A Robot made from Nokia’s

A Robot made from Nokia’s

It’s not a sight you see every day. A robot made entirely out of used Nokia phones. As micgadget points out the Nokia Robot has been made to highlight ‘Green’ – or more accurately, encouraging people to start a low-carbon green life by exchanging their old Nokia for a free film ticket!

For the eagle eyed amongst you, you may have seen the Nokia eco-benches somewhere before!

The world’s smallest stop motion animation, followed by the world’s largest stop motion animation. Both filmed on the Nokia N8. The latter of which is almost done and ready to share!

4. Direct & Project

Taking place at the Vancouver Art Gallery, some rather talented film-makers were given the chance to express their creativity by directing and projecting their very own 60 second Nokia N8 films.

See the winning entry ‘Normal Design’ below.

5. Cannes Lions

Held only last month, the Cannes Young Lions were challenged to write, shoot and edit a 60 second commercial on the Nokia N8. The catch? They had 48 hours to do it. Check out the winner’s video!

10 Future Mobile Trends

10 Future Mobile Trends

It’s 2030 and over the past 20 or so years, your mobile phone (if that’s what we still call it) has replaced your wallet, keys and computer, becoming the single most important piece of gadgetry you own.

Scary or exciting? Well, convergence is all around us and has been for a number of years, but what will the next couple of decades hold for the mobile industry. Let’s take a look…

1. Cloud

There’s been a lot of buzz about cloud computing over the years. For those of you who aren’t familiar, it offers a secure place for applications and data to be accessed from any network device, whether it’s a phone, laptop or PC. Given the situation, that means you’ll be able to access your important work documents while out of the office and in front of almost any device.

2. Flexible Screens

The ability to bend and flex your phone is a very exciting prospect – see the Nokia Morph and the Nokia 888 concept phones.

3. Projectors

It has been suggested that the integration of projectors on mobile phones may well coincide with the downtrend of laptops. How does this work? Well, with mobile phones approaching laptop-esque processing power, all that’s missing from your smartphone is a larger screen to view it on. Enter the projector…

4. 4G & 5G

We are about to see a rafter of 4G phones hit the market offering faster and more stable connections which supersede that of 3G. We may be getting ahead of ourselves a bit here but it’s predicted that by 2020 we’ll be seeing 5G!

5. NFC

Near field communication. There are some seriously cool uses of NFC for social networking. Imagine just tapping your phone on another mobile to make a mobile payment, or to share a file or business card!

6. The death of the Digital Camera & SLR’s

The experience of taking a photo on your mobile phone has changed dramatically. You just have to look at our evolution of the camera phone post to see how far we’ve come. The question is, in the ten years time, will there be the need for a low/mid-range digital camera when your phone can do just as good a job?

Then there’s the Digital SLR, a contentious point perhaps but with some of the fantastic new camera accessories available (just check our Nokia N8 macro post) will future high-power lenses be just as good on a mobile phone camera, as they are on the real thing?

7. Wireless technology

It’s not just us who can’t wait for the day when wireless technology supersedes that of the tangled wired charger. We’re definitely counting down the hours. The technology is there in the form of charging mats, but it’s not quite mass market yet.

8. Sensory focus

You touch a device, you hear the caller and you see the display – but what about smell and taste? It may sound odd but mobile technology doesn’t think so. Take the Nokia Morph concept again, which can detect specific chemical compounds in the air to tell you if something is safe to consume.

9. Location, location, location

The likes of foursquare have meant that it’s easier to see where people are at any given time (on the basis they check-in) and software like that of Nokia Find & Connect, which we featured a couple of months ago, are certainly progressing the market.

10. Green

One trends for certain, the future of mobile phones is most definitely green. Nokia are a good example of leading the way in environmentally friendly practices with 100% of packaging being fully recyclable and 26 of the top 30 green phones being Nokia!

So these are our top mobile trends, agree or disagree, we’d love to hear your thoughts

Nokia N8: Street Photography with Ari Partinen

Nokia N8: Street Photography with Ari Partinen

Street photography has really struck the imaging nation over the past couple of years – and I’m glad it has. Global imaging could really benefit from a few days of street photography. To prove my point I start my blog with this image from the beautiful Cannes in southern France. Absolutely amazing place, gorgeous weather – and one of the most boring pictures on the planet (naturally I’m exaggerating slightly but still, it´s a pretty boring picture).

The reason why I consider the image boring is that there are no people in the picture. Not even any animals in the frame, for that matter. To me it really is all the things living that make the picture. Another point is my picture isn’t unique. I actually checked this and you can go to Google image search, type in “Cannes” and you will get roughly 15 million images from Cannes and they all look better than mine. There´s really nothing in my image that sets it apart from all the other photos captured in that city – and why is that? My picture is missing people, it´s missing the life in Cannes, and because of that – it´s missing the story.

Good street photograph tells a story and it´s always one of a kind. One of my favorite shots I have taken during my travels is the picture with this young Chinese kid jumping in an alley in city of Guangzhou, China (below). It´s not technically perfect by any means, it´s not a particularly beautiful picture but it does tell a story, it tells something about life of the people in Guangzhou, and it tends to get me in a good mood when I look at the picture – and it´s definitely one of a kind as well. I checked this and you can try typing “smiling kid jumping on alley in Guangzhou” to Google. You still get 50900 hits, but none of them are anything like my picture.

So how can one get started with street photography then? After all, we are talking about photographing strangers in the street, and in Finland especially, it´s already difficult to say “hi” to strangers, let alone take a picture and smile to them.

In street photography I think the hardest part is to learn how to confront strangers on the streets. But as all things in life, street photography gets easier over time and you can practice it. Try this one super easy exercise. Next time you are taking a subway or train make eye contact with the person in front of you. When he/she looks back to you, fight your normal instincts and don´t look away, but instead give him/her a smile. I bet there´s a huge change and they will return the smile

.

Smiling is a great asset when you are out there with your camera (or in my case with your Nokia N8) taking pictures of strangers. If you are polite, considerate and remember to smile I guarantee, most of the people don´t mind you taking their picture. Who knows, you might even capture few smiles.

So, my top tips for street photography:

Aim to tell a story with each of your shots
Remember to be polite and smile
Respect people’s privacy
Street photography tends to be easier with mobile phones than big SLR’s as nobody takes a fellow taking pictures with a mobile phone too seriously

Web Development for the iPhone and iPad

Web Development for the iPhone and iPad

Web development and optimisation for the iPhone and iPad are necessary practices in today's web development industry. The iPhone operating system dominates roughly half the current worldwide Smartphone market, so for a website to be made mobile-accessible, the iPhone operating system must be given full consideration. iPhones and iPads, like all other Apple products, use the Safari browser, which can be used, with some variances, with both a desktop computer and mobile devices.

Web Development

Web development for the iPhone and iPad involves a break with conventional website design for web applications optimised specifically for the mobile medium. Often a complementary web app will need to be designed in addition to a more extensive website. Web apps can also be made as promotional and educational tool, such as a game-like diamond grading app made to promote a particular diamond dealer.

Web development for the specific iPhone operating system involves cutting down and excluding unnecessary elements of an existing website. Often making preliminary sketches on paper for the layout of a web app can prove useful for working with reduced space constraints. This prevents the website development from becoming over complicated and unworkable on the iPhone or iPad. Design of the web app must be made with the end-user in mind. The way mobile devices are used in people's everyday lives must be a considered factor in the development, as usage differs greatly from the traditional desktop computer.

Web development for the iPhone and iPad requires specific understanding of how the Safari browser works, to produce code that is optimised for the medium. Knowledge is also needed, however, of the differences between the iPhone and iPad, as there are some subtle variances between the way each work. While modern code such as HTML5 and CSS3 can be used successfully, there are many unique development aspects to be mastered before developing the web app.

Web Development

Testing a web development for the iPhone and iPad can be more complex than for a web browser. There are systems; however that simulate the iPhone operating system to enable effective testing. There are also testing tools that broadcast a website development in the making to an iPhone or iPad to visualise the web app and get all sizing and visual considerations just right.

Designing web apps for the iPhone and iPad can be an exciting way for someone in the web development industry to express their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit through a relatively new web medium.

Why It Makes Sense to Outsource Web Development and Hire PHP Developers

Why It Makes Sense to Outsource Web Development and Hire PHP Developers

PHP, a server side scripting used for generating dynamic web pages, has found favor with the vast majority of developers and programmers because it is fast, economical, dependable and secure. As PHP codes can be implanted effortlessly to the other scripting languages like HTML and XHTML, it is very effective. Programmers building software solutions for social networking, ecommerce and shopping cart, use PHP a lot. You can do a lot worse than outsourcing your project to an offshore firm that can provide good applications and build good websites at lesser cost.

Let's take a look at the options you have when using PHP. You can train your own programmers and then use their skills to create a website or develop related applications. This approach has one huge advantage: you can get exactly what you want by maintaining close contact with the developers. But it also costs a lot in time and energy. You can also outsource your PHP development work. This can drastically reduce your spending, but you cannot be really sure of what you are getting. You can also hire PHP developer from a company that offers such flexible services.

You can outsource your work to a freelancer, but only if you are a hundred percent sure of his credentials. You don't want sloppy work, and more importantly, you do not want to give away your money to someone who might suddenly disappear. Another alternative is giving the project to a reputed IT company that has experience with the kind of project you are offering. But such a company may charge a lot and after the initial discussions you might not have much say in how the project evolves.

But, if you choose the other option: hire PHP developer from an IT company. By choosing this alternative you can ensure the quality and timely completion of the project and, at the same time, save money. This option brings to the table the two best things about PHP web development and applications: high-quality output and economical rates.

Good software development companies that provide this option adopt systems that ensure customized solutions for your needs. For instance, lack of communication between the client and the developer can be a major issue. But good companies let you keep in touch with your PHP developer through chat, mail and phone. They also give you a detailed daily, weekly or monthly report, detailing the progress of your project.

Also, when you hire PHP developer from a repute company, the developer is contracted to you and works exclusively on your project. You are also allowed to increase or decrease the number of employees on your project, if the project requirements are dynamic. As these PHP programmers deliver high-quality work for a lot less than the ones in your country, you can save a lot of money. You also have a legally binding contract with the company that provides the PHP programmers, and this ensures that nothing goes wrong with your project.

iPhone Vs Android Development - A Comparison

iPhone Vs Android Development - A Comparison

iPhone and Android... both of them are the most sought after smartphones of the generation. With these two smartphones, life is getting easier and smoother. However, for a developer, application development for these two smartphones is definitely a treat, since he can address a global audience with the apps. The comparison between Android and iPhone application development is as cited below :

Programming language: iPhone app development language is Objective-C, which is a programming language based on C with some extensions on object-oriented versions such as interfaces, dynamic typing, classes, inheritance, messages and many more. On the other hand, android application development is based on Java. Many developers opine that Java is a no-brainer programming tool. For this reason, if you are a developer, who loves coding, iPhone application development might excite you more than android development.
Platform comparison: With iPhone, finding functionalities is very difficult, while the case is quite opposite with android. iPhone application is quite closed, while android development is based on open source. To download the iPhone source code, you might need to resort to Google, but downloading android source code is easier and faster. In other words, android platform classes are predictable and consistent in terms of layout. For this reason, beginner development choice should be android rather than iPhone development.
Programming model comparison between iPhone and Android application development: iPhone programming model is based on MVC design pattern. With this tool, building a User Interface is easier, since all the codes are orderly placed in the source code. On the other hand, the later supports multiple processes. Thus, a little complicated. However, both these platforms provide declaration of user preferences in XML. Android's XML pattern allows integrate custom user interface components. While with iPhone, it is an extensive job.
Resources comparison between the two platforms: There are numerous resources for iPhone developers. There are videos, so that the developers can watch them carefully and employ them. On the other hand, android offers SDK with a proper guidance of API preferences. Many developers would say that android resources are more organized and suitable for all developers. Moreover, there is no clear and accurate NDA policy of Apple in terms of open source.
Tooling comparison: In this section, both are almost the same. There are not many differences between their tooling systems in both these platforms. Tooling interface includes debugger, profiler, IDE, User Interface, and builder.

From the aforementioned discussion, it is clear that both iPhone and Android application development have some advantages as well as disadvantages. It depends on the developers and his wants and needs which platform he or she will choose. The pros and cons are there to help you.

Developed applications can be downloaded by an end user is using different mobile platforms for software distribution on the market or it can also be obtained in the application stores. These applications can also be found in applications pre-installed on mobile devices.

The concept of developing an application based on technology has changed how we communicate with each other. This technology is extremely improving and promoting the number of different applications developed to support mobile devices. Any application, whether simple or complex, contributes in some way or another to the end user. As the mobile phone has become imperative for all demand the same rapid growth. The market is now exploding daily with different devices with the latest smart phone applications development. It allows users many advantages as a user can access his mail, chat with friends online. In addition, users can also send and receive data will feed more people to use applications anywhere anytime without limit or time limit.

1. Business Case: If you have an idea that could turn into a good mobile application, you should first consider if another application is the same / similar idea already exists. Find out how you separate the ideas and improvise. To find out if there is a need to develop an implementation plan. Furthermore, as information validating your concept, evaluate, develop, the question is a good fit with company strategy, direction, and if you can return to investment in developing countries that request.

2. Audience: Whether you are developing their own internal affairs using the application, the use of other companies or be used by individual consumers, you should have a good understanding of who your target. This helps to make decisions on the application of design and technology. If you go to a global audience, you can also consider the mobile application multilingual.

3. Choice of technology: Through mobile client applications, you can develop a single application that can run on all mobile platforms. Each mobile platform is different and unique work being developed in specific technologies. So if you develop an application for the iphone, cannot run the same application on Android Application Development, Blackberry application Development, Windows Mobile or platforms. It is therefore important that before beginning the development of applications, select an appropriate platform for mobile application. If your plan includes the development of applications for multiple mobile platforms, make sure you correctly your application architecture to reduce development efforts and the initial and ongoing costs. More importantly, if you really need to develop a mobile client application that are specific to a platform or a mobile web application web that are more universal and can work on all smart phones.

Android App Development - the Most Happening Industry in Today's IT World

Android App Development - the Most Happening Industry in Today's IT World

The open source, cross-browser and cross-platform technology Android has encouraged Android app development in such a way that Android developers are now the much-sought after professionals in the realm of information and technology. It is being observed that Android phone market is growing leaps and bounds at about 32% rate as is evident from the huge sales of MotoBLUR, Motorola Droid, and some HTC models. A software development company prefers to offer Android-centric applications is because of its open source and flexible nature. Along with the IT companies, users too are attracted towards this flexible platform because of following reasons:

(1) It allows to send and receive data across varied mobile networks with the help of Bluetooth, EDGE, GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, UMTS and EV-DO technologies
(2) Easy data storage with the help of SQLite
(3) IPC (Interprocess communication) message passing
(4) Exporting and signing an app for publishing
(5) Android app development using the features of touchscreen, video camera, accelerometer, magnetometer and GPS
(6) For 3D and 2D graphics, availability of all-inclusive libraries
(7) Google Talk usage for Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking
(8) Libraries with an extensive range for video, audio and image files

Now, talking about the business perspective, any software development company finds it cost-effective to work on Android app development. The reasons: it is an open source technology and therefore companies are not required to pay for costly tools to develop applications. Hence, companies need to invest only in: hiring expert and skilled Android app developers, proper infrastructure to develop and test Android App development and if the companies are using third party app stores for distribution, then they need to pay royalty fees. However, it is its being sans royalty and license that makes it popular for the IT companies. Also, apart from selling the applications through third party stores, Android developers can set up an exclusive network with which sales of Android centric applications can be promoted. And the promotion is quite easy because it is not a monopoly market that is in the control of a few. It is an open market and makes it easier to cash in on the applications when they are ready for the sale. Another feature of Android app development is its seamless integration and cross promotion of various applications. This helps a lot when a software company needs to develop a network between varied applications.

Apart from all these major features, Android app development can also be benefited by the rich set of C/C++ libraries used by various components of the Android system. The developers can access these libraries through Android application framework. Following are some major libraries that help Android developers build unique applications:

These capabilities are exposed to developers through the Android application framework. Some of the core libraries are:

(1) System C library
(2) Media Libraries
(3) Surface Manager
(4) LibWebCore
(5) SGL is consisted of 2D graphics engine
(6) 3D libraries is based on OpenGL ES 1.0 APIs; the libraries use either hardware 3D acceleration (where available) or, highly optimized 3D software rasterizer
(7) FreeType includes bitmap and vector font rendering
(8) SQLite is a powerful and lightweight relational database engine available to all applications

Android Application Developer - A Whole New World of Possibilities

Android Application Developer - A Whole New World of Possibilities

Google's Android operating system has taken the world of mobile application development by storm, for quite some time now. Granted, there are still less number of apps available for the platform compared to the other platforms like iPhone, Blackberry and Symbian but this is for sure that Google's Android has already started spreading its tendrils to other handsets. On its recent earnings call, T-Mobile announced that it has sold its one millionth G1 phone based on the Android open-source operating system, meaning it took Google just six months to do this. This by all means is an impressive feat considering the incredible anticipation and fervor for the iPhone.

Android apps cost a good amount each, and hence can be used to rake in a steady stream of income over time. Here are the advantages that I foresee for building an Android application vis a vis other platforms:

1. Android OS Roils SmartPhone Market: Android Mobile Operating system was introduced a year back and could hardly give a competition to Apple iPhone but with the recent slew of new Android based devices the growth has been phenomenal with a phenomenal 15 point jump in just 3 months.

2. Huge developer community support: The Android platform is open to all, and as such there is a dedicated community of developers actively working on this platform. If there are any troubles that the developers run into during the development phase, there will always be help at hand. Besides, if there are any bugs, community members will also offer help during testing phase. This will make sure that your apps are stable and bug free when those are released.

3. Ease of Development and Porting: By default, Android is configured to auto-scale everything in most cases, however if layouts are specified with exact pixel values rather than the other suggested options the developers can easily make the necessary changes with the help of published content. The support for porting legacy applications to add support for larger or smaller screens is rather much simpler in case of Android. Sometimes it might be as simple as adding the following into their AndroidManifest.xml

4. Stable platform: Owing to its Linux core, the Android operating system from Google exhibits rock solid stability and resists crashes. As such, the apps developed on this platform exhibit the same characteristic, resulting in rock solid stability, resistance to anomalies in the system.

5. Many sales options: The Android apps can be sold in a variety of ways. There is the Android App Market, which the majority of users access in order to purchase and download Android apps. Secondly, there are third party stores that just about anyone can use to sell their apps. Even you can set up your own store to sell the apps, which is a huge plus, considering many other popular platforms force you to sell apps from their stores only.

6. Excellent ROI: The Android apps cost quite a good amount to download; hence you can be assured of getting excellent returns over your investment. All you have to do is find a good Android application developer for getting your apps built, and upload it in a store that is offering good commissions over sales.

As Android's growth continues to explode since the release of the Droid, one developer, in fact, wrote that his app, which was showing modest, double-digit daily sales late last year, now reports that his app is making $13,000 a month.

But in order to net a steady stream of income it is important to partner with a well reputed organization with an established record of delivering robust mobile applications and someone who can contribute not just from technology perspective but also add value by engaging in providing suggestions for future enhancements of the product.
