For instance, businesses around the world are expected to buy more than 96.3 million tablets in the next three years, from just 13.6 million units in 2011. Piper Jaffray, an investment bank and managing firm based in the US, also said that tablet deployments in businesses can grow to 15% this year, about four-folds from 4% in 2012.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that most businesses use cloud services today to automate tasks crucial to their business, including their hiring process. In fact, cloud app usage among hiring teams or human resources officers are predicted to increase to 13% this year, according to the HR Systems Survey by CedarCrestone Inc.

Although on its road to recovery, the still-volatile US economy has shoved about 11.7 million Americans beneath the employment threshold. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 7.6% of the country’s entire labor force is currently unemployed.

And with an estimated 90 million tablet users in the US by 2014, businesses must’ve realized that hundreds of thousands of promising talents are now mobile. Thank heavens for cloud job hunting apps that can walk job seekers through finding employment in today’s economy. It’s high-time to take advantage of businesses’ mobile hiring processes through TechRadar’s job hunting apps for the iPad!

Escopetarra

What do you do when you see a soldier holding a gun like a guitar? Well, if you’re César López, you create an escopetarra, a guitar made from a modified gun to make a statement about peace. You see, López is a Colombian peace activist and he wanted to say that it’s better to make music and not violence.  The first escopetarra was born in 2003, made from a Winchester rifle and a Stratocaster electric guitar.

VN-CX1A/B

One thing is for sure: voip service providers (read more) are not the ones who thought of this mouse cum internet phone device. We don’t really understand why Sony even developed such a product, when it’s easy enough to call someone using a standard laptop with a built-in microphone. So yeah, the VN-CX1A/B might be a cool idea—but it “needlessly complicates both your phone call and your mousing.”

Nokia NGage

Honestly, we can’t remember anyone who bought an N-Gage when it was released in 2003. Maybe because everyone we know had a Game Boy Advance or at least wanted one, which could be the reason for its lack of popularity among our circle of friends. It seems that this gadget “meant as much for play as it was for communications” was just not everyone’s cup of tea, though, only selling 5,000 decks in the US and 800 in the U.K.

Flowbee

There’s this scene in Sweet November, where Charlize Theron’s character uses a Flowbee to cut her hair. Now, just in case you’re not familiar with the Flowbee, it’s actually “an electrically powered vacuum cleaner attachment made for cutting hair.” It was invented by Rick Hunt, a San Diego carpenter, in 1988. To use this nifty device, you don’t need to buy a special vacuum, just use your “standard home vacuum to deliver a neat and efficient home haircut solution.”

Taser + Leopard Print + MP3 Player

Don’t get us wrong. We love our iPod as much as the next guy; but we also can’t leave the house without our ever-reliable Taser. It’s a good thing, then, that Taser “released a belt holster that can be loaded up with 1GB of MP3s.” Sure, it’s not exactly as posh as our iPod but it’s not like the latter can prevent us from being mugged—so there’s always that to consider. Oh, and did we tell you that the holster comes in leopard print? That’s double the fierce, if you ask us.

Livescribe Pentop

We don’t do a lot of note taking, but we can see ourselves buying the Livescribe if, for some reason, we are tasked to take notes by hand. Simply put, it’s a pen that can record audio as you write notes and it can synchronize said audio recordings with what you’ve written down so far. It can also do “relatively simple calculations, such as mathematical operations and language translations.”

Radio Toaster

Breakfast plus morning news? Well, why not? Created by Hammacher Schlemmer, the Radio Toaster is described as “the only toaster to combine fully customizable toasting options with a built-in FM radio for convenient news, traffic, or music as you prepare breakfast.” Now, we don’t know about you, but we’re pretty sold on this gadget, considering it has Bagel and Thaw as toasting settings, and an adjustable antenna for the radio.

What is a Web App?

Web apps are applications intended for access over the Internet, but the term can also be used to refer to computer software which is coded in a language supported by web browsers (example: JavaScript), and dependent on a web browser for its execution and implementation. Web apps are popular because browsers are ubiquitous, and they are prized for their ease of use. They can be maintained and updated without distributing software to thousands of clients, and they have great cross-platform compatibility.

Web apps are built using basic technology. Distinguishing a web app from a website is as simple as this:

Web apps are installed by a user (think of all of those apps you’ve downloaded for your tablet or phone). These apps can be built to run offline and don’t necessarily need a browser window open to function correctly.

Here, you will learn a little about the history of the app, and how they are created by the app developer.

The Beginning of the App…

The earliest apps had their load shared between code on the server and client sides; each app had a client program which served as a UI and required separate installation on each computer. When server-side code was upgraded, client-side code also had to be upgraded individually, contributing to higher costs and lower productivity.

By comparison, modern web apps use documents written in formats like JavaScript and HTML, which are almost universally supported by web browsers. They’re essentially a variation on client/server software, where that software is downloaded when a client user visits a web page. Software updates can happen each time a page is visited, and during each session, pages are interpreted and displayed by the browser, which serves as a universal client.

Breaking Down the App…

Web apps are broken into segments called ”tiers”, and every tier has a distinct role. A traditional app has only one tier, which is located on the client side, but web apps can have an unlimited number of tiers. The most commonly-used structure has three tiers, which are usually designated as presentation, application and storage. The web browser is the first tier, an engine using technology such as Python, ColdFusion, or ASP is the second tier, and the third tier is a database. The app works when a request is sent by the browser to the middle tier, which fulfills the request by querying the database and generating a UI.

Today web apps are used for all manner of (excuse the pun) applications, from gaming, satellite navigation and marketing through to business uses such as remote monitoring and access, and financial management.

Modern web apps, such as the Microsoft Office Web Apps, allow you to access and share documents with the browser-based versions of their most popular software: Word, Powerpoint, OneNote and Excel. Another example is the Google Calendar which allows you to connect to your calendar whilst you’re out and about and even share your diary with friends, colleagues and family. Apps are everywhere and they make sharing information, connecting with people and keeping up to date with the latest goings on an absolute cinch.

The Future of the App…

So, what does the future of the app look like? The honest answer is; who know what the future holds! With futuristic gadgets such as Google’s augmented reality glasses (also known as Google Glass) now part of our reality, it seems that the possibilities for internet applications are endless! Where do you think that the app is headed?

The BlackBerry Messenger, was the first successful mobile to mobile instant messenger, and RIM used this feature to rule the smartphone world. Even till date, so many people are fund of “Pinging”. Except in Canada which is the home country, most smartphone users in the developed nations where RIM operates has switched to iPhone and Android, but around the developing nation, the “PING” still reigns and RIM has a large market exploration.

For few years back, in the US, UK and around the major markets, the BlackBerry brand is almost going into  extinction as the RIM stock was continually drowning every single quarter. Thanks to the latest BlackBerry product, BlackBerry 10, I will tag it “RIM’s Revival”. RIM bounced back with the BlackBerry 10 early this year with great and fascinating features.

The new BlackBerry 10 with its great features, and the ancient BlackBerry Messenger remained what RIM is holding up to to stay in the competition.

No smartphone maker has been able to achieve the kind of success RIM has gotten with the BlackBerry Messenger except recently when a third party developer, developed an a messenger app that works and has the layout of the BlackBerry Messenger.  The app I am referring to is called “WhatsApp.” Within few months of launch, the WhatsApp app is already contending with the BBM because it was a cross platform messenger. BBM users can only chat, send voice and share files with BlackBerry users, but in addition to this features, the WhatsApp works on iOS, Android, Nokia Symbian and even on BlackBerry, meaning that you can interconnect on these platforms.

This became a point of concern to RIM, and recently on the BlackBerry Blog, I saw a press release with headline “BlackBerry Plans To Launch BBM Across Multiple Platforms This Summer.” Reading the story, I got to know that a BBM app for the iOS and Android had been submitted for approval on the Apple store and Google Play, and according to plan, it should start download this summer.

Now,  BlackBerry users can connect with the iPhone and Android users. Great inter-connectivity, I love it, my fiancee is an Android user and I have got a BlackBerry.

Since the BlackBerry Messenger will now be coming on Android and  iOS, I wonder what the future holds for BlackBerry? The BBM has been a great strategy for long, making  the market for RIM.

Is RIM gradually succumbing to the big players? Or it is already planning a new strategy?

This is a great issue in the history of smartphone, share your thought in the comment box below!

Actually, Apple is not the problem; the company has tried his best making good batteries on those iPhone. The real problem is you.

Some iPhone user opens numerous applications that run underground, without knowing the impact of this on their battery. There are some important tips you have to put in mind to make your iPhone battery lifespan last longer.

It is recommended that you keep your iPhone from direct sunlight and heat, don’t leave your phone in hot cars, even in glove box. Heat is a factor that degrades battery performance the most.

Apple specifically explained that iPhone works best at 32° F – 95° F. It should be stored under -4° to 113° F which is 0° to 35° C and -20° to 45° C for the metrically inclined. Keep your iPhone near to room temperature.

Definitions:

Battery Life: This the time your phone runs before the battery is recharged.

Battery Lifespan: This means the amount of time your iPhone battery laps before it get replaced.

One of the important ways of improving your iPhone battery life is by monitoring iPhone battery usage stat. You can access this by tapping on “Settings” on your home screen, chose “General” then “Usage,” Under “Time since last full charge” you will see Usage and Standby

Usage: This is the amount of time your iPhone has been awake and being use since the last time of charge, when on calls, email, music, browsing, and text messaging, and even when applications are open on background, such as auto-checking emails.

Standby: It is the amount of time the iPhone has been on since the last time it was fully charged, including the times the phone was on sleep.

Tips to optimizing your iPhone battery life

Update to latest iOS

Most times, Apple releases updates to its iOS, bug are fixed, new features added. Those news features may include some battery optimization wares. This can be done through the iTunes.

Configure your settings

Your iPhone battery life may get depreciated based on some configurations. If you auto-receive emails so often; be rest assured that you will be consuming more of your iPhone battery.

Here are few configuration tips to help you manage your iPhone battery

Adjust your brightness:

Microsoft exchange and Yahoo! are examples of push mails, when you don’t need this service, you can simply turn them off to elongate your iPhone battery life. The messages will now be received as global fetch setting rather than coming straight as they arrive.

Don’t frequently fetch new data

You can set mail to “fetch data wirelessly” at some interval. iPhone battery drains quickly when data are frequently fetched. You can set the “fetch new data” based on hours.

Turn push notifications off

On the Apple iOS, new data are mostly alerted by Push Notification. Applications such as instant messaging fully depend on push notification, this fully impact battery life. You may disable “Push Notification, this does not affect receiving of new messages.

Don’t use the location service so often

Its so much fun for some people to make use of the location service on their device. The location service such as map makes use of the satellite technology; it has so much impact on your iPhone battery life. It is advisable that you use this services only when needed.

The Airplane Mode also helps

In areas of low or no coverage, always set your iPhone to “Airplane mode.”

Your iPhone will always make all effort to connect to the cellular network. it consumes more power in areas of low or no network. You will enhance your iPhone battery life by setting your device to “Airplane Mode” in this kind of situation, but you will cut out on calls.

Other tips

Lock your iPhone screen

When you aren’t using your device, make secure you set it on lock. You can manually or automatically set this. You will be able to receive calls and messages, but other programs will be rendered dormant. This will help in saving your iPhone battery.

Regularly use your iPhone

The Lithium ion batteries require continues flow of electron to render is active. One more important tip to help enhance your iPhone battery lifespan is a complete cycle at least once in a month. This includes you completely draining your battery and charges it back to 100% full. The battery life will not be easily depreciated.

This is a pattern the company has followed for many years now, and the D3000 in particular was fully into this mold, being enjoyable to use, elegant, and cleverly designed for people who wanted good quality photos without having to deal with the complexities of pro gear. This model in particular was a refresh of the D60, adding some ease of use features and better technologies. As a result, the D3000 sold nicely even though it only had a 10MPx sensor, and could not even do video.

But now, the marketplace requires more, and Nikon is answering this need with the D3100, a complete redesign and refresh of the previous generation. Instead of the older 10MPx sensor, this one has a 14MPx CMOS sensor along with full HD video. This means you can record 1920×1080 pixel resolution movies with it, even though it is still sold as a photo camera. While there is no limitation on the length of movies, because it only has a 4Gb file size limitation, you can record up to ten minutes of video at this quality.

The design itself sees a refresh, with an extra button added to the side of the LCD screen and a mode switch under the mode dial. There is also a direct video recording button as well as a sprung lever for live view. Nikon added something called Guide Mode, which is an easy to use system that can focus automatically to give you decent photos at a click of a button, and can also do auto focus during video recording.

The D3100 is not a complete upgrade, but instead a redesign that brings the 2010 device into a more modern era. People no longer accept the quality that we used to have back then, and now even an entry level device needs to deliver stunning images. This is what the Nikon D3100 provides thanks to its increased sensor size and better technology. A mirror-less interchangeable lens also helps deliver better images with little mess.

The advantage of the mirror-less camera is something a lot of companies have been trying to push in recent years, and the D3100 takes full advantage of it. This allows these lower cost cameras to look more like small, thin point and shoot cameras, but still provide full DSLR quality shots. Nikon is quite clearly positioning this particular model at those who want to upgrade from their current point and shoot or camera phones.

This new model competes with many others already on the market, like the Sonys NEX-3, Olympus E-PL1 and the Panasonic GF2. They all have easy to use interfaces, focusing on the lower end market of those people who want good quality photos at a low price and without the added complexity of higher end models. Nikon already has its legacy of D60 and D3000 to drive sales for the D3100, and it already seems like this new generation has everything to please. As it makes it onto the shelves, it seems likely to become a success.

A natural born writer, Stacey Barton writes professionally and for fun across a wide range of niches with particular attention to how classic brands can continue to offer the same product for decades and somehow survive the turbulent and ever changing consumer market.

The first iPad mini was described by Apple as something that is “every inch an iPad.” And so it is. We have been presented by the tech giant with a handy tablet that has the same physical appearance (except for the size) and same built-in apps. It was widely accepted by the consumers that more than 10 million units were expected to be shipped in the first quarter of 2013.

Banking on the popularity of iPad mini, it is then safe to assume that Apple is prepping up to surprise the world with amazing features in the succeeding mini device. What then are these changes that people expect (and hope) to see in iPad mini 2?

• Play and work with display. Consumers may have not been blessed with a retina display for the first iPad mini but the next ones are seen as more likely to have this cutting-edge design. Retina display is one of the key selling points of iPad mini’s 9.5-inch counterpart. For iPad mini 2, the ‘higher resolution’ people expect is pegged at having a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels—a high improvement in the 1024 by 768 display of the first iPad mini.

One of the limitations seen by consumers in the first iPad mini was that its low resolution limited the users’ experience. They had to ignore the pixels composing texts, especially the ones in e-books. With iPad mini’s highly-anticipated retina display, one can freely see everything—from pictures and videos to e-books—in rich color and high resolution. This is also expected to enhance viewing documents in my DropBox or business messages that can be received through my RingCentral business phone app.

On top of besting the previous versions, the tech giant also has to keep up with the display features of the competing devices. Apple has already been branded as the maker of devices with retina display, thus making the speculation that iPad mini 2 will have a retina display gets stronger as each day passes.

Buckle up, your latest game app would also be as crisp as it could get! You might even forget that it is not the real thing.

• Weight is not an issue. The only trade-off that experts warn consumers about is the slight increase in the tablet’s weight for a retina display always brings an increase in the volume of the device. However the difference between the weight of the iPad mini and its would-be successor will surely be too minimal you would not even notice it.
• Faster, stronger system. Rumor has it that iPad mini 2 will also flaunt one of Apple’s strongest processors for mobile devices that we have seen so far. This was based not only for the obvious reason that a later model should always feature better components but due to the fact that retina displays demand for stronger processors. Remember, files generated by devices with such displays always produce large files.

Experts say that the new tablet’s processor would most likely be a dual-core A6X chip or A5X. The former is being used in the iPad 4 line while the latter in iPad 3.

Now, are you up for a small device with big features? Let us all wait and see what Apple has in store for us.

The Finnish company is still not out of the danger zone though. The Economic Times reports that Nokia was planning to suspend dividends in an effort to save cash. With that said, it would be very interesting to see what Nokia comes up with in 2013.  Here’s a look at the exciting Nokia rumours swirling around:

Read also: Nokia Lumia 920 Vs iPhone 5 Vs Samsung Galaxy S4

Nokia Lumia with 41 MP PureView

When the Lumia 920 was launched last year, some consumers said that its’ awesome specs could have been even more drool-worthy if only it had the same 41MPsensor that the Nokia 808 PureView has. If the rumour mill is true, then this dream could now become a reality. The news was first heard from digital marketing expert Flavio Pic on his Twitter account. The alleged device is interestingly codenamed Project EOS – EOS being the same branding that Canon uses on its DLSR cameras — and will most probably be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2013 at the end of February.  When asked about one Twitter user about the credibility of the rumour, Flavio answered, “my sources are very reliable and credible.” Now if a Nokia Lumia 920 with 41MP sensor is really in the works, this would be nothing short of awesome, differentiating Nokia from the rest of the competition.

Metal Body Lumia

Not only is Project EOS underway, Flavio also says that we can expect Nokia to launch six new mobile phones in the first half of 2013. One of these is said to be metal-body Nokia Lumia 920. Called Project Catwalk (maybe because of its attention-grabbing body?), the supposed new flagship device is going to be thinner and lighter, thanks to its aluminum frame.  The current Lumia line sports a polycarbonate body.  Apart from the metal frame, this new Lumia is expected to have similar specs as the current Lumia 920.  The Verge also reports that two other Lumia handsets will be debuting this year.

Nokia Laser for Verizon

In another report, The Verge says that Verizon is planning on releasing a high-end Lumia handset called Nokia Laser.  The Laser is going to be the US carrier’s flagship device and will be another variant of the Lumias launching later this year. The Nokia Lumia has been an AT&T exclusive since it was unveiled last year, so this will be good news for Verizon customers.

Needless to say, all eyes are now on the Finnish company’s next move in the smartphone chessboard.  With Samsung and Apple still rocking it at top places in the mobile phone market, new high-end handsets from Nokia present a welcome alternative.

I bet, this package is a big alternative to other web based applications that cost you hundreds of dollars to create your content.  It is currently in Beta and free, it covers about five applications you could have spend close to a thousand dollars on, and seriously, its end product yields an excellent result. Easy WebContent has not paid me for this review, but I chose to do this review based on the result I got from using the Easy WebContent product, and I believe it will be useful for my audience.

Let’s go down to the History Lane of Easy WebContent

Traditionally for you to create standards presentations you had to consult the popular and soon to be outdated Adobe Flash or the Microsoft PowerPoint, go to the web, you will see how much you need to pay to get these stuffs. Not everyone could afford this. PaymanTaei and his team have done a great job creating the EWC Presenter product.

According to Crunchbase, Easy WebContent is a collaborative effort between professional web designers and the HindSite Interactive, Inc developers. HindSite Interactive Inc, established in 2001 is a web based consulting company giving custom web solutions to organizations and business. In 2008, the team came together and created Easy WebContent via sensing a demand for fast, cost effective, simple effective method of website editing. With this WYSIWYG system, website owners can access their site content without prior technical training or big expenses.

Founder and President of Easy WebContent, Payman Taei stated “Presenter is meant to simplify the traditional process of creating animations and presentations; What traditionally required hours of tedious work with design experience is now put in the hands of everyone who wants to create engaging content”. He continued

“Our goal is to change and improve the way users communicate content. Traditionally content has been static, composed of primarily text.  Through the use of Easy WebContent Presenter, we want to give the user the control and the know how to visually drive their message.”

EWC Presenter which was launched in the fall of 2012 as closed beta and went open beta early 2013.

Easy WebContent Presenter adds new features

The letter titled “New Features Since Last Time You Used Presenter” reads:

We promised and we’re keeping our word

We promised to listen to our users and continually improve Presenter. At Easy WebContent we have spent the last 16 months in heavy development and testing before reaching our Public Beta version.  In fact we revamped the entire front-end of the Application twice based on our closed beta feedback.

The Nokia Lumia 920 is an ambassador of the Microsoft Windows Phone 8 and a big fish for the Finnish phone maker. Via few researches of functionality and features, the smartphone could really stand as a competition to the strong brands such as the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Analyzing few features such speed, screen resolution, battery power and camera, the Lumia 920 really has something to offer that even surpasses few features from the big guys.

Design

The Samsung Galaxy 4 takes up the design of its predecessor S3, the only upgrade is the plastic back that pops when you feel like replacing the battery. The iPhone 5 also followed the previous design pattern like the iPhone 4S while Nokia also worked according to the design of its flagship Lumia 800 to make the Lumia 920. The new Nokia Lumia comes in flamboyant colors.

 Display

Nokia made a 4.5 inch screen with resolution 1280 x 768 on the Lumia 920 while the Samsung Galaxy S4 takes up the super AMOLED full HD 5 inch screen with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution having Gorilla Glass 3. Apple gave the iPhone 5 a 4 inch widescreen multi-touch with Retina display. The Lumia is standing in between in terms of display and screen size.

Processor Speed

The Apple A6 chip on the iPhone 5 was analyzed to an equivalent of 1.2 GHz dual core processor, the Nokia Lumia 920 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip 1.5 GHz dual core. The Galaxy S4 beat them all, the UK version is powered by a 1.9 GHz quad-core processor, and other markets will be using a whoop octa-core processor on the Samsung new product. For real, you can compare a speed of 8km/hr to 2km/hr, but the Lumia stand in between still beating the Apple iPhone 5 for speed.

Operating system

Samsung has signed up for Android and the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is a pretty good operating system. The iPhone 5 carries on its iOS. The Windows Phone 8 is really an operating system that offers great features, the only problem is how it could speed up to capture the already established iOS and Android brand. Apple is just eating from its brand it has already built.

Camera

The Galaxy S4 picks up a 13 MP camera supporting full HD 1080p video capture. Nokia went up to 8.7 MP with optics instead of electronic stabilization, supports auto focus, LED flash and HD video capture. iPhone 5 is just 8MP although packs a lot of features like its unique panorama mode. You can really see that the big guys just has a pose on their brand names, Nokia should not be underrated with the Lumia 920.
