Readability experiment by @arc90 is just awesome - http://bit.ly/9OXltc

Even the most horribly styled websites are beautifully modded to enable better reading


After using Readability:

If you guys like reading frills readable text head over to http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ and add get the bookmarklet. 

PS: I am not against ads, but I prefer my text to be legible & ofcourse readable. Many public sites ignore this basic need.

Augmented Reality SDK looks very promising:

Maybe this would be a good starting point to test out a few concepts which are still on paper.

Mobile Platforms & Diversification - how ~they~ are killing mobile developer productivity & profits

Samsung recently announced Bada OS with much fanfare & a competition - Yay!

This got me thinking yet again as to why any developer should support / build for it? What is the killer feature which will make me want to invest in building apps for this platform? Apart from the fact that it has a large market share - nothing. I am not trying to second guess Samsung's intentions in bringing Bada to life - I mean rather than choosing from choice list of OpenSource OS choices these days (Android, Symbian & Maemo ...) - they probably know what they are doing. As long as a mobile manufacturer provide ways to port our existing apps using a standards compliant platform we are game.

Diversification of Mobile Platforms today is killer of mobile developer's productivity (& profit). We are forced to choose a platform and stick with it - I guess this will start becoming a common place & the best platform will eventually win. Many developers will only focus their efforts on one platform. Btw: It already started happening.

I am more than happy to support any platform which comes to play. So long as I can find developers for the given language needed for the platform, the platform is standardised (eg. Java) & deploying/porting the app to a platform does not involve rewriting it from scratch. 

Between guys, Qt is one amazing platform - played around quite a bit and I have to say I am impressed. Hope iPhone would one day be fully supported along with SymbianMaemo. Also fingers crossed as to whether Bada would be on the list of supported platforms for Qt.

Open Letter to Manufacturers of Mobile Devices

Dear Manufacturers of Mobile Devices,

Please stop creating your very own cocoons (read OS) and start sharing.

We developers (ISVs, Individuals..) don't have the time or energy to support you all at once.

Regards,

Mobile Developer.
