Taptu Releases Full Version Of Taptu Touch Search App For Android










Cambridge, UK (PRWEB) August 5, 2010

Taptu, the search and discovery engine, is announcing an update of its popular Android App to give its rapidly growing number of Android users even more ways to easily and intuitively browse the mobile touch Web for content and to search for top apps in the Android market.

As reported in our May 2010 Mobile Touch Web report, there are over 411,000 touch websites on the mobile web and 60,000 apps in the Android Market. Taptu’s updated Android app puts it all at their fingertips.

The new update includes:


    Result Card Flick: Flick through search results with the swipe of a finger, whether the results are a Web page, YouTube video, image, or blog post.

    Filtered Search: Filter searches using Taptu’s powerful filter and suggestion button to easily find blogs, Twitter, images, and more.

    Category Browse: With the flick of a finger, browse for both touch-friendly content and Android’s top 200 apps–organized by category.

    My Taptu: Save favorite touch-friendly sites in one place to easily check back in with favorite blogs or sites.

    Landscape View: Flick through search results in either portrait or landscape mode.

    Share: Share results or favorite content with friends via Facebook, Twitter or e-mail.

Taptu President and COO Mitch Lazar said of the latest update:

“We’re excited about extending the full power of Taptu search to the Android platform and taking our Android version of Taptu to an entirely new level. Since its launch two weeks ago, Taptu’s new Android app has doubled its traffic compared to the previous app. Users will love the ability to search across both the Android Market for new apps and the mobile touch web for sites that they can collect, save and share with their friends.”

New Website AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com Launches – Connecting Businesses, Entrepreneurs With Experienced Android Application Developers











Royal Palm Beach, FL. (PRWEB) December 2, 2009

Optimum Lead Generation, LLC, the parent company behind iPhoneAppQuotes.com, the leading network that helps you find an iPhone App Programmer announced today the launch of AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com a free service for entrepreneurs and businesses who want to find reputable, pre-screened Android App Developers.

“In the last 8 months our iPhone App developer network has increased 10 fold with the explosion of mobile apps,” Gregg Weiss, Founder of iPhoneAppQuotes.com said. “Many developers in our network have added Android application development to their list of services. We have answered the need and created another resource to connect people with reputable, pre-screened Android developers for hire.”

According to mobile analytic firm Flurry, the number of Android project starts increased 94% in October 2009 as compared to September 2009. Demand is strengthening with the release of the Verizon-Google-Motorola Droid phone. Consumer awareness and media buzz have also picked up as the “Droid Does” advertising campaign reaches a wide audience.

“For businesses and entrepreneurs that already have their feet wet creating iPhone apps, it’s important to note the differences between Android app development and iPhone app development” noted Mr. Weiss. “The cost to develop for Android can be substantially higher. This is largely due to the multiple device support for Android that requires testing on several different screen sizes and resolution”.

Android App Development Gets Ready to Explode Second Half of 2010

Android App Development Gets Ready to Explode Second Half of 2010











Durango, CO (Vocus) August 17, 2010

As the demand for Android apps continues to increase, Android app development companies are working to meet the needs of each business with professional developers on hand. Any business can use the Web to access pre-screened developers and companies that can accommodate their requests, from sites such as AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com.

Competition is fierce as Android app development is expected to grow even more during the second half of 2010. The number of Android apps stood at 83,000 by the end of July 2010, although there were claims that it could be as high as 100,000. The numbers were not confirmed by Google, which hosts many applications for the Android platform, including those for its mapping and email services.

Mark Stetler of AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com said, “The market for Android apps is going through explosive growth. According to Google, 200,000 Android devices are being activated every day. That’s double the number of Android devices that were being activated each day just two months ago.”

“At this rate,” Stetler added, “Android will soon top Blackberry as the most used smartphone platform. Of course, all those Android users are going to want apps, so we expect the number of requests to AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com for app development quotes to follow Android’s growth.”

Evidence for this explosive growth is seen by the fact that there were only 20,000 apps just over six months ago. There were over 18,000 new apps and games for Android released in July 2010, compared to just over 1,600 in July of 2009, according to statistics at AndroLib. With over a billion estimated downloads so far, the demand for the most experienced Android app developer is high and will likely become more competitive.

The site also screens each developer, so professional service can be expected every time. The process begins simply by filling out a quote form on the website. The company calls to confirm the request and then routes it to 3 developers, who contact the prospective customer to discuss the project and provide a price quote. Customers are then free to choose which company they want to develop their app.

When hiring an Android app developer, AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com suggests that companies define their requirements, so developers bidding on the project all know what is expected. It is also important to have all the relevant information ready to discuss once a website form is filled out with telephone and email information. The exact price for the finished project should be decided upon before it starts, along with a decision on how payment will be arranged.

About AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com

Owned and operated by Colorado-based CenApp, LLC, AndroidAppDevelopmentQuotes.com is the leading source for getting quotes from Android app development companies. All the developers in the network are U.S.-based, have already published at least one app in the Android Market, and passed a proprietary screening process. The company’s website offers free, easy application as well as access to the official Android development site.

Get Your Android Training at the Big Nerd Ranch, March 16-20, 2009

The biggest idea in new technology comes in the smallest package.

When Google announced it was entering the mobile device market with Android, developers got excited. Really excited. Now, the recent partnership between Google and T-Mobile has spurred top-tier mobile device manufacturers to start developing devices for Android, setting the stage for Android to become a dominant mobile application platform. Based in Java, Android boasts an open architecture with an open source foundation that stands out from any other mobile development platform, with untapped potential for software development. For entrepreneurs wanting to tap that potential, the Big Nerd Ranch, premier provider of intensive, week-long classes for programmers, web developers and system administrators, is now offering Android Bootcamp, March 16-20, 2009.

The Android training class is taught by one of the top names in the mobile development industry, Mark Murphy, founder of CommonsWare and author of ‘The Busy Coder’s Guide to Android Development (Version 2.0)’ and ‘The Busy Coder’s Guide to Advanced Android Development (Version 1.0)’, slated to be released in March or April of 2009. The ebook version of the book was released June 3, 2008 and has become a top-selling guide to Android programming. Mark has more than 25 years experience as a development trainer and consultant, building real-world applications for top companies. He is a frequent contributor to the Android support Google Groups.

“Android is significantly different from any other mobile development platform or Java-based environment,” said Android instructor Mark Murphy. “This class will immerse you in the Android platform, leveraging your existing Java expertise, so you walk away able to build Android GUIs and related components. You will not only learn the basics of setting up activities and UI widgets, but the advanced capabilities that make Android compelling, such as GPS, mapping, Web service access, and on-device search.”

Mark draws upon his extensive mobile development experience and leverages students’ existing Java expertise to immerse students in the Android platform and guide them in building sophisticated Android GUIs and components. By the end of the week, students attending the class will be able to:

     Create professional Android user interfaces using XML
     Connect Android applications to the Internet, embed browsers into applications and create database-driven applications
     Utilize content providers to publish data to Android applications and communicate with other applications to use their data
     Use services to build long-running Android processes
     Integrate advanced Android features like mapping, search, and location-based (GPS) services into applications
The Big Nerd Ranch incorporates intensive training classes for Unix and Mac OS X programmers in a retreat setting outside Atlanta, GA. Class price of $ 3500 includes lodging, all meals, original instruction materials, 24-hour lab access, and transportation to and from the Atlanta airport. Students are encouraged to bring independent projects to class, allowing for input from classmates and individual instructor attention. For more information, call (404) 527-6211 or visit http://www.bignerdranch.com.

Android App Development Growing – Need for Experienced Developers on the Rise











Durango, CO (Vocus) October 26, 2010

CenApp, LLC DBA AppMuse, operator of AndroidAppDevelopentQuotes.com, has announced that Android smart phone shipments have grown 886% year-on-year in Q2 2010, signaling a need for more experienced Android app developers to meet the demand.

Android smart phone shipments have grown exponentially in the past year, growing 886% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2010 alone. This means that there is an increased need for experienced Android developers to fill requests for quotes by AndroidAppDevelopentQuotes.com users, and to meet the demands of businesses requesting apps for various requirements.

AppMuse’s service is designed to link Android app developers with entrepreneurs and business people. The company provides a simple way to submit requests, with the promise of three quotes by Android developers that have already been qualified to be a part of the company’s network.

“AppMuse will call applicants to confirm their requests, then route each request to three developers who will provide a price quote at no cost,” said Mark Stetler, President of CenApp, LLC, DBA AppMuse. “The significant rise in device shipments is an indicator these requests will increase. Major product releases from companies like HTC, Motorola, Samsung, LG, and Sony Ericsson are helping to run up the numbers.”

The entire worldwide smart phone market expanded by 64% in Q2 2010. With a 23% share of global shipments, accounting for 14.7 million devices, the U.S. smart phone market grew 41% year-on-year. This follows China’s 11% share in the global market with 6.9 million units sold there. China’s population of 1.3 billion makes the country the focus of many smart phone related businesses because of the tremendous opportunity for growth.

“The statistics are phenomenal, not even considering the state of the recovering global economy. Projections of smart phones representing over 27% of handset shipments worldwide, and 48% of shipments in North America, by 2013 further emphasize the need for more Android app developers,” added Mark Stetler.

In addition, the presence of 475,000 Android devices in China, compared to none a year ago, shows that the market is picking up pace rapidly.

AndroidAppDevelopentQuotes.com also features a simple sign up process not only for businesses, but also for each Android app developer. Experienced software programmers do not have to take much time out of their schedules to be a part of the network.

About CenApp, LLC

CenApp, LLC DBA AppMuse is the owner of AndroidAppDevelopentQuotes.com, the premier source that links entrepreneurs and businesses with Android app developers. Based in Colorado, the company maintains a growing network of developers, who must already have one app on the market and pass a screening process.
