Visual Studio debug console for iPhone - CodeProject

Introduction to Article by
Jaime Olivares


The following article has two purposes:
  • From the architectural perspective: To show an approach to integrate Windows applications with smarthphone and tablet applications through HTML5 WebSockets.
  • From the software engineering perspective: To show a concrete and useful case of a Visual Studio remote debugging console on iPhones, extensible to Android devices.
It is not a goal of this article to provide a final and polished solution, the source code and applications provided are just for demonstrating the concept. Although the .net application uses the WPF library, it can be used with any UI library.

I love the idea of personal heads-up displays (HUDs)! I know the goal is like what we see in Science fiction like Iron Man, but I think it's possible. My only question is what about if you already wear glasses?

Well, fairly recently I've got my hands on a Samsung Vibrant smartphone. I've been thinking about rooting my phone so I can have full access to it. IT would mean being able to upgrade it's OS to Android 2.2 and make it really easier to tether it to cell phone. The following link explains how to root a Galaxy S phone such as Vibrant.

Anti Droid Theft - Find your stolen or lost android / google phone

This is an interesting APP. You can use it to find where your phone is located. It presents a Google Map and shows where your longitude and latitude are. When I used it at home, the address It gave was only about 95 feet off. It's even got a feature where you can make your phone take a picture and send it back to the website so you can see what environment your phone is in. Very interesting indeed!

Square Makes Card-Acceptance iPhone App Available - American Banker Article

Image representing iPhone as depicted in Crunc...Image via CrunchBase
Himm a solution where you use your phone and an an add-on to be able to take credit card payments personally. I like it. I wonder when there is going to be an android version.

But Square appears to have increased the service's merchant rates since April by adding a fee of 15 cents per transaction to the card-present rate of 2.75% of the sale and the card-not-present rate of 3.5%. A Square account has no setup costs or monthly fees.
Apparently the iPhone version was released today, and the iPad version is already out. I reall need to get me one of those.

Here I Am - 101 Best Android Apps


Description:

Let people know where you are! This application can send SMS or email with yourcoordinates and link to Google Maps.This link also opens in Maps application on Android and iPhone, and can be used as an endpoint for driving directions.
This app can use both GPS and Network location providers. GPS has priority since it's more accurate. Network location determines location based on availability of cell tower and WiFi access points. Results are retrieved by means of a network lookup.
Please note: to acquire its initial position fix the GPS must have a view of the sky sufficient to 'see' four to five satellites continuously for about 45 seconds. You must be located in an area with a clear view of the horizon around you. Tall buildings, houses, trees and other object will all affect this process. Don't try and get a GPS lock while moving, unless there's absolutely no alternative.
Additional functions:
 • Copy current location to clipboard.
 • Insert the last know location.
 • Open current location in Maps app.
 • Change coordinates display format.
 • Shows either address or elevation.
