Deutsche Telekom Partners With Verious To Bring WP7 App Components to Developers!

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WmPowerUser/~3/MsKIWaMENeY/

“Press Release:

Verious Inc., the leader in connecting app publishers and developers with code for mobile app development, today announced a strategic partnership with Deutsche Telekom, enabling Deutsche Telekom to launch the Developer Garden Component Marketplace for developers across Europe. The partnership includes mutual distribution and syndication of software components to better enable enterprise developers, major publishers and independent app developers to find, discover and integrate components and core telecom service APIs into their apps, dramatically increasing efficiency and app monetization. Verious is providing both the infrastructure and initial component catalogue to Deutsche Telekom to seamlessly enable developers to buy and sell code for mobile app development. Deutsche Telekom adds its own telecom service APIs and components from enterprise software providers to enhance the Developer Garden offering.

With its Developer Garden Component Marketplace, Deutsche Telekom is the first telco to enter the fast emerging app component market. The marketplace, powered by Verious, will enable developers to accelerate their app development projects; discover enabling services to build into their apps; and tap into entirely new revenue streams. Verious’ experience in operating a worldwide marketplace for mobile app components and source code makes them the ideal partner and infrastructure provider for Deutsche Telekom.

“Deutsche Telekom is one of the largest and most innovative telecommunications providers in the world, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them,” said Anil Pereira, founder and CEO of Verious. “We have seen tremendous interest from seasoned developers in Europe looking for ways to make more money from their code. Partnering with Deutsche Telekom through developergarden.com brings enormous business and developer reach and an additional stable of APIs and software components that are tailor-made for enterprise app development.”

Verious’ extensive catalogue of mobile app components across major smartphone and tablet platforms—including iOS, Windows Phone, Android and HTML5—has now been syndicated to Deutsche Telekom’s developer web site, http://www.developergarden.com. Additionally, Telekom’s APIs and partner listings will be added to Developer Garden and syndicated across Verious.com and the Verious Mobile App Developer Network, a network of popular sites and newsletters reaching over 1 million mobile app developers on a monthly basis. Based in Silicon Valley with a worldwide audience, Verious is the leader in connecting developers with components and services for mobile app development.

Read more after the break.

Mobile apps have created a $6B+ industry in just 5 years. Research firm Gartner Group predicts that by 2015, mobile app projects will outnumber PC app projects four to one. Given that most of the 17 million developers worldwide are migrating from Web-related initiatives to mobile apps, many of them are looking for answers on how best to both streamline and monetize their efforts. Enterprise developers are similarly searching for ways to leverage mobile apps for their businesses.

The value proposition of the new Developer Garden Component Marketplace powered by Verious is simple. App code from experienced developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) is made available to a wide range of app developers worldwide:

• You’ve developed a great user registration process for your app that other developers can leverage? Now, you can sell it as a component!

• Your app needs an elegant visualized weather forecast, but you’re short on time and resources to code it? Now, you can find one and integrate it with just a few lines of code.

• You’d like to be inspired on the best ways to integrate payments into your app? Now, you can learn from top developers’ source code.

The Developer Garden Component Marketplace is a powerful extension of Deutsche Telekom’s existing Developer Garden offering which enables developers to leverage core Telekom assets such as network, billing, reach and customer relationships to create new kinds of powerful apps. Pre-built mobile app components will further help developers in their app development and monetization efforts.

These Start-Ups Aren’t Goofing Off When It Comes to Microsoft’s Kinect!

http://allthingsd.com/20120628/these-start-ups-arent-goofing-off-when-it-comes-to-microsofts-kinect/

“Most people are familiar with Kinect today because it is the motion-controlled accessory for the Xbox that allows you to wave your hands around to virtually play tennis or dance without using a controller.

But since it came out a couple of years ago, a number of ideas have sprouted up for applications beyond gaming.

Microsoft decided to support this grassroots movement by hosting a special Kinect edition of TechStars, which gives entrepreneurs 13 weeks and $20,000 to get off the ground.

Eleven companies were chosen from nearly 500 applicants to participate in the program, which took place in Seattle; today, the founders made 20-minute presentations at Microsoft’s headquarters in front of a roomful of investors, in hopes of raising their first round.

The ideas varied dramatically, but for the most part, no one was playing around.

Many of the concepts revolved around the health care industry. Jintronix, for example, is trying to make it easier and less expensive for patients to continue physical therapy. Another idea, from Styku, was targeting e-commerce companies to create more efficient ways to try on clothes when shopping online. Lastly, and most goofy, were the folks from Freak’n Genius, which is allowing just about anyone to create cartoons and animations using real-life body movements. (Pictured on the right, Ubi Interactive demonstrates how it can turn any surface into a multitouch screen using Kinect.)

Here’s a brief description of the 11 companies that presented today:

Jintronix: Uses Kinect to track a patient’s movements to make physical therapy cheaper and more accessible.

Manctl: Uses 3-D technology to make it cheaper to make orthopedic molds for creating shoe insoles, or to fit bras more accurately.

Ikkos: Founded by an Olympic coach, the company is creating a way to train athletes by using the Kinect to track a user’s movements.

Kimetric: Uses Kinect sensors to track consumer behavior inside of retail stores.

NConnex: Enables consumers to create 3-D models for interior decorating or remodels.

Styku: Created by executives of Tukatech, which creates software for the fashion industry, is now making it possible to virtually try on clothing to find the perfect pair of jeans.

Ubi Interactive: Is using 3-D multitouch technology that turns any surface, including a coffee table or window, into a digital sign or game of Angry Birds.

Voxon: Giving artists and game designers the tools to create “holographic” entertainment and education.

Zebcare: Monitors senior citizens in the home to assure that your loved ones are safe.

Freak’n Genius: Makes it fun and easy for anyone to create animations using your whole body.

GestSure Technologies: Allows surgeons to navigate MRI and CT scans in the operating room while maintaining sterility.”

Geospatial Properties

http://www.odata.org/blog/2011/10/14/geospatial-properties

OData supports geospatial data types as a new set of primitives. They can be used just like any other primitives—passed in URLs as literals, as types and values for properties, projected in $select, and so on. Like other primitives, there is a set of canonical functions that can be used with them.
