TomTom opens portal for rapid location-based app development

Cloud-based platform will expose TomTom's extensive mapping database


Navigation technology provider TomTom today announced developer tools and a platform for location-based services (LBS) in the cloud to help in the rapid creation of apps for finding locations that are used by truck fleets and other businesses.
TomTom has been providing digital maps, traffic information and navigation technology for automotive dashboards, mobile devices and Web-based apps since 1991, when the company was founded in Amsterdam.
The new LBS platform will allow developers to access TomTom's existing location and navigation services including map displays, routing, traffic conditions and geocoding information. The portal will also give developers tools to build Web-based as well as mobile-device apps.
The portal can be accessed at developer.tomtom.com, where developers can get a free key to the API.
Dan Adams, vice president of location and live services at TomTom, said in an interview that the LBS platform launch is an "important evolution" for the company. "We found in the market a number of companies that are saying they wanted industrial strength LBS. While we definitely face competition, customers have said competitors are not filling their needs."
Markets for TomTom's portal will be governments, utilities and international companies that already use TomTom's analytics for GIS (Geographic Information Systems). TomTom's large mapping databases will be open to those GIS customers, and to developers interested in building apps that help customers find a business on a map. For example, an application developer for a restaurant chain would be able to use the portal to provide maps and directions to a nearby restaurant using GPS location information.
Adams said several hundred developers are already signed up to use the portal. The portal will support Android, iOS and BlackBerry, with plans to support Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.



Windows 8 tablets need more apps, but OS will eventually outpace Android, SAP exec says

Learning curve is not significant for new platform, adds Nick Brown



 Windows 8 might, or might not, prove to be a big hit with enterprise customers. But SAP is betting it will become an important platform in workplaces and figures Windows 8 tablets will outpace Android tablets, an SAP executive said Thursday.
The biggest barrier so far to Windows 8 adoption within businesses is a shortage of Windows Store apps to run on new Windows 8 touchscreen tablets, Nick Brown, senior vice president of mobile strategy at SAP, said in an interview.
With that in mind, the enterprise software vendor this weekannounced six new workplace productivity apps for Windows 8, along with custom developer tools and management software.
The goal is to offer the same SAP capabilities for Windows 8 as SAP already has for devices running iOS, Android and BlackBerry, Brown said.
SAP makes about 50 apps that can be loaded on those competing platforms, and has consolidated many of those productivity-focused apps into SAP WorkDeck for Windows 8, Brown said. Apps that affect other vertical businesses, such as SAP's Electronic Medical Records app, will eventually become available for Windows 8, too.
During the past year, Brown said hundreds of tests generated a "very, very positive response" to Windows 8 and the SAP apps, including the ability to zoom into key features of an analytics app to see specific data.
"When you look at what Microsoft has done with Windows 8 -- going from PC to tablet to phone and that continuum -- we're excited about their paradigm and the ease of using the [tablet] device," Brown said. "Microsoft may have the formula for success."
The biggest concern of business customers so far, Brown said, is "limited apps.... They [at Microsoft] have got to work on enterprise-class solutions. We think it will happen. We do hear from customers that they like the promise of Windows 8, with more apps and more capabilities on the platform. It seems like momentum is strong."
There have been concerns that traditional Windows users accustomed to a mouse and keyboard might have a difficult time adjusting to Windows 8 tablets with touchscreens. Microsoft could have lessened those concerns, Brown said, by making sure there were plenty of apps specific to Windows 8.
"Not that many new apps affect the Windows 8 platform, and if there were more new ones, you wouldn't go back to the old ways," Brown said. What some users might not recognize is that a Windows 8 tablet is "not a replacement for a PC, but a movement to a new paradigm," he said.
Brown downplayed the adjustment needed to use a touch tablet form factor, though he said Windows PC users "will have habits that are harder to shift.... There are nuances, but they aren't that significant."
Brown said he's found Windows 8 to be "complex in the background. But I was delighted they did keep it fairly simple for users."
Because Microsoft has a tradition of loading up features in its software products, Brown confessed, "that scares me a little" with Windows 8. "I want it to succeed, but there's always too much in a Microsoft product, like Word, which has things I'll never use. With a tablet, I might only want it to do five things."
So far, it appears that Microsoft has "done OK" with the OS, Brown said. "Is it perfect? No. But I'm impressed with its capabilities."
In coming years, Brown predicted Windows 8 tablets will "have good tablet [growth] pickup over Android tablets," though not over the iPad. "You can't ignore Microsoft. They've got a lot invested in Windows 8 and a lot at stake."


Apple's iPad shipments for China nearly double, after trademark dispute

Apple iPad shipments for the third quarter reached 2.07 million units

Apple's iPad shipments for China nearly doubled in the third quarter, after Apple settled in July a lengthy dispute over the iPad trademark name that once threatened to ban the device from store shelves in the country.
Shipments of the tablet in the third quarter reached 2.07 million units, up from 1.15 million in the previous quarter, according to Dickie Chang, an analyst with research firm IDC. He attributed the shipment growth to Apple finally gaining ownership of the iPad trademark in China, which cleared the way for sales of the new product.
Apple's third-generation iPad went on sale in China on July 20, four months after it was made available in the U.S. The launch wasdelayed as Apple got embroiled in a legal battle with Chinese firm Proview, which had registered for the "IPAD" trademark in China years before.
Proview had wanted Apple to pay as much as $400 million for the trademark, and had called on authorities to ban iPad sales in the country. Finally, in early July, the two companies settled the dispute, with Apple paying $60 million to obtain the trademark from Proview.
The growth in iPad shipments further cements Apple's dominance of China's tablet market. After Apple, the next largest vendor is Lenovo, which shipped only 278,000 tablets in the third quarter. Samsung, the country's third top tablet vendor, moved 143,000 units.
Globally, Apple said iPad sales reached 14 million in the third quarter, a year-over-year increase of 26%. But in terms of worldwide market share, Apple's iPad fell to 50.4%, as shipments for Android tablets from Samsung and Amazon grew, according to research firm IDC.
Apple, however, will likely see better tablet sales in the fourth quarter, with the launching of its iPad mini and fourth generation iPad, said IDC

Nook HD review: A faster, brighter and better e-reader/tablet

Barnes & Noble's new Nook HD and Nook HD+ Android-based tablets are worthy competitors to Amazon's Kindle Fire.

The just-released Nook HD and Nook HD+ are well-designed reading-and-entertainment Android tablets featuring beautiful, high-resolution screens, a significant rewrite of the Nook software and beefed-up video services.
In order to see how well the new tablets compare to their predecessors -- and how they fare against their main competitor, the Kindle Fire -- I worked with both, although I concentrated mainly on the Nook HD.
Nook HD
Barnes & Noble's Nook HD
The Nook HD sports a dual-core 1.3GHz TI processor with 1GB of RAM and a 7-in. display with 1440-x-900-pixel resolution. You can choose a device with either 8GB (for $199) or 16GB (for $229) of built-in memory; there is a micro SD slot for additional storage. It's a Wi-Fi-only device, and comes with Bluetooth connectivity. It weighs in at a very light 11.1 oz. and measures 7.6 x 5.0 x 0.4 in.
The larger 9-in. Nook HD+ has a dual-core 1.5Ghz processor, 1GB of RAM, 1920 x 1280 resolution and comes with 16GB (for $269) or 32GB (for $299) of memory. It weighs 18.2 oz. and measures 9.5 x 6.4 x 0.5 in.
Neither tablet has a camera. There's also no HDMI port, but you can buy an HDMI connector for $39.

Faster, brighter and better

The dual-core processors clearly do their job, because I found the Nook HD's operation to be exceedingly smooth, with no delays or glitches when opening or reading books, opening or running apps, or watching on-tablet video. At times, I experienced slight delays when streaming videos, but that was likely more the result of either a laggy Internet connection or problems with the streaming server, not the device itself.
This is enhanced by the fact that the screen is, simply, superb. Not only does it display video content beautifully, but color magazine photos pop, and cartoons and graphic novels are similarly pleasing to the eye. At 1440 x 900, the Nook HD offers higher resolution than the Kindle's 1280 x 800 -- and it shows.
The Nook software, built on top of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, has been thoroughly redone since the release of the original Nook Tablet. It's been simplified and new features have been added.
For starters, you can now create up to six different customizable profiles so that several people can use the device. There are specific children's profiles that are controlled by a parent, who can limit access to the Web, to apps, to files, and so on. Each profile has its own content library, home screen (containing recently viewed content) and preferences.
However, while you can have many profiles, you have to choose a single person to pay for all content on the Nook HD. Content from any profile can be shared with any other profile or all profiles.
The overall interface has been improved, primarily by cleaning up the clutter. In the previous version, the Home screen had multiple layers of content and navigation on it, making it somewhat busy. In the new interface, there are fewer navigation buttons and content layers, with notifications moved to the top of the screen. Overall, I found it easier to find and use content.
There's another nice touch as well: You can jump to a new Nook Today screen from the main screen with the tap of a button. Nook Today shows local weather as well as book recommendations based on your most recent buying and reading activity. Jump back to the main screen by tapping the button again.
One of the Nook HD's primary purposes, of course, is for reading books, magazines and newspapers -- and it does an excellent job. The basic reading capabilities are essentially unchanged from the previous version, which is a good thing, because they're well designed. One new feature is a nifty Scrapbook that lets you save and retrieve magazine pages by swiping down with two fingers.
On the other hand, app availability is relatively limited on the Nook HD compared to a pure Android tablet. You can only download apps through the Nook Store, and what's there is an insignificant fraction of the 700,000 apps available in the Google Play store. And although you'll find popular free apps such as Twitter, Evernote and Pulse News, the focus in the store is on for-pay apps. For example, if you're looking for the latest iteration of Angry Birds, you'll find it here, but for $2.99 rather than for free as you can get in Google Play.

Web browsing and email

In general, I found Web browsing to be speedy, with pages loading extremely fast. The Nook's Web browser is far superior to the previous version, and allows for multi-tabbed browsing, something its predecessor couldn't do. You can now easily save Web pages in addition to bookmarks.
There's also a new ArticleView feature that displays a Web page in an article-like view rather than as a Web page. The view strips out ads, navigation and other Web elements, and displays only text itself in a scrolling document. You switch between the views by tapping either the ArticleView button or Browser View button that replaces it at the bottom of the screen. This feature mirrors a similar ArticleView capability for viewing magazines that was introduced in the Nook Tablet.
There's another nice addition to the browser: Tap a small icon at the bottom of the screen and an email message is automatically created -- using your default email account -- which includes the URL of the page you're currently visiting, and drops the title of the Web page in as the subject line. Enter the name of the person to which you want to send the message, add text if you want, and send it on its way.
The email client has also been improved. It's now much easier to navigate among your mail folders (Inbox, Drafts, Sent and so on). Reading messages is visually more appealing because of a cleaner layout, although the basic functionality remains the same.

Media capabilities

The Nook's media capabilities are something of a mixed bag. On the plus side is the exceptionally clear, crisp, high-definition screen that displays HD content beautifully.
But the device's speakers still suffer from a problem that bedeviled the original Nook Tablet -- they simply aren't loud enough. Unlike the original Nook Tablet, the Nook HD's speakers are stereo, which is a step forward. But they're still not loud enough for movies and TV shows -- you may need to use headphones or external speakers to get adequate volume. I did find the speakers all right for playing music; it was only for TV and video that the volume was a problem.
Barnes & Noble offers a new video service called Nook Video, which doesn't run as a separate app, but is accessed directly from the Nook Store.
Nook Video allows you to buy or rent movies and TV shows on an individual pay-and-play basis. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a plan like Amazon Prime for the Kindle in which you can download unlimited video for an annual fee of $79. Another minor complaint: You have to watch a rented video within 24 hours; Amazon gives you 48 hours. Finally, Nook HD doesn't have a music catalog orcloud music player like the Kindle does.

At a Glance

Nook HD and Nook HD+
Barnes & Noble
Price: Nook HD: $199 (8 GB), $229 (16 GB); Nook HD+: $269 (16 GB), $299 (32 GB)
Pros: Smooth performance; streamlined software; excellent screen; fast Web browsing; multiple profiles on one device
Cons: No camera; limited video catalog
When I tried it out, the video selection was pretty limited. For example, there were only 64 films available in the comedy category and only 75 available in drama. Other categories had similarly paltry offerings. Barnes & Noble has inked deals to make more video content available, so over time the amount of video content should increase.
The Nook HD also includes support for the cloud-based third-party UltraVioletservice, which lets you purchase and stream videos to a variety of devices.

The bottom line

First, keep in mind that, although Barnes & Noble likes to call the Nook HD a "full HD tablet," it's like its main competitor, the Kindle HD, in that you have to deal with a tweaked version of Android, and you don't get access to the full Google Play app store. If you want a small tablet with a full working version of Android, you're better off with something like Google's Nexus 7.
If you already own a Nook device, it's well worth considering an upgrade -- the new screen and faster processor, improved Web browsing and email, and better overall interface make it a significant improvement over its predecessors.
As for how it stacks up against the Kindle HD, that's a little tougher to call. The Nook HD's screen is superior and overall the device is a much better and smoother performer; it didn't suffer from the delays and glitches I found when using the Kindle HD. Web browsing is noticeably faster as well. The Nook HD's interface is also cleaner and simpler than the Kindle HD's -- and it doesn't include ads, as does the Kindle HD. (To eliminate the ads in the Kindle HD, you can pay an additional $15 fee.)
On the other hand, the Nook HD doesn't have a camera; the Kindle Fire HD does. And the Kindle Fire HD offers a superior video library -- at least, for now. So if these are important to you -- or if you're already invested in the Amazon ecosystem -- the Fire is probably a better bet.
For me, however, the Nook HD remains my favorite. Its better software, exceptional screen, faster Web browsing and much smoother performance make it the winner in my eyes.
