All these to appeal to different users’ preference.

What exactly make a smart phone tick are the applications that can be set up on it. Based on the operating system that the smartphone runs on, creating a smart phone app is not difficult. All you need is a development phone and an app development kit and you are able start building your very own own app to share, or perhaps selling it for a fee.

For example, to develop an iPhone app all you need is to subscribe to the Apple iPhone Developer program (which is price at $99), get an iPhone or iPod touch, a Mac, a Non-Disclosure Agreement, the iPhone SDK and a notebook to write on.

Since smartphone makers are making revenue from the sales of these phones, it is also time that you start writing useful apps for these smartphones and offer them to those who may find meaning use of it to generate some money from it. Remember, you should do some research as to what kind of issues that people find most in their everyday life and if the applications that you developed can assist them reduce or solve some of their challenges then people would want to buy these applications from you. Always think of providing value first prior to making money. The moment people see your value then money will automatically come your way.

You never know, if your app is popular with smartphones users you can even make a fortune out of it.

Palm Pre: We love Palm

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:32:02 +0000

I have been a Palm PDA user for many years now, and I have been wanting to upgrade to a smart phone. The Palm offerings like the Centro and Treo’s just didnt have the flash and moderness of the competition like the iPhone and Google phones. So I waited. And I carefully considered switching services. Rumors of a new PalmOS floated around. And then nothing. And still nothing.PalmOS was showing its age. And yet my PDA’s still worked fine.

Then, the Palm Pre arrived. I was skeptical. Its linux based.Its based on the open source linux, which makes it quite easy to develop for. Its all web based (I am a web developer).Awesome: just what I am looking for in a phone!

I couldnt be separated from my Pre. It syncs my Google Mail with my work’s exchange server into one seamless mail experience. It syncs my calendars too. Fantastic! It multitasks.I can play back music stored in the 8gb built in memory, or stream music online. It does everything I wanted a phone/PDA to do.

Of course, nothing is perfect. It currently does lack Adobe Flash support although that is supposed to be coming (they have Flash on linux in general so I dont see it being much harder to get it to work on the Pre), and it doesn’t have a generic Jabber client (google talk is based on Jabber so I am not sure why they don’t have this yet). The App Store is a little sparse so far, but there is a homebrew apps site with unofficial apps you can install. And the biggest little complaint I have is the battery life, which for me averages about 12 hours.Depending on how you use it, you may want to get the extended life battery.

It also uses any wi-fi connection you might have, seamlessly using it for faster internet access, which also saves on battery time.

Overall, My Pre is fantastic.It is developer friendly, its smooth and easy to use, and its on Sprint.

Review of the T-Mobile Dash Phone by Cell2Get

T-Mobile Cell Phones models include the Dash Cell Phone. The Dash Cell Phone or HTC Excalibur is a great SmartPhone that is much smaller and sleeker than it would appear in photos. It isn’t a very photogenic phone, and the screen’s angled corner with the metal face make the DASH phone look rather odd and with a shape that resembles a pear. In spite of its appearance, you can be certain this SmartPhone is the hottest selling model in the United States at the present time. The phone has excellent durability and is sturdy enough to endure some serious abuse though it wouldn’t be a good idea to test that theory.

The keyboard on this phone is rather mediocre but it does include a new feature that is a real time saver. Instead of having to hold the alt key and dial another key to obtain an alternate character, you only have to hold down the appropriate key for a second and it the function you need appears. The phone is also MyFaves compatible for those T-Mobile customers who enjoy that feature. It is also WiFi compatible and has email capabilities. In reality it’s a rather sturdy and capable Smart Phone for the functions for which it is intended.

Also by purchasing this phone as an Unlocked Cell Phones you will be able to use it with any GSM carrier, even overseas. If you are wondering what an unlocked cell phone is, here is a quick explanation. Unlocked cell phones are GSM cell phones that use SIM cards. Each carrier that uses GSM has there own SIM card. Normally phones are locked into specific carriers, by buying them unlocked you can place any GSM SIM card into the phone and it should work.
