Going Out Tonight? You’re Being Judged by Your Smartphone.

True story. www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk has found that 1/3rd of people in the UK are turned off by someone with a smartphone they consider ugly.  Interestingly, women see BlackBerry devices as the ‘most attractive’ phone for men to own. This is accompanied with the regard to the owners as being ‘confident and successful’, which indeed could be shocking to those with an iPhone or Samsung in their pockets. More so, the survey of 1,900 single men and women that reside in the UK found that, men find the iPhone the sexiest device for women to own because it makes them appear ‘stylish’. Top 5 devices women favor for men as follows: 1. BlackBerry Z Series – 36% 2. Apple iPhone (any model) – 31% 3. Sony Xperia Series – 29% 4. BlackBerry Bold Series – 25% 5.

Facebook Announces Update to Mobile App Install Ad Unit – Mobile App Marketing

So then, what the heck does that mean to you? Well, as an advertiser – this means you can more quickly and conveniently create mobile app ads with just a few clicks. This means that Advertisers can now create a mobile app install ad just by writing their copy and providing their app’s URL on the App Store or Google Play. This new process also makes it easier for developers to get their ad up and running by removing the step of first having to register their app with Facebook. According to Fiksu who reported on the changes earlier this week, and also happens to be big fans of Facebook’s Mobile Install Ads, “In our opinion, the Facebook mobile app install ad unit provides a great, granular way for advertisers to effectively reach the highly qualified Facebook audience of over 750 million mobile users.” also adding, “To date, the best results we have seen from the Facebook mobile app install ad unit have been derived from consistently optimizing and...

Android Device Market Share for June. Hardware and OS

Android Device Market Share for June. Hardware and OS

It’s time again that nativeX has released their findings on what the most popular Android Smartphone is for the given month. In relation to last month, there isn’t much of a change aside from the fact that Samsung Galaxy S4 seems to be gaining a little bit of traction as far as device owners. The samsung Galaxy S3 however still proves to be the big winner with 12%$ of owners using it. 7% on the Galaxy S2, and then the rest are also Samsung owned devices as well. It still surprises me however that 60% of the devices are ‘Other’. When it comes to Android OS (Operating System) Market Share we have two different charts to gander at. That of the Google Developer Portal, and then That of NativeX’s portal which measures stricly gaming apps. It is evident that in both portals Gingerbread (37% and 21%), Jelly Bean (33% and 44%), and ICS (26% and 33%) (Ice Creme Sandwhich) still lead the way. See below for more...

If it is the case that you’re aiming to create an action title that offers fast-paced, exciting combat – then you may want to put a deal of emphasis on the battle system itself and iterate until it feels as though something that is dynamic and responsive compared to what’s already out there. This is not to say that you have to go and reinvent the wheel, but there should be an obvious beneficial distinguishing factor. Note: There’s not point in adding bells and whistles if...
