RIM Will Reward BB10 Devs with $100 Per Android App Ported


121226-bb



One of the reasons why the BlackBerry platform has waned in recent years is the lack of apps. While iOS and Android continue to grow their selection, BlackBerry has fallen behind. RIM doesn’t want a repeat performance of that with their upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform and that’s why they promised it would launch with at least 70,000 apps. So, how are they going to get there?

Research in Motion has announced a virtual event called Android Port-A-Thon. The idea here is to get developers to port their Android apps over to BlackBerry 10 and RIM is willing to pay you to do it. For every paid app that is successfully ported and approved, RIM will pay you a cool sum of $100. That’s per app, up to a maximum of 20 apps per vendor.

Furthermore, if you port at least five apps, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Device. They have 100 of those to give away. Every eligible app that you submit over that minimum of five will net you one extra entry in this draw. So, if you hit that maximum of 20 apps above, you’ll earn yourself $2,000 and 16 entries into the Dev Alpha Device draw.

The BlackBerry Developer Blog has more details, including how you can go about with the app porting process from Android. There are links to guides and tools and such. Android Port-A-Thon starts on January 11, 2013 at 12pm EST and runs for 36 hours. You must log in and port during that time to net the rewards.

MobiPixie Review: Photography goes Social

As smartphones get increasingly advanced, we have become more dependent on our mobile phone cameras for clicking pictures and capturing memorable moments.

Photo-sharing apps are great, not just at an individual level, but are great tools that small businesses can leverage as well. It’s a superb way for businesses to connect with their consumers and keep them updated about the latest products being launched. Businesses can use mobipixie to create to connect and engage with their customers.

A Tool For Small Businesses

Small businesses can benefit by using photo-sharing apps to create personalized e-cards for their customers and build a better rapport with their top clients.

With Mobipixie they can also build their brand value by incorporating product pictures or behind the scenes pictures in their e-cards.

The app makes creating attractive e-cards and sharing them with customers cost-effective and easy.

How Does MobiPixie Work?

The mobile app, MobiPixie, takes this a step further, letting users share the photos they click with their social networks and even design custom greeting cards with these photos. With this app, users can now share with their social networks pictures they click almost instantaneously, letting their world know what all they see and experience.


What’s So Great About The App?

It’s a cloud-based solution that lets users manage their photos more conveniently through their phones, and share them with social groups that they can create. The best thing about these social groups is that users have complete control over which users in their networks get to view their photos.

It’s also a social network in itself, where users can find their friends or invite friends to join, and even search for photos uploaded by their friends.

The app also comes with an inbuilt Flash-based tool that lets users design their own greeting cards using the photos they click. Users can edit the images while creating the greeting cards and even add their own personalized messages to the cards.

These cards can be shared directly with other users as e-cards or printed out to be used as regular greeting cards. One of the best features about the app is the integration with Facebook so that users can directly post these greeting cards onto their friends’ walls.

The Downside

The only downside we could find in the app is the limitation in terms of enhancing the images clicked. In the age of Instagram where users can apply automatic filters and effects to bring out the best in their images, we only wish MobiPixie could also let users magically enhance their images in a similar manner. Hopefully, that’s something the developers’ team is working on and we can find auto-effects in the upcoming versions of this app.

MobiPixie is also available as a web application, and although originally designed as an Android app, has recently been made available to iPhone users as well. The development team has also announced that BlackBerry users will soon get this app as well.

image.axd
The maker of BlackBerry Smartphone’s, Research in Motion (RIM), has today renewed the BlackBerry 10 information page. The Company has included couple of videos which focus on and explain what BlackBerry Hub is all about. Before the formal launch on January 30th, 2013, users can leave their Email Ids and RIM will send users all the latest news and more updates on the BlackBerry 10 OS.

The most interesting thing at the information page is that RIM has teased possibly the full-touch L-Series BlackBerry 10 Smartphone. While majority of the phone is in shadow, the rear facing camera and the flash of the Smartphone are visible.

Another interesting thing that we can notice is the back cover of the L-Series is display with texture. While many leaks have only showed us that the rear cover is simple, the image used on the page hints that the final design might give the L-Series BB10 Smartphone a splendid feel. The new tagline for BlackBerry 10 is “Re-designed. Re-engineered. Re-invented”.

Gundotra stated," Google+ also will be adding a new feature called "Communities," which makes the "hangouts" feature of the social network into permanent locations".

He further added, "Google+ has always been a place to crowd around common interests and meet new people. What's been missing, however, are more permanent homes for all the stuff you love: the wonderful, the weird, and yes, even the things that are way out there. With Google+ Communities there's now a gathering place for your passions".
