Android Market Growing Rapidly

Smartphone users love their apps and with the growing popularity of Android devices, the market place is growing at a rapid rate. Currently, Android Market has over 30,000 apps available to their users, which has grown from 16,000.

This has significantly increased over the past few months, many thanks to the successful launch of the Droid by Motorola (Milestone) and the Nexus One. The 30,000 apps represent both free and paid apps.

Android Market is growing, but it’s still far from Apple’s market, which has approximately 140,000 apps available. It’s somewhat an unfair comparison, since the iPhone has been out for much longer than any Android device. Given the successful growth of Android, it won’t take long for the Android market to reach these numbers.

Research2guidance, a research agency, recently reported that the app market business would bring in approximately $15 billion by the year 2013.

Smartphones apps getting smarter every day

The amount of people purchasing smartphones has increased over the number of years; partly due to the amount of applications that are being developed. So many apps have helped people with their daily lives and become more productive. There are some apps out there are simply there for pleasure.

There have been a few apps developed that allow you to scan barcodes of products and give you prices of that product at other stores to make sure you’re getting the best deal. There is a new app from IBM in development, called Presence, which is making waves. The stores that are using Presence will know when you enter one of their locations and can make recommendations on what to buy based on what it knows about you. There’s also a company called ScanLife that allows you to scan a bar code and see a video about that particular product and allow you to purchase it, even after hours.

The majority of bar code apps are currently being used to save consumers money. In addition to telling consumers where they can get a less expensive price, apps can also produce coupons that locations can scan right on the phone, rather than cut. During these economic times, it’s made stores more competitive with their prices knowing a customer can simply leave as soon as they found another store with a better price within seconds. The only down-side is that the majority of these apps are US-centric so fingers crossed they will make it over the ditch in the near future.

      MWC Day 2 Round Up

      Mobile World Conference, Barcelona, Spain 2010, February 15, 2010

      The most anticipated announcement at this year’s MWC is Windows Mobile 7. It wasn’t a secret to anyone that it would be revealed at this event, but unfortunately we won’t see any devices until around the holiday season. Windows 7 will have a new Start screen and show updating content (such as photos). It will also include hubs that will allow you to organize certain aspects of your life. There is a People hub, which is geared towards social networking, a pictures hub, game hub, music and video hub, Office, and Marketplace. Developers will begin to start over as current Windows apps will not run on any of the Windows 7 phones.

      Acer’s two other phones will belong to their neoTouch family: P300 and P400. Each phone will havea 3.2inch display, but the P300 will have a WQVGA resolution and QWERTY keyboard, and the P400 will have a HVGA resolution and no QWERTY.

      There were also quite a few Android handsets announced at MWC this year. Lumigon introduced three new Smartphone that will run Android. The T1 and S1 will have touch screen displays, but will have a T9 keyboard. What’s interesting about these devices is that they can also act as a universal remote, which will allow you control your television! The E1 wasn’t on display, but according to Lumigon’s founder, Lars Gravesen, it’s “the most beautiful phone I have ever seen during my entire 10 year career in mobile business.”

      Google translate on your phone

      Google developing software that translates foreign languages into your native language – in real time!

      Imagine talking to someone across the world and being able to understand them when they speak an entirely different language. Google is feeling up to the challenge.

      Google has been working on developing software that would be able to translate foreign languages into your native language. If it goes according to plan, they could have the software ready to use in just a couple of years. Sounds challenging, so we’re not sure how accurate that is.

      Google has already developed translation software, which is free to use. It isn’t always accurate however, since people generally add words or phrases that may not actually be what they mean to say. It is a nice piece of software though for those who are looking to get a general understanding of what one is saying.

      The biggest challenge they could face is that although the language a person is speaking may be easy to translate, their voice is the hurdle. People have different accents as well as dialect. Whether or not Google rises to the challenge, it’s still software many would like to see in action.

      Symbian goes open source

      The Symbian platform is now going to be an open source platform. Symbian states that their transition will be the largest in software history.

      Symbian is found on a majority of Nokia phones and when Nokia acquired a major share in the company in 2008, they decided to begin the process of making it an open source platform.

      Symbian saw success in Google’s Android operating system, which is Linux-based and is also an open source platform.

      They have claimed that it will be different than Android. “About a third of the Android code base is open and nothing more,” says Lee Williams, executive director of the Symbian Foundation. “And what is open is a collection of middleware. Everything else is closed or proprietary.”

      We’ll see if Symbian stands out enough to capture a new smartphone audience.
