Bluetooth for the ipad?

May 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Will competing products edge the ipad out of the market place because apples refusal to provide access to the Bluetooth stack?

Blue tooth functionality is becoming more and more popular…

But so far Apple will not allow developers access to the blue tooth stack so that innovation and commerce may be developed, imagine what it would be like for a paralyzed patient to be able to give voice commands to an ipad, affordablely changing the high dollar components that are required now.

Apple may be on the edge of serious competition for its ipad product.

Update, guess what, there are so many pads on the market that the value of the pad, has gone way down hill yet, still Apple has not adjusted to this new market.

 android…

When will they learn that the market is not the same as it was back in 1999…

Will apple, change its ways or will they continue to disrupt access to hardware that is not owned by them?

What they are doing, is something that is a real problem, allegedly Apple is attempting to apply the same restrictions they apply to software, which is ok I guess, but with hardware, you the consumer are the owner, now Apple, eventually there has to be a stop to this garbage.

Apple allegedly blocks access to the bluetooth stack preventing use by disabled individuals.

For many disabled individuals who are hearing impaired as well as disabled in other ways, the ability to use a bluetooth connected device on the ipad would greatly improve the lives of those individuals, however, allegedly Apple does not allow connections to certain devices that would create a great deal of happiness in the lives of many people who are disabled.

For many disabled people the ability to use speech to text software would be of a tremendous value to them however allegedly apple is not allowing them to connect these devices to the ipad even though the capability allegedly is there already.

Additionally the use of a microphone/headset capable of enhancing hearing is also something to consider.

For many people the idea that they cannot use the hardware that they buy to do the things they want to do is just not a very nice thing to do, we hope that Apple will see the light on this issue and do the right thing.

Key pad for the ipad

April 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Fat finger syndrome, is causing a lot of trouble for apple…

With the most recent iOS support for additional configurations on the touch pad might finally work for the rest of us who have large hands, If you have ever tried to use an ipad for any length of time to do any serious tasks you need this.

This is a must have if you are an adult attempting to use the ipad for anything but a game.

At the time I purchased my Ipad, the 80 buck price for a keyboard, which by the way is the same price as the full size keyboard, was daunting, but now apparently, there are some nice after market and some OEM products out there that are nice and affordable, imagine that.

Perhaps you have seen the plug in key pad for the ipad and thought hmmm, you mean I can actually have a full keypad with arrow keys and all, it would almost be as productive as having a real keyboard.

And you would be Right.

While it is a little pricey, it is very nice, to have on a trip where you need to do some quick typing and your sick and tired of the touch interface which is ok if your 12, but not so much if your an actual adult.

The one thing apple needed to supply standard.

Steve Jobs takes leave of Absense

January 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Apple stock expected to take a hit, but how much?

It allegedly could be from 240 to 289 down from 385 most likely the real figure will allegedly be 350 to 365

It is no co-incidence that Steve Jobs, made this announcement on a day when the stock market is closed, yet, the last time this happened, the stock actually went up, however, I would not expect that to be the case this time, with the idea of some of the things that apple has done over the last year some people think the stock could be allegedly over rated and over valued.

Either way it is hoped that his health which has been a fight for several years will improve running a large corporation is a difficult thing to be sure and it is not as easy as you might think.

All in all we hope that Steve recovers and is able to once again join the apple team in its continuing effort to product the best products and services.

xcode source code

December 30, 2010 By

Look out, it will be coming soon, to a website near you.

So you want to know more about how Xcode works, well join the crowd and we do mean there is a huge number of people that are interested in developing Xcode projects.

Apple Ipad source code.

Offering Examples of Xcode now as a developer I have looked at a lot of this and some are interesting but most are just plain old.

Obsolete, for the most part.

You get lots of warnings, about, outdated methods, they still work of course, but the issue is that if you want to work with the newer codes, you need to update and or upgrade, still it is useful, even if you may not use it the way it is, you can look at how it works you can develop additional theories, on what you can do by learning how to make better use of a method.

Now here is the big question.

Do you want iPad source code?

Are you curious about how it works and what you can do to implement changes to source code?

Developing ipad software is in demand and we are about to release several products designed to build your business using ipad software.

Learning about how to use Xcode to learn valuable techniques.

In a recent new product it appears that there are Xcode application source files that are being offered to those who are interested in learning how to use xcode, some of the products are selling for as high as $500 bucks to $1500.00 and some as cheaply as $5bucks

And in an alleged, overpriced, $97.00 for a couple of videos and one small xcode application.

Interesting stuff, for sure because there is a lot to understand about xcode and it is not cheap to develop applications, mostly because of the hype of the applications but also because it really does take a good deal of time to do this kind of work.

The question is this, can you learn from looking at the source code of applications, and the answer to that is a big YES.

Again this is because apple does not go out of its way to provide user friendly resources.

So they once again leave it up to the third parties of the internet to explain how to use Xcode.

In some ways this is just not right, in other ways, well it is sort of just arrogant.

Do you think that apple should try to help provide new user friendly resources, with 10 cent words instead of 50 cent words?

Can you buy Xcode, well actually no, it is free, from Apple, however, you can buy source code at several places online, but a word to the buyer, be aware, that most of the source code is in fact old, and is not compiled using recent software, so most of it will not be very useful unless you have code that is compiled with a Gold master.

Now that is a different story, so stay tuned because we are going to bring some good news very soon now.

ipad opportunity

December 25, 2010 By

What you can do to take advantage of the coming software update for the ipad device, in fact with iOS 4.3 due out by the end of the month, you could easily say that the opportunity has not even begun yet.

So what came first the ipad or the ipad opportunity.
One might wonder, but for sure the ipad opportunity has yet to be even realized.

Be all you can be, that is what they say, however, one of the most important parts of developing and learning about the iOS the operating system that creates the ipad opportunity, is developing a plan that will work.

Can you still make money using the app store?

Or is there some secret to getting the job done.

The answer is Yes, you can, however, it is not as easy as you may have been led to believe.

Can you really make money creating ipad apps?

We want to provide you with the opportunity to do something special, something that will help you understand how unlimited the world of app creation actually is.

Did you know that the opportunity of a life time could await, you and that with the right kind of knowledge you can discover the truth.

The opportunity is just getting started ipads are changing the way people look at the internet and it is changing the way people look at reading books, Earlier this year, Apple unveiled a new product that took the web by storm.

The product was the iPad, a specialized mobile computing device built around the same successful “App Store” that drives the iPhone and iPod Touch.

ipad users can use built-in “apps” (short for application) to perform tasks such as browsing the internet, composing documents, sending and receiving email, and so on.

  • The real draw for most users, however, is the availability of hundreds of thousands of specialized applications that can be acquired for free or purchased from Apple’s online “App Store”. These apps are the core of the iPhone and iPad user experience, and are as diverse as the end users they’re designed to appeal to.
  • Some apps help users manage their social contacts, look up restaurant reviews, or learn more about the world around them. Others are designed simply to make the iPad emit a farting noise, or create the effect of a glass of beer being chugged. They all have one key element in common, however:
  • They all represent a highly lucrative opportunity for the enterprising developer.
  • More than than they represent a Rush to deliver content. However that rush will not be a short lived fad it will be a sustained delivery of content over many years.

Established Customer Base
Apple’s App Store on the iPhone has proven to be an unqualified success.

  • Since the store’s inception, the concept of the “app” has grown to overtake mobile computing, inspiring the creation of several competing devices and platforms built on the same technology. Despite that, Apple has seen more success and their devices such as the iPhone and iPad still account for the majority of smartphone and mobile computing devices sold in world. The numbers of apps available in the store has grown from just a few hundred in the beginning, to more than a quarter million unique apps that have generated more than 5 billion downloads worldwide.
  • What’s interesting about the iPad, however, is that it seamlessly runs all old iPhone apps. That means that it’s built to easily integrate with the pre-existing App Store that has already proven to be such a success and that attracts such a huge amount of user traffic every day. Users who are coming to the iPad are often already familiarized with the iPhone and the App Store, which means they’re already familiar with, and excited about, the world of apps. In other words, the customer base for selling iPad apps is already in place, even though the device has only been available for a few short months.
  • Many of  those who developed apps early on for the iPhone had to struggle to get the content and distribution method recognized, those who are looking now to develop early content for the iPad will be able to enjoy a wide audience with a built in distribution method that just so happens to be one of the most popular online marketplaces in decades.
