  appMobi Dev Tools for High-Engagement Mobile Apps and Ads

  iphone, Mobile phone news, Phone news No Comments

  Cross-platform framework includes support for HTML5, live video cloud services.

  At the ad:tech conference, FlyCast announced the public beta release of its appMobi native mobile development ecosystem, a set of tools and cloud-based services that allow the creation and deployment of highly engaging smartphone and tablet apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. For the first time, ad agencies and web developers can create native mobile apps and ads using tools they work with every day – HTML and JavaScript.

  Originally created to make cross-platform versions of FlyCast’s popular streaming media applications, the appMobi
  ecosystem offers “write once – deploy everywhere” capability, currently supporting both Apple and Android
  platforms. Unlike other cross-platform tools that only support the creation of an app, appMobi’s “ecosystem”
  delivers value after deployment, with pay-as-you-go advertising, analytics, payments, streaming media content
  from FlyCast’s content partners, and scalable cloud-based video and audio media streaming services. Because appMobi development is done in HTML with CSS, anything that can be designed for the web can be deployed as an app; appMobi uses no templates or “cookie cutter” forms.

  The appMobi ecosystem also supports cross-platform trafficking of HTML5-compliant interactive advertising to
  native apps. Interactive ads created using appMobi can be delivered across iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets with no modification needed. Apps and ads created with the appMobi ecosystem are full-speed native applications and fully comply with all Apple SDK 4.0 restrictions.

  Development with the appMobi ecosystem is free. FlyCast invites interested publishers, agencies and developers to
  sign up for a free account at its website (http://www.appmobi.com).

  About appMobi

  Created by FlyCast, appMobi is a cross-platform native app development and deployment ecosystem for smartphones and tablets. It allows any web developer with JavaScript experience to create and deliver mobile applications using
  only standard HTML tools. appMobi offers the ability to “develop once” and deploy to a variety of popular operating
  systems, including iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone 7 (3Q 2010). For more information, visit http://www.appmobi.com.

  About FlyCast

  FlyCast was among the first to deliver streamed entertainment to the iPhone platform shortly after its inception, and continues to lead the way as a top ten application on multiple smartphone platforms, delivering over 2000 channels of entertainment to millions of users worldwide. FlyCast’s unique delivery architecture has been created to serve the needs of both consumers and content owners. Today’s announcement represents the first public disclosure of FlyCast’s new mobile content development and distribution technology. For more information, visit http://www.flycast.fm.

  Phone services No Comments

  New content from Qype with community based recommendations helps everyone make the most of their time

  Ovi Maps, the free walk and drive navigation service from Nokia, announced new partnerships that deliver more relevant information on more points of interest making travelling easier than ever. With summer holidays fast approaching, the updated Ovi Maps gives travelers and locals alike the ability to find the most interesting places and sites in the area making traveling less about getting from A to B and more about enjoying everything in between.

  Ovi delivers unique mobile experiences that mix content with the best location, social networking and connectivity services and is the go to-place for discovering, sharing and enjoying lifestyle content and entertainment, all from a Nokia smartphone.  

  New partnership with Qype delivers community based recommendations
  Ovi Maps now includes Qype, Europe’s biggest portal for local community-based reviews, helping people find new places wherever they are, leaving nothing overlooked.

  Initially offering information on more than 20,000 cities, the Qype community enriches Ovi Maps with hundreds of thousands of reviews and recommendations from locals and travelers on  many European hotspots like cafés, shops, spas and hotels, giving the inside track before arriving. And, with a new post added to Qype every 40 seconds, people are assured to have the latest information to help them make the best choices no matter what they are looking for.

  Four new Nokia Cseries mobile phones

  Mobile phone news, Nokia Mobiles, Phone news No Comments
  Four new Nokia Cseries mobile phones add affordable ways to connect

  Starting at EUR 30 with ’2-in-1′ double-SIM solution; full dual-SIM Nokia C2 to follow at the end of the fourth quarter

  Nairobi, Kenya – At a media conference held today in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, Nokia unveiled its latest Cseries mobile phones with three new products under the Nokia C1 name, as well as the new dual-SIM Nokia C2 which will follow at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010.  At the same event, Nokia also took the wraps off the Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit, an alternative charging solution built especially for people with limited access to electricity.

  The most affordable of the Nokia C1 trio (C1-00) is priced at EUR 30 before taxes and subsidies and is the first Nokia mobile phone to feature a 2-in-1 double SIM solution. “By simply holding down a key, people are able to switch between SIM cards. This enables them to take advantage of reduced call rates, flexibility when traveling from one country to another, or helps with sharing a phone within a family and still use their own SIM,” said Alex Lambeek, Vice President at Nokia. “This is a great added convenience feature considering the low price of the phone.”

  Nokia C1-00

  Nokia C1 owners will also benefit from a standby battery time of up to six weeks, the longest ever for a Nokia mobile phone, especially useful in those parts of the world where access to electricity is sometimes limited. The standard flashlight – often someone’s only means of bright light – is paired with a vivid color screen and FM radio with standard headphone jack, meaning the Nokia C1 is as much about entertainment as it is about convenience.

  The Nokia C2 features a dual SIM with dual standby capability. Along with the many capabilities of the Nokia C1, the Nokia C2 can also keep both SIM cards active; meaning calls and text messages can come to either number while the phone is on. The first SIM card on the Nokia C2 sits underneath the battery and the second is ‘hot-swappable’, a feature unique to Nokia which means it can be removed and inserted when the phone is on.

  Nokia C2-00

  Where available, the Nokia C2 also offers a wide range of information covering healthcare, agriculture, education and entertainment via Nokia’s Ovi Life Tools, as well as the email account for the developing world, Ovi Mail. In addition to Ovi Mail, people’s favorite consumer email and chat accounts can be pushed direct to the phone via Nokia Messaging. Listening to music is simple with the FM radio and music player, with a massive amount of music storage with the phone supporting micro-SD cards of up to 32GB.

  The second and third devices in the Nokia C1 family (C1-01 and C1-02) are both single SIM products, and Nokia’s most affordable devices offering microSD compatibility, enabling people to store up to 32 GB of music, photography, or whatever other media suits them. Both new devices bring very individual designs and exciting colors, bright color screens, web browsing over GPRS and access to Nokia web services such as Nokia Messaging. In addition, owners of the Nokia C1 (C1-01) will also be able to take video and photographs using the built-in VGA camera.

  Nokia C1-01	Nokia C1-02

  New alternative charging solution debuts
  Providing free and environmentally friendly electricity for mobile phones, the Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit consists of a charger and dynamo, as well as a holder to secure the phone to the bike. When the kit is installed, the dynamo – a small electrical generator – uses the movement of the wheels to charge the handset through the standard 2mm charging jack used in most Nokia mobile phones. Lambeek continued, “You must look at a number of things when it comes to power management – such as ensuring the phone’s operating system is as power-efficient as possible. Now, with our innovative bike charger, people get even more freedom to use their Nokia without worrying about battery life. Bicycles are the most widespread means of transport in many markets around the world, so this is just one more benefit to be gained from an activity people are already doing. This is a great solution to a real challenge, whether people will use it due to limited access to electricity, or to be more environmentally responsible.” The kit will be available before the end of the year in selected retailers and Nokia online and branded retail.

  The estimated retail prices of the new Nokia mobile phones, before taxes and subsidies, are:

  Nokia C1 (C1-00)	EUR 30
  Nokia C1 (C1-02)	EUR 35
  Nokia C1 (C1-01)	EUR 39
  Nokia C2 (C2-00)	EUR 45

  The Nokia C1 (C1-00) is expected to ship in the third quarter of 2010, with the Nokia C1 (C1-01) in the early fourth quarter, and the Nokia C1 (C1-02) and Nokia C2 towards the end of the fourth quarter 2010.

  New Apple iPhone and Android-Accessible Smartphone Application

  Mobile phone news, Phone news No Comments

  Village Profile(TM) Raises the Bar in Mobile Marketing by Providing Chambers a New Apple iPhone and Android-Accessible Smartphone Application.

  Innovative Chamber publisher Village Profile(TM) continues to add new mobile marketing benefits to its Convergence Publishing Program(R) with the launch of its new smartphone app component, accessible via both Apple iPhone and Android platforms.

  The Village Profile(TM) smartphone app provides the Chamber, its members and advertisers access to their community in one touch, anytime, anywhere, from their handheld iPhone and Android platform smartphone.

  Downloadable from respective app stores, the new Village Profile(TM) smartphone app is comparable to navigating through http://www.villageprofile.com, with features including the community publication cover graphic; links to editorial chapters; access to the advertiser directory, complete with reciprocal links; one-click, GPS-driven directions to any Chamber business location; as well as direct dial and direct email capabilities. The Village Profile(TM) smartphone app provides an unmatched benefit to smartphone users and participating publication advertisers, who now have expanded reach and exposure in the mobile marketplace.

  “Village Profile(TM) is the leader in Chamber convergence publishing,” said Village Profile’s Western Region Manager,
  Mark Waligorski. “With the popularity, ease and convenience of smartphone app use, to NOT take advantage of this
  technology is a disservice to our client Chambers and their members.”

  The latest endeavor is made possible through an exclusive five-year partnership with MC Solutions, a California-based
  marketing and communications company. According to Mandy Critchley, the company’s owner, “The app marketplace is booming and this new custom app allows people to have a one-touch connection with Village Profile(TM). This app will further add value of why Chambers will choose Village Profile(TM) as a publishing partner.”

  The no-cost, user-friendly Village Profile(TM) smartphone app joins the company’s advanced Convergence Publishing
  Program(R), giving users enhanced connectivity not offered anywhere else in the Chamber industry. In addition to the several thousand print copies distributed to your Chamber and community, the full-color publication is converted into a high-tech digital version. This premier program goes beyond the traditional print publication to offer: a community publication Website; a FREE downloadable NewView eBook(R); on-the-go mobile wireless access via the vpMobile.us(R) Business Directory Portal; the Mobile Map business locator program; and now the Village Profile(TM) smartphone app, featuring exclusive multi-media marketing benefits unparalleled in Chamber publishing, now available to your Chamber.

  Gone are the days of using a cellular phone to simply make a call. Mobile technology has transformed tenfold, reaching far beyond its traditional means and becoming an essential part of our everyday lives. Research shows that, by 2013, an estimated more-than-one-billion people will own and use smartphones. This advanced medium allows people to use mobile devices in a completely new way, and businesses are taking advantage of the latest additions in mobile marketing to remain competitive.

  This added smartphone app functionality enhances the already technologically advanced Village Profile(TM)Convergence Publishing Program(R) and Mobile Map Publishing Program(TM).

  These leading-edge publishing programs convert the thousands of print copies provided to sponsoring Chambers into an online version, which includes all advertisements on the printed publication.

  The wireless component of our Mobile Map Publishing Program(TM) allows visitors to pinpoint their desired destination with static versions of its community maps, wirelessly accessible at http://www.vpmobile.us via
  Web-enabled cell phones, smartphones, PDAs and most other mobile devices. The program also supplies browsers with searchable directories accessible through handheld devices.

  These directories permit users to direct-dial businesses or connect directly to Websites.

  “Among the various local content categories, the number of people accessing online directories has seen the greatest
  increase during the past year (73 percent), followed by restaurants (70 percent), maps (63 percent) and movies (60
  percent),” according to a press release from comScore, Inc.

  This can be a boon to Chambers working with Village Profile(TM). A recent article from eMarketer stated, “As a
  result of rising smartphone popularity, eMarketer projects that mobile Internet access will see significant gains over
  the next five years, with the number of mobile Internet users reaching 134 million in 2013, in effect, bringing
  visitors to individual Chamber sites and business directories.”

  eMarketer also noted in the article that, “Global economic forces are taking their toll on the mobile device market,
  but smartphones have been spared the ravages of the economic downturn.”

  The Only Plastic Surgery App for the iPad

  iPad, Phone news No Comments

  Now there’s a richly illustrated plastic surgery app written specifically for the iPad.

   An intuitive new application, developed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Denenberg, displays hundreds of before and after photos, tells you what it’s like to have surgery, and lets you contact Dr. Denenberg for a free online consultation.

  “The iPad is the next powerful communication tool,” Dr. Denenberg said. “Its gorgeous display lets us present huge
  photos, and its touch screen makes the app fun and easy to navigate.”

  Dr. Denenberg is a facial plastic surgeon trained at Harvard and Stanford. Double board certified and in practice since
  1985, Dr. Denenberg has been listed as one of America’s Top Doctors by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. every year since
  2001. He attracts an international clientele with patients from over 50 countries. Dr. Denenberg’s Web site, FacialSurgery.com, is one of the most visited plastic surgery sites on the Web, and has been recognized in Vogue
  and W magazines.

  For those who are interested, the app also shows how the operations are performed. The app contains its own
  fascinating electronic book: over 200 pages of text, diagrams, and photos taken in the operating room.

  Entitled “Facial Plastic Surgery: Before and Afters,” the app is available by searching the App Store for “Denenberg”
  or “plastic surgery,” or by going to http://www.App33.com, which contains screenshots and instructions for using the
  app, and a link to the app’s page on the iTunes store. The app also runs on the iPhone and the iPod touch.
