<Category: Twitter> 5 Comments

We can’t deny the fact that Twitter is growing everyday. Twitter is now attached to our everyday life. That’s why it isn’t limited just to the desktop, it’s also on everyone’s phones now. You can access it via your data connection ( use the the mobile website ), or just download a twitter client. One of the most popular smartphones, BlackBerry, also has many twitter clients. The top two are Seesmic, and UberTwitter. I wanted to add OpenBeak to the list, but it’s just horrible. Let’s have a look at the two apps and how they compete with each other in terms of various features.

Quick overview of the new iPad apps

<Category: Apple> Only 1 comment

app1 The iPad comes pre-loaded with the familiar built in apps that we’ve seen in the iPhone and iPod Touch before, only that they’ve been redesigned from the ground up. The conventional Safari browser works pretty much the same way it works on an iPhone. The Mail app offers a split-screen view that enables you to view an open email and your inbox. Viewing photos on the large 9.7” would be a pleasure, where your photo albums are visible as stacks. You can tap to open the album and pinch to see a preview. Maps, iTunes, iPod, YouTube etc have pretty much the same functionality as in the iPhone.

Inside the top secret Microsoft Apps Lab

<Category: Microsoft, Windows> No comment

Windows PhonesMicrosoft is trying hard to get developers excited for Windows Marketplace, while at the same time taking shots at the competition, namely Apple’s App Store. While most iPhone users are fond of the $0.99 Fart apps and the likes, Microsoft thinks such apps are worth rejecting. This recently posted video on the Windows Mobile Dev Youtube channel really mocks the hell out of such applications while labeling them as rejects in the top secret Microsoft Apps lab.

You know those rumored Zune Apps and Games? They have been confirmed!

<Category: Microsoft> 6 Comments

Rejoice Zune HD users! Apps will be coming to the Tegra based powerful device. A video has been uploaded by a person trying out the Zune HD and finding out the Apps category in the Marketplace which is further confirmed by the other person demoing it. That person doesn’t reply when asked about an SDK though. Plus we have no idea on where they would be installed. My guess is an App link in the main menu when one is installed or after a software update because strangely, Microsoft is still not advertising Apps as a feature.

<Category: iPhone, iPod, Microsoft> 3 Comments

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Microsoft has a couple of free apps in the iPhone App Store. imageThe apps are based on Microsoft’s own technologies, Microsoft Tag and Seadragon. While Microsoft Tag is only useful if you’ve got their tags to scan, Seadragon Mobile really stands out. You can views thousands of photos seamlessly just as you can on your PC. If you know what Photosynths are, you know what I’m talking about. Since we’re on it, lets take a look first at what Seadragon has to offer. Keep in mind that this app is just a technical preview by Live Labs who also created Deep Zoom and Photosynth
