Android: Easy Way To Develop Mobile Apps



As you know google has intrudec Android a Development Mobile Platform. With this platform you can develope easy app for mobile, the code is writted in Java. The source code is open and a communitie has been founded. Is interesting that now there's no mobile phone in market that supports android, in this case google thinks is more important firts a strong platform and after a mobile device. On the other hand the Apple case, first Apple introduce iPhone before the SDK (is expected for February 2008) and I think Apple doesn't have in the initial plans release the SDK, maybe iPhone jailbreak, a lot of interesting app for the iPhone and the Android Launch force the SDK. Also last news says about Apple has sent the SDK to developers few days ago.
What do you think about?

Unlock iPhone in Germany


T-Mobile will sell the iPhone unlock for 999€. You can decide to pay 999 or 399 with two years contrat. After Vodafone demand T-Mobile will offer the two options. I think is more cheap buy an unlock iPhone, because if you buy it with contrat after tow years of contrat you spend a lot of money. Nowadays the tax are mor cheap and if you use Wi-Fi instead of GPRS you don't spend money in the traffic.

Share Music Between Two iPods

If you want to share your music with a friend with this device you can do it without iTunes. This device has tow dock connectors to do it. I don't know if you can select the files to share it. It appears a good idea to do it. I think Apple doesn't like this device. You can buy it for 99$.



Thanks to Lizaro.

New Ultra - Portable Mac


Now there's no Ultra-Portable Mac as the old 12 inch Power Book. There are some rumors about it. Perhaps Apple wants to introduce it at the MacWorld Expo 2008. Nowadays Apple doesn't have any devide to compete with Sony Vaio, an interesting option to have a ultra-portable device. Another question is the screen, Apple could be think to add the iPhone/iPod multitouch screen to this devices. I think is a good idea, because then Apple can compete also with TablePC devices, making more amazing the user experience

Non Traslucent Menu Bar In Leopard


You're viewving a non traslucent menu bar in leopard, and you dont' why? Apple explains why it occurs. The problem is because the graphics card is not compatible with Core Image.

"Some graphics cards, such as an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, may not have the necessary OpenGL capabilities to display a translucent menu bar even though they are compatible with Core Image. Those cards should render most effects, but not the translucent menu bar."

Today Starts Eruopean iPhone on Germany and UK


Today will be launched the European iPhone. Perhaps there are less expectation than US iPhone, or not?. Here in Europe Nokia has more mobile market, and will be difficult that Apple sells the sames iPhones on Europe than US. Other question is that iPhone doesn't have 3G interface (are rumors about a 3G iPhone will launched on may 2008), and if you don't connect it to Wi-Fi the connection will be slow. What do you think about european iPhone impact?

Mac Os X Leopard Upgrade DVD


I have received the DVD the last Monday, as you can see in the photo the DVD doesn't have box with tridimensional logo. The package only contains the "Wellcome Book" and the DVD. Another interesting thing is before you install it the installation program scan the computer finding the Tiger image to upgrade. Conclusion: if you have a blank mac you can't install leopard with this DVD, you must to install Tiger first and then updgrade.

Also I try to install Leopard in a old Power Mac G4 400 Mhz and the installation program verifies the MAC type, and if is not supported you can't install it. Really in this computer sometimes Tiger runs slowly, I think the OS X update on this computes has finished. :(

The ITU aproves WiMax as 3G communication standard



The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) aproves WiMax as standard, is good news for intel because they're developing this technology and bad for other companies like Qualcomm or Ericsson they're developing another alternatives. The WiMax technology is a wireless technology like WiFi, but the WiMax is better, works more quick and for a long distance. Is capable of work at 70 Mbps in a 65 Km radius.

Dashcode: Very amazing and easy development way to Widgets.

There are a few of templates:



Navigation menu with objects hierarchy

The Dashcode app is in the Leopard installation DVD, you can also download it form the developer site of apple, with the XCode 3, installation image. You must to register as developer.

You can download a widget to read the rss of appleresearch, was made with a template about in five minutes or less :)
