Nokia and RIM Are Not the Same The share prices of Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) show that investors do not see the two companies as being in the same predicament. RIM’s stock price has dropped more quickly and drastically over the past 10 months. RIM is trapped in the smartphone business, in which it has become a failure. Nokia still has a relatively successful low-end handset business. According to a report on first-quarter 2012 cellphone and smartphone sales from research firm Gartner, Nokia dropped behind Samsung as the world’s largest maker of handsets. Gartner’s measure of smartphone share showed Samsung at 29.1%. Nokia may never again be a force in the smartphone market. RIM lacks a similar business to fall back on. Douglas A.

Top Trends of 2012: The Continuing Rapid Growth of Mobile In our half-yearly review of the top Internet trends of 2012, there's been a common theme: mobile is the main driver for all of them. The Visual Web (Instagram, Pinterest and similar image-focused apps), the Consumer Cloud (Evernote, Dropbox, iCloud and others), social video apps (Socialcam and Viddy) and video on tablets (BuzzFeed, Flipboard and others). Each of those trends are popular in 2012 because of smartphones and/or tablets. According to StatCounter global statistics, mobile traffic jumped from about 4% of all Web traffic at the end of 2010 to over 10.5% now. It's difficult to choose just a few examples of how mobile has rapidly grown in 2012, but we can clearly see the influence of mobile this year in three of the biggest Internet companies. Google's Mobile Content Play What used to be known as the Android Market was re-branded at the end of June to Google Play. Almost every announcement at the Google I/O keynote [...] tied directly to Google Play.
Matteo Spinelli's Cubiq.org No tapetão « Link O alvo principal é o Google, na mira de Apple e Microsoft. A empresa que criou o Android acusa a guerra das patentes de travar a inovação Por Filipe Serrano Guerra das patentes – clique na imagem para ampliá-la. Desde que o Google resolveu se aventurar em mais uma área que não era até então a dele, as empresas que hoje disputam as lucrativas vendas de smartphones travam uma Guerra Fria entre si, com acirradas disputas judiciais ou acordos bilionários. A disputa se resume aos três grandes da tecnologia – Google, Apple e Microsoft – direta ou indiretamente e, há pouco menos de um ano, passou a acontecer em tribunais e agências de regulação nos EUA. De um lado, o Google busca um mercado novo, aliado a parceiros como Samsung e Motorola. A briga chegou a tal ponto que hoje, quando você compra um celular Android, parte do dinheiro pode ir para os concorrentes. A ação da Apple é ainda mais agressiva. O Google perdeu a chance de se proteger contra processos diretos ou indiretos. Não deu certo.
HTML5 Application Cache How To There are a lot of great blog posts, articles, and videos about HTML5 Application Cache, but because it’s fairly new and the spec is still evolving, it’s hard to get your head around all of the intricate details. What is it? The Application Cache is a new HTML5 capability that is different from the normal browser cache that we’ve had for years. The normal browser cache maintains copies of recent files that you have accessed and keeps copies of those files on your computer so that when you need the same file again, it won’t have to re-download it. Try it now with an offline-enabled website: Go to using Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Opera. Looking under the hood from Chrome browser: If you are using Chrome, you can check out what was downloaded at You can also see the files being downloaded from Chrome’s JavaScript console: The console after hitting the same site for a second time: More information about cache-related events is below.

Developing an iPhone App using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PhoneGap – From Concept to App Store | Blog Hi. I'm a front-end web designer/developer by trade. When I first heard that I could develop iPhone apps using my existing skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), I couldn't wait to get stuck in. Having just got my first app, Speed Distance Time Calculator into the App Store, I thought I'd share an overview of my journey, right from coming up with a concept, through to going live in the App Store. I feel this sort of overview would've been very helpful to me before I started. I'll discuss the technologies and resources I used to build a web-app, how I converted the web-app into a native app, submission to iTunes and many of the stumbling blocks and realisations I had along the way. I cycle a lot. Given this, the concept for my first app was a no brainer - a speed distance time calculator which would satisfy the needs of many people and support as many units of speed and distance I could think of. The first thing I did was design the app. iOS4 GUI PSD Design Safari - iPhone User Agent Landscape mode
Learn from your customers for usable Web apps Imagine the following scenario: You go shopping to buy a loaf of bread. The shops look gorgeous, decked out in vivid colors and stunning artwork. Trouble is, you can't always tell from the window displays what sort of products are on sale inside. Eventually, you find a shop that looks promising and ignore advice that this store's expertise is with a gadget you don't own. You find the front door and wander in. Now you enter a maze of aisles containing products organized in an apparently random manner. Before paying, you attempt to ascertain that you can use your credit card safely, but the inscrutable small print has more to say about your legal obligations than reassurance about your security. This is a Nightmare on Web Street! Why does this happen? OK, it's a caricature. Online shoppers are less interested in a groovy multimedia experience than in finding, understanding, and buying products quickly and easily. The customer's perspective "This is too stupid for words."" Back to top a. a.
