Happy Friday!Outside of our window, Apple’s flagship store in downtown Palo Alto has a line around the block with consumers eagerly waiting for the new iPhone 4S equipped with iOS 5 software. As we mentioned last week, iOS 5 is a major upgrade in Apple’s mobile operating system that complements the new hardware release, and we have scoured the web for an exhaustive review of the new features and how they will impact you. Next, check out some tips on how to better monetize your mobile apps as app store competition continues to heat up and developers need to do everything they can to stay relevant. The founders of GameYawp walk us through the positives and negatives of developing with HTML5 and talk through their new game, Zombie Typomaniac. Blackberry puts another hole in a sinking ship as they struggle to get their Rim email servers up and running for days. Lastly, the long–awaited Facebook native iPad app was released earlier this week, leveraging the larger screen by highlighting photos and videos beautifully.

Apple iOS 5
By Dan Moren, Macworld.com

An exhaustive review of all the features on iOS 5: make sure you’re taking full advantage!

 

A great overview on ways to continue monetizing your mobile apps, some fantastic points in this piece.

 

Staggering numbers coming out of Google today: 190M Android devices activated adding close to 600,000 new devices activated daily. Android certainly played a part in Google’s “gangbuster” third-quarter earnings well surpassing Wall Street analyst estimates.

 

Great tidbits and insights on developing games for HTML5.

 

A core switch failure created a backlog of messages in Europe that impacted other geographies.

 

If you have an iPad, it’s time to download the long awaited Facebook app.  While there are still a few bugs, overall we think it is a major step forward in how consumers will engage with social media.

Mobile Monday: Women in Wireless
When: Monday, October 3, 2011. 6-9 PM
Where: MaRS Auditorium, 101 College St, Toronto, ON

October will kick off our Fall sessions of MobileMonday Toronto. This event will be called Women in Wireless. We’re doing a panel on leaders in the industry.

 

The idea behind this event is to get new and experienced Ruby developers to connect, find interesting projects to work on, and show off cool things they found over the course of the night.

 

In Session #5, we’ll talk about considerations for designing a mobile app. What is the value of bringing on a graphic designer, a UI/UX designer or other professional right from the beginning? What tools and technologies can non-technical founders use to help with design? What active role can developers play in designing an app?

 

Join Mobilicity CEO Dave Dobbin as he shares his vision and reflects on a unique journey that has taken him from owning one of Western Canada’s largest cellular retail chains to competing with the country’s Big 3 carriers head on.
