Charlie a man of integrity at work got laid off last month. Understandably it was not easy for him and his family to undergo such a situation. He is the only bread earner in the family. But it’s a kind of blessing in disguise for him, to tell more appropriately, he turned this calamity in to opportunity. He made up his mind to study the various upcoming trends of the market and decided to cultivate the aptitude for the same.

He came across various prospective technologies. But being a computer professional he liked the mobile communication the most. He envisions making fortune out of the upcoming android technology of google. Google being the leader in search engine is all set to rock the market in very near future.

The new Android 1.5 SDK should help Google boost the 'wow' factor for next-generation handsets from HTC, LG Electronics, Motorola and Samsung, among others. The expectations for the T-Mobile G1 from HTC were high because it was the first Android phone, but the results weren’t so high compared to the set expectations.

The new Android 1.5 includes the open-source WebKit browser and SquirrelFish JavaScript engines as well. Among other things, upgrading will allow users to copy and paste Web content as well as search within a page. This feature is definitely going to be the big factor.

Android aficionados also will like that the on-screen keyboard featured in the new SDK will work in both the portrait and landscape modes! You will not deprive yourself of third party features. Also on tap are support for the user installation of soft keyboards from third parties and accelerometer-based application rotations.

On the telephone side, Android 1.5 shows the user's picture to favorite contacts, displays a date/time stamp for specific events in the call log, and provides one-touch access to a contact card from any call-log event. Stereo Bluetooth headsets are also now supported.

Just like icing on the cake, Android 1.5 users will be able to view the current status of their Google Talk friends from within the platform's contacts, SMS, MMS, Gmail and e-mail applications. Additionally, Android 1.5 enables videos to be delivered directly to YouTube or photos to be uploaded directly onto the Picasa Web site.

Charlie has decided to be a successful developer in Android technology for the simple reason that it is the platform people will be going after in the time to come. Let us not get caught napped!

Can a lay-off ever be auspicious or lucky for that matter? Common sense says NO. But with right application of mind (and MOBILE!!!!) you could make the blessing out of disguise. We have seen one too many success stories of the people who turned the tide in their favor by materializing the idea that had visited their minds. Let’s never put down our arms and rise to the occasion and don’t miss out on the opportunity to be a millionaire!

Warren Buffet says ‘you only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong’. Especially so, in the time of recession, we are left with two choices i.e. either to sit idly dong nothing or to fight it out with dogged determination, unflinching spirit and no-nonsense approach.

We have to invest our hard earned money and resources in to a business which augurs well for future. Let’s look at a number that speaks volume of the highly promising business. UK Sleep Council reports in 2008 that 25% of British couples sleep apart at least part of the time because of a partner is busy using mobile by messaging in bed. Can you see the opportunity therein? Why not to avail it when it is there?

We don’t need to reinvent the wheel to make money because the path is already laid down. All we need to do is to surge on the path with due diligence.
The path I just mentioned is, of Android application development. All have heard of iPhone applications but this-the android platform- is going to shoot through the roofs. It’ll break the records of all sorts because of its open source code and excellent UI. Most of the mobile instrument makers have decided to take advantage of these features. This is the high time to read the undercurrents of the prevailing market situation and make the call to meet success. Currently there are 415 paid apps in Android technology.

Mobile industry is, without an iota of doubt, the industry where tremendous untapped opportunity lies. All that has been done so far is just like to collect shells on the seashore. Real pearls are yet to be found. No doubt it requires the brave and fearless heart of lion along with non apprehensive mind.

One is not required to be a rocket scientist to estimate the growth of an industry that has done so well in such a small span of time. Mobile device is something we glance at every eleventh minute. It is the first thing we look at as we wake up in the morning and it is the last thing that we look at before we tuck ourselves into bed. Regardless of the place, we carry it everywhere e.g. bathroom, conference room, or bedroom for that matter.

This is the time of credit crunch and recession wherein most people are feeling the heat of the economy. What smart people would do is to make this section smile. Try to instill hope and confidence in the people who have domestic and financial problems.

Let’s move from the money to the people. How many have mobile? Ten years ago, wherever you went on the planet, even in the most advanced markets, the mobile phone was only an executive toy. In most advanced industrialized countries like Germany, UK and the USA, mobile phones were toys for the boys, status symbols, expensive accessories for the young and up-coming business types. People who pretended to be important would show it off.

Ten years ago, there was a mobile phone subscription for 5 percent of total populace. Today there are 3.95 billion mobile phone subscriptions (let’s call it an even 4 billion, we'll be at 4 billion in January). That means there is a mobile phone subscription for more than 55% of the population on the planet. Let’s give comparative numbers. There are 800 million cable/satellite TV subscriptions. There are 850 million cars. There are 950 million personal computers (laptops and desktops combined). About 1.2 billion fixed landline phones. About 1.2 people use email. 1.3 billion is the total number of internet users. All television sets on the planet number 1.4 billion and credit cards, there are about 1.5 billion unique holders of a credit card. (Source: - Tomy Ahonen)

Mobile phones work by sending and receiving wireless radio signals. The handsets that people carry with them communicate with each other via base stations that are interconnected by way of switching centers. Base stations are located every few kilometers throughout the country, and mobile phones can be used just about anywhere that has a sizable population. What people think of nowadays when they hear the words mobile phone appeared in the 1990s. Portable phone services that could be used by individuals, however, actually began more than 10 years earlier. The car phone appeared in 1979, and in 1985 NTT released the "shoulder phone," which could be carried freely by a user.

The shoulder phone, however, weighed 7 pounds and was large and had limited connectivity. Mobile phones really began to take off in 1991, when NTT released very light models that weighed only about half a pound. This is what is now known as the first generation of mobile phones.

In 1993, what were called second-generation mobile phones hit the market. In comparison with first-generation phones, new models offered much clearer sound quality, and the problem of having the signal cut off when many users congregated in one area was overcome. The mainstream mobile phones of today, which have been referred to as generation 2.5, provide a variety of useful functions, such as allowing users to send and receive e-mail and access the Internet.

At the dawn of 1990s, Sony Corp. developed lithium-ion batteries that were light, thin, and capable of storing a large amount of power, and other major makers rushed to keep pace. As these new powerful batteries became commonly used, mobile phones became small and light enough that a user could comfortably fit one in his or her pocket. (www.web-japan.org)

These days, more and more home appliances are becoming digitized. It may soon become possible for people to program their VCRs while away from home (!!!) and to set their air conditioners to switch on shortly before they return! Many people believe that mobile phones will eventually become a sort of all-purpose remote control.

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.

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.
