How To Develop A Mobile Application Without Breaking The Bank

Apple vs. Google. AT&T vs. Verizon. The competition for mobile dominance is not only hot, it is heating up further with every phone release. Why has this sector become such a consumer staple? Two words: mobile applications.

Based on the rapid advancement in mobile technology, applications and mobile tools offer everything that a consumer or business person could possibly dream of. Consumers didn’t pay $500-$600 for the first iPhone because it could dial a phone number, they did so because they could do amazing things with it.

AT&T announces availability of Samsung Galaxy Tab

AT&T says its version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet computer that I reviewed last week will be available online and at 2200 AT&T Stores on Nov 21. At $650 AT&T’s version of the Google Android-based iPad competitor certainly won’t come cheap.

Hands-on with the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant Android smartphone

The smartphone market moves at an amazing clip today and in May I put together a top 10 list of smartphones at the time that has radically changed over the last couple of months. I also mentioned top smartphone on each carrier in June and would make at least one change to that list. You could buy a Nexus One and use it on T-Mobile, but it was never sold through the T-Mobile retail channels and all the other Android devices were more mid-level quality. The T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant has now changed that and rises to the top of the heap for T-Mobile smartphones. I thought the HTC HD2 would be that top smartphone, but the device let me down too often to take that spot. I have been very happy with my Sprint HTC EVO 4G and wasn’t really thinking I would buy my own Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile, but I didn’t have a high end smartphone for T-Mobile so I decided to swing by the store and check out the device. After just about 5 minutes of playing with the Vibrant, I went to the counter and found out I was eligible for the $199.99 price (after $50 rebate) so I quickly paid and was on my way. I have now spent several hours with the Vibrant and personally find it better than the Nexus One is several ways and am even enjoying it more than my EVO 4G at the moment.

Good news for everyone who has been waiting on a launch date for the T-Mobile Garminfone, as today it was announced that the GPS-centric and Android-powered smartphone will be available starting June 9th. Priced at $199.99 after a $50 MIR on a 2-year contract, the Garminfone isn’t exactly cheap for a phone that offers a 3.5″ display, 3 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and HSDPA to the table, but let’s be real here — the Garminfone is all about its amazing GPS and navigational features. Right, we almost forgot… T-Mobile is currently running a contest in which it’s giving away 5 Garminphones.
