iPhone and Google Mobile Technology

Recently, a new application came in light which was for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The application fulfills the awareness of public about NASA’s mission and knowledge about space.

Recently, the application was launched by U.S. space agency for Apple iPhone and iPod touch. The application is free on iTunes and App stores. This was released last week that ranked was No. 10 on iTunes and soon it became the “Most Popular” list by Wednesday.

More than 920 users have given a positive response for it. Users can keep up real-time update with current missions along with future ones. There is an orbit-tracker that will cover the position of International Space Station and other spacecraft orbiting Earth.

A user can access the agency’s vast image library and NASA’s ingredients also by this application.

Gale Allen who is the director of NASA’s Strategic Integration and Management for Exploration Systems Mission said to CNN, “Making NASA more accessible to the public is a high priority for the agency. Tools like this allow us to provide users easy access to NASA information and progress at a fast pace.”

The NASA application collects, customize and delivers updated information, images and videos from various sources of NASA. You can use countdown clocks, Image of the day, Astronomy image of the day, online videos, Twitter feeds and other information from NASA.

The NASA Application for iPhone and iPod Touch has been developed by the New Media Team at NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif.

The NASA application will let users know the positions of International Space Station and other spacecraft currently orbiting Earth. These positions can be seen in three views – a map, visible satellite and satellite overlaid.

There is no chance to generate money but surely, it will create an interest towards the biggest goal. It has been developed for common people to share information about time and space.

Don’t be confused. It is not iPod or new version of iPhone. You should know that it is another type of new devices which is introduced by Apple. Recently, it has been seen in Apple firmware. arstechnica.com writes about the device,

“An updated USBConfiguration.plist in the most recent version of iPhone OS 3.1 beta offers compelling evidence that Apple has continued development on an unknown device, referred to as “iProd,” that was first discovered in March. A developer alerted us to the appearance of the new device description for iProd 1, 1 inside the configuration file. As most Apple devices are assigned the “1,1″ designation in the first revision, this leads us to believe that there is indeed an unknown product inside of Apple under active development running the iPhone OS.”

It means it is a device which had been seen in OS .1 beta. At first, the device had been seen in May.

Further the above mentioned site writes about it,

“The iProd1,1 device has been assigned a new productID of 4762 (versus 4757 of iProd0,1) and assigned a different ConfigurationDescriptor of “standardMuxPTPEthernet.” iPhone models also have this designation, and the additional interface identified in the plist for this configuration is “AppleUSBEthernet.” The consensus here seems to be that the new device may have gained high-speed networking capabilities—though the iPhone uses the interface to tether to a laptop to share its 3G connection.”

So, it is clear that the device would be able to use through iPhone interface to the laptop to share 3G connection.

What is the truth about the device, we don’t because rumors are always around the Apple’s products. It is new version of iPod or iPhone, we don’t know. We can say that it is a rumor dance or romance.

Some rumor about iProd declares that it can be something like China-specific iPhone or Apple is trying to craft China Unicom. All the iPhone SDK updates tell that the iProd 0, 1 a device file. 0, 1 is a device file which typically stands for prototypes in Apple’s product.

We can go through this theory also – iPhone OS 3.1 has configuration of iProd 1, 1. Yes, it is really mysterious device which is closer to being released.

We had still needed more facts for iProd device to know about it more. It is still like a mystery in the lists of Apple’s products. iProd still creates more confusion like iTablet.

Apple always has tried to give some new to its users. So, here we are with some new and useful application in this week. These applications have been introduced recently in comparison of others applications.

From the July, 2008 Apple started to sell about 300 million software applications for iPhone and iPod touch. It is not the perfect but maximum estimation from the whole research the matter came in light that Apple now will earn about $50 to $100 million revenue to sell its applications for the iPhone and iPod touch.

The estimation comes through last year which was about $32 billion by its applications for the software. We know or Steve Jobs also announce itself that most of the applications are free and about 100 million has been download by users in just last six weeks. “While most of those applications were free, Apple sold an average of $1 million a day in applications for a total of about $30 million in sales over the month,” in a interview Apple CEO Steve Jobs said.

According to the alleyinsider.com estimation Apple will earn $50-$100 Million Revenue from these, “Apple recently published the top 10 most-downloaded paid apps. Their average price is about $2.80. We’ll round that up to $3. That suggests Apple’s gross revenue from paid apps is $300 million. Apple takes a 30% cut, and gives 70% to developers. That’s $90 million for Apple, which we’ll round up to $100 million for simplicity’s sake.” these are major point. With the data we can also consider that Apple surely earn its revenue from its apps about $50-$100.
