Internet Marketing Firm launches iPhone Web Development Service

Categories: Apple, Applications, Business, Content, Featured, internet | add this page to Mister Wong

On Top Results has recently begun offering a new service to its search engine optimization and web development customers. Through the new service, customers will be able to purchase websites that are compatible with Apple's popular iPhone. With this compatibility, the firm's clients will open their websites to thousands of new potential customers. When asked about the importance of making websites iPhone friendly, Keith Schilling, owner of On Top Results, commented, "Statistics show iPhone users are 5000% more likely to search the web on their devices than the owners of other handheld devices. If your website is not iPhone compatible, you are going to loose some of that potential traffic." With the new service, the team at On Top Results can either create a completely new website that is iPhone compatible, or create a page for an existing site that iPhone users are redirected towards when surfing on their handheld units. The software used to create the websites will automatically detect the presence of the Safari browser and redirect the user to the iPhone compatible site. Desktop users will still see the normal website when they visit. "The beauty of this set up," stated Mr. Schilling, "is that it works for both types ...

Categories: Apple, Application, Applications, internet, iphone, ipod | add this page to Mister Wong

Apple has been growing and growing faster than any other computer company, the success of the iPhone, the Halo effect and the mass adoption of Macs everywhere have placed Apple in everybody face, but this growing popularity has come with a high price: Quality. Apple is known for its dedication to details on its products, from the package to the device Apple is the master, but recently and because of the high demand Apple products and services have been suffering some kind of Quality Distrophia, first the 3G connectivity in some iPhones, Mobileme undelivered promises, iPhone harline cracks on its surface and now ipods in Japan overheating.

This kind of situation is what rivals are waiting, just for a single spot where they can take on Apple and its products, so Apple must take these situations seriously and resolve ...

Will Firefox 3 takes Safari users for a ride…

Categories: Apple, internet | add this page to Mister Wong

Firefox is back with a vengeance, this time the fight is for real and the promise is that this new vesion is 3 times fasster than previous one, making it lighter and more mac friendly and at the same time giving some punches to Safari. Mozilla cried foul when Apple pushed Safari for Windows as an iTunes Update, a strategy that put Safari in the face of thousand iTunes users that have fallen in love with the ipod, this move received raw criticism from Mozilla Ceo, John Lilly, who qualified it as a threat to web security. It seems that Apple learned something from Microsoft and is using it with Windows users. While Internet Explorer is still the king of the hill because its default marriage with Windows, Firefox has been gaining marketshare at its expense, providing more features, solid crash-proof environment and faster browsing, but if Apple can translate its Halo Effect to Safari, bringing million of ipod/iphone users to the new browser, then Firefox fight will be in two front, trying to grab marketshare from IE in the first place and trying to maintain it while fighting with Apple's Safari. True to be told: In my experience Firefox 3 is faster ...

Mobile.me: The center of our mobile universe

Categories: Apple, Application, Content, Itunes, internet, iphone, ipod | add this page to Mister Wong

Nobody knows for sure what Apple is planning with mobile.me (the soon to be defunct .mac) service, if everything works à la Apple then it will be a success, in the mean time there are things that Apple needs to incorporate to make it even more interesting. Here is a list of what I consider to be features needed by mobile users: 1. Free Email account (Manager) Apple should provide a free email account for everybody and an Email Account Manager if you are a corporation or have more than one email account. The Email Account Manager will let you send and receive mails from any account. 2. iCal Sync This feature is a must have and of course will be included in any mobile service Apple provides. 3. Business Card on the Go Want to beam your business card to your clients of friend, then Business Card on the Go will let you share your contact information as a vCard file readable by Address Book. 4. Centralized Content This feature will let you collect information (excel data, quicktime, powerpoint and) and share it with our friend sending it from your iPhone to any iPhone user preselected. 5.
