Amatory Application 
Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 10:26 AM - iPhone


It’s common knowledge that everyone’s genetic DNA is different, so too is everyone’s ‘dating DNA,. “Whether you’re spontaneously looking for singles in the same coffee shop as you, or planning a trip across the globe, Dating DNA’s Match Radar uses your unique ‘dating DNA’ to help you meet and communicate with hundreds of compatible singles worldwide or right next door.” said Kevin Carmony, CEO and Founder of Dating DNA.

Dating DNA introduced the first-ever dating application for the iPhone back in November of last year, and today announced Dating DNA Plus, a completely new application with dozens of positive changes, including their “Match Radar” technology. As an iPhone user moves about, Dating DNA’s Match Radar monitors the user’s location and notifies them of other singles in their immediate vicinity who meet a set of dating criteria.

Dating DNA users may set criteria in dozens of categories, including race, age, education, physical attributes, religion, financial stability, and many more. For example, a user could ask to be notified anytime someone is within a 1/2 mile of them, who is single, between the ages of 23 to 28, doesn’t smoke, has a college degree, is at least 6′ tall, has an athletic build, brown eyes, owns a home, has an upper-middle income, works in the medical field, and is Catholic.

Every Dating DNA user completes an extensive survey, covering over 300 points of compatibility. This information is then synthesized down and used by Dating DNA’s Match Radar to instantly create Compatibility Scores with others nearby. Users also set a “Compatibility Threshold,” which specifies the compatibility level required to be considered a “Match.” To protect a user’s privacy, they remain “invisible” to other’s Match Radar unless that user meets their Compatibility Threshold. When users are notified of a Match, both users may choose to communicate via Dating DNA’s built-in messaging system, further protecting their privacy by not requiring users to share names, phone numbers or email addresses.

An Android Era 
Saturday, April 25, 2009, 03:58 AM - Technology


Making millions has never been easier than this! One good idea, a perfect planning and exquisite execution bound to trigger success. As they say ‘Thinking is Hard work’. Dexterous thinking leads one to unimaginable altitudes. Cultivating imaginative ideas to help bring smile on the faces can definitely assure you physical as well as psychological prosperity. Android is the new kid on the horizon. It’s booming. Remember, one has to grab the opportunity upfront rather than catching up with the same, later on.

Open source code is the buzzword for people in IT world. It means a lot to this connoisseur’s guild. We have witnessed quite a few innovations in general and communication industry in particular that have done wonders to our lives. Android technology is knocking the door of opportunities. This technology is the future of technology! It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries. From a developer perspective, its strong openness makes it extremely interesting. On Android, "Apps are created equal" and you don't need to sign an application to deploy it.

There are still only two phones based on the open-source operating system: the HTC Dream -- also known as the T-Mobile G1 -- and Vodafone's HTC Magic. But don’t you realistically think about others to follow suit? I emphatically believe that the race has just begun and the money involved in the game would be tremendous.

Samsung has said it will launch three Android phones this year. Google just announced on 14th of April that It is about to announce the Smartphone platform version 1.5. The Version 1.5 of the smartphone platform will include support for soft keyboards (including ones from third parties), live folders and speech recognition. Just imagine! How huge the market is going to be! It is definitely going to rock. People who have invested effort, time and money into this upcoming technology are bound to make their fortunes within a very short span of time.

All of us live in an age where a technology becomes obsolete in no time! Technology has made our lives increasingly easier. But with applications on iPhone and Android platforms, it will get much easier for sure. People having knack of the technology will tap the opportunity and make millions.

An Inimitable Instrument…….iPhone 
Wednesday, April 22, 2009, 12:42 AM - iPhone


Lots of talks are doing rounds about the upsurge of mobile market, especially the iPhone market. It was dusk of June 29th. The year was 2008. A new phone was to be launched in an already flooded phone market. The world was watching. Hype was created a lot before the launch. Competitors were all too concerned and were watching the developments with rapt attention. It was 6:00 PM, and here happened the unprecedented, unfathomable phenomena in the history of mobile sales. Let us dive deeper.

Apple said they’d like to sell 10-million (10,000,000!!!!) iPhones by the end of 2008; remember this number is roughly one-percent of the cell phone market. Some skeptics laughed at the idea. On the other end of spectrum, there was a section of people who were optimistic to sell double or triple the number.

Such optimism was not misplaced. Since people have seen Mr. Steve Jobs performing exceptionally well over a considerable length of time with his other products in the same segment. Apple iPhone users report the highest overall satisfaction scores among major Smartphone manufacturers. So much so that even 33% of females have caressed for this fascinating instrument.

One of sources from Cingular (Now AT&T), the iPhone’s preferred cell phone carrier had said each retail store would have about 200 iPhones to sell on opening night. Remember it was June 29th, & the countdown began after 6:00 PM.

Assume that to be true. There’s about 1,850 AT&T retail stores, and about 150 Apple Stores in the US, so, around 2,000 outlets total. That makes for an opening night sale of about 400,000 iPhones. Nielsen Mobile estimates that there are 2.3 million US mobile subscribers using an iPhone.

Has any cell phone carrier ever sold that many phones in a day? Like it or don’t, that’s around staggering $200-million in sales, NOT including the AT&T service contract, which, at a meager $50 a month, could add another $1,200 total revenue per iPhone sold. That’s almost another $500-million in sales.
By any cell phone or cell phone carrier’s historical numbers, and by most standards, those are history making numbers. That’s for the first night, not the rest of the year.

It would be highly fool of us if we stay oblivious to the happenings in this sector of economy. We have to watch carefully each and every thing that deals with iPhone and its ancillary products. Lets gear up!

Grab it with Both hands 
Tuesday, April 14, 2009, 01:03 AM - iPhone


We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons. It means we are misallocating the precious resources at our disposal. Right things, if not done at right times might not end up being as fruitful as someone contemplated it to be. One such technology is mobile technology. Mobile communication is growing in leaps and bounds regardless of system of governance. Only last year 1.7 billion people consumed premium data services and content on mobile.

The average response time for an email is 24 hours but for an SMS text message is 5 minutes. This is the single biggest technology advantage that the Obama campaign had over McCain for example in the 2008 elections.

In Japan, all websites are formatted for small screen access. The vast majority of email use in Japan is mobile phone based email (similar to a Blackberry experience). The funny thing is, if you ask a Japanese average consumer. if they would like to use email on a PC, they will look at you with mild amazement, and say that they weren't aware that you could do email also on a PC (and they may ask a follow-up, why would they want to, why would a PC based email be better than what they already have on their phone.

Switzerland based Rinspeed is a car maker whose owners must be big Bond fans. They earlier released a car that could not only float like a boat (many cars have done that) but was also able to dive - like Bond's Lotus Esprite (also seen in Spy Who Loved Me). This is called imaginative manufacturing.

76% of the mobile phone users who are active users of SMS text messaging - 3 billion people on the planet already are active users of SMS text messaging, Think! that is 2.5 times bigger number than the total number of email users.

Here is another example. In 1997 Bond drove a big BMW that had the remote control drive ability, via an Ericsson Smartphone. Now we are a little over a decade after that point, and there is a prototype car that is entirely controlled by a Smartphone. Can you believe it? For people in 1997, it was a fantasy. While the iPhone with the Rinspeed needs to be plugged in, this is also no big jump to turn that into Bluetooth capable and offer the driver the chance to do remote control things with his car too. Now it is only a matter of time.

Most of the times we hold ourselves back due to criticism by others, but we could all take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. If it did then there would be no season at all, at any time!!!!

It’s a child’s play…Yes I Mean it…….. 
Thursday, April 9, 2009, 12:38 AM - iPhone


A child earns in a month more than an average American think to earn in a year. Sir Issac Newton used to say ‘Catch ‘em Young’. The distinguished person of his stature was a visionary. Today we cannot agree more with him. We have seen prodigies performing like professionals. In fact some of the technologies are made keeping these kids on top of the mind. But naturally, Apple- the Leader- never lags behind.

While most children of his age play or watch football, or indulge in video gaming or sketch on paper with crayons, here was a nine-year old Lim Ding Wen from Singapore. He had a canvas but a radically different one from his friends’. It is his iPhone.

Lim, who is in fourth grade, writes applications for Apple's popular iPhone. It’s a credit to both the kid and Apple. His latest, a painting program called Doodle Kids, has been downloaded over 4,000 times from Apple's iTunes store in two weeks, the New Paper reported.
The program that this prodigy has designed lets iPhone users draw with their fingers!!! It’s fun, isn’t it? Just by touching the iPhone's touchscreen and then clear the screen by shaking the phone! Can you believe this?

When asked what prompted him the most. "I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw," Lim said. His sisters are aged 3 and 5. It shows his smartness to use his skills for leveraging market as well.

As they say ‘dictionary is the only place where success comes before work’. Lim learnt as many as six programming languages at an age of his. Lim started using the computer at the age of 2. He has since successfully completed about 20 programming projects of various scales.

His father happens to be one of the who’s who of iPhone application. His father, Lim Thye Chean, a chief technology officer at a local technology firm, also writes iPhone applications.

"Every evening we check the statistics emailed to us (by iTunes) to see who has more downloads," the older Lim said.

The boy, who enjoys reading books on programing, is in the process of writing another iPhone application -- a science fiction game called "Invader Wars."

It is not that geniuses are born in fact geniuses are made!!!!!!
