Hello!
This first post is just an invitation to the world of app development. Are you interested on how they make the small apps on your particular device do what they do? So was I about a year ago.
Since this was a new endeavor for me, I didn't know where to start.
My particular ideas started as how can I use a portable device as a computer?
Can it be used with external bluetooth devices such as a keyboard, earphones and speakers?
The popularity of the device would show the size of the market out there.
Like a computer, does it have any sensors or hardware programming capability?
Does it have a high resolution display that you can program to?
Does it have WiFi capability so it can use the internet from anywhere?
When no keyboard is around, does it have a touch screen keyboard?
Can I play my movies?
Can I listen to radio?
Can I take pictures?
Is there programming languages available?
Can I draw on it?
How long has the company that makes the device been around?
Do they have the latest ideas in development software?
What is the costs involved for the software and updates?
And last, can I use it as a phone?
The reason for this is several years (10+) ago, I had and still have a portable device made by Nokia, called the N800. It was one of the first portable tablets around and it did half of the above on the list. I used it a lot and it fit in your pocket. So now with what is out there, the technology was catching up to my dream device. So now what I was looking for was a do it all type of device that I can program!
Read what happens in my next blog post!
