By now almost everyone on the planet knows that Apple’s iPhone is a reasonable gaming device, especially for casual gamers, but what if it could handle Xbox 360 games? According to latest reports, it seems that Novell has demonstrated a new way to turn Xbox 360 games into iPhone apps, and there is a chance that Google’s Android will be able to join in on the action too. With Windows Phone 7 Series due later this year, one of the mean features will certainly be its ability to offer Xbox 360 games, but what would happen to it if the iPhone could also offer Xbox 360 games, and possibly sooner too. Would you be looking forward to increased gaming capabilities on Apple’s iPhone, or do you think that the games that are currently available in the App Store are good enough?

I’m here in Austin, Texas, where MOG CEO David Hyman is introducing the service’s new mobile functionality. This is a major step for MOG, and may be an inflection point in the success of the service. Up until now, users have been restricted to using MOG’s streaming music service on their computers. That’s fine for casual listening at work, but as we’ve seen with the success of the mobile versions of Pandora, users want mobile. And that’s what MOG is unveiling today. Read below for my notes.

Hyman kicked off the talk with some background information. MOG Music Network, the editorial-based site hosted at MOG.com reaches 16 million unique visitors a month. In December, the company launched MOG ALL ACCESS, its streaming music service that costs $5/month for all-you-can-eat streaming music. The company is getting 17% conversion from its 3 day free trial (which is high). MOG, Hyman says, is a music service people will actually pay for. But the key, he says, will be portability.

MOG’s mobile applications for Android and iPhone will launch in Q2, featuring on-demand streams, downloads, MOG Radio, your library and playlists, High Quality audio, and a $10/month price tag.

Recent data from mobile analytics firm Flurry shows iPhone OS developer activity has increased by 185% since Apple announced their upcoming slate computing device known as the iPad earlier this year. By measuring new application starts within the Flurry community, the firm was able to determine significant increases in developer activity, including the largest spike ever in their recorded history during the month of January after the announcement occurred. The growth continued in February and now the company reports that a large proportion of the new applications they are seeing are custom version of existing applications tailored specifically for use on the iPad.

When Apple began taking pre-orders for the iPad on Friday, March 12th, the Apple.com website was updated with new information about the device. One of the most significant reveals was that iPad applications would soon have their own dedicated section within the iTunes App Store. The website text reads:

Browse a section of the store that features apps designed specifically for iPad. You'll find hundreds that make the most of its large display, responsive performance, and Multi-Touch interface.

Although current iPhone applications will work on the new Apple device without modifications, developers who want to take advantage of the larger screen could use the updated iPhone SDK (software development kit) to modify their apps in order to release custom iPad-only versions. Now it appears that those who chose to do so will be rewarded for their efforts by having their apps made more visible via this new section of the iTunes Store. Considering that the number of  iPhone apps now in existence is somewhere near 140,000, being able to achieve this increased visibility will allow developers "the opportunity to establish an early presence on this new device and drive more downloads," says Flurry.

Last week, we took a look at some of the iPad applications we're looking forward to, including things like comic books, magazines and games, but there's clearly a lot of others we haven't even anticipated yet. We're only days away from knowing what those will be: Apple's iPad will be available for sale starting April 3rd, and along with its launch, the new iPad App Store will go live as well.

Discuss

Apple is rapidly widening the gap between its app platform and Facebook, new data from Flurry found today. Although the gap was relatively small about five months into the app portals' respective lifespans, by the 1.5 year mark Apple now has more than twice as many apps. The iPhone App Store's 140,000 confirmed apps easily outweigh the 60,000 web-based apps of Facebook's social network....

While we know that Nintendo will definitely roll out a spiritual sequel to the Nintendo DS platform, we still don't know what the official name would be, so Nintendo DS 2 would have to do for the moment. Needless to say, an updated version ought to feature larger displays compared to the current DSi and DS XL, where you can use these displays as separate ones or one huge one. Of course, the resolution count would be improved as well, alongside the introduction of an accelerometer to help it keep up with the iPhone in terms of portable gaming. Perhaps E3 this year would be the platform where the DS 2 would be announced?

At this moment, Microsoft is kicking off what is probably the most important MIX conference since 2006, with three make-or-break developments in key product categories taking the spotlight. Since January, the company has dished up a very cloudy picture of Windows Phone, and I don't mean in the sense of "cloud computing." That incomplete picture of the company's newly bifurcated roadmap was perhaps intended to spark anticipation and excitement, but instead in some quarters, it's sparked outright anger: What is the system that we now know to be Windows Mobile, supposed to become?

Windows Phone, and Windows Other Phone. At CES, we were told to expect the future of Windows Mobile. Correction, we were told later, it's not Windows Mobile. That particular episode was reminiscent of a 1970s detergent commercial: No, Mrs. Clawson, you're not using Tide, you're using new improved Tide! So we had a cute little name change. Correction, no we didn't, because New Improved and Classic will co-exist. But will they be compatible? Well, suppose Classic edition is called "Starter Series," or something to that end. If you start at one end of the product line, that naturally implies you're progressing to the other end, and that implies compatibility, right? Sure. Correction, not necessarily.

So what are the developers, developers, developers who comprise the audience of MIX 2010 supposed to do? How do they plan their projects? What do they develop for? Does Windows Phone 7 Series have a specific "interface," but for "Starter Edition" or "6 Series" or whatever it ends up being called, they use whatever the phone manufacturer decides? And whose apps marketplace does a "6 Series" app go to? Will we get answers today, or corrections?

Internet Explorer 9 is expected to be demonstrated at length tomorrow, though we may get some glimpses of it today. It's probable that MIX attendees may be the first to get their hands on the early code, with MSDN and TechNet subscribers next -- it would be a surprise if a public beta were to be released first before the developers see it.

What we expect from IE9 is more features under the hood than on top of it. Microsoft has been promising to build a more efficient and more standards-compliant browser this time around, but at this point, it would need a total replacement to become competitive in those departments against Firefox, Chrome, and now Opera. Some have advised Microsoft that a total replacement is indeed easy to do, if it were to embrace the open source WebKit engine used by Safari and Chrome (and soon to be partly embraced by Firefox). Adopting open source may be against Microsoft's genetics, but certainly its development team knows the browser field has become extremely competitive in the past year, and that Microsoft lags far behind.

Expect a warm embrace of the concept of HTML5 -- the next generation Web language, whose first complete working draft was published earlier this month with Microsoft playing a role. But in terms of the broader concept of Web standards, expect the company to continue its policy of "cafeteria compliance" -- warmly embracing some segments, and with others (such as high Acid3 scores), casting doubt as to the legitimacy or authenticity or public acceptance. ("Who writes these standards anyway?" was one message we heard frequently at last year's PDC.)

Silverlight will also be important this week because developers are expecting a cross-platform bonanza. Specifically, they've been led to believe there will be a breakthrough in mobile Web-driven video across a wide spectrum of new platforms, including this time Symbian. Last year at PDC, we saw the first glimpses of Silverlight video on iPhone, delivering the kind of quality developers know is feasible from Flash, if only politics didn't continue to stand between Apple and Adobe. It's ironic that Microsoft should have fewer boundaries between it and Apple than does Adobe...but not extraordinarily ironic, given the three companies' histories.

The whole cross-platform question will come full-circle this week with the issue of Silverlight on Windows Phone. Developers already know they'll be able to use Silverlight as both an applications and video platform for 7 Series, but what does this mean for "Other Phone?" If Silverlight can run 1080-line HD video with .NET speed and efficiency on what we've called Windows Mobile 6 in the past, then why shouldn't it? Wouldn't any barriers preventing it from doing so, be artificial?

These are the three questions which Microsoft may or may not answer this week, but we do know it will respond -- and how it responds could set the course of the company, and of Web development in turn, for the next several years.

Aunque la mayoría de las veces el análisis del Nexus One se realiza en comparación con el iPhone, quizás merezca la pena ampliar un poco el escenario de la competencia y empezar a pensar en Android para el usuario profesional que hoy día elige Blackberry. Vayamos por partes, llevo un par de semanas probando el Nexus One de Google y, en mi opinión, estamos ante el mejor Android del mercado y también como el terminal que mejor ejemplifica la competencia por construir un iPhone con esteroides. Este teléfono lo es: mueve el sistema con una fluidez estupenda, está dotado con una pantalla de precisión notable (aunque todavía mejorable) y en términos de usabilidad viene acompañado de algunas funcionalidades muy bien resueltas, como la gestión de notificaciones.

Una visión más a fondo podemos encontrarla en el análisis de Susana en Xataka Móvil, a mi me ha interesado más el aspecto "integrador del universo Google" del terminal. Aunque Android por especificaciones buscó desde el primer momento el mercado de consumo - priozando la pantalla táctil y el navegador web frente a temas como el soporte de Exchange - Nexus One es un ejemplo de cómo Google puede entender el teléfono móvil como un "caballo de troya" en el mercado corporativo, con vistas a conseguir que su línea de negocio de aplicaciones sea empujada desde ahí. Si unimos el éxito fulgurante de RIM y sus Blackberrys en los últimos años, con la cada vez mayor demanda de aspectos del mercado de consumo en el corporativo (algo que desde RIM han cuidado a su ritmo, incluyendo desde cámara hasta reproductor de música o el recién anunciado nuevo navegador web) y sin olvidarnos que los terminales que mueven Android son de precio medio / alto, tenemos que el mercado inmediato tras empezar a disputar al de "usuarios geeks avanzados" debería ser el de profesionales.

El mercado corporativo no es plaza fácil, los departamentos de TI no suelen estar "locos por administrar lo último", más bien al contrario. Además propuestas como Nexus One se quedan cortas, se echa en falta lo que para mí configuraría una de las propuestas más atractivas del mercado a día de hoy: un Android con teclado físico. Hay uno en el mercado - Milestone de Motorola - que va a ser el próximo en pasar por mis manos, a primera vista el teclado no está todo lo bien resuelto que me gustaría.

Qui n'a pas un jour rêvé d'une fonctionnalité de ce type ? Il n'y a rien de plus embarrassant qu'un téléphone qui se met à vibrer ou sonner alors que certaines situations requièrent un silence total. Après l'iPhone unibody découvert il y a deux jours (voir dépêche : Apple dépose l'iPhone unibody), voilà un nouveau brevet qui pourrait apparaître dans un prochain téléphone ou système mobile d'Apple.



En cas de vibration ou sonnerie indésirable, il suffirait à l'utilisateur de frapper son téléphone une ou deux fois, pour stopper l'alerte, ou activer le mode silencieux définitivement. La fonctionnalité utiliserait les accéléromètres de l'iPhone, qui seraient capables de différencier une frappe d'un mouvement brusque pour, par exemple, sortir l'appareil de la poche.

Let's get this out of the way right up front: the estimated number of iPads sold in the first 72 hours is nowhere near official. And if the numbers hadn't been scraped together by a well known amateur Apple analyst who regularly trumps the pros then we'd be skipping the fruits of his black magic algorithms altogether. Nevertheless, Daniel Tello (aka, Deagol), has applied his proven approach of extrapolating Apple web order numbers to come up with a 120,000 total for first day iPad sales that slowed to 152,000 after 72 hours (not including iPads reserved for pick-up). Tello told Fortune, "My best guess, although very tentative given the early stage and few data we have so far, would be that they hit the 1 million unit milestone by the second week after it ships." For those keeping track, it took the original iPhone 74 days to hit 1 million. Quite an accomplishment if these numbers pan out (and that's a big if!) considering that only 3 to 4 million tablets are sold globally each year.

iPad pre-orders estimated at over 150,000 -- possibly ahead of iPhone rate originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:17:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

New data from mobile application tracker Flurry reveals that 20% of the companies building iPhone applications started business specifically for the iPhone platform.

Flurry analyized the origins of iPhone developers. The largest amount of developers were Web companies, like Google or eBay. The next largest was independent developers that decided to take a chance on the App Store.

The App Store has produced plenty of success stories for small developers, but as the apps market grows, it could become harder for these developers. Flurry says established companies with more marketing muscle are entering the store, which could push the indy developers to the fringe.

Despite the fact that it will be two years old this summer and now has more than 150,000 applications, Apple's App Store for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad remains a place where startups and independent software creators have a fair shot at success.

As Apple goes on the offensive against Android, it risks alienating more and more developers. Today, another prominent developer is chose the opposing side. Tim Bray, the well-known software architect and blogger, is joining Google to help rally even more developers around the Android mobile operating system.

Bray is the co-inventor of the XML Web standard, and most recently worked at Sun Microsystems. In a blog post, he explains that he is drawn to Google in part because he hates the iPhone, or at least its closed and controlling environment from a developer’s perspective.

The iPhone vision of the mobile Internet’s future omits controversy, sex, and freedom, but includes strict limits on who can know what and who can say what. It’s a sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers. The people who create the apps serve at the landlord’s pleasure and fear his anger.

I hate it.

He also notes that Android is catching up to the iPhone in terms of sales:

As of now, they’re selling around 90K iPhones per day compared to around 60K Android handsets. It’s a horse race!

In February, Google noted partners are selling 60,000 Android handsets a day, and Apple sold 8.7 million iPhones last quarter, or about 97,000 a day. Android is making steady gains in market share.

Bray’s decision to throw his hat into the Android ring is just the latest example of a growing backlash among developers to Apple’s autocratic ways. Facebook developer Joe Hewitt famously quit the iPhone over similar issues. Apple cannot afford to alienate developers because, given the choice, they will shift their attention and their apps to other platforms.

If you're old enough to remember taping songs from the radio, you'll immediately recognize how cool Snowtape is. It's an OS X app that lets you easily find, listen to and record from online radio stations. It's like the combination radio/tape deck of the future! If you were fortunate enough to come of age in the age of the mp3, then just think of Snowtape as the awesome "record" button that iTunes doesn't have.

Snowtape doesn't just play and record, though. It also lets you name, tag and add album art to your recorded audio files, so they'll fit right in with iTunes or your iPod. It has other perks, too, like the ability to schedule a recording using iCal, in case you're worried about missing a favorite radio show. Snowtape makes discovering new favorites easier, too, by building in a directory of stations, and allowing users to add their own stations to the list.

If you need more proof that Snowtape is a really well-thought-out app, check out the integrated editing feature that lets you trim the beginning and end of your recordings. There's even a companion iPhone app! If anybody needs me, I'll just be over here in my rocking chair, listening to Snowtape and reminiscing about what a pain it was to edit radio mixtapes by recording silence over the extraneous bits.
