New York, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

According to “PC World” and other reports, iOS and Android game apps have exponentially increases salesbeating Sony and Nintendo. And with that, Apress Media, LLC is the first to market books on iOS 5 games development, using Apples newly released iOS 5 Software Development Kit (SDK).

The most striking trend is that iOS and Android games have tripled their market share from roughly 20 percent in 2009 to nearly 60 percent in just two years. Simultaneously, Nintendo, the once dominant player, has been crushed down to owning about one-third of market in 2011, from having controlled more than two-thirds in 2009,” according to Flurry analyst Peter Farago in a company blog post. What does this mean for mobile game development? Apress is meeting the demand for iOS games knowledge with four new, essential resources. These latest titles will get app developers started with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to build engaging, dynamic game apps that can be deployed and sold in Apples iTunes App Store.

Revving up the powerful engine of a police package Dodge Charger loaded with BlackBerry PlayBook and Mobile Police Assist (MPA) Software, Mobile Innovations President and founder Gary Bauer kicked off the Eastern leg of their cross-country Goin Mobile demo tour in Montreal this morning. Riding shotgun with Bauer is Colin Bennett a representative of D&R Electronics, the company who up-fit the vehicle with mounts, lights, sirens and IT to complete Mobile Innovations in-vehicle platform.

Covering over 2500 km and visiting a dozen police agencies between Montreal and Halifax, Bauer will demo his companys MPA in-vehicle PlayBook solution with emphasis on their new MPASmartHub feature, which connects in-vehicle drivers license scanner, keyboard, lights and sirens control, camera to the BlackBerry PlayBook. Capable of connecting up to 8 peripherals through multiple USB ports, the MPA for Playbook Platform turns any cruiser into a police enforcement centre on wheels for a fraction of the cost of conventional in-vehicle laptop up-fits.

Just last week, we submitted a bid to up-fit 700 police cruisers with our solution. explains Bauer. They called us back to tell us our bid was one tenth of the next bid, and to ask us if wed made a mistake. This reaction is typical. But when we point out that a PlayBook costs $ 200 while a ruggedized laptop goes for $ 5,000 or more, they begin to get the picture.

While currently focused on law enforcement agencies, Mobile Innovations tour has garnered much attention from emergency services and utilities along the way.

With our Goin Mobile tour we hope to dispel any doubts about the game-changing nature of our MPA In-Vehicle platform, and that it really is not only better, but cheaper and faster than any other solution out there, said Bauer. Not just for police, but for municipal, utility, EMS and fire departments as well.

Mobile Innovations is a privately held company dedicated to enhancing law enforcement with the most advanced mobile data products on the market. Based in Niagara Falls, Canada, Mobile Innovations also has operations in Toronto and works with over twenty agencies across Canada and in the United Kingdom. Mobile Innovations is a RIM Alliance partner with six years of service developing and deploying advanced mobile solutions for BlackBerryTM. As a world leader in mobile data for BlackBerry, we are proud to help law enforcement personnel work faster, better and safer by putting the sum total of police knowledge at their fingertips, where and when they need it most.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) October 24, 2011

[SenchaCon 2011 Developer Conference]: Sencha, the leading provider of HTML5 frameworks and tools for desktop and mobile application developers, is expanding the range of technologies it offers to include services in the cloud. Sencha.io, now available in beta preview, is the first client-centric cloud technology designed specifically for JavaScript developers. When used in conjunction with Sencha frameworks, Sencha.io lets a developer focus on building client-side application logic while leveraging cloud services to make the application come to life.

Sencha.io enables application developers to build shared experiences that all run in the browser. Developers do not need to worry about writing server code, or dealing with hosting. Using the Sencha.io service and the SDK, application developers write their applications entirely in JavaScript, and Sencha.io utilizes cloud services as necessary. Using Sencha.io, developers simply write a client-side Sencha Touch application and use the power of the cloud to make their app come alive.

To build a mobile experience that is multi-device, shared and enriched, a developer needs three things: frameworks, tools and cloud services, said Aditya Bansod, senior director of product management at Sencha. Sencha.io extends the range of technologies we offer developers, giving them a way to quickly add data, messaging and features to their apps, and to then deploy them from the cloud for smooth and reliable execution on any device. In comparison to more traditional server-side platform-as-a-service solutions, weve simply eliminated the need for server-side code.

Read more about the beta 1 release of Sencha.io on the Sencha blog.

Beta 1 of Sencha.io is available for developers at developer.sencha.io.

Sencha.io enables the creation of shared, multi-device Web experiences

The proliferation of social interaction throughout applications and websites means that the mobile Web is now an increasingly participatory experience. Developers no longer want to build applications that focus on the single user experience; instead they want to build applications that allow sharing between users, and for users to share their data between their devices. But designing and building apps that can do this, while simply managing disconnected state, multiple accounts, and synchronization is a daunting problem.

For example, even in a simple online poker game, each player needs identification (online/offline), role (sequence of play), and status (chips at hand and in play). Sencha.io dramatically simplifies the task of developing this class of Web application by providing four core services:

1. Login allows users to log in to applications using Facebook or Twitter accounts, or accounts specific to the application. Login makes it simple to retrieve user data and store information about an apps users.

2. Data Sencha.io Data makes it simple to store data in the cloud with just one line of code in a Sencha Touch application. Data is synchronized across all devices and can be shared between users. Even when a mobile device is offline, applications can still read and write data and Sencha.io Data will transparently sync when the device rejoins the network.

3. Messages easy person-to-person and system-to-system messages is a critical service for a cloud. Sencha.io Messages enables users and applications to communicate easily with each other. For example: notifying a friend its their turn to play, or moving an in progress game from your mobile phone from your desktop.

4. Deployment even client applications need to serve code; Sencha.io Deployment makes it easy for developers to deploy their applications and optimize their application images for various mobile device screen sizes. Deployment includes a management portal that allows developers to manage versions of their applications and a fully sandboxed development environment for testing and collaboration.

Now that users are constantly on the move from their desktop to mobile devices, we can provide the best app experience with Sencha.io Data and Sencha.io Deployment, said Luc Stakenborg, owner and consultant at Oxida. Using Sencha.io Deployment to deliver high- and low-resolution images, and Sencha.io Data to share user settings across devices was essentially plug and play. We didn’t need to develop a custom solution, so we were up and running in the cloud in a few hours.

Fidelithon Systems, LLC, a leader in cloud-based smartphone apps for consumer and SMBs, today announced phone tracking capabilities available on its gMelt Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. The cell phone tracking is a standard feature on gMeltPro, and provides a live, secured, web-based graphic user interface that allows the user to see the location of the device on a map, using any browser, and provides historical geographic data for up to 7 days. The app has numerous settings for location sampling rates, enabling variable GPS accuracy while managing battery consumption. Phone tracking can help find a lost device and is part of gMelts multi-faceted system, which also includes a cloud-based storage component as well as other manual and automated device data management capabilities. The gMeltPro app is available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as well as Android phones and tablets.

GPS and Wi-Fi Tracking

The app employs either Wi-Fi or the devices GPS function for tracking. Once enabled, the app and location tracking technology becomes a data collection engine which uploads the location coordinates to the gMelt system at 15 minute increments. Within those 15 minutes, users can set how many times the data is sampled, with more sampling enabling greater accuracy.

gMeltWeb Mapping

Within the systems secured web-based management interface, gMeltWeb (https://gmelt.fidelithon.com/gMelt-web/), users can see this collected data and can simultaneously track up to 100 devices with the simple click of button.

Date and time stamps and latitude and longitude readings are included in the display.

With smartphones and tablets becoming such a key part of peoples e-lives, managing the valuable data on these devices is very important, but in the event that these devices are lost or misplaced, having remediation capabilities is a good insurance policy, said Kevin Allan, Principal and Founder at Fidelithon. Our product not only deals with safe storage and management of user-generated content on the device, but unlike other companies, we also address the physical device as part of an overall MDM solution. Having this solution at this price is a tremendous value and should be included in the core set of apps on any smartphone or tablet.

The gMelt system requires an app to be installed on each mobile phone or tablet, and the app be downloaded from the respective app stores on the smart device (Apple: App Store, Android: Market). Customers can manage and upgrade their account through https://gmelt.fidelithon.com/gMelt-web/, as well as upgrade through in-app options on the device. gMelt starts at US$ 1.99 for gMeltPersonal and US$ 2.99 for gMeltPro, with cloud storage options for up to 256GB of data.

Since 2008 http://www.SIMonlycontracts.co.uk has been providing price comparisons on pay monthly SIMs so that consumers can quickly identify the right deal without having to visit each individual networks site and tediously look back and forth to compare. Although the website started out with a basic, free template design it has recently taken steps to improve usability and design as well as to accommodate the growing trend of Smartphone and tablet usage.

Roshan Bholah the Director had this to say regarding the new design:

We wanted to give users a more comprehensive way to search and compare plans across the range and so there are multiple points of entry packed with information and advice too.

“Using HTML5 and CSS Media Queries our web development team was able to tailor the site for Smartphones and tablets like the iPad and Galaxy Tab so that there is less need to pinch to zoom and text is readable from the initial load.

“The great thing about using this responsive web design based on Less Framework is only having to develop one website instead of a mobile site, desktop site, app etc. This minimised the project cost considerably.”

Less Framework is essentially a CSS grid system that has multiple layouts that adjust to the width and the screen that it is being used on and additionally using graceful degradation across old desktop and mobile browsers.

The site also uses a considerably amount of AJAX which allows for swift and seamless modifications to the search results when filtering and sorting the SIM plans.

Roshan also said, We are happy with the new design however will continue to make improvements where necessary to give our visitors an even better experience when using the site both in terms of design and customer service.

With the use of mobile devices now widespread and mobile e-commerce growing further, it is important to develop mobile friendly websites. Whether there is a separate site, app or CSS for the platform will ultimately depend on whats best for the company question but here we have an example of one that has used responsive web design as a simple yet effect method for providing a device specific experience.

About

SIM only tariffs are flexible 30 days to 12 months contracts that offer better value for money than tariffs on mobile phone contracts. You can compare plans on a variety of sites including http://www.simonlycontracts.co.uk, which provides comprehensive information on the networks and the best tariffs to buy. Using sliders, drop downs and sorting, this site makes it easy for consumers to compare and save on their monthly bills as well as bringing the latest promotions and offers to the forefront.
