Android – Iphone – Applications

One of my pet peeves is the current state of how apps in the App Store get their review grades. As you probably know the system as it stands is simply set up to allow anyone to write about and rank an application as many times as they like. Nothing had been done to prevent fraud in the sense of app developers writing multiple high ball reviews, until now, kind of.

The Federal Trade Commissions office has satisfied a complaint against a California based PR group called Reverb Communications. It turns out that the company who have worked with several developers were having their employees posing as actual users, and having them write up glorified reviews of different applications… Read More

Developing apps for popular mobile platforms like Android and iOS are a gold mine and that’s been proven time and time again. However, in order to get a chunk of that gold mine you’re going to have to take the time to learn whichever platform’s native programming language which can be quite time consuming. Either that, or you could develop for Adobe AIR which not only is available on traditional desktop platforms for also Google’s Android mobile operating system.

In fact, Adobe has let us know today that they will be releasing AIR 2.5 for the Android platform sometime in Q4 2010 that will bring with it some pretty sought after features. This includes access to a handset’s camera, microphone, accelerometer, and GPS units – all thing sthat developers have and will be able to take full advantage of creating some very innovative apps. Additionally, Adobe AIR 2.5 will provide developers with hardware GPU acceleration along with multitouch input.

The only somewhat bad thing is the fact that not all Android powered devices will be capable of running AIR 2.5. However, Adobe says if you’re device is capable of running Flash 10.1 (and most modern day handsets are) then you should be all set.
