The trendy word among smart phone users

We are still assimilating the broad variety of new technological gadgets launched in the first quarter of this year, almost all that you need, is at your fingertips, it's time to wake up to  the 21st century, for those who still live tied down  to the phone book and a stack of  broadsheets (SfB) full of yesterday’s news and outdated information in this modern over inform society, of course the only fresh ingredient is that annoying and staining ink all over our cloths and the wife’s favorite table cloth, well that SfB also serves another good purpose, ! To wrap around avocados, so it will ripe fast for Sunday’s barbecue. My teenage son send  me a text message from his  iPod touch 4G a few days ago, he asked me very impatiently about an inquietude thought he had of a new trend in group communication witch it can and  be able to disseminate ideas to specific groups of common interest. Why limit the broadcast possibilities by posting just a blog on the web and strangle the chance to widely spread with greater efficiency to all receptive media, reaffirming his question with that statement. Well I think he is in the right track, I wonder myself, why haven’t I thought of that before?  Many have found the answer in the APPS; Could this be the new social trend in response awaiting of an extremely impatience society, where they demand immediate answer to all their concerns and desires?

I know that many of you are questioning the previous comment about texting from the ipod, well of course the iPod does have the ability to become a virtual phone without having to unlock it or much less (jailbreak it) This app assign  your device with its own phone number, so you may  send and receive text messages as long as you access the Web via WiFi, a variety of these applications available on the App Store and Android Market, this is also an alternative for those with limited text messages from your mobile provider.

The trendy word  among smart phone users is APPS, all of us  use it, without paying attention to their meaning, some of us think that it stands for "Application" and others conclude that it is an acronym like most terms used in English. Whatever, !it is what it is!, is just  the solution we found for  the diverse amount of tasks that we want to resolve with our smart phones throughout the day in all our personal and professional activities, there are apps available for almost everything imaginable and every day they develop even more,! If after searching through more than half a million of these apps! you can not find one that fits the specific task you need, just write me and I will undertake the task to find someone who will develop an  APP for your specific needs. Apple App Store has more than 350,000 APPS, of which 65,000 are dedicated to the IPAD and Android Market APPS surpasses the 300,000 Apps barrier, many of these apps have dual platform and others serve to cross between platforms. For example: Videoconferencing between i MAC OS devices are using the "Face time", while the APP Tango is available in iTunes App Store and Android Market which works great between my Android 2.2 and my son's ipod.

Some of my fans are wondering why BlackBerry does not make it, to be  mention in  this blog, well, for the same reason that no mention is made about Windows Phone System 7, the Palm OS Web, the BABA of Samsung or Nokia's Symbian, this last one been  mention was one of the first smart phone operating systems in the US,  with great success and acceptance .One of the main attributes was  its open architecture in which it can be use by other smart phone brand manufactures, unfortunately for the U.S. customers, Symbian lost the battle early in the war between fruits and little aliens and was soon displaced by  Apple and Google in the United States, but ever since Symbian  remains in fist place around much of Europe, Asia and a significant presence in Latin America, the App Store from  Nokia OVI has over 20.00 Apps. Samsung tablet Apps and Sony Ericsson uses Symbian as platform for their apps and Nokia plans to launch a great campaign and it  will be introduce to the American public in April 2011. Nokia entered the American Rodeo with the C7 model on T Mobile network platform and AT & T a sign a huge contract with Nokia to  expanded the range of Phone Win 7 with a new model  Nokia is developing.

It has become such a great success is the diversification and   apps integration;  Apple has develop a window dedicated to the Apps in its new operating system Mac OS X "Lion," scheduled for release in summer 2011 and the monitor will not be need to be touch with your finger nor be a need to pin point  the icon with the mouse, the answer for that, is Apple’s approach in the  Mac Lion OSx developed over a dozen new gestures and the possibility of exchanging gestures,  to use  such gestures and gesticulations in Mac is as simple as simple movements we do with our fingers over  the mouse pad, with either a single finger, or with two or three fingers together in all four directions, in addition to the pinch, the claw and expansion, this last one, being used exclusively for humans, because  we are the only species to Use our thumb and forefinger to clamp.

No doubt Apple's operating systems continue to lead this year in its two strongest  branches, personal computer with Mac OS X for Desktops, Laptops and Notebooks and iOS for iPhone, iPod and iPad respectively, while Microsoft is still the Chief in Corporate Business branch servers and sources of global mass distribution and NASA.
