Joos has managed to port Flash onto an iPhone in order to run an event guide he had prepared for a local music festival. While the developer hasn’t managed to make Flash run as a browser plug-in he has managed to get the Adobe multimedia software running.
Size comparisons are always fun. Aren’t they? I’ve done not one or two, but many size comparisons of the Palm centro with the rest of my devices and ‘things’.
Photogenics is a dream come true application for the photographers on-the-go. Add fabulous effects; edit your images and make them look professional. All this packed in a single application!
Photogenics is an advanced photoediting application for the windows mobile professional devices. I was made aware that the Idurna Photogenics is based on the Windows and Linux versions of the software. The fabulous guys at Idurna have optimised the application very nicely for the small screens of mobile devices.
Let’s take a quick glance at the working and features of the Idruna Photogenics:(in the end, I said ‘it is a great application by photogenics’. It is actually “Idruna”) ;)

Now, it is not a just another IDL(Interface Description Language: used to define an application interface). It is way less complicated. Protocol Buffers are way simplier.
Protocol Buffer is an innovative way to store the data. By using it, one can define data structures(DS). These DS are then compiled to produce code to parse.
Google neither uses XML nor does it stores data in raw-form. The google has gone one step ahead and has made it avaliable to the open-source community too!

VITO Technology releases Winterface – a major breakthrough in the world of Windows Mobile interface. Winterface is the Next Generation Shell for Windows Mobile comprising the options of a launcher, a task manager, and a multitude of Today plug-ins. Winterface gives the user unprecedented freedom to easily lay out interface exactly the way they like it.
As a shell Winterface removes the necessity to turn to default Windows Mobile interface: Today screen and Start menu. Winterface opens instantly whenever users draw a simple gesture on the screen. It allows users to have as many screens as they need and put on them icons for applications, settings and contacts. The screens are flipped through with sliding finger gestures. The icons for such applications as phone, sms, email, battery, clock, calendar, memory, etc. – all show relevant information and thus replace a number of Today plug-ins. Continue reading “Winterface – FRESH LOOK at WINDOWS MOBILE INTERFACE”
The original iPhone came with $499 and $599 price tags. Then came the iPhone 3G, which was introduced with lower price tags than it’s elder brother, $199 and $299.
Over the course of a two-year contract, the original iPhone user paid $1,839 for hardware and monthly fees. For the iPhone 3G, it comes out to be $1999 for a two-year contract!
The iPhone 3G also comes with exchange support. A catch is there too! While the windows mobile and blackberry users do not have to pay anything for the exchange support, iPhone 3G users will have to pay additional $15 for that.
..so much for being cheaper :o
“Google seems so friendly,” she said. “I don’t understand why they don’t do a better job protecting our data.”
Yes, these were the words of a lady whose data was stolen online. All she did was shopped for tickets online; make payments for her car loan. A keylogger logged her data and sent it online. Heck, it didn’t leave her online conversation with her friends. She wasn’t aware of the keylogger.
After some months, the authorities were made aware of the breach and the data was taken down from there server(s) , but there was one place where the data was still avaliable. Our best friend, Google :!:
“Google, like all search engines, is a reflection of the content and information that’s available on the Internet,” he said. “We actively work to keep users informed on how they can stay safe online.”
In this case, however, Google did remove the cached pages, but it took the company two tries to delete them.
One of the great coders of xda-developers, TWOLF have come up with this great application, Tempus
I decided to do a video review of the application:
Here is what it looks like:
The only drawback I see is the use of shareware flash plugin, Animated Today. But, the Tempus is avaliable for free! TWOLF is looking for someone to make a freeware flash plugin for him. If you got that coding capability, go ahead and give him a hand :)
