Bluetooth for the ipad?

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…

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.

Mobile Media for Mobile Marketing

The other day I was at Walmart and I noticed something that was a little surprising, everyone was texting, texting here texting there, texting everywhere.

So is it really, the trend of the future.

In fact, there were people trying to drive their buggies around and almost running into other people, mostly because they were not paying attention to what they were doing, they were in some cases stopped in the middle of the isle and people on both sides of them were waiting to get by, finally someone had to say excuse me but you need to move out of the way, they looked up as if in a daze and was embarrassed, (as they should have been) and moved out of the way, but can you imagine trying to drive down the road, wow is all I can say.

These days just about everyone is busy texting, even while they should be driving down the road.

Getting your media act together, what you can do to ensure your success in marketing for mobile media.

There are discussions going on right now among developers about the mobile revolution, in fact it appears at least for now that mobile communications, are in fact more prevalent, than its stationary counterpart.

So with that piece of info in mind…

What will the next big thing be?

Will it be html5?  probably not.

Is this the next generation of the media, will people get their news from mobile sources rather than stationary sources like the TV, are we looking at a brave new world?

What is the number one, most used media form for mobile media?  is is Video? or is it Audio?

You might be surprised to learn that it is in fact, Audio…

Video and Audio for the on the go crowd, is very popular, but what does  this mean to you?

Mobile content, is it the hottest new trend?

Some say yes and they are working hard to get content that is both fresh and friendly to as many devices as possible.

The iPad is one of the fastest growing user groups in history, with a rumored, 3.9 million sold and counting, the number of iPad users is growing faster than they can make them.

In fact, there is an entire industry dedicated to breaking into these devices, mostly I think to thwart, Steve Jobs, because of all the really great apps that have not been approved.

Because of one thing or another, sometimes it is because of political reasons.

Other times it is for some other reason, which no one knows, so in reality the apple Steve jobs thing is just sort of back fired on little Steve, I say little because he is acting like a child.

And his company will pay the price, so who will develop the next great device that is not tied down by jobs over reaching and perhaps even illegal activity to censor developers.

You have to wonder, there are some great apps out there, but many of them are not approved by apple so if you want a good app in the future you may not be looking at the app store at all you might be looking at breaking or jailbreaking your device.

Many say that nearly 50 percent have already done it, and more plan on doing it, but it really creates the question why do it, at all?

Well for one thing, Apple is not allowing very many apps to be approved, and the changes that they have made are not popular, banning flash, banning all other languages, except obj c, banning any api that is not apple approved, banning this, banning that…

The result is that you have a banned iPad.

So if you really want to see what is going on in the real world, dont look for apps in the app store because there are few that are actually developed for the iPad.

I know they say that there are thousands, but that is not true allegedly there are fewer than 2500.

Why is that? Well for one thing, many thousands of developers have quit Apple, after the over reaching and perhaps even allegedly illegal, terms and conditions of development, many thousands of developers have the feeling that they have been insulted and beaten by Apple the big bully on the block.

All because of an Adobe and Apple war, in fact one such group called, RunRev.com was damaged so badly that they may not survive.

Because they put their faith in Apple, and they lost millions of dollars, they lost.

So, perhaps they are selling lots of iPads, but if you want the really best apps, you may have to go somewhere else to get them.

facebook games

There is a new trend these days with the iframe facebook system that allow you to quickly and easily develop and implement games on facebook, however, what about using these games on your ipad, (sorry they are flash and as every one knows,) Flash does not work on the ipad, but why is that and more importantly, if it is something that millions of users want why cant we get that?

Excuses about flash on the ipad

So again someone said that flash was not allowed on the ipad for what reason?

Is Apple making a big mistake in its insistence that the ipad will never run flash?

You just have to wonder, about this because there are many different alternatives that do run flash and for what ever reason, apple is saying that they cant run flash?  What does that tell you about Apple, are they about to be the company of the past instead of the company of the future?

In many ways, you just have to wonder, what they are thinking.
