2010 Google IO Session Videos

July 26, 2010

I am new to Android development, and I have been developing for the iOS platform for over a year now. I am one of these people that buys and reads a bunch of books and watching a ton of how-to videos online. I found these 2010 Google IO sessions videos online the other day and thought I would share them.

Android developer builds a video chat concept app

July 24, 2010

I saw this video on Engadget earlier today, where an Android developer is using Adobe Air to build an IM application.  This application allows connected phones to share their video camera.  The developer makes one interesting note in the video, where Adobe has AI to recognize when the video image changes or not.  So, if the video image stays the same when the phone is not moved, bandwidth is reduced because the video feed is not changing.

So, how sharp is the screen on the iPhone4

June 13, 2010

I bought a 4GB iPhone 2G a month after they first came out at the discounted price. Then a few months after the 3G model came out, I picked up a 8GB model and have been using it since. I am planning to pre-order a iPhone4 16GB model next week. I have wanting to see some high res photos of the new and old screens side by side, so you can get a goo idea of the true screen resolution, not all the blog crops that keep coming up.

Well, Robert Scoble has a very high resolution image of the new iPhone4 screen and it is pretty impressive.

A few great sites for online learning

June 11, 2010

This will be a short post, but I wanted to share with you some great sites for online learning.

If you are new to the Mac, or have been using it some and want to learn more. There is a new site called Tech University which has numerous how to videos on Mac software and the OS. Some are free and a good number require a subscription, but the site is worth checking out.
http://techuniversity.com/

Two of my favorite iTunesU schools are Stanford and MIT. I have followed the iPhone Developer course from Stanford twice, and the Walter Lewin’s Physics course videos from MIT are excellent. If you can not learn from them and be entertained as well, something is wrong.

iPhone 4 with more 3G bands, whats up??

June 11, 2010

A small thing about the new iPhone 4 that was not mentioned during the keynote on Monday, and was not really noticed until the next day. And I did not see many blogs or analysts talking about it until yesterday was that the new iPhone support new 3G bands, 900MHz and maybe 1700MHz. In the USA, AT&T uses 850MHz and 1900MHz and T-Mobile uses 1700MHz and 2100MHz.

Apple’s own website only lists 800, 900, 1900 and 2100, but the FCC also lists 1700. Having 1700 would be a big plus in the US, as that is the main 3G band that T-Mobile uses. The addition of 900 will be a big plus outside of the US, and from a few blogs I have read, many people appear to be very happy about this.

Here is just one article I found mentioning this as well.
