Thats how it works!
Google announced that there will be a licensing service for applications in the Android Market Place to shield that Apps can be copied and spread without charges. That way Google reacts on the sustained criticism of many developers that it is to easy for users to exchange apps illegally.
In the future the licensing service will synchronize the data with the Google server to detect if users are legitimized to use the software. If the opposite is true the app will withdraw the service.
So you can be glad that the FriendCaller App, which enables you free international calls, is for free!
Apples iPad
IPads have an overheating protection. If owners use their iPads in the sun it will naturally heat over the recommended operating temperature range of 35 degrees. Then a warning notice appears and the computer shuts off to cool down.
One would imagine that this sounds quite usual due to the fact that it deals with a very small CPU cooler in a very slim tablet pc. So far, so good.
Despite, three iPad owners try now to sue Apple in a class action, since they have the opinion that the product cannot be used under normal weather conditions. Moreover they claim that they cannot use it in the daytime as an E-Book-Reader owing to the daylight.
Who will be on right in court remains to be seen. But at least there is an opportunity to cool down the iPad in a timely manner. However users have to stick around a kitchen therefore.
Apple uses the location services to improve their ads!
Apple agrees that they have collected their users locations since 2008. It is admittedly possible to disable the location services, but after changing the configurations no application can use the service anymore. The collected data shell be used for the advertising service iAd to tailor ads to single users. More precisely to show the users ads containing shops nearby. This hits all Apple products with location service, even Mac-Computers.
Whether this way of doing is legal will be decided in court.
Digital books are on the increase according to the business figures Amazon published. The world largest retailer sells meanwhile more E-Books than hardcovers. In the last month Amazon sold on 100 regular books 180 E-Books. This led to triple business numbers of E-Books at the turn of the half-year 2010.
Amazon did not mention absolute numbers, but reinforced their own statistics with information of the Association of American Publishers, whereby the sale of E-Books increased by 207 percent in the annual comparison.
Chief executive Jeff Bezos cites the price cutting of the own brand E-Book Reader as ones reason.

Googles Android: iPhones greatest competition.
The number of Apps for Googles Smartphone Software Android grows at express speed. The quantity of new added software has been increasing month to month for a year and now the mark of 90.000 Apps is passed. In June 2009 the number of new added applications amounted to about 1700 and in June 2010 it were nearly already 17000 new software-apps, which means that the market place could decuple in a year.
This trend might continue in the future, since its no more than mid-July and there are already 10.000 new apps in the market place this month. Based on this expansion rate there might be a million software downloads from android users right now.
Needless to say FriendCaller also offers an application for Android. For this reason Android users also have the chance to benefit from FriendCallers cheap prices for international phone calls.
The most important American testing company.
The American consumer magazine “consumer reports” denied giving the iPhone4 a recommendation to buy, since the product testers traced the connection problems to a defect of construction, which means that it deals with a hardware and not as Apple declared a software problem. Moreover the magazine recommended their readers to buy the old iPhone3G S instead of the new version, the iPhone4.
This critic will surely bring sorrow to Apple, since the magazines judgment has great influence on the Americans purchasing behavior. Furthermore “consumer reports” gave the sarcastic advise to bond the regarding part of the iPhone4 with isolating tape, because this could solve the problem.
If you are affected by the problem, keep in mind that you still have chance to use FriendCaller!
Aside from that it is the first time that an Apple iPhone does not get a recommendation to buy from the reputable magazine.

Steve Jobs holds the iPhone in the "right" hand!
At first the connection problems with the iPhone 4 were the users fault. Then it was a software problem and now Apple comps protective covers, which indicates a hardware problem.
Owners of an iPhone 4 have been complaining about connection difficulties for weeks. The problems appear if left-handed users cover a particular point of the smart phone with their fingers. Steve Jobs commentary on this subject is meanwhile deemed to be legendary, since he just gave the advice to hold the phone in the other hand.
After this, Apple acknowledged their fault and announced that they will develop a software update, which patches the problem.
But now Apple virtually acknowledged a hardware fault according to the Internet site Appleinsider. A New Yorker Enterprise contacted Apple with a video showing the connection problems and as a result Apple gave them protective covers as a present. This protective cover prevents the option of touching this particular point. This falsifies Apples statement that it just deals with a software problem here.
But do not worry! If you are left-handed and you still want to call you friends you can use FriendCaller to do so, because we are not just offering the iPhone App.
Moreover we supply the Webphone!

Google wants to simplify buying online flight tickets!
Google wants to buy an enterprise called ITA Software, which offers the possibility to search for flights, prices and free seats. The firm also provides Microsoft’s search engine Bing. Whether the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proceeds against this purchase is not known right now. The purchase price of ITA amounts approximately 700 million U.S. dollars.
Google declared that they are looking forward to the collaboration, that they will respect all existing contracts and that they do not have the intention to start selling flight tickets. If the deal is clinched they want to develop new tools to search for flights. These tools shell simplify to compare prices and to buy the tickets.
However Media experts expect that the FCC will definitely intervene, since ITA provides global players like Microsoft, Kayak, Orbitz or Expedia with their flight data.
Interesting for people, who fly often is also the possibility to call for free over the Internet. The VoIP-Supplier FriendCaller offers this for the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Android. By the way, the software can also be used in a browser without downloading a client.
