Creating A Buzz For An App - Part 2
Continuing our market research for the JobFinder App (as described in my last blog) I decided it would be good to examine the analysis that has been generated via Flurry. Looking at the past usage of the app should (hopefully) give us an insight into what currently works well within the app, and thus should be continued, and what doesn't. The theory sounds all well and good, however in practice it is not that simple.

I have just finished reading part 1 of an excellent series of articles on Ray Wenderlich's site entitled How to Market and Promote your Games and Apps. I expected the article to be a regurgitation or mash ups of ones I had already read, you know the type that seem to appear every week on the LinkedIn forums, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it goes much deeper than other articles I have seen. iPhone4S Camera Comparison

We have a number of smartphone devices within the company to enable us to test the iPhone, Android and Blackberry apps that we develop. With the release of the new iPhone 4S with its "All-new 8 MP camera" we thought it would be good to do a comparison with the different devices in different settings. As you can see some smartphones are better than others. Apps Are Not Just For The Big Boys

Hands up how many people own a smart phone? How many of those remaining believe they will own a smartphone in the next year or so? How many with a smartphone, or hoping for one in the near future, run their own business? Now those with their hands still up how many are planning to have their own app downloaded onto their smartphone within the next year. If your hand dropped to your side like a lead balloon on the last question, maybe you should read the following and think again. Technology in the Midlands
On business and social media sites such as Ecademy, LinkedIn and Twitter I often see networking events, conferences and meetings arranged for technology companies and contractors for the London area. Having had some contact with the North West region as well, I am aware of a reasonable number of telecoms companies, large and small, in that area too. But what about here in the Midlands? Is the demographic different here? Are more people employed in roles outside of the technology arena? Is there less interest in technology here? Comments (1)

Some seven months ago in July 2009 http://top10.com/mobilephones/ wrote an article for this site on Top Smartphones for 2009. With the fast pace of mobile telephony I thought it was time to recap on what are now considered the top Smartphones. As well as looking at some of the near future contenders.

What will the term Smartphone mean in five years time and will today's "Smartphones" replace the current low and mid range phones in the future? Professional Membership - Is it worth it?
In the past, as a Technology and Engineering student in the UK, I received literature extolling the virtues of joining a professional institution such as the BCS (British Computer Society) or the IEE and IEEIE (Institute of Electrical Engineers and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Incorporated Engineers, which merged to form the Institute of Engineering and Technology or IET in March 2006).

No tutorial but new site available
I just thought I would allay any fears. For any one who has been following my iPhone App tutorial blogs you may have noticed that there has been an unusual delay in publishing lesson 6. This is because I have been concentrating on creating a more iPhone App specific website whilst writing the next lesson.
The end of an era
I've just heard from some old colleagues about the impending closure of their company in Coventry. I have no attachment to the company they work for as it was taken over after I left. However I do know a fair number of the people being affected.
