mPassport Seva Mobile App now available on Windows and Apple iOS platforms

mPassport Seva mobile app which was launched on Android platform is now available for both windows and iOS platforms. mPassport Seva Mobile App enables Indian Citizens to access Passport related information on their Smartphones. This application provides a wide variety of services such as status tracking, locating a Passport Office and other general information.

The application provides information on various steps involved to obtain a passport related service and related phone numbers in case of queries or concerns. The users will be able to search for a Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or District Passport Cell (DPC) in a district where a passport application can be submitted. This can also be searched based on PIN code. For certain States and Districts, the users can search for Police Stations as well.

Users can also track the status of their passport applications by providing File Number and Date of Birth. In case the passport has been dispatched, Delivery Status can also be tracked.

2end Generation Apple iPod touch

In the event that the second-cycle iPod touch acts for the fate bearing of much of the iPod line, iPod sweethearts are in for an exceptionally satisfying destiny. The iPod touch joins together the most fit emphasizes of the iPod with some of the strongest angles of the iPhone into an ace versatile media and event mechanism that would be impeccable for any individual searching for propelled emphasizes, but who doesn’t prefer to undertake the telephone contract connected with the iPhone.

An iPhone without the Telephone

The iPod touch has been depicted as the iPhone without the telephone, which is about correct. The iPod touch doesn’t have the telephone and unit Web access emphasizes or a picture clicker, but in most exceptionally different ways the a few mechanisms are particularly comparative. As a matter of fact, the iPod touch stacks up in opposition to the iPhone quite well on size: its lighter (at 4.05 ounces) and thinner than the iPhone.

In most drastically different methods, the second-cycle iPod touch is virtually indistinguishable to the iPhone 3G (the iPhone 3GS includes some emphasizes and equipment the second-crop touch doesn’t accord): the touchscreen, fittings, systems, and for the most part encounter of utilizing it are quite comparative.

But also, such as the iPhone, the iPod touch packs a ton of usefulness into a humble apparatus: its an iPod, movie player, Online world mechanism that sends message and skims the network, a contact director, and, as a result of the Application Store, a portable film-event prodigy.

Ace Exhibition

So as to uphold all the aforementioned emphasizes, the iPod touch offers hearty fittings. Opening and utilizing provisions is smart and uncommon is the instant when you feel like something is occurrence too inefficiently. In keeping with this punchy appearance, setting up the iPod touch is brisk. A few short strides in iTunes and you’re matching up substance. I matched up 600 tunes – about 2.3 GB – in a blazingly quick 6 moments.

One place that the iPod touch eclipses the iPhone is electric cell existence. While the iPhone electric cell will almost always final a day or a few in ordinary utilize, I was fit to press 32 continuous hours of music playback out of the touchs electric cell. Obviously utilizing the gadget for additional undertakings will empty the electric cell better, but electric storage device existence in that neighborhood to any detectable degree is awe inspiring.

A Versatile Amusement Focus

The iPod is considered, above and beyond whatever else might be available, as a MP3 player and the player in the iPod touch doesn’t frustrate. It offers the now-conventional emphasizes: music, podcast, audiobook playback, CoverFlow or standard searching, and so on. What makes this iPod not the same as others, and substantially more pleasure when scanning great accumulations or the visualization-serious CoverFlow, is its touchscreen. While the Clickwheel was a stupendous innovation for the time is now, having the ability to control the iPod touch basically by touching its screen is propelling.

On top of the iPod, the touch plays movie included by the user or acquired or leased from the iTunes Store with great lucidity and value. When joined together with the apparatus different offers (more on these in a moment), theres just a minor risk that an iPod touch holder can ever be dragged when out on the town with their unit.

Portable Web

The iPod touch is equipped to search the net with the same straightforwardness and offers as the iPhone. Unlike the iPhone, however, the iPod touch can just join to the network by means of WiFi, so its not invariably on the net. Still, the WiFi association is bounty snappy for most requires. The apparatus moreover underpins message.

The iPhones constantly-on Virtual world association is convenient, but it empties electric storage device and summons a somewhat penny on users monthly bills, so for users who won’t consistently should be on the net (or who presently have telephones; teenagers conceivably) the iPod touchs Online world offers are robust.

Application Store Development

However the iPod touch and iPhone impart the same shape and emphasizes, what makes the touch the embodiment of a tragic update from prior iPods is that it runs the iPhone working framework. This implies that it upholds the several many provisions ready through Fruits Application Store.

This expansion makes the as of now-exceptional mechanism a winner. With the vast assortment of applications ready, the development chances for the touch are basically unlimited (and effortless. Applications might be downloaded by means of WiFi, introduced on the unit, and played in simply a few seconds). From expanding its profit applications to gaming, the Application Store includes significant profits.

Portable gaming is conceivably the spot that the iPod touch gleams most. Consolidating the touchscreen, WiFi association, and different sensors, recreations can accord different varieties of imaginative interfaces, from regulating driving amusements by tilting the iPod touch similar to a guiding wheel to tapping the screen to shoot or toss parts.

The portable gaming emphasizes are so robust, actually, that advancing versatile videogame groups like Nintendo are beginning to fear that the touch will cut into their business sectors.

The Few Detriments of the iPod touch

While there are a significant number of worthy offers of the iPod touch, it is not an ideal gadget for every thinking individual.
Case in point:
Unlike the iPhone, the iPod touch doesn’t have a raised-in advanced camera, so no depictions transferred to Flickr while moving or motion pictures made for YouTube at the sunny shore.
Overhauls to the iPod touchs working framework cost cash, frequently US$10-$15.
Forasmuch as it doesn’t have a telephone inside, it doesn’t have a constantly-on network association.
The most towering limit iPod touch is 32GB, which could be excessively humble for countless libraries.

In spite of the aforementioned burdens, the iPod touch is decidedly a skilled multipurpose media and Virtual world unit. It likewise gives off an impression of being the course iPods are heading. Its Fruits most buzz-laden iPod in present times and the one exclusive (thus far, at minimum) that can unfold its practicality through the Application Store. I suspect we’re determined to see different iPod models expanding offers from the second-crop iPod touch in the destiny.

Then again every last trace of the preferred: this is a breathtaking gadget for generally any user, and particularly for these who need the ideal of the iPhone without the a few-year telephone contract.

Problem With Apple Maps A Boon For Third Party Apps

Image representing MapQuest as depicted in Cru...

The problems that Apple has had with its heavily anticipated Apple Maps application for iOS 6 has turned many to the App Store where they could purchase a third party mapping application. Johan-Till Broer, who is a representative of GPS giant Garmin and its Navigon subsidiary, said that sales have increased over the last two weeks because of "the recent interest in map and navigation apps for the iPhone." Till Broer said that Garmin has the advantage of being one of the first third party mapping apps to integrate with Apple Maps and provide public transit information, as well as having a recognizable name thanks to its leading position in the GPS market. Additionally, once it became apparent that Apple Maps needed more work, Apple CEO Tim Cook suggested that iOS 6 users turn to third party services like MapQuest for an alternative to Apple Maps.

The Sears Tower is mis-labeled in Apple Maps

The Garmin rep noted that while free mapping applications have been around well before Apple debuted its mapping service, paid mapping apps have always done very well. Even on Android, where Google Navigation is a native application on the OS, paid mapping apps like Magellan, CoPilot Live, Garmin and Navigon have all been able to ring the ol cash register. Garmin and its Navigon subsidiary both use Google Local Search and Google Street View although both can be downloaded for free from the App Store and Street View is now a feature of the mobile web version of Google Maps.

The bottom line is that third party mapping providers, especially those paid apps offering premium services, have always done well even before iOS 6 brought the beleaguered Apple Maps. Now, the money is flowing in faster and we could see this trend continue even when Apple Maps is re-launched.

Apple Faces Danger From Android

Android is steadily growing its share almost all over the world and remains the world’s most popular operating system, according to the latest report by UK-based analysts from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.

The Kantar report focuses on the state of the mobile market in the United States, the UK and Europe as a whole in the third quarter of 2012.

According to the report,Android leads in the United States, but with less. Its commanding 66.4% share has shrunken down to 57.5%, cannibalized by the growth of the iPhone which now has a 35.7% share. Interestingly, RIM has now become less popular than Windows Phone, but both have a very marginal sub-3% representation in the States.

Outside the States, Android is the market leader growing share. In Great Britain, Android controls 58.2% of the market, followed by the iPhone with 28%.In Europe, Android has an impressive 67.1% while the iPhone is a distant second with 16.5%.

Android remains top dog in US and Europe, market share down however in the States

Interestingly Kantar thinks that for the week or so of availability, the iPhone 5 has swung the stakes in favor of Apple:“We can see that in markets with a large number of existing Apple customers, sales have already seen a significant boost. We expect this momentum to be fully realized in the next set of results,“ Kantar analyst Dominic Sunnebo said.

IPad Air Escaping Apple Reality Distortion Field

At first glance, with the Apple Reality Distortion Field at full power, the iPad Air seems like an impeccable, immaculate device that could only ever be conceived by the magicians at Apple in California. The iPad Air is some 30% lighter and 20% thinner than the iPad that it replaces, while still retaining the same Retina display and 10 hours of battery life. Somehow, just somehow, Apple made us feel that it had yet again pulled off the impossible. In reality, the iPad Air, while very attractive, isn’t remarkable at all. The new Kindle Fire HDX, for example, has a higher-resolution screen, more battery life, weighs less, and even costs less than the iPad Air.

Apple has this amazing ability to dress up mundane advances in software and hardware as remarkable, life-changing features. This isn’t to say that Apple doesn’t have an industry-leading industrial design department and supply chain, but objectively the lead that Apple has over the software, design, and manufacturing departments of other companies is nowhere near as large as we think. This is what we refer to as the Apple Reality Distortion Field (RDF).

The 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX ($400) has a quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC, a 2560×1600 (339 PPI) display, and battery life of between 12 (mixed use) and 18 hours (reading). Perhaps most importantly, though, the HDX is just 7.8mm thick and weighs 374 grams. The iPad Air is slightly thinner (7.5mm), but in almost every other way — weight, resolution, battery life — it is inferior to the HDX. The Snapdragon 800 is perhaps a little slower than the Air’s A7 SoC, depending on the benchmark. It’s also important to note that the iPad Air’s display is 10.1 inches at a 4:3 aspect ratio, while the HDX is only 8.9 inches at 16:10, which works out at around 20% more screen real estate for the iPad. The larger display could explain the iPad Air’s extra heft (469 grams), but the HDX’s svelte dimensions and better battery life are still very noteworthy.

It’s unfair, however, to naively compare the hardware without also looking at the rest of the package — and even the most hardened haters have to admit that Apple has a mighty fine package. Again, to put it in the most simple terms, if Apple didn’t produce devices that look and feel good, and operate almost flawlessly, then the Reality Distortion Field would’ve long ago faded. For those of us outside the RDF, we constantly look for flaws, no matter how small or meaningless, that can be thrown in the face of the Apple devotees — anything, really anything, to deconstruct their blind faith.

Deep down, though, we know such efforts are in vain. It will always be possible to find flaws in Apple’s software and hardware, but it’s evident that they’re ultimately of little or no consequence. Apple’s sales figures continue to swell. New users are trying Apple devices for the first time, being blown away by the experience, and becoming zealots in record quantities. Despite the continuing protestations of detractors who will do or say anything to push Apple from its pedestal, the Reality Distortion Field remains in place and in full effect.

Maybe the RDF isn’t around Apple any more, though. Maybe… the Reality Distortion Field has moved so that it’s now around us, around those who stubbornly refuse to admit how awesome Apple actually is.

Apple IPAD

In case you cant tell by looking at the thing, the iPad does -- indeed -- resemble a large iPhone (actually, more like an iPod touch). The front of the device is a large, smooth piece of glass with no buttons save for the familiar "home" button in a bottom center location. The 9.7-inch display is surrounded by thick black bezel. Around back the look is familiar as well, something of a cross between the back of a 3GS and a MacBook Air -- smooth aluminum which slightly curves and tapers along the sides. On the top of the iPad theres a power / sleep button on the right and a headphone jack on the left, while along the right side youve got a volume rocker and sound kill switch. On the bottom of the pad is a 30-pin dock connector jack and speaker vents.

Apple iPad hands-on

In your hands, you can definitely feel the 1.5 pounds of weight the iPad carries. Its not super heavy, but it has a healthy solidness to it. The aluminum is welcoming to touch and hold, though the glass (as you would imagine) is a magnet for smudges. Just expect to be wiping this thing clean a lot. One handed operation is definitely the name of the game for the iPad unless youre sitting, so expect to be holding it with one hand while navigating with the other. When youre seated, its clear Apple has two use cases in mind: on the lap, or on a table. Both work easily enough, though its going to take some getting used to when it comes to typing.

Apple iPad hands-on, part 2

Software

The iPad is running a modified version of the iPhone OS (3.2 at this point), which has some new user interface additions (and allows apps to be coded for that bigger screen). The biggest changes to the software come in the form of new contextual drop-down menus in applications, split screen app display (as we saw in the mail application), and modal pop-overs (little windows that snap up over your current work area -- as seen in the iTunes store). Specific changes to applications are abundant, as pretty much every installed app has been upgraded and recoded for the larger screen, including mail, calendar, Mobile Safari, the iTunes and App Stores, photos, YouTube, and more. There are also two new apps: iBooks, an e-reader application, and its accompanying store, which lets you download books right to the device. The store interfaces are much more robust than their iPhone counterparts, now feeling more closely related to the desktop versions. Interestingly, Apple didnt include its stock or weather applications on the demo units we saw, and theyre not present on the official site.

Theres no phone or SMS functionality on this device, and no iChat, though the iPad can run "almost" (Steves words) all of the 140,000 apps made for the iPhone and iPod touch. It does this in two ways; the first is by running a regular sized version of the app in the center of the screen, and the second way is by scaling up the application so it fills the screen. The effect looks good on games, though seems a little silly on applications such as Facebook.

The iPad has a new keyboard that spans the length of the device (both in landscape and portrait) which looks similar to a standard QWERTY keyboard, and it also has a number of contextual keyboards which pop up for different uses (such as a data entry, where you want a numeric keypad).

If youre wondering about notifications, we have yet to see how they work. Whether or not theyll be pop-ups as on the iPhone remains to be seen. Other non-changes include multitasking, meaning... multitasking is also out as of now. You can only run one app at a time here (though like the iPhone, we assume Apple will make allowances for iPod functionality, Safari, and mail).

Apple announces iWork for iPad

The company showed off a few early third-party demos at the launch event, including games from Gameloft and EA, and a new version of the popular Brushes application which is currently available on the iPhone. The New York Times was also on hand to show its native application for the device, which boasts a number of features specifically catered to the iPads screen real estate. Apple also demonstrated its new iPad-specific suite of iWork apps, including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. All were rebuilt entirely for use on this device, and will be available at launch for $9.99 apiece.

What its like to use

If youre thinking that using the iPad is a lot like getting around on an iPhone, youre dead right -- and thats by design. Apple clearly wants users to have a painless transition from their smaller devices to this -- Steve even said as much during the launch. The experience is almost identical, save for a few places where Apple has extended or tweaked functionality to utilize the expansive screen space. In general, getting around is what you expect -- lots of icons in a grid on the homescreens. No widgets here, no extra data, no real additions at a glance. Moving into and out of apps is the same single press experience. Even the lock screen is identical (though it does include a button for starting up a slideshow of pics -- yay!).

Its the apps that are really different. For instance, in mail you now have a view of your message list and your current email in one look -- if you switch to portrait, you get just a message view with a drop down menu for your list. The calendar app is completely different, coming off more like a date book than just a grid of days or list. We didnt get a lot of time to play with it, but it looks far more robust than its iPhone counterpart. Apples new ebook app -- iBooks -- is one of the more visually impressive pieces of software on the device, giving you handsomely animated page turns, along with display settings and search functionally accessible through a contextual menu. The iBooks app also uses a handsome (though awfully familiar) bookshelf motif which allows you to navigate your collection.

As we said before, the Store apps now share more functionality with their desktop big brothers. When youre looking at music or apps, you can call up a pop-over display that gives you a snapshot of info. Its a great UI change that we hope makes it to some iPhone apps. Instead of the common in-one-screen-out-to-another use that youre familiar with, this provides a much more contextual and speedy solution.

Applications like Safari and maps utilize the previously mentioned drop-down menus, but also take advantage of Apples pinch zooming functionality. Obviously getting around in these two applications will feel very familiar, but it should be noted that Apple hasnt really added any additional gestures, such as being able to rotate the map youre looking at (something weve seen on the Surface, and seems to make sense here). Safari works just as youd expect it, even the tabs are handled with separate "cards," though it does add drop-downs for the bookmarks and share options. Oh, and another thing about Safari -- theres still no Flash support here, so if you were expecting to enjoy your favorite NBC programs or watch HD Vimeo content while lounging around your apartment, youre out of luck.

Typing on the iPad can be a little difficult. Holding it in your lap is fairly easy, but as you can see in our video up above, when its flat on its back on a table, it tends to move around a bit given that its curved. If youre holding the device in portrait mode, its possible (though not that easy) to type with your thumbs, but youre more likely to be hunting and pecking with a single hand (unless you have some large paws). Luckily, when it comes to holding it, Apple provides that large bezel around the side, so youre not actually touching the screen when youre gripping it. If youre interested in handwriting recognition or stylus input -- youre out of luck. From what we can tell theres no handwriting recognition here besides the Asian character input, and Apple certainly isnt selling a stylus accessory for this device. The company seems to be sure that the way to go with the iPad is keyboard-only input. Hell, theyll even sell you an external keyboard!

Overall, this isnt a sea-change experience. If you know the iPhone and iPod touch, you know this device... and thats how Apple wants it. However, were not ruling out the possibility that between now and the launch date Apple wont include some new functionality with this thing -- as said earlier, the weather and stock apps are conspicuously missing, which gives rise to the possibility that Apple may have a widget concept in mind here. Were hoping the company decides to expand on some of this at least -- particularly when it comes to running more than one app at a time, because we dont think the use cases shown off are super compelling for most users at this point.

Partnerships

Besides the standard music and video partnerships Apple already has for its stores (and those arent changing yet), the company has teamed up with give publishing houses to start bringing ebooks to the iPad: Macmillan, Penguin, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachett. We dont think thats going to equal the number of titles you can get on a Kindle or Nook (not by a long shot), but we do think the iPad will be a magnet for publishers -- more partners are sure to follow.

Pricing and availability / data plans

The WiFi-only iPad wont hit shelves for another 60 days, and the 3G version will take three months to come to market. As previously mentioned, there will be three tiers of storage. Additionally, Apple has worked out a data-only deal with the dreaded AT&T to provide 3G support to this device (there were literally boos and deep breaths taken when this was announced). Apple is offering what it calls "breakthrough" prices on two pay-as-you-go tiers; a $14.99-a-month plan that nabs you 250MB of data, and a $29.99-a-month option which gives you unlimited access. The devices come SIM-unlocked, but they only accept the not-widely-adopted micro SIM chips, thus halting your ability to throw any old SIM you want in there.

Heres the breakdown for cost on the hardware alone:

WiFi, 16GB: $499
WiFi, 32GB: $599
WiFi, 64GB: $699
3G, WiFi, 16GB: $629
3G, WiFi, 32GB: $729
3G, WiFi, 64GB: $829

Accessories

Apple also announced four accessories for the iPad. A $29 dock / stand, a $39 case, a strange camera connection kit at $29, and most surprising of all: a $69 dock with an attached physical keyboard. The last one strikes us as odd given Apples insistence that its virtual keyboard technology is superior just about anything else you can put your hands on. Its also bizarre considering the iPads portability. We cant see ourselves plunking this thing down for heavy sessions with this dock, but we suppose there are users who will want it.

Wrap-up

As with any unreleased device, were not at the reviewing stage just yet (not even close!). We only spent a small amount of time with the device, and were not nearly ready to draw any final conclusions about this thing. There is clearly huge potential for the iPad, but Apple has also made some glaring omissions with the software (and at least one with the hardware). The lack of multitasking, and the unimaginative use of all that screen real estate within the OS is disappointing and raises questions about how useful this will be as a stand in for something like a netbook (a comparison Jobs was happy to make). Overall, while the UI changes are nice and clearly the iPhone OS scales well, there seems to be a lack of maturity and imagination in the OS -- one that could make lots of users question the devices utility. On the hardware front, the missed opportunity of a webcam for things like video calls seems like a real hit here -- what better way to speak face-to-face with someone than with a device like this in your hands?

Those issues aside, the combination of beautiful hardware and elegant software is undeniable, and what Apple may have lacked in imagination, the legion of iPhone developers certainly will not. The possibilities for this device are huge, and we have no doubt that devs around the globe will take full advantage of that -- just as they have on the iPhone and iPod touch. We also wont rule out the possibility that Apple itself isnt done tinkering here; there could very well be surprises lying in store for us before that launch date arrives. A two month window is no small matter. Regardless, its clear that Apple has taken the ball and is running with it when it comes to touch based computing -- the only question is whether they can barrel this thing into the endzone.

Apple App Store

Apple’s app store discovery 20X better than Google Play, report says

Google Play has better search than the iOS app store, but Apple has better app discovery and content curation. It’s also much better at helping users evaluate app options, but trails the Amazon app store in a key usability score.

The results are part of the Pfeiffer app store “maturity shootout,” in which the research firm evaluated the three largest global app stores: Google Play, the iOS app store, and the Amazon app store.

And frankly, they all came up short.

“Apple is so far clearly ahead of the competition in terms of overall app store maturity,” the report authors state. However, the bad new is that “none of the app stores come even close to the ideal score at this time.”

You would expect search giant Google to outperform Apple and Amazon in app search, and you wouldn’t be disappointed. The company rated more than twice as good as Amazon, and about a third better than Apple. Still, however, all app stores have significant issues, Pfeiffer says, lacking natural language search, boolean operator support, or the ability to correctly interpret misspelled searches.

“Discovery Assistance,” or content curation, is the only area where one of the app stores blows away the competition. Likely due to the fact that Apple’s app store has been in existence the longest, it offers by far the most help for app buyers to find the right app, with curated collections, and groups of apps for different purposes, occasions, and industries.

Apple scores 44 percent out of a possible hundred, while Google Play gets only 2.25, and Amazon scored 8.4. Discoverability is increasingly important to be app developers and app buyers, because as app stores surpass the million app mark, it gets harder and harder to find the mobile needle you specifically want in that giant appstack.

To get perfect scores, Pfeiffer said, app stores would have to offer sophisticated multi-level categorization, app collections for a wide variety of people, interests, and needs, and more ability to see what “app buyers like me” have bought.

iBike Bike Concept The Future of Apple

Apple re not getting patents for computers, multimedia or communications, this time obtained a patent is for a future bicycle concept.
Patents issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office on August 5 and then show Smart Bike which is a concept a la Apples high-tech bikes. The patent was filed in the first quarter 2009. Bicycles are a unified system that allows motorists login and wirelessly share information about their activities.

iBike

The information shared includes cycling speed, distance traveled, time, altitude, slope, derivative, and other diamonds. Information was also collected the users heartbeat.
According to the patent issued, the information is collected via an iPod or iPhone is connected and using sensors. What technology is used to measure the activity has not been disclosed, but the possibility of the heartbeat sensor is placed on the handlebars, accelerometer and GPS are provided in the iPhone.

Certainly true bike lovers already know that all information will be collected by the iBike are in fact already be gained over the years since the number of mini computers and GPS technology to attend.
But of course if there is one package that provides a complete bike with measuring devices and their applications as well as easy to log into the database, will certainly bring a slightly different cycling experience by assembling your own bike system.
