Facebook Camera: A Dedicated iPhone App for Photo Sharing

Facebook have released a new iPhone application specially dedicated for sharing and posting pictures on this giant of social networking. Facebook camera, as the app is called, is to make the uploading and sharing photos faster and easier.

The app, which is pretty like the Facebook Messanger launched last year is developed to provide the user with the facility to streamline a single Facebook attribute which user may constantly be in touch with, instead of using the clunkier Facebook iOS application. It’s almost impossible to envision the complete hierarchy of Facebook without photos as they are the most important part of it, company spent $1 billion in purchasing the photo sharing app Instagram.

This new app essentially devotes to make the photo sharing facility much easier for the mobile users. Keeping the fact in mind, the number of people using their smart phones for accessing social networking is increasing at a very fast speed; it was required for the developers to come up with something which may target this huge media. Before having any such app, it was too difficult for a user to browse through all the pics he or his friends have posted, at a single place. To do so, he has to visit the profiles of different users in order to access all the photos posted. Facebook camera made the process easier as now it’s possible to browse through all the photos that friends have posted, a task which is all many users want to use Facebook for.

Before launching this app, it’s predicted that Facebook has learned a lot from Instagram. Photos on Facebook Camera are full bleed, covering the entire screen of your iPhone’s screen. You may also comment and like the photos right from the stream. And without even visiting the profile of the person who has shared the photo, you may re-share it right from your own profile. And of course, there are filters to help you out finding the most appropriate one for you, what you are looking for.

The best part is, the app is very lightweight. Many people have faced a problem of slow downloading while browsing the pics through conventional Facebook app, which is not the case with Facebook Camera. Having a separate camera app possesses yet another positive aspect of bypassing the cumbersome, clicky process which you have to go through while using the main Facebook app.

The Facebook development team is working for a long time to adorn the Facebook Camera app with all required features to make it worthy for the users. In between, Mark Zuckerberg has shown his intention to purchase Instagram. The main reason behind purchasing Instagram is its going to be the biggest competitor for Facebook Camera otherwise, and undoubtedly, Facebook hate competitors. Now there are both type of rumors, either Facebook is going to upgrade the features of Instagram for making it more personal or they want to develop their own app. No matter what way they are going, users will have something they always desired to increase their experience of social networking.

iOS 6, Android and Blackberry- and the winner is!!!

The biggest news of the day in technology world is the official launching of iOS6, which is nothing but a boomerang initiation from this technological giant. Just with its launching, the expectations of the users started touching the skies and along with fulfilling them, the company has to encounter the competition of Android 4.0 ICS and rather a newbie Windows 7.5. Now what everyone is waiting for is will it be able to defy its Google and Windows counterparts?

Well, its pretty obvious to make a comparison in between these three smart phone operating systems and after going to very detailed and precise digging, what I found out is something like this. All these three operating systems are enabled with the basic features like voice-support, social media integration and other multi tasking application.

Nevertheless, choosing the most omniscient from these two is a tough call. But if you have got any app idea for iPhone, Android or Blackberry, just give us the opportunity to boost your business. Request for a free quote and we will call you back with our expert solution.

According to Apple, the new iOS 6 will be integrated with over 200 new applications and features, containing some exciting ones like 3D Maps (Not Google Maps, as Apple decided to use its own map feature), Passbook (to make you able to store your important documents in a much secure way), Shared stream (just like the share option already available in Android phones) and voice commanding, which allow you to access your phone through voice. Profoundly, we can say its nothing but a iOS version of Android phones, because most of the features entailed in this operating system have a tough of Android.

When comparing iOS6 with Android, there are some features which look over-hyped. 3D map and street view is an example of it as it has replaced Google Maps from its predecessors. The passbook feature, which is first time included in any iOS was already launched with PlayStore. SVoice and Siri are yet other examples which actually provide Android phones an edge over iPhone and iOS6.

Now, if we compare it with Windows 7.5, well its nowhere near to iOS6, or even its previous versions. The smart phone OS will need to travel a long way to give even a bit competition to iPhones, especially when Windows is not so much cherished by the users.

At the first sight, iOS6 seems to be a replicate version of Android, with some over-hyped and improvements. Nonetheless, the only great edge iOS6 has over Androd 4.0 is the global compatibility, as this operating system is compatible with all Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad and iTouch. This is not the case with Android as some fanciful features like SVoice is specifically created for Galaxy S3.

Conclusion is, the winner is iOS 6, just for now! Android is dominating the market and it will keep dominating it, until or unless Apple is not continuing copying it. In fact, soon we can see some better versions of Android phones which will be a big headache for iPhones. Windows and Blackberry are in the market, but they will just play for the third place, at least for now.

Factors behind Increasing Popularity of iPhone Application Development

iPhone Application Development has completely changed the way of thinking of most of the IT companies. Not more than a decade ago, developing software was the primary function of most IT companies, and also the biggest source of their income. But with increasing popularity of smart phones, designing apps for them has arrived a great new boom and everyone is running for the same.

A great number of people always keep searching for a new app each and every time, with distinct motives. Some are for business purpose, some for entertainment and some for other utilities, or requirements.

In the initial days, iPhone Application Development was considered as an altered approach of software development, or somewhere a mobile counterpart of computer software development. In fact, the applications developed for these smart phones were just constrained version of original apps which are developed for PCs and laptops. But with changing time, companies started mastering the field and arrived with some excellent featured apps for these smart phones, exclusively for them.

So now, you have an opportunity to choose any app of your choice, may it be the browser app, shopping app, travel app, social networking, games or many more. Entertainment has become a matter of moments with these iPhone apps, with uncountable number of options provided by the designers.

Now, these teams focus exclusively on smart phone apps, which were previously considered as scaled-down form of computer software.

The increasing popularity of iPhone apps has opened a new door of opportunity for small scaled IT companies, who were not in a condition to compete with market giants in software development. As the industry has just started, everyone has the equal chances to compete. Hence, by providing a better quality and more innovative apps, smaller companies started enjoying some good revenue in iPhone Application Development field, without remaining in the dark shadow of market giants.

Along with that, big companies generally don’t find it profitable to get engaged in small projects, hence ignore such projects. As these iPhone apps are constrained to just smart phones, it’s not a profitable deal for bigger companies. Instead, they prefer following their traditional path of software development for PCs and laptops. This provides an opportunity for the small companies to establish their feet in the industry.

No matter how the iPhone apps are arriving into the market, they are always profitable for the end user. What matters at the end of the day is user’s comfort and amusement, which is undoubtedly achievable with these superb apps.

New iPhone Operating system iOS 6 Launched Lately

Apple has made a number of updates and new launchings in past few days, and there is yet another week at WWDC. iOS 6 is recently launched and many people are seeing it as a co-ordination with iPhone 5. The new operating system is adorned with a good amount of unique features and acquired some reputation even before its launching. Here, we are going to talk about the main features entailed in iOS 6.

Leave apart the 3D Maps; the iOS is just looking like the upgraded version of Android 4. All the features the developers claim to add are already found in other platforms like Cydia and Android. In fact, most of them were already used in iOS 5, consequently, there is no exciting thing and hence it’s doubtful the update will be able to win too many hearts.

The upgraded version of Siri which is used in this operating system to take sport related queries and local searching has already been utilized in almost the same way in Cydia tweaks. The app was named as SiriSports Tweak in Cydia. Not just this one, but many other features are just a replica of previously launched features. For instance, 3D maps which is just an updated version of Google map is already entailed in Android devices quite a long time ago.

And the setback is, Siri used in this operating system is not supportive to most of iPad because it’s supportive to only third generation iPads. The jailbreak community in fact is making some efforts for making it supportive for these devices. For this, the community has launched a new feature called Spire which brings Siri to the iPad. Still, the upgraded OS is quite a lot helpful for iPhone Application Development.

Developers are trying their best to grab the attention of their targeted audience by splitting the features into various categories like phone app, Social media integration, upgrading to the FaceTime app, Siri, 3D maps and photo apps.  Considering all these features, somewhere we may consider it’s a good step from Apple.

The bottom line is, undoubtedly there are quite a few apps which are actually can be considered as new invention in smart phone industry. But Apple could make some better efforts. Not to forget, iOS 6 will not be available for the original iPad but it will be working on iPhone 3GS as well as the iPad 2 and third generation iPad. Even before its launching, the developers were aware of the fact it has to face the competition of the market giant Android which has already surpassed iPhone in sales.

How to find an iPhone App missed by the community?

Nowadays, the number of iPhone apps are touching the sky and so many apps are there considered significant by people, but yet a huge assortment of apps available which could not get that much of recognition and most of the people miss them while scratching the top chart. These apps are worth keeping in your phone but get entered below the dozens of apps released every single day. In fact, whenever a user try and search for an app, he get an enormous listing to confuse him, and generally he misses the one which deserve to be with him.

If you have some interest in such apps and have some time to spare, better go with a niche based community or forum or ask your friends or other users about such apps, or may contact a good iPhone Apps Development Columbus company.

Finding such apps can be a tricky task but if you are well aware of what you desire and where you can find that, it’s not as difficult as it may appear at first glance.

Recently, I came to know from one of my friends that there is an app named German Class, which is too helpful in teaching you German language. I asked him if the app is such good, why it’s not appearing in the top listing of smart phone apps. The answer was, most of the people use their iPhones or Android phones for entertainment purpose and hence neglect such apps. They are not standing at the top of the chart doesn’t mean they are not worth keeping. After checking out the app, I came to know it was pretty useless having so many apps in my phone if I missed it. A high quality audio stream was entailed with the app to make your learning process too easy and fun. Same might be the case with many other iPhone apps.

Yet another good example is Ambiance app, which is gradually acquiring some recognition nowadays. It’s continuously moving more and more close to its perfect execution, to create a peaceful ambient atmosphere so that you can focus on your work, relax or reminisce in a much better way. Now who will be aware of such an app, or even might think about it. But you will understand its worth once you have used it.

Nevertheless, it may not possible for you to get some spare time browsing through various app stores or Google for these apps, visiting some trustworthy review sites can be a better choice for you as they provides you with a thorough information about any such app launched in the market place and missed by you. Along with that, visiting some community forum is a good option as here you may also get user feedbacks about them.

iPhone Application Development Columbus teams always keep updating about such apps and more importantly, a newly established review site is always in search of the people who love to run the extra mile to get something better, something unique.
