In 2009 iOS and Android had only a small percentage of 19 % of the U.S. portable game market, while Sony’s Play Station Portable had 11%, which it was still too little compared to the dominating Nintendo DS, which had 70% of the market. Now things have changed, have evolved and that is why Android and iOS have 58% of the market, while Nintendo DS has only 36% and in fourth place stands Sony represented by the PSP with barely 6%.

This turn of events is similar with the one that Nintendo did on Sony back in 2006 when it launched the Wii game console. Just like this Apple managed to rise with the launch of the AppStore in 2008, followed by Google with the Android Market. Now there are hundreds of thousands of games available in these “stores” just by tapping your screen.

On the other side of the table, Nintendo and Sony have made little progress in this department because their main selling domain remains packaged software. They’re not the only ones feeling the impact; this is felt in news, magazines, books, TV, film and music.

The most popular portable gaming devices are the Apple iPad and the Android tablets, as we can see the number of users growing constantly. The fair question now is:” It is game over for Nintendo DS and Sony PSP?”, because as can see, Apple’s iPhone 4S has tripled its graphics performance in the last half year, and do not forget that touchscreen gaming on tablets and smartphones has increased and are very popular. But the problem is that neither Nintendo or Sony are able to exploit this territory so far, however we will be expecting some sort of upgrade or another surprise concept from these 2 companies

The first and most important strategy is Discover. This basically means to do your homework: research competitors’ content. Whether you’re launching a blog, website or email campaign, determine what information is already out there and how it’s presented, asking yourself if you can distinguish from their content. Define the clear goals and message of your content. By failing to do so, you’ll have a difficult time building a solid readership. You also risk confusing the readers you do attract.

The second strategy is the Design. Determine responsibilities before deploying a content marketing plan. Ensure that you’ve outlined who will be the keeper of the content. If you aren’t able to hire a dedicated resource, it’s essential to appoint someone to incorporate content maintenance into his or her current responsibilities. You need to know if your content is organized. Is your content logically located on your site in a central place? Is it easy to search for a particular topic? If your readers have a difficult time navigating through your site to find useful content, they’re not likely to stick around for very long.

The next strategy is in continuation to the first two. You need to start Building the content. Include as much information as possible regarding everything from tone and voice to target word count. Provide best practices for optimizing content and writing checklists. You will also need to create a copy deck. This is essentially a roadmap for your content pages, including text, graphics, advertising and links.

The 4^th strategy, from my point of view, is the Launch of online marketing. You need to monitor your every move. Leverage analytic tools to gauge what worked best and what failed. Look for patterns in the most popular types of content. It’s crucial to have a plan in place to continuously update content. Outdated content will quickly turn readers away.

The final strategy for a successful online marketing content is Adjustment. No content marketing strategy is perfect. Based on analytics reports, continuously tweak your content efforts to maximize results.

Paul Amsellem, head of Nokia France, said forLes Echos that in June 2012 will be released a tablet withWindows 8 because such a product would be an interestingopportunity.There wererumors about a possibleNokia tablet in the past, but in February the priorities have totally changed when Nokiaannounced that for its smartphones it will begin to adopt the Windows operating system.

The first Nokia phone with Windows Mobile has been launched, and the company isready toexpand the cooperation with Microsoft in the tablet segment. Around the world, there are soldover ten brands of tablets, from models that cost less than $300 to $1200 and more.

Last year were sold worldwide over 17 million tablets, for this year most forecastsindicate more than 50 million, but companies such as Gartner or IDC expects annual sales in the mid-decade that will pass 250 million units.

Nokia clearly sees its future with Microsoft. The company missed the wild and crazy early days of Android. Microsoft then made the decision to develop WinPhones easy by offering a billion dollars up front. As Elop pointed out, there’s a clear similarity between Nokia’s new phones and the Windows 8 user interface. If Nokia works it right, the company could quickly become the favorite within Microsoft’s entourage. And that’s a great place to be.

In the 10^th place we have AceHTML Pro which is the latest version of Visicom award-winning Web development tool. AceHTML Pro is the high-performance solution for creating and managing Web sites with a maximum of productivity and efficiency.

In the 8^th place stands NamoWebEditor and for those of you who don’t know, it is an easy to use and cost-effective web creation tool.

Now we go to number 7, which is held by Php Designer 7. This is more than just a powerful and lightning fast Php ide and Php editor – it’s also a full-featured HTML-, CSS- and Java Script editor boosted with features so you can get your work done.

At number 6 in our top 10 downloads for web developers we have the Titan FTP Server. This program is a powerful secure multi-threaded FTP/SFTP Server for Windows.

Halfway there, at download number 5 is the PHPTriad, which is a complete PHP development and server environment for Windows. It installs PHP, Apache, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin, both installing and setting up the environment.

In the 4^th place we have the War FTP Daemon. This program is an FTP server that brings together Unix-style security features, a BBS-like Windows interface for the system operator, extreme flexibility, Windows 95/NT 4.0 OLE support, multithreading design, and advanced software technology and performance.

At number 3 we encounter the Microsoft FrontPage 2003 SP3. This program is in this position because it provides the features, flexibility, and functionality to help you build better Web sites. It includes the professional design, authoring, data, and publishing tools needed to create dynamic and sophisticated Web sites.

In the 2^nd  place stands Abyss Web Server X1 which is a free, personal Web server that supports secure SSL connections (HTTPS), CGI scripts, FastCGI, ISAPI extensions, ASP.NET, server-side includes (SSI), download resuming, caching negotiation, logging, custom error pages, password protection, IP address control, URL rewriting, aliases, custom MIME types, index files, custom directory listings, anti-leeching, and bandwidth throttling.

And finally, in the 1^st place, and the most downloaded software for web developers is the always present HTML-Kit.

Pressing the “Stumble” button, it will be displayed either a site, a movie or a random image that wasappreciated by users and by clicking “I like it”, it will be held in the database withresourcesvalued byyou and you will be able to find it easy if you want to review it. Also, you can find sites and do reviews toshow to other users.

I love Stumble Upon because it kills the boredom and keeps you in touch with stuff that are happening. This social network site is a service that banishes monotony, and reveals what the web has to offer.Withone click you can see movies, pictures, sites with high rating, among users of thisservice, and all you have to do is to make an account. I think it worth the effort because it is simple, informing and entertaining.All resources are grouped intodifferent categories, so it is easy to see topics of your choice.

It is indicated to take a break once in a while because this service can and will cause addiction. And through this I specifically refer to time, you can lose a lot of time on this social network. But from my point of view, it is totally worth it because I can get in touch with my friends, I can talk and share things with other people and I always find interesting things that are fascinating.

Stumble Upon is the next generation of social media. With some minor improvements, I think that this could be the perfect site that incorporates: friends, news, information in general and many more.

The first cover, which really makes you iPad stand out, is the “iPad ColorCoat”. This type of cover has a very simple purpose: to stand out from the other, to make your iPad seen. It is for young people, and can be accessorized in a home environment.

The second cover, which I personally find very casual, is the HyperShield Snap-on Denim. This type of cover is for people who like to blend their iPad with their clothes. It is a material which never goes out of fashion, which, as I said before, gives a casual look to your gadget, and for some people this cover will make the difference.

Another interesting cover that gives a nice effect to the iPad is the Zagg SportLeather. This type of cover gives it a sporty look, and has a wide range of models, like basketball, baseball, soccer and many more. It is made out of leather, which is another plus because it gives a nice feeling to your hands.

The next cover has its own piece of mind. It is called the XGear Smart Carbon Shield and it is amazing. This stylish cover combines an industrial look with a carbon fiber material giving it a tough look. It is used by people who want to impose themselves at work and with clients.

My personal favorite is the SurfaceSkins Sedona Black Leather. This cover is specially made for people who work in the business niche. It is made out of black leather, which is perfect for presentations, important meetings and other activities. All I for sure is that, this cover goes perfect with a suit.

Negotiations between Google and major music companies in the field were not easy for any of the parties. Companies are looking for a real competitor to iTunes, and believe that Google has the means necessary and the financial force to take on the challenge. On the other hand, Google wants to provide quality music and video services to users equipped with the Android mobile operating system.

Another problem that worries everyone is the question: Does Google has what it takes to change the idea that Apple implemented a while back? And if so, shouldn’t it collaborate with all the big labels to have a whole range of styles, sound and other categories? If Google wants to overcome Apple and iTunes, they must implicate every single important music label in the business like Sony Music and Warner Music as well. But we will find the answer to these questions this Wednesday at the event held in Los Angeles, along with the specifics concerning this particular subject.

Google has been sued many times for processes of copyright infringement. The most important one was the Viacom lawsuit that accused Google of encouraging users to upload pirated clips on YouTube. Viacom has asked for damages up to $ 1 billion. These is one of the many lawsuits that Google has come across this year, and sources say that they are on the verge of another major one.

The screen with a diagonal of more than 5 meters is capable of displaying Full HD 3D imageswhich can be viewed without glasses, of up to 57 different perspectives. The effect is obtainedwith the 57 projectors mounted behind a set of filters that ensure a smooth transition between each projectionperspective.The actual field of view is quite limited, with amplitude of only 13°,but allows viewers tochangethe perspective from which the items appear simply stepping to the left or right of the screen. For example, if the image displays the inside of a car, visitors can seehow the steering wheel or rear seats look like bysimply walking along thescreen, as if the real car was behind the screen .

Unfortunately obtaining images or video sequences for such a screen is a difficult task, requiring to cover, simultaneously, all possible viewing angles. Ideally, the 57 photos needed to composea single 3D image is obtained by moving the camera lens in increments of 2 cm, parallel to thesubject being photographed.Luckily moving scenes can also be generated virtually, using acomputer animation system that eliminates the need to build a very expensive camera.

At least in the current version, the technology developed by JVCKenwood and the JapaneseInstitute’s experts is too expensive to be implemented in consumer products. There is still a chance to admire such displays in exhibitions, showrooms and other public events. But taking into account the technological transition, it is possible to have this technology in our homes in the next 5 to 10 years.

E-Commerce in the Arabic World

The Arabic Internet market is much larger than many people outside of this region realize; it is experiencing rapid growth. Recent research indicates that there are currently 56 million Arabic-speaking Internet users and this number will increase to 82 million by 2013. That will be a 46.4 percent increase in just over two years!

Although English is widely spoken in the business world throughout the Middle East, many companies outside of the region still have the misconception that they can continue to keep their web content in English-only because it is “the international language of business”. Most global companies have launched products and businesses in the Arabic region via English-only websites with the assumption that Arabic-speaking customers can simply search and find services using English keywords.
