GetAppQuotes helps connects entrepreneurs with mobile app developers

Got an idea for a mobile app? Now is the time to cash in on that idea. According to Gartner, Inc, consumers will spend $6.2 billion in 2010 and mobile application revenue is predicted to grow to $29.5 billion by the end of 2013. That’s an increase of over 450% making the mobile app industry one of the fastest growing technology industries since the internet boom of 2000.

Success stories of mobile developers making fortunes off apps have emerged almost overnight. Stories like that of Ethan Nicholas, whose iPhone app iShoot earned him over $900,000 in eight months. Stories like that of Ge Wang, owner of Smule, who reported iPhone app profits of over $1 million for 2008. In addition to these stories, the Android has proved itself equally as lucrative for developers like that of Kim, a former Volkswagen engineer and co-founder of San Francisco-based startup Picwing, who now earns over $13,000 each month off an Android app called Car Locator.

“The mobile app market is somewhat of a gold rush right now and small time developers are making big fortunes off of relatively simple applications. It is truly amazing to see mobile app developers become millionaires in the matter of months,” says Andrew Gazdecki, president of GetAppQuotes, a company specializing in connecting entrepreneurs and companies with mobile app developers.

Copy2Contact 1.0.1 Offers Acclaimed Technology to iPhone Users

Announcing that Anagram Technologies, the developer of Copy2Contact, has released a new product for iPhone and iPod touch users. The popular Copy2Contact technology that has previously only been available for the PC and BlackBerry is now being offered as an exciting, new App. Users now have a fast, easy way to capture contact information with just a tap from virtually any text source, eliminating re-typing, copying fields of data, and errors.

So, what’s the solution? How can you improve the ease and precision of moving details to your contact list? The answer is Copy2Contact! This technology has been helping users of Microsoft Outlook and Salesforce for the past eight years, and BlackBerry device owners get even more benefit from its streamlined contact entry process. Companies like LinkedIn trust it and the program has gained acclaim as its user base has grown.

iPhone OS 4.0 jailbreak has a few major caveats

Many iPhone users out there like the handset, but aren’t big fans of being locked to one network or limited to using only approved software. For this type of user jailbreaking, their device is often one of the first things done.

The catch is that with each update the jailbreak crowd has to find another way around the lockdowns Apple puts into effect. With iPhone OS 4.0, coming soon jailbreak artist MuscleNerd is already at work on jailbreaking the new OS.

Sony to make their own iPad?

 

At this point since I am not very satisfied with the Apple iPad I am welcoming any and all companies that are developing tablets. Sony is now claiming they will be building their own tablet in the near future, according to Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda:

“[Slates are] a market we are also very interested in. We are confident we have the skills to create a product…Time-wise we are a little behind the iPad but it’s a space we would like to be an active player in.”

Sony does make pretty decent electronics, their Vaio laptop line are a good set of computers, their TV’s and other electronics are great as well. But their PSP Go is ho-hum. The PSP has good games, much better than what I have seen on the iPhone but has done horrible in sales, and it’s UI is nothing to really be amazed with.
However imagine a PSP combined with a Sony Vaio, all in a handy tablet shaped touch screen device – and you might be on to something Sony. I don’t think it could be worse than the iPad.

Adobe scraps work to bring Flash apps to iPhone

What a difference two weeks and a few words of legalese can make to the future of a widely used programming technology.

In that span of time, Adobe Systems has gone from touting its technology for building Flash applications that run on the iPhone to canceling future development of that technology.

When Apple changed the terms of its iPhone 4.0 software developer kit license, it effectively blocked Adobe’s move. But in his Tuesday announcement that Adobe will cease future development of the Flash-apps-on-iPhone technology, Mike Chambers, Adobe’s principal product manager for the Flash platform, let loose a tirade that indicates the battle between the two companies isn’t over yet.

“As developers for the iPhone have learned, if you want to develop for the iPhone you have to be prepared for Apple to reject or restrict your development at any time, and for seemingly any reason,” Chambers said. “The primary goal of Flash has always been to enable cross browser, platform and device development. The cool Web game that you build can easily be targeted and deployed to multiple platforms and devices. However, this is the exact opposite of what Apple wants. They want to tie developers down to their platform, and restrict their options to make it difficult for developers to target other platforms.”

Voodo 2 – New Todo Magic for iPhone

I Wonder Phone today is pleased to announce the release of Voodo 2, a big new version of its simple yet powerful GTD/todo app for iPhone and iPod touch. It is celebrating the new Todo Magic with a 50%-off price in the App Store. Voodo perfectly combines a simple, clean user interface with a rich set of powerful features.

After trying existing GTD/todo apps, Ling Wang, an independent developer from China and the founder of I Wonder Phone, found those with wanted features are all too complex and they often Make Things Up more than really Get Things Done. So he decided to design a GTD app that is really simple and powerful at the same time. That’s how Voodo was born. He named it Voodo because he hopes it could help users Get Things Done like voodoo(magic).

Voodo 2 has an almost brand new design underlying to incorporate so many new features such as Non-intrusive Auto Sync, Task Search, Quick Add, Contacts Integration, Geo Locations, and Nearby Tasks. But it keeps the simple and intuitive user interface, so existing users will find it an old friend with new magic.

MaxNick Debuts iCurling 1.0 for iPhone – Olympic Curling

MaxNick today is pleased to announce the introduction of iCurling 1.0.1, their new 1 or 2 player game for the iPhone and iPod touch. The game comes in the wake of the excitement of the 2010 Winter Olympics, where the sport of curling generated world-wide enthusiasm. Similar to shuffleboard on ice, the game is played on flat ice curling sheet, roughly 15×150 feet. Players slide round stones of about 40 pounds towards bull’s eye targets at either end. Two teammates may use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the moving stone.

iCurling attempts to simulate Olympic Curling by incorporating many aspects of the actual sport. Fundamentally, curling is about force, mass, friction, momentum, rotation, and collision. The app exploits the sophisticated physics engine built into the iPhone OS to generate a convincing simulation of all these elements as they interact. In the terminology of curling the weight is the velocity of the stone; the turn is the rotation of the stone (which affects its trajectory); and the line is the direction of the throw or delivery. iCurling allows the player to continuously and independently control all three, permitting advanced tactics such as the guard, takeout and tap. In addition, the app allows the player to sweep the ice while their stone is moving, adjusting trajectory after the delivery.

Maybe you're also great at keeping your eye on multiple moving targets and maneuvering them to their proper destination?

Perhaps No Monkeys Super 7 is the game for you!

Priced at 99 cents, this super simple game concept gets tricky fast. Reminiscent of the flight control games in style and function, this game is easy to start playing from the get-go. Simply match the numbers in floating gems to count to their magic number 7.

Simple enough, yes?

Well, once you get the gist of things, the game will start throwing out other variables like negative numbers and bonus stars. To rack up points, you'll need to craft larger gems by combining smaller number combinations.

But beware! The more gems on the screen, the harder it is to maneuver in the traffic and once two gems touch that count for more than 7, the game is over.

Super 7 is simple enough for most anyone with basic math skills to effectively play. I find it's a great opportunity to brush up on some computational skills and have fun at the same time.
