This Week in Technology February 12: Apple ® ®, Facebook, Google Android ™ ® Development

Last week we covered only Google, but this week we spread the love around a bit more and share what is happening to some other names great. In an effort to be fair, we'll go alphabetically.

Apple

This week Apple had an interesting announcement. No, not another iDevice, "but it is linked. In fact, recent research shows that the Apple iPhone ™ ® is now more popular than Nintendo ® DS ™ and Sony ® PSP as a gaming device. This is huge news for application developers and for those who continue to weigh the value of an app for their business.

As if we did not already recognize the iPhone as a platform very popular (Not to mention the iPod Touch and iPad, which also use the same platform OS 3.2 and are compatible with all iPhone apps), we now growing evidence that developing applications can be very profitable, and the benefits for individual developers can possibly compete with the developers of games for the DS and PSP.

Here at Amadeus Consulting, we already have significant experience on the iPhone and already the development of applications and IPAD. It is always exciting to see the ideas of our customers have new applications and new ways to communicate with their audience. If you think your business could benefit, or if you have a really great idea, swing by our page Contact us let us know.

Facebook

In addition a new provision, there are some really cool stuff happening in the world of Facebook. All First, a report in Business Week estimates that by 2012 sales of virtual goods reach 3.6 billion, up 1.6 billion this year.

What does this mean? This means that all games of Facebook, widgets and applications are set to make huge amounts money just by selling digital flowers, credits digital Farmville dollars, and other virtual goods. Even if the market for virtual goods extends beyond Facebook, the company is also planning to spread a universal currency that Facebook is used for all applications, as the market for Microsoft Xbox LIVE ®.

Although it is undoubtedly important to note that huge market success does not guarantee the individual success, this forecast gives a boost to investors with a good business plan and a willingness to try something again. In fact, we are really interested in the social development of networked applications, and we'd love to help you develop your idea.

In other Facebook news, there are rumors of changes to come. First, it is rumored that Facebook will be getting its own mail clients, which means that users can get the e-mail a@facebook.com.

Also this week, a partnership with Facebook AOL to integrate Facebook Chat in AIM, and vice versa. This allows users to chat with their AIM buddies and Facebook without having to switch between windows. It also includes Lifestream, which updates and aggregates feeds from many social media sites in the AIM environment and allows users follow the updates and chat with users simultaneously.

Google

It has been a busy week for Google and unfortunately we can not fit everything into one post. However, there are certain things that we're very excited.

First, start the under-reported. Google has tested QR codes television to announce applications. QR codes are bar codes essentially complicated that most smartphones can read (using camera), and providing information over the phone. In this case, Google view QR code in a program on the weather channel, with the message "User Android Scan here."

When users scan the QR code, it leads them to the Android Market ™ App where people could download an official application The Weather Channel.

Although This is definitely not a huge leap in technology, it provides a necessary link between the existing points. It really is just an elegant way to integrate applications and user information in traditional advertising. This could become much more frequent in the future, and could easily be integrated in all "see our new application" ads you see on TV is now (and works for iPhone applications well).

Check our our clients' success story for Alion Science and Technology to see how we leverage technology to code bars for their portable players.

Second in the news related to Google, and probably the largest item of news of the week is Buzz. Like any regular user of Gmail ™ has noticed, Google has built a social media application directly into Gmail. It's a mix between Twitter ™ and Flicker ™, allowing users to post status updates, followed by other users and upload images.

Despite some recent updates Buzz privacy continues to receive criticism due to the difficulty of controlling who can and can not follow you, and because it proclaims that you follow and who follows you as a default. We are very excited to see how changing Buzz, and so far He has been a positive experience for us here. We mentioned last week that Google was opening an app store for Google ™ and other Google services, and it will be interesting to see if they allow third party applications and for Buzz.

We are also eager to see How Google is developing its new acquisition: the search engine social Aardvark. Next week, Google is also set to release Android ™ 2.1, the latest update to the Android platform, providing highly anticipated features. Oh, and Google has added a "Cross-view" for many Events 2010 Olympic Ski ™ which allows users to obtain a first person perspective on many events with Google Maps ™.

In addition, we look forward to next week's Mobile World Congress, the largest trade fair for manufacturers of mobile mobile and related technologies. Stay tuned.
