Layar is an augmented reality application for iPhone and Android, they can view information at different sites with just pointing the camera of the mobile device. Thanks to applications like this, the development of augmented reality programs gained more attention and now we see more and more similar options that make extensive use of the benefits of certain mobile equipment (eg GPS, Internet access and camera.) Now it's time to take a new step for Layar, a startup based in Germany. It has long been able to access the Reality Browser where you could see different layers or layers of information, however this has become a mini market where you can buy supplements in the range of $ 1 to $ 4, although some allowances are maintained free.

Layar The policy states that for every sale developers will retain 60%, which leaves Layar with a good profit on each transaction. Other companies like Apple are left with only 30% of sales in the App Store so you have to see how well received this policy is for developers.

The method of payment is PayPal and now this market layer is only available in the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia.

We were pleasantly surprised by the news and why? it simply because Apple has the "big idea" out of the way all the competition in terms of software is concerned, especially when Apple already have or own native applications that perform the same.



That's why, that the adoption of Opera Mini for iPhone, iPod Touch and IPAD has been a great surprise. Remember, Opera Mini compresses pages and allows you to navigate with your mobile much faster and with more moderate consumption data, which will be fine provided you have a data plan with some type of limit consumption.



Here's some screenshots we both like a video so you can check how it looks. By the way, in case you were wondering, is now available for download from the AppStore and is free.

Much has been rumored about the supposed emergence of a native application for iPhone from Digg. Speculation could be terminated today, because apparently the rumor is true, and in a few hours will make its appearance in the App Store.

Rumors about the emergence of this application, are caused by Kevin Rose, speaking about her in October 2009. According to some screenshots, Digg addicts may easily navigate among the most popular stories that appear on the website.

Also be able to read the comments made to each of the stories, and also may consult the relevant stories and relate to what you are reading. In summary, it can do practically everything we do on Digg from a computer.

It is said that this launch is well timed to Digg it recently began planning a "cat's little sister" to Digg general. This means that the mobile version is also in the plans for improvement. IPhone users probably will be quite happy if their application is eventually appear.

Those alleged to have seen the application for the iPhone, believe that people soon get used to the application and will use it, instead of using the mobile browser on iPhone. It is expected that other platforms are also its native application soon.

The application of LinkedIn for the iPhone has finally reached version 3.1. In this new version, there have been many improvements over the previous version of the application. The company stresses 2 aspects of it: Ease of management and speed. Make no mistake, this update can not be seen as a "major upgrade".

But now it will be easier to draw your favorite contacts, extract information and update your profile status. Among the most important improvements are:

• It is easier to find, produce and manage the list of favorite contacts
• It is easier to understand and use the feature for "Download All", based on user feedback
• Now you can manage the status directly from the profile
• Now you can send messages to multiple recipients easily
• It improved a series of "minor" problems that had been reported by countless users of the application

To download the free application, you can do through the App Store.

Eugene Kasperksy, leading security company with the same name, says that long ago that Apple consistently blocked attempts to create a security suite for iPhone, so something has never seen the light in the App Store.

He explains that although contacts with Cupertino extend over 2 years, the company has never allowed to use the SDK to develop a security application. The very founder of Kaspersky says that the chances of a virus to infect an iPhone are practically nil, but also notes that the app I want to develop will focus on data security at each terminal.

Here again we would enter into the debate about whether Apple is following the right path when it is prohibited to use the SDK to develop very specific apps, though in this case perhaps how you would use the SDK attack Apple's policies while on the other hand, are allowed to create applications that are totally and absolutely absurd. The issue becomes more thorny when it comes to the theory that law is equal for all, we all know that this is not true, even remotely.

I personally believe that this is another example that Apple does not like to improve their products, because by extension mean that these are not entirely good.

Another popular title joins the long list of mobile games that currently owns the AppStore, and recently at the conference of mobile game developers held this week in San Francisco (United States), Capcom has officially announced the launch of Street Fighter IV in the AppStore.

We're talking about a customized version of the original (which is available for console), unlike this version we choose our fighter from 8 characters, while the original title has 19 characters. This adapted version for iPhone / iPod touch has a multiplayer mode via Bluetooth, so you can compete against our friends.

So you know, the game is now available on AppStore for a price of $ 10. Enjoy!

TomTom has announced a few hours ago has sent Apple's version 1.3 of its GPS navigation applications for the iPhone. This new version added the functionality of traffic information in real time. Even is thought to also be added to Google's local search feature and some other still unknown.

During the first months of the App Store, TomTom was the undisputed leader, but confirming the months passed and several companies released their navigation software in many cases even better than TomTom, the company has ceded its leadership for Navigon .

Currently, TomTom is in second place in the user preference, just back from Navigon. TomTom says that with this new update, Navigon and TomTom both have similar features, which will make TomTom sales rebound significantly.

Apparently the update will be free and the first maps to be updated will be the United States. Up progressively over the days, he expects the rest of the maps are updated to the newest version with the features described above. Only hope some day to see how it is that things unfold.

However, it is believed that certain characteristics may be recovered separately as a subscription, but neither Apple nor TomTom have spoken about it. As you mentioned, applications are currently being revised, so that at any moment, might appear in the App Store.

Just a few hours after Apple pulled a lot of applications from the AppStore to include content "potentially offensive" to its customers, the company has given its decision stating that "Every time we receive complaints from our customers about content same and also there are any objections, we review in depth ". This statement was made by Trudy Miller, an Apple representative.

He continued saying that "If we find that these applications contain inappropriate material, eliminated and asked the developer to make the changes necessary to allow the application to be distributed by Apple."

These statements relate to the disposal of an application from the AppStore, as the company received many complaints about the content "highly sexual" some applications that were available in the AppStore.

That's why Apple chose to change policies and regulations of the AppStore to avoid such "misunderstandings" with their customers and eventually eliminate a significant portion of applications from the AppStore. Although these have not entirely disappeared from the store ...

It has finally come to the AppStore the game Brothers In Arms: Global Front. This new release features 13 levels that "make you bite your nails. As I had already commented, there are new arenas such as Sicily, North Africa and Normandy.

It also incorporates video clips that complement the story, along with the promise that the player will have more interaction with their fellow soldiers. This time you will have many more weapons, among which are found sniper rifles and flame throwers.

Gameloft has added to the game, the service "Gameloft Live," whereby you can earn 26 different trophies available. Remember that this version also features multiplayer mode. In multiplayer mode you can play with several friends, to 5, and may only be made through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The game is now available on AppStore, weighs approximately 270 MB and is priced at $ 8 dollars.

Apple has imposed more restrictions on the AppStore. For a couple of days, Apple has changed the policies of the AppStore and thanks to that change, a little over 5,000 applications have disappeared forever from the AppStore.

And is that from now can be seen as applications that Apple deemed potentially offensive to users of applications in the AppStore. I asked what those applications that Apple regards as potentially offensive:

• No photographs of women and / or scantily clad men
• Do not allow images suggestive
• There will be no sexual connotations whatsoever
• Nothing that can cause sexual excitement
• No applications that may come to involve sexual content

All I can say about this is that each person is free to carry on your terminal type of content that you see fit and that, apparently, Apple has made it very clear that things are done or how they say, or rather not made. But on the other hand, we all know that there are alternatives to doing whatever we want with our terminal.

A few hours ago Apple announced that there are another 13 new AppStore globally, among the countries that have joined the successful application store of the company are: Armenia, Botswana, Bulgaria, Jordan, Kenya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Niger, Senegal, Tunisia and Uganda.

Until now, there are few applications that people in these countries may find their respective AppSotres, since developers will have to update your preferences in iTunes Connect sales for its applications begin appearing in the AppStore above.

For they will have to choose "sell in new territories" (selling in the New Territories) for a few minutes later, begin to receive applications. A pretty good news for fans of iPhone and iPod touch in those countries, but especially for Apple every time it expands to store more profitable and popular applications in the world.
