbroken iPhones.

Jailbreaking, according to many hackers, lets users install any application they want to on their iPhones even if the app is not approved by Apple. The idea of being capable of downloading all kind of applications indeed appeal to a lot of iPhone users, as they believe that Apple imposes too much restriction on application downloads. Some users are not very keen on abiding Apple’s rules and think that they should have more freedom on using their iPhones the way they want to.

On jailbroken iPhones, users can do a lot of things that they would not be able to do otherwise like – getting apps that would allow them to change the appearance of their iPhone screens, get complete control over an iPhone from desktop computers or even use the device as a modem for laptops.

Apple firmly disapproves what the hackers and the people who fully approves it and take advantage of their work do. A spokeswoman of Apple said – “these modifications not only violate the warranty, they also cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably.”

The hackers on the other hand keep on justifying their work by giving two reasons that they consider to be of great importance. Firstly, they believe that jailbreaking gives users a fair chance to use their personal iPhones in the way they want to. Secondly, they find it extremely challenging to get past Apple’s tight security measures. Well, no matter how ridiculous it might sound, jailbreakers have indeed justified their acts this way.

However, Apple on their latest release, the iPhone 3GS has added few extra layers of security measures and encryption. But, unfortunately Apple had left a major security hole in the device’s processor software, which has now become a gateway for the hackers to jailbreak into the iPhone 3GS. But, iPhone developer and users need not worry, as Apple is once again ready to fight back and soon will close all the open holes that allow hackers to jailbreak into the iPhone.

Apple Plans for the Next-Generation iPhone Already!

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:24:00 +0000

It is not even a month since the iPhone 3GS was released and yet rumors already started to spread about Apple working on the future generation iPhone. In fact, it is one of the hottest news in the mobile phone industry. The patent office in the US apparently seems to be busy with the plans Apple is making for its next-generation iPhone. It seems like the mighty mobile is about to experience some major new additions – as per the latest news.

Users as well as iPhone app developers are quite happy with the news that Apple has already started working on the future device. They believe that the company will take care of all the issues that are coming up on the iPhone 3GS and will consider those while upgrading. Since the release of iPhone 3GS and OS 3.0, users are reporting to face some unique unexpected problems that they couldn’t have imagined to experience on a sophisticated device as the iPhone. Therefore, this news came like a ray of hope to the people highly disappointed with Apple’s recent releases.

However, there have been a lot of speculations regarding the new additions that are likely to come with the new updates. The new patents show that the company is planning a lot of changes starting from real world object identification ability to face recognition and smarter message handling functionalities and much much more.

Like the Point and Find plans of Nokia, Apple plans to create iPhone’s object identification, which would be used for spying at different things starting from ads to shops and providing users with full information about what’s going down. For this, the device is likely to use something similar to RFID tags and bar codes, which would undoubtedly offer every iPhone developer an incredible opportunity to create killer applications for the App Store.

Even though, Face Recognition is not a very new concept on smartphones, Apple plans to make it a little different from what users have experienced so far. According to Apple’s plan, the iPhone will use the user’s face as the security device. Which means only the owner of the device will get access into the phone (probably over a front facing camera). This feature also points at a tighter iPhone integration with iPhoto, which is already packed with similar smart technologies.

Lastly, the smart messaging feature will allow users to see unread messages as well as missives from people they are about to call.

Well, what Apple really has in mind is quite hard to find. But, it seems that the company has huge plans for the future iPhone, which will surely take mobile phones to a whole new dimension. Good news for iPhone app developer and users!

Poor WiFi Reception over iPhone 3.0 – the hottest news in the mobile world

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:22:00 +0000

Since the release of Apple’s iPhone 3GS and OS 3.0, many users have come up with few issues regarding the new handset and software upgrade, which they complain to face. For the past few weeks, the only news about Apple’s new releases that made headlines was the issue of its battery overheating and discoloration. Well, it is indeed a huge thing for Apple, but recently the issue that has taken the center stage is the poor WiFi connectivity users are experiencing on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G that has been upgraded with the OS 3.0.

Well, this could actually lead to a larger problem and might directly affect the popularity of the device. Some users have reported to experience flaky WiFi connectivity on their 3G models after upgrading their iPhone operating system to 3.0. Users of the new-generation iPhone, which already has the 3.0 OS, also said the same. Although nothing specifically has been declared, this however, indirectly points at the software upgrade as to be one of the major sources of the problem.

iPhone 3G users, however also admitted that they experienced WiFi connectivity problem even before upgrading the operating system - but upgrading it to the latest version has in fact made the problem even worse. Not only users, but iPhone developer have also reported that WiFi connection seems to have decreased over the new upgrades particularly at places where users will have to login through web-browsers.

Users have taken up this issue so seriously that over the past few days, this was the main topic of discussion on the Apple discussion boards. On this discussion board there has been quite a few threads that are dedicated to this specific problem. The poor WiFi connectivity seems to have affecting users of all the models of iPhone with the new software upgrade.

What’s surprising as well as suspicious is that Apple had promised an increased battery life for the new device when running on WiFi. Therefore, the issue of poor WiFi connectivity has indeed put iPhone developer and users into great dilemma.

Since Apple Inc. has never so far disappointed its customers, we can expect some really impressive solution to this problem very soon.

The JavaScript Performance of iPhone 3.0 is Far Better than What Apple Claims

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:20:00 +0000

Apple has always been accused of having a tendency to hype about the speed of its devices by giving just the right benchmarks and using the right products while comparing. But, surprisingly the company seems to act a bit differently when it comes to its two new releases – iPhone 3G S and OS 3.0. It looks like Apple has quite underestimated the capabilities of the updates as far as the speed is concerned. Well, this is not an assumption; mobile analysts, users as well as iPhone developer believe that the speed they are now experiencing on the device is far better than what they had experienced so far.

A mobile analytic and advertising company did a comparison test on iPhone 3G S as well as the 3G S, with both the old and new operating systems. The company ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark on both the devices to measure the speed differences. The test revealed that the processor speed almost tripled on the iPhone 3G with the OS 3.0 and the iphone 3G S, which is built-in with the upgraded operating system, is three times faster in completing the SunSpider benchmark test.

But what’s more interesting is that the new iPhone 3G S only takes twelve times as long as a 2GHz Core 2Duo MacBook to complete the benchmark test. Even though this difference may sound huge, it is confirmed that at this rate users and iPhone app developer are yet to see some incredible performances on the next-generation of mobile phones.

It is not necessary that this benchmark would correlate directly into a far better user experience, but it is really good to see that even the iPhone 3G users will experience significant speed gain with the operating system upgrade. This would surely put iPhone developer in a much advantageous position, as they can now develop more sophisticated and complex cross-platform compatible web applications that would run smoothly on the iPhone and would not be interrupted by the inefficient performance of the mobile browser.

Federal Communications Commission Seeks Explanation from Apple and AT&T for Rejecting Google Voice Apps

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:15:00 +0000

Apple’s rejection of the Google Voice Application has become one of the hottest news across the mobile phone industry. There has been a lot of speculation regarding the reason behind this huge step Apple has taken to prevent applications getting duplicated. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took this issue quite seriously and launched an investigation on Friday to dig deep into the matter. FCC has been questioning Apple Inc. (AAPL) and AT&T Inc (T) regarding their rejection of Google Voice Application and removal of similar third-party applications from the App Store. However, this news has certainly put iPhone developer into deep thought.

Late on Friday, FCC sent letters to all the three companies asking them for explanation. The letter further seeks information whether or how AT&T was consulted in Apple’s decision of the rejection or removal of apps from the App Store. For the convenience of their investigation, FCC asked Apple to describe the conversation the company had with its partner (AT&T) while making decisions. In the letter the commission said:

“Why did Apple reject the Google Voice application for iPhone and remove related third-party applications from its App Store?… Did Apple act alone, or in consultation with AT&T, in deciding to reject the Google Voice application and related applications? If the latter, please describe the communications between Apple and AT&T in connection with the decision to reject Google Voice. Are there any contractual conditions or non-contractual understandings with AT&T that affected Apple’s decision in this matter?…Does AT&T have any role in the approval of iPhone applications generally (or in certain cases)? If so, under what circumstances, and what role does it play? What roles are specified in the contractual provisions between Apple and AT&T (or any non-contractual understandings) regarding the consideration of particular iPhone applications?”

FCC did not leave the matter to that but further asked about other VOIP applications that are approved by the company for iPhone and the ones that have been rejected in general. The commission also enquired about the standards that Apple has set for approving or rejecting apps and its approval process.

However, while FCC is busy investigating the issue, an AT&T spokesperson supported his company’s stand and said that they do not have any role in making decisions related to iPhone application approval or disapproval – it is Apple and Apple alone. In his comment, he said - “We have received the letter and will of course respond to it. AT&T does not manage or approve applications for the app store,”

No matter what the reason maybe, it is for sure that Apple’s decision will certainly have an impact on every iPhone app developer and upset almost every iPhone user.

Apple Blocks Google Voice Apps from the App Store: Creates Disappointment among Users and Developers

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:13:00 +0000

The latest news, which concerns almost every iPhone developer as well as the users, is the news of Apple rejecting and pulling out all Google Voice enabled applications from the App Store. The company cited the fact that the apps they have banned from the store as they duplicates the features that comes with the device itself. Not only that, Apple has even blocked Google’s official Google Voice application from the App Store. In other words, it is likely that iPhone users will no more have the advantage of using Google Voice, which indeed is one of the best telephony services that a smart phone user could ever think of. Therefore the news of Apples withdrawal and rejection of all GV apps has likely offended users and developers throughout the world.

Apple’s action has initiated a cold conflict between Apple and Google, which most fear could become the end of some amazing experiences that users could have otherwise enjoyed on their iPhones. According to a report, a spokesperson from Google said – “We work hard to bring Google applications to a number of mobile platforms, including the iPhone. Apple did not approve the Google Voice application we submitted six weeks ago to the Apple App Store. We will continue to work to bring our services to iPhone users — for example, by taking advantage of advances in mobile browsers.”

The Google Voice service basically allows users to select a phone number and have it ring all of their phones at the same time. It further allows users to screen callers while they leave voicemail or choose not to have certain phones ring during certain specified times. Moreover the service sends recording of the voicemails to the mail box of the user along with machine transcriptions. GV Mobile, a third-party iPhone app was the first to be removed from the store. The application allowed Google Voice service subscribers to dial numbers from the built-in iPhone address book, send SMS, playback system for voicemails and also make international calls in cheap rates. Other programs supporting Google Voice such as GVdialer and VoiceCentral were also pulled from the store for being an imitation of the device’s built-in features.

However, there has been a lot of speculation regarding the cause behind Apple’s rejection and most have agreed that AT&T plays a huge role behind it. It seems that Google’s Voice’s lines actually scares the carriers as it allows sending free SMS messages, making long distance calls on cheap rates as well as voice recording and forwarding. Well, whatever the reason may be, it is confirmed that for the time being, iPhone app developer and users will not be developing or getting applications that implement Google’s Voice services for the iPhones.

Apple Tablet Coming Soon – Developers Might Face Challenges

noreply@blogger.com (Margareth) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:09:00 +0000

If asked, every single iPhone app developer across the world would speak high of Apple and its unparallel development tools. These tools are indeed of first-rate and thus take application development to a whole new height. Apple’s enormous App Store is undoubtedly the biggest application store front in the world, which serves as an ideal platform for iPhone developer to showcase their creativity and talent. Through this store, developers get a chance to present their applications to the users - quickly and easily. And above all, developers get a target market for their products that’s not only huge, but is growing by the days.

However, it seems that the uniformity of the target market might get a little affected. On Friday, Apple Insider reported that the company is now working on a new Apple tablet computer, which will likely be released early next year. Apple’s move to build a strong team of mobile chipset developers and the purchase of PA Semi last year surely affirms the report of Apple Tablet Computer in making.

Apparently, this new release might seem to bring some interesting changes in the world of iPhone, but the truth is that if Apple rolls out a tablet computer, it is likely that building applications for Apple’s portable devices, including iPhone and iPod Touch will become more complicated and difficult. Developers of the all the 65,000 (and above) iPhone applications believe that consistency is the biggest advantage of developing applications for these devices.

The Apple Tablet of course, has an upside for developers as well, which until now seems to outweigh any drawbacks. Apple, for quite sometimes has been warning iPhone developer about the changes that might occur in screen size and resolution of their current work platform. A Tablet computer is sure to put all the different applications, which includes games, news-browsing apps, social networking tools, entertainment etc. on a bigger screen. This change would undoubtedly glue users more to their iPhones, as the quality and visibility of the displays would be enhanced with a wider screen.

Even when many mobile companies are now coming up with different iPhone-like devices, Apple with their huge and fast sale of iPhone (3G and 3GS) and iPod Touch, doesn’t seem much worried about the downfall of its products.
