Twitter for iPad Now Available Officially In App Store

Twitter has finally released an official Twitter app for the iPad that makes use of the brilliant new user-interface in this device.

Today we are bringing Tweets to a device that really lets content shine - the iPad. Twitter for iPad takes advantage of the iPad’s fluid touch interface, letting you move lots of information around smoothly and quickly – without needing to open and close windows or click buttons. There are a few things we want to point out that make this app a really fast and fun way to read real-time content.
Panes: Tapping on a Tweet opens a pane to the right. Depending on the content in that Tweet, you’ll see a video or photo, or maybe a news story, or perhaps another Tweet. You can continue tapping on Tweets, opening new panes, and getting new content as long as you’d like to. And, it’s really easy to move between panes by swiping to the right or left.

 

Media: When you tap a video link or open a web page with an embedded video, you can play that video inline. And, let’s be honest, video is great but sometimes it can take some time to load. The panes in Twitter for iPad let you look through your timeline while a video is loading, and then you can just swipe back to the video when it’s ready to play. You can also pinch on a video to watch it fullscreen.
Gestures: You can pinch on a Tweet to quickly view details about the author and to take actions on a Tweet, such as reply or retweet. Put two fingers together and pull down on a Tweet to peek at the replies, showing the entire conversation leading to that Tweet.

 

No need to login: You don’t even need to sign up to get started with Twitter for iPad. We’ve selected great Twitter accounts that you can see in various categories, such as Art & Design, Sports, and News. You can also search, view trends, and find breaking news. Sign up at any time to create your own timeline and start tweeting.

Nokia announces a new Symbian^1 device(Nokia 5250)

Few days ago Nokia announced a new Symbian^1 device called Nokia 5250.This device is full touch screen with 2.8 display screen.

The good thing about seeing these types of continuing hardware announcements before Nokia World is that we should hopefully see some major news there. I know we will see the N8, but am hoping to see Nokia reveal their next flagship device (maybe the N9) since so many people still have a bad taste from the N97 that could have been so good.

Feature

• The Nokia 5250 has a 2.8 inch 640×360 display.
• 2 megapixel camera.
• microSD card slot.
• Ovi Music support
• FM radio

Best EA games for IPhone and IPod

SKATE IT: The most realistic skating experience for iPhone & iPod is now available. EA really nailed this title and comparing it with other games in the genre is like comparing apples and oranges. Realistic graphics, authentic skaters and brands are some of the items to look forward.  A relatively difficult learning curve will likely turn off many players initially, but those who persist will be rewarded with one of the finest portable skateboarding games available. Overall presentation is quite remarkable and the rating is awesome.

American Idol: It is a mix of DDR and Guitar Hero with a mini-game in to keep things interesting. The main activity is singing songs, which is done by tilting the iPhone up and down when the notes go by or tapping on stationary stars to dance. A good performance impresses the judges and moves you on to the next week. The user interface is perfect for this game, very responsive and also a little challenging which is good. You aren’t just tapping on the notes as they go by. The graphics are good as well, so overall this is a really good game and the rating is high for it.

Download

Monopoly: The Monopoly app is a perfect representation of the American version of the Monopoly Classic. The graphics look great, from the board and the pieces, the boot, shoe, dog and top hat are all there, to the animations of the game itself. Even the choice of locations the lounges of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s and beyond all look great. It will be no surprise to find out that playing the game is as realistic on the iPhone/iPod touch as it is to playing on it in real life. So, overall the game looks fantastic and the ratings are great as well. Have it enjoy it!!!

NBA Live: EA’s next big title, NBA Live is impressive on all counts. All the licensed teams and players are there including unlock able legends.  In game graphics look good and you can recognize the individual players easily but it is in replay mode that the graphics really come to life and it makes scoring a spectacular basket all the more rewarding. The commentary in the game is its plus point and sound effects are really good. So, overall The game is quite a great presentation of Electronic Arts and the games’ rating is much higher than any other basketball game.

Download

FIFA World Cup: FIFA World Cup is well presented game. The app brings all of the great features you would expect from an EA game, including decent commentary, great crowd effects and excellent game play. Graphically, the game feels like it should have come on some of the cut sequences are, frankly, dreadful. Every now and again, you’re provided with glimpses of how good the game could be. Overall game ratings are very good, so enjoy it guyz.

Real-Time Face Tracker Application(Demo)

Researchers at the University of Manchester revealed a real-time face tracker on a mobile phone was developed and they decided to show their application demo on “Nokia 900”.This application work by using of mobile camera and microphone.

 

Here the Demo of this application

 

How this Application Working

The face tracker use landmarks on the face using a technique known as the Active Appearance Model. The positions of these landmarks relative to each other define the shape of your face and indicate where you are looking, your expression and who you are. As you can see in the video, the tracker does a pretty good job following the face even when the phone pans or rotates. Let’s hope this technology evolves from the Nokia N900 into other mobile phones as well.
