			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a well-know fact  that there are mobile phones like Nokia or Samsung than iPhones. No matter how hard Apple tries  fast-paced development of Google&#8217;s Android is going on and competitors  like other smartphone brands like Palm Pre, Windows Mobile, and others  are here to fight for their market share. Currently we should be thinking in a different way &#8211;  in  terms of touch applications not just iPhone apps. You can both of the both worlds by using the  PhoneGap framework software. This framework not only gives you the  opportunity to package your web application as a &#8220;native&#8221; application  for the iPhone, Blackberry and Android. It may  also be able to use some basic APIs such as accelerometer, geolocation  and vibrator.</p>
<p> Bad for Apple it has refused to  build in the PhoneGap framework into the applications due to some  compatibility problems. Apple seems to have  decided not to judge apps for the way in which they were built without  looking at each and every application individually!</p>
</p>
<p>So what is the main trend?</p>
<p> Hopefully there will more and more standards around mobile development  and hopefully Apple will be more open with how they handle their  increasing virtual monopoly. Given all  the restrictions imposed on Microsoft in the last 10-15 years I will be  surprised if Apple does not come into the same problem sooner or  later.  I sincerely hope  that Apple will become more open since the whole mobile world&#8217;s app  developers are waiting for this to happen.</p>
<p> iPhone is really a great phone and Apple Computer has done a  great progress for the development of the whole mobile industry. I hope they take  responsibility and let people compete on equal terms and have the  confidence needed to not lock people into their platform. It is worth mentioning for many businessed and people who are  focusing too much on iPhone that there ae many platforms that are worth  paying attention to. If you continue to heavily invest into iPhone apps  it could prove to be a pretty narrow investment. Pay attention to  creating platform independent applications working with lots of mobile  phones not just iPhone. I definitely think that the future is in the  cloud and on the web, not locked into various enterprise domains.</p>
<p> Today we are the  setting the paradigm for how we mix the computers and mobile phones to  work together. Computers today (even Apple&#8217;s) are extremely open  platforms that we basically can do whatever we want with. For the smartphone and the whole mobile phone market this  should be not a big difference. I think it is important that we as  consumers seek ways to influence companies to give us an open platform  with the ability to download applications that we want. App Store is great but it  would be nice if there were many powerful alternatives. Something that owners of Apple iPhone 4 should know is that having  the <a href="http://www.uciama.com/">best iphone 4 case</a> is the way to stand out and protect your iphone (asin#8866) from  damage.  Some uniquely designed <a href="http://www.4-iphone.com/iphone-4-cases/">best iphone 4 cases</a> will make your mobile phone look very  attractive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A freeware application for the ipod touch can turn the music player into a virtual mobile phone. Truphone uses wi-fi technology in the ipod touch to enable the user to physically call other ipod touch owners and Google Talks messaging service users as well. The software development is a spin off from technology Truphone developed for smartphones and iphones and the developers of the radical new technology plan to have the ability to call landline phones in place as soon as possible.<span id="more-35"></span> How will the iphone survive this? This could be the answer for a cheap iphone, buy the ipod touch and implement this new software. You dont even need to integrate any third party <a href="http://www.aerco.co.uk" target="_blank">electrical components</a> other than a simple mic.</p>
<p> Ipod touch users who are keen to use the software must hook up a microphone to the device in order to make and receive calls to the handheld music players. The idea is very much the same as the internet revelation known as Skype. By using the internet program Skype you can make landline and mobile phone calls from your computer for next to nothing. If one user is online at the same time as you on Skype then the phone call is absolutely free of charge and it is understood that Truphone will produce a similar set up to this one. Indeed, <a href="http://www.aerco.co.uk/Franchises/Winchester+Electronics+Kings+Electronics.htm" target="_blank">Winchester Electronics</a> have been producing similar devices since Skype first launched.</p>
<p> The CEO of Truphone, Geraldine Wilson has said that the firm aims for global internet recognition. There is a massive gap in the market to be filled here and Truphone are not necessarily doing anything illegal, so why not? The only catch for this all to work is that you need to be in range of a wireless internet network. It will also need to have the newer <a href="http://www.aerco.co.uk/Cable_Wire_Accessories.htm" target="_blank">mil-spec cables</a> for microphone pick-up. The Truphone technology will hopefully be available for the Google phone early next year. The company prefer to target phones with an application feature on the phone already as this is the easiest way to download more information.</p>
<p> The founder of the technology, James Tagg, said that this technology will work on other phones but in a slightly different way than modern phones such as the iphone, google phone and blackberry.</p>
