Over the past decade, Google has become the dominant force on the web, processing over one billion search requests per day.  However, Google’s web dominance only extends to desktop PCs, which are slowly being replaced by mobile devices, with over 3 times more mobile devices than desktops being sold each year.  The Android is Google strategy to extend its reach into the rapidly expanding mobile market.

The open source property of Android is Google’s unique selling point. Google recognised that the mobile experience on the most part is inferior to the desktop experience due to the restrictions placed on mobile application developers.  Apple, the manufacturers of the iPhone have been known to refuse to approve third party programs because they replace integrated features of the iPhone. Android is a completely open platform that will allow developers to create applications that call upon the use of any of a handset’s core features.  Android also aims to give developers the tools to innovate by allowing applications to combine information from a variety of sources such as the internet or other mobile device users.

The Android operating system aims to bring the experience users enjoy on desktop PCs to the mobile world. Mobile devices operate on a closed system where only applications approved by the manufacturer can be installed on devices. Mobile applications developers are usually forced to obtain code-signing certificates, which cost both time and money. With Android, developers will be able to install any application they develop instantly. The reduction in development costs will open up the market to new developers. Since Android’s success hinges on how third party developers react to the open system, the more developers able to develop for the system, the better for Google.
Google has a 16 billion dollar advertising empire on the web and seeks to transfer this to mobile devices. Although smaller screens pose a challenge to advertising space, mobile devices also offer new opportunities, as due to their mobile nature location based adverting can be used to market nearby services to potential customers. All Android devices will be constantly connected to the web to take advantage of location-based services.

For all the promise of Android, there are several barriers to its success, some of which have already begun to affect its chances of success.  The biggest barrier to Android’s success is the sluggishness with which network providers are adopting Android devices.  In 2008 when Google launched its first mobile device on T-mobile, it was widely thought that they would quickly enter into partnership with larger mobile network carriers such as Verizon and AT&T. Their failure to do this has resulted in a slow uptake of Android devices by consumers, as T-Mobile is only the fourth largest carrier in the US.

Mobile network providers may also be reluctant to enter into partnership with Google because several applications developed for Android completely circumvent their services resulting in a loss of revenue. The biggest example of this is Google Voice, which allows users to send text messages through their phone’s data plan. This means that there is no need for a Google voice user to have a text-messaging plan with their network since Google Voice offers what is essentially free text messaging.

The Android operating system has also encountered resistance from manufacturers for a number of reasons. Some manufacturers feel that the an open source mobile operating system threatens their own pre-packaged applications as network operators and users will be able to completely re-customise an Android phone, rendering manufacturers’ own applications useless. To compete effectively manufacturers want to be able to differentiate their phones and have a unique identity.

Some manufacturers fear that the emergence of a mobile operating system without any licensing fees could result in an influx of new manufacturers into the market as license fees act as a barrier to entry to new firms. This will result in a loss of market share for the existing firms.

Google’s Android has fulfilled part of the promise it had when it was first unveiled. It has lead to new and innovative applications being developed and allowed more developers to enter the market. However, it is yet to live up to its potential. If it is to succeed Android needs the support of more manufacturers and mobile network providers. In November and December 2009 Verizon and Motorola launched a new phone using Android, which is a step in the right direction. Google has the influence and vision to completely revamp the mobile market and with the help of their hardware partners, they are likely to succeed.

Windows Mobile phones have evolved from passive one-to-one communication device to powerful hand held computing device. Today most new mobile phones are capable of capturing images, recording video, and browsing internet and do much more. Exciting new social applications are emerging on mobile landscape, like, business card readers, sing detectors and translators. These applications help people quickly gather the information in digital format and interpret them without the need of carrying laptops or tablet PCs. However with all these advancements we find very few open source software available for mobile phones. For instance currently there are many open source OCR engines for desktop platform but, to our knowledge, none are available on mobile platform. Keeping this in perspective we propose a complete text detection and recognition system with speech synthesis ability, using existing desktop technology. In this work we developed a complete OCR framework with subsystems from open source desktop community. This includes a popular open source OCR engine named Tesseract for text detection & recognition and Flite speech synthesis module, for adding text-to speech ability.

Mobile and compact devices become more and more popular in our society. Each of us faces with them every day. Certainly each of us has mobile phone, hand-held computers or other hi-tech devices. All of these devices have different mobile platforms. There are such known platforms as Windows Mobile, iPhone, BlackBerry, Symbian OS, Android etc. All of them have different history and advantages and failings.

Such platforms as Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and iPhone are «closed» enough and limited by either their own devices (BlackBerry, iPhone) or development complexity. Among other problems of above mentioned platforms there is limited API. Even Java platform for mobile devices has some failings such as great number of limitations; very different APIs; device dependent code. Symbian and Windows Mobile platforms are better from this point as far as they support wider range of devices and their APIs give more options. Common problem here is also that there are a lot of platforms. Talking about Open Source and Cross-Platform solutions we should say that they are still developing at the moment and are not widespread yet.

Purpose of Mobile framework:

The purpose of a mobile framework is to utilize a standards-based architecture that leverages existing IT infrastructure and maximizes return on investment. Such a framework is relatively easily deployed and extends enterprise content to mobile users with both good quality and user experience. The purpose of a mobile framework is somewhat different from actual mobile development tools, which are specifically used to develop mobile applications. Mobile frameworks extend existing applications (such as Customer Resource Management (CRM) to mobile workforces and their devices. Just make sure the mobile framework is truly a mobile framework.

 

 

Unless you’ve spent the last few months trapped in a cave you will undoubtedly have seen, read or heard that “cloud computing” is on its way and is likely to affect the way that many of us use our computers and interact with the internet over the coming years.  Much has been written elsewhere about the implications of cloud computing in general and whether it is indeed destined to transform the way we use the web but, at this juncture, I am particularly interested in exploring what the impact of cloud computing will be on mobile applications.

For the uninitiated, it is probably worth reiterating briefly the key characteristics of cloud computing. In layman’s terms, cloud computing simply refers to the use of powerful shared computing resources which are accessed remotely, typically via a web browser over the internet. Users don’t need to know (or care) where the servers are located or where the programs they are using are running – they just need access to a web browser to use the service from anywhere in the world. In practice, the term cloud computing has grown to refer to a number of related capabilities that can broadly be summarised under following categories:-

i) Infrastructure-as-service “IaaS”

- typically virtual servers (e.g. Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud Servers)

ii) Platform-as-a-service “PaaS”

- various services for software development and deployment (e.g. Google Checkout, Force.com>

iii) Software-as-a-service “SaaS”

- fully hosted applications accessed via a browser (e.g. Webmail, Facebook, Google Apps, Salesforce.com)

It is the last category, SaaS, that I wish to focus on because it represents the visible face of cloud computing that most people have already experienced. The advantages of web-based applications such as Gmail, Twitter, and Facebook are pretty obvious – there’s nothing to download to your PC, you can access them from anywhere, they’re constantly being enhanced and every time updates are made they become instantly available to any user when they next login.

For business applications like Saleforce.com’s online CRM tool there are further advantages – such services are highly configurable and scalable so they can accommodate many different types of client from very small to very large with either simple or highly complex requirements. Furthermore, the commercial model employed by most SaaS suppliers (i.e. monthly subscriptions) is attractive since the cost of entry is low (or zero) and the costs associated with acquiring and maintaining computing infrastructure to host the application are completely eliminated.

So, how will this all affect the use and spread of mobile applications?

Over the past couple of years, we’ve witnessed the unprecedented success of the iPhone and Apple’s App Store and this has clearly demonstrated beyond doubt that there is a voracious appetite for mobile applications. Apple has led the way, but we are now seeing a plethora of competing app stores being announced by other players. Notable examples include Google’s Android Marketplace, Nokia’s OVI Store, RIM’s Blackberry App World, Symbian’s Horizon, Microsoft’s Marketplace and the Samsung Application Store.

It seems highly unlikely to me that all these initiatives can succeed, but at the same time, it is a healthy sign that consumers will have more choice, and a wide range of applications will become available to users of many different types of mobile (i.e. not just the iPhone). However, in this new world, where users of all device types (from the humblest Pay-as-you-Go handset to the latest, feature-laden Smartphone) are able to access mobile applications I believe that downloading them from app stores is not the only way forwards.

The cloud computing model provides a highly attractive alternative which actually turns out to be ideal for supporting (relatively) low powered computing devices like mobile handsets. Whilst power-users with top-of-the-range Smartphones may be perfectly happy downloading apps, the “average” user with a basic handset is likely to find that using cloud based applications via a browser is both easier and far better suited to the limitations of their phone. Less computing horsepower and less storage is needed and, as mobile network operators continue to increase data speeds, performance can only get better and better. Already today there are some fine examples of cloud based mobile applications such as Gmail’s mobile portal which provides an excellent email experience entirely via a browser.

Another significant factor to consider is that as the mobile application market matures many commercial organisations will recognise the need to mobilise core business applications. Unlike the majority of “apps” that are being downloaded today, most business applications are more complex and sophisticated and they require proper integration with back-end systems. The SaaS model of delivery described above is therefore ideal for this category of application and will work equally well for mobile devices because of the “zero footprint” required on the handset coupled with the flexibility and scalability available when hosting the application in the cloud.

Over the next couple of years, we are also likely to see a number of technology enhancements which will continue to encourage the development of cloud based mobile applications. Open standards such as BONDI, OneAPI and HTML5 will all help, making it easier for developers to build cloud based applications that can be used across a wide range of mobile devices.

In summary therefore, I predict that cloud computing is highly relevant to the world of mobile applications, is particularly well suited to serving the large numbers of mobile users who do not possess a Smartphone and that it is likely to become a parallel medium for delivering mobile applications to rival the app store approach.  Welcome to the cloud!

Reigning-in the Purse strings

Aside from the recession affecting house prices, interest rates and unemployment, the smaller sacrifices that people are being forced to make are the more noticeable ones, for instance, cutting back on luxury holidays, takeaway food and trips to the theatre. These are just a few common past-times taking a blow in recent months.

Presently, we can accomplish a lot more online then what could be done only a few years back. At the beginning of the decade, emailing and chatting were considered to be the most advanced applications of the Internet technology. However, the bar is being raised at a rapid pace and we now have things like Wikipedia, Facebook, Flickr and the list goes on. Innovation at such large scale has been made possible by rapid evolution of the web technology. So, with the end of the first decade of this millennium it seems worth the while to take a look at the technology that defined the last decade.

Social Networking is perhaps the biggest thing to have happened to the Internet in the last decade. The concept became popular with the launch of sites like Facebook and Orkut. In a very short span of time these sites had acquired millions of members. Apart from being a platform for friends and family to get together, social networking sites also made collaboration of people having common interests possible.

Blogging is the second big thing to social networking. With the advent of blogging platforms like WordPress and Blogger, people could create an online version of their daily diary and share it with the world. Blogging also provided a ground work for professionals and domain experts to share their knowledge with the world.

Launched in 2001, Wikipedia emerged as the first community developed free online encyclopedia. With more the3 million articles in the English Wikipedia alone, this free online article repository has become a colossal epitome of human knowledge. It is the 5th most popular website on the Internet and a great number of people now depend on it for quality information. Similar in concept to Wikipedia, websites such as Slideshare and Scribd help people share their documents and presentations with the world.

The advent of online banking and trading has made life enormously convenient for people all over the globe. You no longer have to queue at the bank or visit the crowded trading floor of a stock market. Online trading portals not only provide real-time trading information, but they also facilitate real-time transactions. To help traders make an informed decision with respect to purchase or sale of stocks, trading sites present current and historical price data in form of charts. These charts are generated using Flash charting components which automatically extract data form a centrally updated database.

The discussion on web technology will remain incomplete, if due recognition is not given to Flash charting technology. The concept of Flash charting was non-existent until 2002, when FusionCharts first came on to the scene. Currently the market is flooded with many types of Flash charting components and some which are compatible with a wide range of server side technologies such as ASP, PHP, ASP.NET etc.

A Flash charting component is essential web development software which makes web based service portals truly interactive. FusionCharts is an industry leading flash charting component which supports ASP, PHP and ASP.NET technologies.
