The giant has spent twice the time to go from 500 00 to 1 Million just to get the first 500 00 downloads.

Does Facebook Home know some problems of adoption? A month after its publication, he finally reached the symbolic figure of one million downloads, reports our colleague CNET United States, citing the director of mobility as a source.

New target: 5 million. This could take time. It took ten days to reach Facebook Home 500,000 downloads and more than 20 days to double that number. This slowdown and average performance reflects the reception rather critical of Facebook Home.

Bugs and up-to-date

Many quite negative tests have been published since the release of the software, and Facebook Home does not add up to five of the 16 000 and some votes on the Google Play Store more than two stars. Many bugs have especially put off users. Facebook has released an update to day since, but this does not seem enough.

Especially since this one million downloads, it has no idea how many have deleted the application thereafter. Facebook should have an idea - he knows the rate of removal some time after the download, but not beyond.

The online social network Facebook is in talks to acquire Israeli Waze GPS mobile application for an award of up to one billion dollars, said Thursday the Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter. These sources describe the serious discussions, but warn that they can still fail.

Founded in 2008 in Israel, Waze is a mobile application that is funded by advertising and associated mapping a social aspect: it advises road routes taking into account information on accidents, road works or traffic jams provided by almost 50 million users. Such a purchase would allow Facebook to improve its offering in the mobile, where he tries to strengthen and put a foot on the market for online mapping.

This would be one of the biggest acquisitions of the group since the last year of application Instagram, for a price originally announced $ 1 billion but eventually reduced to 747 million, Facebook had paid partly with its own shares whose prices had meanwhile fallen.

Nowadays, just buy any phone and run Android or Android apps on it. If Myriad has its way then it could be true for most mobile platforms.

Myriad has announced Alien Dalvik, which enables Android apps on non-Android phones, without any performance loss. A tall claim and Myriad has done this with Nokia N900, take a look on the video here. Support for other platforms will soon follow after its Mobile World Congress demo.

Android is on a rampage since its launch. The last thing it needs is a port like Alien Dalvik which lets other phones to run Android apps. This might not be a success story for Android but for its apps. Mobile app developers who are facing a dilemma of which platform to develop can breath easy now. Just develop it for Android and the rest will be taken care of by Alien Dalvik. In a perfect world that is.

Myriad will be releasing Dalvik for Meego to start with followed by support for other platforms. If you want to run the native native Android Google apps map to get the Gmail Priority Inbox on your iPhone, then you might have to wait. I am not sure how this will work out, but if Myriad is planning of an app for doing this, then Apple will reject it with impunity.

Soon or later we see the creative crafting technology of Smartphone from Nokia which comes with windows based mobiles or Smartphone concepts.

In recent times, we all know that Nokia joins hands of partnership with Giant Microsoft for their upcoming Nokia Windows based Smartphones. The developers of both giant corporation Nokia and Microsoft said that the upcoming Nokia based windows mobiles or Smartphones will be look like more or less like Nokia N8 and Nokia C7 but in more articulate or crafting manner rather than conventional designs.

But nevertheless, there are so many things which still under the table of Nokia and Microsoft because Nokia also wants to enhance their Symbian applications.

 Let’s see what happen in future in world of Nokia and Microsoft.

The reason cell phones are so expensive is not only purely because of the technology that the cell phones offer, but also because of the accessories that are manufactured to accompany these most expensive cell phones.

So, let’s take a look at the Top 8 most expensive cell phones ever made in the world.

There’s no debating that credit and debit cards are convenient, but typically the only places that you can use them are in businesses, or via the phone or internet. In 2009 the co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, set out to change that. He released a beta version of Square, a system that allowed mobile devices to receive card payments. A small card reader plugged into the device’s headphone port, and an app handled all the 1s and 0s. Two years later, Square is out of its debugging phase and available for general use.

The card reader is sent to users free of charge, and there are reportedly no activation, gateway, monthly, early termination or hidden fees, nor is a contract required to use the service. What there are are transaction fees – 2.75 percent + 15 cents for swiped transactions, and 3.5 percent + 15 cents for keyed-in transactions. These fees stay the same regardless of the amount of transaction, and are taken off as the transaction occurs, so no fee schedule is involved. The user pays nothing at all if they don’t use the service.

There is no limit on transaction amounts, and funds are automatically transferred into the user’s bank account after a 24-hour period. The system can also make refunds to buyers.

While Square accepts all major credit cards, the company does have a policy regarding what sort of products it will allow its service to be used to sell. The website states, “Our banks and the payment card networks have also determined that certain transactions, while legal, present high risk exposure to Square, our merchants and their customers,” adding that funds may be withheld from users caught violating that policy. The list of unacceptable transactions includes understandable things like illegal activity, drug paraphernalia and hate products, but also includes greyer areas such as raffles, adult entertainment and occult materials.

Square is compatible with iDevices and Android, but can currently only be used for purchases made within the United States.

iPhone 5 rumours are flying thick and fast already. Will there be a rush release to erase memories of the iPhone 4's antenna problems? Will the 5th generation iPhone deliver ultra-fast mobile internet? Will it ever end up on Verizon in the US?

Apple is expected to launch its next iPhone this summer, and new reports describe it as a "completely redesigned handset" as well as a "total rethink from a design standpoint."

To start, the iPhone 5's internals will be different - the device will run on a new, combined CDMA/GSM/UTMS chipset from Qualcomm, which will support both AT&T and Verizon in the U.S., as well as other carriers worldwide - perhaps even an expanded lineup, as would now be possible. Along with the iPad 2, this chipset change represents the transition away from Infineon as the iPhone and iPad chipset maker. Going forward, Qualcomm will make the chips for all Apple mobile devices.

The Apple company has acquired Swedish company, Polar Rose, known for its mobile face recognition technology FaceLib among other similar products.

If you're thinking about buying the iPhone 4, you'll be better off waiting for the iPhone 5 instead, as it should be coming out really soon this year.

Here are some of the expected features:

• The new iPhone 5 is expected to have Face Recognition Security so that you don't have to worry about other people stealing your phone and trying to use it... That is, unless they steal your face too.


• Video Chat on a 4G network instead of a slow 3G one
  Much nicer overall body design of the phone. It's going to be even thinner and have a shiny black piece.


• Shatter Resistant and Scratch Resistant Screen.


• The lowest model will come with 32G of space and 64G of memory. I'll be able to store my whole computer on the lowest model of the iPhone 5. Yippeee for me.


• Longer Battery Life - Up to 14 Hours of Talk Time On The 3G and 7 Hours on the 4G. With 14 hours of talking to my girlfriends, I'm only going to have 10 hours to sleep.


• HD Audio - The quality of sound is going to be extra crisp.


• Built In GPS - You'll never get lost or have to download one of those stupid GPS apps.

Concept phones are always interesting but this new one, called EMPATHY, from BlackBerry is quite a spectacle to behold.


The BlackBerry Empathy concept phone is a sponsored project held by RIM Blackberry at the Art Center College of Design. But the concept behind the phone is really odd. The idea is that it is supposed to “detect emotional data” through some magic ring and show both your emotions and your contacts and social graph.
