Android – Iphone – Applications

One of the pitfalls of Apple iOS is the lack of a good notification system. By notification system, I mean a panel where one can view all their notifications in a consolidated panel, much like the notification panel of Android OS.

Instead, we have a system that, with every pushed notification, you get a popup alert, a sound and a badge on the application icon which presents itself as a useless system once you dismiss the popup alert. Once the popup is gone, the risk of forgetting the notification opens up.

LockInfo, by David Ashman, picks up where Apple slacks by providing us with a very useful notification panel that can be set as your lockscreen, your first Springboard page and/or a panel activated by Activator (known as InfoShade).

For those who text on your iPhone, you might be interested in this BiteSMS app. It is better than Type n Walk.

The App allows a quick pop-up window for when you want to make a quick text message, or send a quick reply to a text message. There are also delivery reports, forwarding, templates, scheduling, and autocomplete, as well as many others.

Sadly, this App is not free, as it costs $9 and requires a jailbroken iPhone. You can click on my Source-link for some other rates thrown in.

Those of you who have never heard of TED, then you should know about it.

It started out in 1984 as a conference to bring together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED). In the past 25 years, it has become bigger and now it has an iPad App.

The App brings all the info and even video to iPad users for those who desire it, and it is also free.

We have reported on TweeDeck when it was on beta for Android, and it is now stepped out of that.

It allows for updating and viewing a Twitter account, and it can also put other updates such as FourSquare, Facebook, and Buzz. You can get your location in as well as social networking too.

Go ahead and get it, as it is free.
