WeFi Brings Wi-Fi To Android Apps Through New API
If you’re an Android Application developer, you should be aware of user experience, ensuring that various things are loading quickly and running smoothly. Unfortunately, developers have no control over how quick the customer’s current mobile/data connection is and therefore the user experience can suffer by no fault of their own. A company called WeFi is looking to change that. When you use WeFi your phone attempts to find free local Wi-Fi hotspots like coffee shops, hotels, airports and other areas where your phone can get a free Wi-Fi connection – and then it connects: The company recently opened up an API that will allow application developers to take advantage of this service. This way, when you’re using their application, you’ll automatically connect to faster data speeds whenever possible, simultaneously improving the user experience when using their app. The folks at WeFi provide 3 examples of apps that use their API, but I wanted to point out the one I thought would have the biggest impact/improvement on the offering – a video streaming service: ZooVision is a mobile video streaming content aggregator that is changing the way people use their wireless phones and access entertainment. They stream on-demand videos and audio customized to the mobile experience. Zoovision believes that the mobile customer demands a video experience that is delivered quickly and of the highest quality. Therefore, ZooVision partnered with WeFi to guarantee seamless and high-bandwidth connectivity to users wherever they want to consume their content. Check out the full press release: WeFi API Delivers on Wi-Fi for Android Apps Android Application Developers Benefit From WeFi’s Exceptional Connectivity and High Mobile Bandwidth Capability, Along With Superior Wi-Fi Intelligence MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS – Barcelona, Spain – February 16, 2010: WeFi Inc. (www.wefi.com), creator of the world’s largest community-based global Wi-Fi network, today announced the launch of WeFi API, a software integration package that enables mobile application developers for Android phones to benefit from WeFi’s award-winning Wi-Fi technology. Android developers of data-intensive applications can benefit from WeFi’s high-performance global Wi-Fi network, which ensures automatic and fast access to the best Wi-Fi connection available, as well as from WeFi’s extensive detailed intelligence relating to over 50 million hotspots worldwide. WeFi will be demonstrating at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Please visit us at the Israel Mobile Association Pavilion – Hall 4, Level 1, Stand #11. For over 3 years WeFi has been building the world’s largest Wi-Fi network, which recently passed 50 million recorded hotspots around the world. Millions of WeFi users contributed to building this network, and continue to do so every day. WeFi API provides the following benefits to Android application developers: · Automatic Wi-Fi connection and full control over Wi-Fi connection process. · Up-To-Date, highly detailed business data on Wi-Fi hotspots such as the type of location (café, library, etc), whether or not the access point is requires a password, costs money or if free, requires a web homepage sign-in or not, and more. · Locating all available hotspots respective to a user’s location, beyond the phone’s Wi-Fi range WeFi’s API Partner Program is already in full swing, with a number of Android application developers already adopting WeFi API into their platform. These include: LookATOR, developed by LoFT (www.loftdev.com), is an Augmented Reality-based application for finding better Wi-Fi access. The WeFi API allows LookATOR users to get a wide variety of useful information about Wi-Fi networks they see, and helps them get better and more fluid Wi-Fi access through LookATOR. DroidSecurity (www.droidsecurity.com) is a pioneer of mobile security solutions providing the tools and services needed to safeguard smartphones. Their solutions protect mobile devices and data against security, privacy and identity threats. DroidSecurity develops an application called “Safe Network” which uses the WeFi API to control the Wi-Fi connectivity process and verify the security level of hotspots the user connects to. ZooVision (www.zoovision.com) is a mobile video streaming content aggregator that is changing the way people use their wireless phones and access entertainment. They stream on-demand videos and audio customized to the mobile experience.

Android application developers who wish to apply for the WeFi API Partner program can contact WeFi by email at developers@wefi.com, or visit: http://wefi.com/developers “With a sharp increase predicted in mobile Internet use over the next few years, increased Wi-Fi availability is significantly useful in unleashing mobile Internet applications and services,” said Zur Feldman, CEO of WeFi. “Following the success of the WeFi application on the Android market, WeFi decided to open up our technology to the mobile application developers community, so that everyone can enjoy the great connectivity and mobile bandwidth potential. We believe that the users of every mobile app can greatly benefit from our solution and eventually make mobile Internet better, easier and more affordable to all.”

Android App Controls Your Verizon Fios TV
Verizon FiOS owners can get a new FiOS Mobile Remote app for their Motorola Droid or HTC Imagio. The application displays regular remote buttons, but also shows icons of favorite channels. The FiOS application also allows you to display photos and slideshow from the photos on your mobile device to your television. When you receive a phone call the device will automatically mute the TV and resume to the previous volume level once you end the call. Your phone links with your FiOS box through your local WiFi, and requires you to download a widget for the set top box. You can download the application in the Android Market and then pair your phone with your home Wi-Fi network by opening up the Mobile Remote Widget on the TV and selecting either the Motorola Droid or HTC Imagio icon. You will then be asked to register your telephone number using the Widget, and you’re all set to go. Keep us posted if this works for you FiOS customers.There is no FiOS in my area so I’m stuck with Comcast for now but this seems like an excellent alternative to traditional television controls. Just think how happy your girlfriend will be when you relinquish the remote control to her, but little does she know you can still control it through your Droid or Imagio!

HTC Desire ROM Nexus One Android Phone
The desire HTC has exactly the same material as the Google [GOOG] Nexus A phone if the concern Sense works on top of Android to give an excellent user interface. As with all things HTC, it was not long before someone got to work on porting the ROM to go elsewhere. One user managed to get the ROM Desire to work on the interfaces between One. A problem for now is that the ROM is not quite for some reason, probably due to Google changing the code slightly and Nexus One may not start after starting completely blank, but with some reorganization and move some applications off the system partition, the code can now run. The list of what works is included on Modaco. Some features that work include the trackball, hardware keys under the screen, proximity sensor, light sensor, a compass and G sensor. The list seems to get more work as more functions, so check the thread linked above follow me. It should not be too long before instructions are provided to get the ROM of your Nexus One Desire.

The 5 Most Interesting Things About Google’s ReMail Acquisition
Email startup ReMail announced this afternoon that it's been acquired by Google and there's a pretty interesting story behind this cool technology that could inspire future developments in Gmail. The news was announced by ReMail CEO Gabor Cselle on his blog today (we learned about it first via CenterNetworks ). Gabor was a former Gmail intern and was YCombinator funded. There are even more interesting elements to this story than that, though. Sponsor ReMail the app has already been discontinued from the iTunes App Store, but here are some ways it could impact Gmail in the future anyway. Cselle will now become a product manager on Gmail. The core feature of ReMail was full-text search of all the emails in your Gmail or other online inbox, even when you were offline. That wasn't the only cool thing about ReMail, though. The Reboxed application that sorts your contacts by priority was really interesting. It was like a little game that scrolled through your contacts, displayed two at a time and asked you to prioritize one over the other. Your individual ratings and the aggregate ratings of particular email contacts across all ReBoxed users were then used to bring emails from high-priority senders to the top of your inbox. It was a really fun little feature. While many data-centric startups would have just picked up email prioritization based on implicit behavior (whose emails you open and reply to) there was something to be said for allowing explicit rankings in a game-like setting. Whose emails are more important to you, your boss's or your mom's? That Google just bought something that's all about one of the iPhone's core functions, email, is interesting. Sure, the app is shuttered now, but imagine if Apple had decided to buy ReMail instead. If Cselle was working on the iPhone's native email application, that would have been better for Apple than this may turn out to be if he helps make Android's email the best in the mobile world. ReMail's founder was previously a VP of Engineering at the very ambitious Outlook plug-in provider Xobni . He left Xobni and ended up creating something very different. Cselle says he had a "multi-step plan for global email domination" but received advice "that instead I should build something small, simple, and useful." The end result? "It worked," he says. The man that gave him that advice and invested in his company, was Paul Buchheit , the creator of Gmail. Finally, Google just acquired a native mobile app, built on another platform. Much has been made of Google's emphasis on moving everything to HTML5 and the mobile web. But here's evidence that you can build an innovative application in an entirely different direction and still capture the company's eye. (Admittedly it probably helps to be super connected like Cselle was.) Discuss
