New Apple Tech

What is new in the world of apps? Apple reports that iphone and ipod touch users have downloaded over 3 billions apps since the app store launched 18 months ago. 3 billions is well over the bench mark apple CEO steve jobs ever imagined. Apple’s iPhone has more than 100,000 applications.

There are over two million developers using Adobe Flash, and soon they will be able to convert their applications into iPhone apps automatically. Adobe is adding “Packager for iPhone” to its Flash developer tools. Included in Flash Professional CS5 (Creative Suite 5), the software is currently in private beta testing. The iPhone does not support Flash; however ActionScript 3 projects will run as native iPhone apps after conversion. Several iPhone apps that have been developed using ActionScript 3 are currently available on the Apple App Store. New code can be written or existing web content can be repackaged as an iPhone app.

iWebTrack Holdings Inc., has recently launched a mobile web tracking application of their web analytics tool iWebTrack, www.iwebtrack.com, designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch. iWebTrack customers can now get real-time statistics on the fly with the new iPhone mobile application. iWebTrack’s new mobile web tracking application allows customers to access crucial information including page views, unique visitors, hourly statistics, conversions, and much more directly from their iPhone. In addition to the iPhone mobile application, iWebTrack also offers mobile web tracking applications for Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices thus continuing to give competitors such as Indextools, Clicktracks, and WebTrends a run for their money.

The MobileMe Gallery app (iTunes link) lets users select an album with a tap and flick back and forth through photos, pinch to zoom, or rotate into landscape view. The software also automatically stores photos that have been viewed, so they can be accessed again even without a network connection. Friends’ publicly shared content can also be accessed by choosing their name from contacts or entering their MobileMe member name. It also includes a scrolling sampler at the top that gives users access to recent photos.

Security Cam, this is an iPhone app which had to wait for over a year to be approved and available in Appstore, the name is Security Cam, the approval delay is understandable since the idea of the app could be troubling to some people. With Security Cam, you can spy on people by taking their pictures without their notice, the app is for security purpose but at the same time can also raise privacy issue, and certainly not all people want to be monitored secretly while doing non-public activity.

Security Cam Applications gives two spying modes:

1. Frequency capture, with this mode you are able to set a specific frequency on how often you want the app takes a photo

2. Audio Trigger, this mode takes the photo when the audio level is reached – or pre-defined level of sound is detected

You are also able to select the two modes at the same time, taking the picture on a time interval and audio is detected, but of course that could effect to iPhone battery, therefore you can set iPhone to go into sleep mode until a specific time.

“Apple’s commanding lead in the mobile software space has led to a blistering pace of downloads from its App Store. Tuesday, Apple announced that its App Store downloads topped 3 billion. It was just 99 days before that when Apple announced the 2 billion threshold had been crossed. Over that span, applications were downloaded at a rate of more than 10.1 million per day”.
