SIMPLE STEP TO ANDROID GAME DEVELOPMENT

Here are the short & tricky steps to build android game. Before writing this blog post, i search simple step to creat android game? But i did not find anythings helpful for me. Now after reading all the books, i am writting the simple steps to create android game. Follow these step to build your first android game. 1. Create framework. In the framework, define all the file related to game entities such as fileIO, input, graphic, audio, sound, music, file. These are the basic game framework element. 2. Implementation of framework. In this, we need to implement the methods inside the framework, for initiating conection and call to main code. 3. Gaming operation code. All the game action code. Hope this tutorial will help you for finding the little you required. For details check my next blog. Suhan Gorya

Review of "Tegra Note 7"

Pure Nvidia, pure Android and under $200 will catch a lot of attention from Android fans

Todays breaking news is, Nvidia is no stranger to Android. Being an original partner for the Nexus 7, and Tegra processors in millions of phones and tablets have surely left a mark, and their recent offerings with the new Tegra 4 offer some screaming performance even when partnered with folks who might not have the best software installed. 

A real highlight of all this was the Shield. Designed in-house at Nvidia, the Shield is a real screamer that also gets plenty of love with the updates. Running a mostly untouched build of AOSP with all the Google applications surely helps here. The Shield never took off with consumers, and most pundits blame the odd form factor and the price.

The Tegra Note fixes both of those issues. It's a standard 7-inch tablet, that checks in just shy of $200. And it has a secret weapon — Nvidia's "active stylus" is on board, delivering an integrated pen and digitizing solution that's on par with devices costing quite a bit more.

I've been fiddling with the Tegra Note for a bit, jump through and see what I think of it.

'Redesign, polish' Google Glass name Recon Jet

'Redesign, polish' delay Recon Jet's shipping by 'a few months'

 

Google Glass

Here the bad news for folks waiting on the Recon Jet. The $500 Android-based heads-up-display — think of it in the same family of wearables as Google Glass — will miss its expected launch in December.

Recon Instruments co-founder and CEO Dan Eisenhardt in a blog post and email to those who preordered over the weekend announced that "certain aspects of the latest prototype fell short of my expectations, so some redesign will be required." Eisenhardt notes that they have "mapped a clear path to resolving each of the option issues," but "the bad news is the time necessary to execute the re-design will delay first shipments by a few months."

The Hidden Technology That Makes Twitter Successful

Secret Of Success

---

Illustration by David Parkins

 

Twitter started with a simple form and through tens of billions of repetitions became a network unto itself

Consider the tweet. It’s short—140 characters and done—but hardly simple. If you open one up and look inside, you’ll see a remarkable clockwork, with 31 publicly documented data fields. Why do these tweets, typically born of a stray impulse, need to carry all this data with them?
While a tweet thrives in its timeline, among the other tweets, it’s also designed to stand on its own, forever. Any tweet might show up embedded inside a million different websites. It may be called up and re-displayed years after posting. For all their supposed ephemerality, tweets have real staying power.
Once born, they’re alone and must find their own way to the world, like a just-hatched sea turtle crawling to the surf. Luckily they have all of the information they need in order to make it: A tweet knows the identity of its creator, whether bot or human, as well as the location from which it originated, the date and time it went out, and dozens of other little things—so that wherever it finds itself, the tweet can be reconstituted. Millennia from now an intelligence coming across a single tweet could, like an archaeologist pondering a chunk of ancient skull, deduce an entire culture.

 

Twitter’s Nov. 7 initial public offering marks the San Francisco-based company’s coming-out party, the moment when it graduates from its South of Market beginnings and takes its place as one of the Internet’s most valuable properties, without ever turning a profit. What’s perhaps most remarkable about Twitter’s rise is how little the service has evolved from the original core concept of the 140-character tweet—which is to say, not at all. It’s tempting to view tweeting as silly and trivial, and Twitter itself as overhyped and overvalued. But there’s some sophisticated, supple, and even revolutionary technology at work. Appreciating Twitter’s machinery is key to understanding how an idea so simple changed the way millions of people advertise their existences to the world.
How do you look inside a tweet? It’s easy; the structure of a tweet is a matter of public record. Twitter, as a modern Web company, reveals to the world some of the technology it uses, in the form of an application programming interface—an API—which allows external software developers to build tools on top of the service, making it more widely used and thus more valuable for everyone.
All tweets share the same anatomy. To examine the guts of a tweet, you request an “API key” from Twitter, which is a fast, automated procedure. You then visit special Web addresses that, instead of nicely formatted Web pages for humans to read, return raw data for computers to read. That data is expressed in a computer language—a smushed-up nest of brackets and characters. It’s a simplified version of JavaScript called JSON, which stands for JavaScript Object Notation. API essentially means “speaks (and reads) JSON.” The language comes in a bundle of name/value fields, 31 of which make up a tweet. For example, if a tweet has been “favorited” 25 times, the corresponding name is “favorite_count” and “25” is the value.

 

You know how the National Security Agency collects “metadata” about the phone calls Americans make? Well, that’s what these fields are, except instead of metadata about phone calls, this is metadata about tweets. In fact, those 140 characters are less than 10 percent of all the data you’ll find in a tweet object. Twitter’s metadata is publicly documented by the company, open for perusal by all and available to anyone who wants to sign up for an API key.
This metadata contains not just tidy numerals like “25” but also whole new sets of name/value pairs—big weird trees of data. A good example is in the “coordinates” part of the tweet. This value contains geographical information—latitude and longitude—in a format called GeoJSON, a dialect of JSON that’s used to describe places. This can seem complicated at first, but it’s actually awesome, because it means that simple-to-understand formats such as JSON can express some pretty complex ideas about the world. GeoJSON isn’t controlled by Twitter; it’s a published, open standard. Twitter has added another field, called “place.” Places are not just dots on a map but “specific, named locations.” They include multiple coordinates—they actually define polygons over the surface of the earth. A tweet can thus contain a very rough outline of a given nation. A few tweets can, with some digital fiddling, serve as a primitive atlas. And through some slightly complex math, they can reveal how far one tweeter is from another. Tweets also have a “created_at” field, which indicates the exact time at which they were posted.(Sources from Bloomberg)

 

Starting Nexus 5 on Nov. 14 for $449, Nexus 7 LTE also ships Nov. 20

Google's latest Nexus devices going to hit the Market

T-Mobile is set to start offering both of Google's latest devices, the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, in the coming weeks. The carrier announced today it will put the Nexus 5 up for sale starting November 14th online (November 20th in-store) for $449.99 off-contract, or at $41.99 down and $17 per month (also working out to $449.99) on a Simple Choice plan. T-Mobile isn't clear on what storage capacities or colors it will sell, and it's hard to guess based on the odd history of it selling the Nexus 4 in both colors but only in 16GB of storage.

At the same time, following up on its announcement that it will carry the Nexus 7 LTE, we now have a date from T-Mobile of November 20th when the tablet will begin shipping. In this case we're looking at $384 outright for the 32GB LTE tablet, or $0 down and $16 per month if you pair it with a plan. The tablet will also qualify for T-Mobile's new deal of offering 200MB of data per month completely free, which is a nice touch.

You can currently pre-order the Nexus 7 to be shipped at the aforementioned date, but there's still no indication that any pre-orders will be available for the nexus 5. Ready for some Nexus action on the magenta network? Hit the source links below

Disable SMS messages in Google Hangouts

You Don't want your text messages going to Google Hangouts? There's an easy way to go back to your old Messaging app

As of version 2.0, the Google Hangouts app for Android can handle SMS messages as well as regular instant messages. When you start it up for the first time you'll be asked if you want to use Hangouts for SMS or not. Tap yes and your existing messages are imported into the app, and you'll receive future SMS notifications through Hangouts instead of your preloaded SMS app. Tap "Maybe later" and you'll continue using your preloaded Messaging app.

But what if you've tried it and want out? Well, turns out there's a simple way to disable SMS in Hangouts and go back to using the built-in app.

To disable SMS in Hangouts after you've enabled it — or enable it after you've chosen not to — head to:

1. Menu (press the menu button on some phones, use the three dots in the top right corner on others)
2. Settings > SMS
3. Under "General," toggle "Turn on SMS" to enable or disable this feature.

After disabling Hangouts your built-in SMS app (usually "Messages" or "Messaging" in the app drawer) will handle text messages.

Important: If you're using a "stock" Android device like the Nexus 5, with Android 4.4 KitKat, you'll see an "SMS Enabled" button instead of the option above. Tap that to go to "Wireless & networks" menu where you can select a default SMS app — choose between Hangouts and any third-party SMS app you might have downloaded from the Play Store.

Moto X Developer Editions receive same $100 price as Moto Maker version

 

Unlocked GSM or Verizon, both still with 32GB of storage

Following up on a $100 price cut from the Moto Maker site, Motorola has cut the price of Moto X Developer Editions on its site as well. $549.99 will now get you either a GSM or Verizon-compatible version of the phone with 32GB of storage that's ready to be cracked open and played with if you choose. In either case you'll get an exclusive color scheme with a woven white back and black front, and the nice "Developer Edition" branding on the back.

It's definitely nice to see Motorola follow suit on its Developer Editions when it cut the price of the contract models, especially considering that there was no cheaper, lower storage option here. If you're still interested in picking up a Moto X Dev Edition, both models are in stock at the source links below.

Enhancing Google+ sign-in features:

Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress login options also in testing

Here, google with the end of Google Reader earlier this year, Feedly emerged as one of the major players in RSS, and since its inception it's been using Google's OAuth authentication service to sign in users. With the gradual shift towards Google+ sign-in across Google properties however, Feedly is following suit and introducing G+ sign-in. The transition will take place "this week" on the web and "later this month" through the Feedly Android and iOS apps.

The move to Google+ sign in, Feedly says, allows for easier sign-in on mobile devices and opens up more sharing possibilities, on which it promises to divulge more over the next couple of weeks.

But if Google+ isn't for you, Feedly is also testing Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress login options, with the aim of rolling them out over the next seven weeks.

hope we will wait for the features.

Easy steps to Decompile Android APK file into Java code

Now i am going to tell you, how to decompile APK file

we need following
Tools :
Download the followings first.

• Dex2jar from http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/
• JD-GUI from http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdgui
• ApkTool from http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

Using ApkTool

- to extract AndroidManifest.xml and everything in res folder(layout xml files, images, htmls used on webview etc..)

Run the following command :

1	apktool.bat d sampleApp.apk

It also extracts the .smali file of all .class files, but which is difficult to read.

You can achieve this by using zip utility like 7-zip.

Using dex2jar

- to generate .jar file from .apk file, we need JD-GUI to view the source code from this .jar.

Run the following command :

dex2jar sampleApp.apk

 

 

Decompiling .jar JD-GUI

- it decompiles the .class files (obsfucated- in case of android app, but readable original code is obtained in case of other .jar file). i.e., we get .java back from the application.

Just Run the

 

jd-gui.exe and File->Open to view java code from .jar or .class file. Now enjoy like Developer. try it,

Android Down slightly, Samsung improves its position in U.S Market.

Here the ratio provided by comScore.

 

                       

HTC and Motorola both drop market share; LG holding down 5th place

On releasing its monthly report on the U.S. mobile industry, comScore shows Android with a slight decrease in market share as of September 2013. A three-month average ending in September shows Android with 51.8 percent of the U.S. market, down 0.2 percentage-points. Apple naturally holds the second spot at 40.6 percent, with BlackBerry and Microsoft taking up third and fourth place.
In terms of manufacturers (chart shown below), comScore shows Apple still on top with that same 40.6 percent of the market, up 0.7 percent, with Samsung holding second place strong with 24.9 percent of the market, up 1.2 percent. HTC holds onto third place just barely at 7.1 percent, down 1.4 percent between periods. Motorola drops to 6.8 percent market share, and LG 6.6 percent. If you're counting that also leaves 14 percent divvied up among various other small manufacturers.

New Era of Operating system: Features Windows, I OS, Android

Even for old days, we used moto, nokia, and wired connection but now its not about company or name. Its all about Windows, I os, & everyone's Android. Previously we bought mobile with brand name such as Nokia, vodafone etc, but today we buy smartphone's having Android Windows, I OS operating system. Its shows that where in 2004 nokia hold 85% of world market, now covers only 32% devices & in these maximum devices are old. Currently around 70% devices running on android OS. Like old saying " there is always a new tomorrow". So till wait for another steps by Windows, IOS, Android or new linux? Suhan Gorya

Best Buy lists 'Sprint' Nexus 5 for $449 off-contract

• 

Pricing mirrors what Sprint is charging for the phone directly 

Best Buy's online store has started listing a "Sprint" Nexus 5, mirroring the same on- and off-contractpricing as the carrier's own store. We're looking at a $149.99 price for signing a new agreement, and $449.99 for the phone with no strings attached. All indications are that this is the exact same "D820" model as listed in the Play Store, which we would expect.

Many of us probably could have guessed that Best Buy was going to jack up the price a bit more, so it's good to see only a $100 premium placed on the phone outside of Google Play. Taking into account that you'll pay about $15 for shipping from the Play Store, it's not too terrible of a deal to pay $85 extra to have it right away — and with Google's own stock dwindling, you may have a better shot at picking one up from Best Buy.

The device is currently listed in both black and white in 16GB capacity on the site, and still has a "Pre-Order" button at this point. We can likely expect it to actually go on sale on November 8th, the same date Sprint is set to sell them.

Now Jelly Bean on more than half of active Android devices: Features

 

We’ve got a new version of Android now available — and a new round of platform version numbers to go along with it. As you’d expect, there are no Android 4.4 KitKat numbers for the week leading into Nov. 1 — and remember that Android 4.4 being “available” as downloadable code is different than actually being on devices — so we’ll have to wait a little bit for it to show results.

But for now, Android 4.1-4.3 Jelly Bean is at 52.1 percent of all active devices. That’s up from 48.6 percent a month ago. Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3-4.0.4) dropped a tad to 19.8 percent. The much-maligned Android 3.0 Honeycomb is at a mere 0.1 percent. Android 2.3.x Gingerbread is down slightly to 26.3 percent, and Android 2.2 Froyo is hanging on at 1.7 percent.

Those numbers are from devices that use the Google Play Store app, and so they don’t include things like the Amazon Kindle, to say nothing of the multitudes of other devices that don’t use Google services.

The big challenge will be to get those Gingerbread numbers lower. Eradication would be nice, but that’s not overly realistic.

Who care`s we still have Android.

Google Has in Store for Android 4.4 ??

The rumored release dates came and went, but judging from a flurry of leaks and pre-release app updates, the wait for Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) official announcement to Android 4.4 may soon be over. But while Oct. 31 does seem like the most natural date to announce an OS named after a staple Halloween candy it's still up in the air whether Google will finally lift the veil on KitKat for its legion of Android fans. However, with recent leaks and screenshots purportedly taken of the new mobile OS, we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect in the upcoming release.

Google Experience Launcher

As we've started to see in the months leading up to the new OS, Google has begun to "take back Android" from the clutches of meddling manufacturers. Google apps like Gmail and the Google keyboard have been lifted from OS updates and plunked onto the Google Play Store, allowing them to be both downloaded and updated separately from the big OS updates. But with OS skins like Samsung's (OTCMKTS:SSNLF) TouchWiz and HTC's (OTCMKTS:HTCXF) Sense slapped on top of the stock operating system, Android devices from different manufacturers still have a distinctly different look and feel from one another. And all that tinkering not only irritates users who prefer the "Pure Google Experience," it leads to heavy delays for software updates that could have otherwise been immediate if the device was running an un-skinned version of Android.

Well, that all might change with the release of the Google Experience Launcher. What it aims to do, presumably, is unify all the stock and skinned Android devices into a single UI that mimics (or essentially is) stock Android. Not only that, but analysts believe the Google Experience Launcher won't necessarily need 4.4 to run and could be compatible with versions all the way back to 2.2 Froyo, granting Android users with ancient phones the ability to run a current UI. While most of the details remain speculatory, they do fall in line with the company's recent "reacquisition" of Google apps.

Low-End Device and Wearable Support

Speaking of ancient phones, you know fragmentation is bad when devices released just last year may not see an OS update. For Android users, many have seen support disappear even before the contracts with their carriers expire. Of course, the lion's share of the blame lies with the skin-happy manufacturers and the bloatware-touting carriers -- all of whom hope users tire of waiting for an update and simply upgrade their phones. But some of this is due to how older devices simply don't have the muscle to run newer OS platforms.

However, recent rumors have claimed Android 4.4 will support low-end devices and be able to run smoothly despite outdated processor speeds and limited RAM. Also, it could point to compatibility with wearable devices like, say, a watch or a Google Glass.

Open NFC and Better Bluetooth

As Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) waits to forge headlong into Bluetooth low energy (see: The Biggest iPhone 5S Feature Nobody's Talking About), Google appears to be sticking with near-field communication (NFC) as a possible entry into the future of commerce. But Google Wallet, which used to rely on NFC to work, continues to languish due to a lack of support among retailers, not to mention carriers like Verizon (NYSE:VZ), AT&T (NYSE:T), and T-Mobile (NYSE:TMUS) outright banning it from their phones in favor of an even less-supported NFC payment system called ISIS.

But once again, Android 4.4 is suspected to eschew the heavy hand of carriers. The newer, more open NFC will be able to operate without a secure element like a Google Wallet app. Rather, developers will be able to emulate credit card functionality without needing the secure element to store data. It's still a bit unclear where the information will be stored, but anything that takes power away from carriers is welcome to end users.

Also, Bluetooth support will see an upgrade in Bluetooth HID over GATT and Bluetooth Message Access Profile. This will allow for compatibility and better connectivity with a greater number of devices like joysticks, in-car entertainment systems, and possibly some as-yet-unseen wearable technology.

More Sensors and Native IR Blaster Support

It's pretty incredible that our phones can already act as pedometers and tell which direction is north. But Android 4.4 is tossing in even more sensors to detect how your device moves and is being held. Three new sensor types -- geomagnetic rotation vector, step detector, and step counter sensors -- will have native support in the updated OS. This likely points to the release of more smartwatches that monitor your stride and direction during your morning jogs.

On the other side of the metabolism coin, couch potatoes aren't left out in the new release. Native IR blaster support is coming, giving developers the ability to build more apps that use a phone's IR blaster to control TVs and entertainment systems. This will make phones with built-in IR blasters like Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One the ultimate universal remote controls.

...And the Rest

Although Android 4.4 isn't a full version upgrade, it isn't without its share of changes and enhancements. Transparent navigation bar, white system icons, and altered icons are among some of the different aesthetic changes 4.4 will bring. Plus, better integration with Hangouts and Google Voice will soon mean VoIP will finally be possible (take that, carriers!), and location settings are getting overhauled to be faster and use less battery power.

And then there's the Nexus 5, Google's highly anticipated device in the Nexus line with LTE support over multiple carriers. Specs have already been leaked and the new device is said to rival flagship phones like the iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S4. As excited as fans are for KitKat, the buzz has never been more frenzied for a Nexus release.

 

All that's left is to count the hours until Google officially announces its latest OS and phone.

Research says Samsung sold more smartphones than Apple, BlackBerry and Nokia combined in Q3 2013

 

Samsung is riding at the top of the smartphone food-chain — let's hope they remember how they got there

I was looking through the data at ABI Research today about Q3 2013 smartphone sales. At first glance, I saw the pie chart I expected to see, with Android having over 80 percent of the worldwide smartphone market and was ready to close the tab. We know Android outsells everyone, and that just wasn't news I wanted to share. But right before I clicked away, a number at the top caught my eye.
Samsung sold 35 percent of all smartphones sold in Q3 of 2013. That's a figure that's fairly easy to come up with in the past if you wanted to do a little work, but there it was, laid out just like that. After a little poking around at their data, and calling in Andrew, our financial and numbers wünderkind, we realized just what that means.
According to ABI Research, Samsung sells more smartphones than Apple, Nokia and BlackBerry combined.
They also sell more than all other Android vendors singly, and likely more than the rest of the top five combined. We don't have that data handy, and aren't about to guess. And quite frankly, none of the other vendors have the history or the weight of total sales behind them that Apple, Nokia and BlackBerry do. It wasn't too awful long ago that they were the big three — the ones to beat, if you like — when it comes to domination of the mobile market.
This matters. Since the huge majority of these are likely to be Android phones (more data we don't have from ABI and won't guess at) it matters even more to us as Android enthusiasts. Samsung is clearly the dominant player in the entire Android ecosystem. If you had any doubts before, wash them away.
We just got finished seeing all the new tools Samsung is using to attract more interest in their smartphones. Regardless of what you may read elsewhere, this was an event centered around five new SDKs, four of which were Android only and one that was Android, iOS and JavaScript / HTML 5 (for the multiple screen APIs). Samsung is certainly all-in with Android, and Google has carried them to the top of smartphone mountain by giving them Android to fold, spindle and mutilate as they please.

Google has carried Samsung to the top of smartphone mountain

With their new push for the enterprise market, these numbers are going to grow. You and I may not be enamored with things like boosted security and Knox support, but we don't matter to Samsung. We're outliers. Samsung will spend the money to do what it takes for their phones to be as popular in a business environment as they are with us "common" folks. That's good news for people forced to use locked-up corporate phones. Let's hope Samsung also starts to offer more "developer" phones without all the extra security — and that people see the benefit in buying them.
For now, all this is still a good thing. Samsung isn't likely to abandon an entire platform that someone else writes for them and improves yearly for free, but we also need to watch closely. Samsung will do what is best for Samsung, like any other company. I don't expect Samsung to suddenly really care about Tizen, or provide more than the token support they now offer (note that I am a Tizen fan, I'm just realistic knowing that Samsung doesn't really care about it). Not when Google does the heavy lifting for them, and they are still free to make it Samsung on the top. But I can't completely ignore the Chicken Littles out there who are certain Samsung is ready to leave Android and ruin everything — because if they did, things would not be pretty for Android sales and support.

Voice commands In Google Glass firmware's new feature: Exclusive report

As our report on the latest Google Glass firmware hints at what features may come to Google's high-tech gadget & also its source of uses.

Google seems to be preparing many more features for Google Glass ahead of an eventual public launch. An examination of the latest Google Glass firmware by Android Police hints at what features may come to Google's high-tech specs. Most notably, users could have a much longer list of voice commands to work with.
Here's the full list of new commands that Android Police spotted in the firmware:

• Add a Calendar Event
• Call Me a Car
• Capture a Panorama
• Check Me In
• Create a 3D Model
• Find a Recipe
• Learn a Song
• Play a Game
• Play Music
• Record a Recipe
• Remind Me To...
• Show a Compass
• Start a Bike Ride
• Start a Round of Golf
• Start a Run
• Start a Stopwatch
• Start a Timer
• Translate This
• Tune an Instrument

This is simple, everyone wanted to use all this staff in one, check for this

Apps may provide some features
 
Keep in mind that not all Glass functions are built in by default. Some of them are enabled by third-party apps. (For instance, Glass users can currently say "Take a Note" to record their thoughts in Evernote.) Commands such as "Tune and Instrument" or "Start a Bike Ride" could very well be tied to a third-party app. Right now, the app selection on Glass is tightly restricted, but that could change with a proper app store coming next year when the device is supposedly coming available to the general public.
Related to the "Play Music" functionality, the latest firmware hints at music controls coming to Glass, with mentions of album art, track listings, and a radio icon. It's possible that users could someday play music through the device, but the more-likely possibility is remote playback controls for other devices, such as televisions and tablets.
The other big discovery is the theoretical expansion of eye controls for Glass, with a "double blink" detector mentioned in the firmware. I say "theoretical" because Google does not officially support eye control, though the unsanctioned " Winky" app allows users to snap photos with a blink. Google is treading lightly with eye controls due to the privacy implications, but we do know the company is interested in eye tracking as an advertising tool.
The current "Explorer Edition" of Google Glass is only available to a limited number of people who filled out an application, at a price of $1,500. Google hasn't said when it will launch a final product for consumers, but sometime next year seems likely. In the meantime, some of the features of Glass, such as Google Now integration , could also find their way into a smartwatch if recent rumors prove accurate.

Why Apple Wants Its Software to Be Free??

Fear Or Plan ?

Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering at Apple, unveils the new OS X at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco

Who knew Apple would become such a big shareware company?

Today’s product event in San Francisco will be known more for the introduction of new iPads, MacBooks, and Mac Pros, but what might be even more interesting is how Apple has decided to give away key software for free, including its long-awaited upgrade to Mac OS X, code-named Mavericks.

Mavericks and two other software suites, iWork and iLife, are now available for download free of charge. This continues an ongoing trend at Apple of lowering software prices—the previous version of Mac OS X, Mountain Lion, cost only $30. Compare that with Microsoft (MSFT), which charges $120 for the base version of its latest operating system, Windows 8.1, and $200 for Windows 8.1 Pro.

By going free, Apple has acknowledged something that’s been true in the industry for years: Software is a means to sell hardware. Sure, there are some specialized applications that can command a hefty profit margin, but bread-and-butter applications used in the mainstream are not things you sell. They are things people get when they turn on that shiny new object they just shelled out for.

This runs counter to Microsoft’s DNA as—at least until very recently—a software company. And let’s give Redmond some credit: That strategy worked really, really well for a while. But just as there’s been a shift in interest to well-designed devices (as opposed to the beige boxes that defined the PC era), so has there been an expectation that software be as seamless and costless as possible. Your browser is free, so is Gmail/Yahoo Mail/etc. and Google Maps doesn’t cost anything.

Apple’s strategy here is to get you on a device and with the latest version of its software as quickly and painlessly as possible. Does it want to get caught up in the intricacies of a pricing scheme for OS X Mavericks? No, it does not. Better to just remove price as a consideration and make it part of the device you’re using. Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook likes to talk about the perfect integration of hardware and software that Apple aims to achieve. By making OS X, iLife, and iWork free of charge, it can achieve that goal even faster.

(New Record) BBM Appliication installation in its first day on Android more than 1 million: Update Review

BBM is again on top, but not by its own. This time  because of Android. check out

We're getting our first look at the popularity of the recently released BBM for Android. Fresh out of the gate, the Google Play listing has placed the app in the 1 million to 5 million category. Those are total installations, and not "current" installs, so you've got to keep those numbers in context. Still. More than 1 million installs — and potentially as many as 5 million (we've got an e-mail in seeking more specific numbers) in a day is nothing to sneeze at.

Additionally, BBM's garnered more than 87,000 star reviews on Google Play — with the vast majority a full five stars.

A pretty big caveat, though — remember that there's a waiting list. So you can install the app, but you might not be able to use it just yet.

It's also worth keeping in mind that BBM doesn't work on nearly 30 percent of existing Android phones. BBM runs on Android 4.*, which as of the beginning of October made up 69 percent of active devices, according to the Android platform versions chart.

But either way, it's pretty damned impressive for BlackBerry — and for what many of us consider a dying platform.

Sure, but we can say, its was good for android user or for BBM?

Nokia Duel boot phone Vs Android: Officeil update.

"I am pretty sure there are many peoples like me who are sick of *Nokia Must Go Android* argument."

Nokia and Microsoft Windows Phone

I have explained it many times in comments the reasons why Nokia mustn’t go with Android but I guess a entire article must be necessary to get those people to understand why Nokia shouldn’t Go Android (However, I am sure they won’t understand this either).

1. Android is Big Pond with so many fishes and even sharks. Nokia is what I define right now is the wounded fish which is trying to recover, however when you jump on a big pond with so many threats its not easy to survive.

2. Now there are peoples who suggest that Nokia should go for Android as well as Windows Phone. No matter how bright this idea sounds it has its cons that are enough to suggest that its a bad decision

a. Android has so many OEMs and so many options even if Nokia makes an Android Phone how are they supposed to differentiate from the crowd, sure 1020 is super different but just based on that who wanna buy all products Nokia will put out?

b. Given Nokia has what you call Best Brand Value it still doesn’t have a brand value inside of Android for example like Samsung has with Galaxy.

c. Jumping on two boats is never a smart option

d. They will lose their identity as only Windows Phone Maker.

e. Nokia is not healthy enough to push android devices not enough capital to experiment(NSN Purchase)

3. Android is a Open Source OS with every XYZ company making a SmartPhone and also calling it the *Best SmartPhone Ever*, so small players will eventually phase out Samsung, LG, Sony etc etc. Don’t believe me? Read the IDC analysis it will give you a hint of future of Android.

4. Microsoft practically plays nice with Nokia because Nokia is making their Windows Phone a Viable Option, Yes I love Microsoft but truth be told if it wasn’t for Nokia, Windows Phone would have been over by now. So now when Nokia faces issues Sugar daddy is there and if Nokia goes android they are giving away a reason for MIcrosoft to back away.

5. Think about Nokia what comes in your Mind, whatever the thoughts are i am sure Windows Phone is also a part of it, so when someone shows their android phone to me I pull out my Lumia from my pocket and frankly they are like WOW. Because its different not blends in with crowd of Android Phones from every cheap company ever.

6. Windows Phone are taking of now, Yes it wasn’t this late Elop has thought but strategy is paying off, sales of Lumias are increasing every quarter that’s a positive sign.

7. Nokia is a company I know from my early days of phones, Playing Space Impact, Snake, Taking my first Photograph from a phone ever and I am sure many peoples have same memories and have a special place for Nokia and by being different from crowd they make em special(I know this one doesn’t have much logic but in all fairness i am a Nokia Fan)

So, these are my reasons for why Nokia shouldn’t go Android what you all think?
