Mail, leaner, more powerful

Mail has learned from apps like Sparrow or Clear and now has a new set of gestures to mark a message or delete it. Better yet, if you have ever encountered locked emailing unable to check other mails, anymore: can now drag down the eraser to access any other mail, open it, copy what you want and return to the mail we were writing with another gesture. It is also more intelligent recognizing the content of the emails to add an event from the Confirmation of a reservation and the like.

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Upon its release in late March, Microsoft Office applications for iPad already accumulated more than 27 million downloads, and that only in the top 10 markets. This has been assured Julia White, director general of the Office division, during its keynote at the TechEd conference in Houston.

J. White has not offered any data on the percentage of conversion of these free downloads from current users with a subscription of Office 365, which may help us to see things with a little more perspective on the success of an initiative that Microsoft was reluctant to launch.

On the one hand this mark reached in 46 days, on the other hand reflects an understandable slowdown downloads when compared to the first 12 million downloads achieved just one week after its release in the App Store when permeating the top of the ranking free downloads. 

Since then, word has remained in the United States a remarkable fourth place while Excel and PowerPoint have fallen up to the number 18 and 23 respectively.

DOTS, connect the points

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

In a few days will be fulfilled one year since I downloaded a game called Dots at the recommendation of a friend. It is one of those apps that stand out for its minimalism, simplicity and beauty, which also contains a very entertaining complexity. 

After a year playing, it's definitely one of my favorite apps. In this post I would recommend it.

Getting Started with Dots

"In the end, everything is connected" - Charles Eames, architect, designer and filmmaker.

Dots is a game of collecting points of the same color. That's it. You do not have realistic graphics or complicated rules. Once you join all the points that you used to draw the line disappear, dropping circles located above and inputting new ones. 

In the tutorial they give you the key to ending the greatest number of points at a time. What you have to do is close the line with the geometric shape you want, from a square to an irregular shape. If you do, all points of the same color disappear even if not connected to your figure. 

Easy, right? Not so much 

In classic game mode you have only 60 seconds to eliminate as many points as possible. This limitation is precisely what makes it a perfect Dots addictive game for pecking between meals on our iPhone. If you take up this connectivity to social networks to sting you with your contacts, we have an explosive mixture.

Some strategies to squeeze Dots

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple is working on a platform dedicated to health and fitness similar to the AppStore. The company is seeking with this move that other companies develop and publish their own future medical applications for iWatch.

The medium includes news, Reuters, published the words of a senior executive engaged in the business of health that would not reveal his identity. The executive says he recently met with the team responsible for developing iWatch and that "Apple's aspirations go beyond supplements and smart watches. They are considering creating a digital platform focused on health and fitness AppStore-style "applications.

It is speculated that the next version of Apple's operating system, iOS 8 include the Healthbook. This application automatically collect all data from biometric sensors compatible devices, like the iPhone 6 or the next iWatch future. That is why the company aims to open an app store to third parties so that they can leverage that data.

Latest news confirms that the company wants strong bet on the next iWatch, while expected to replace the iPod as a music player. Still no definite release date or price for the iWatch.

Cloak: antisocial social network

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

There are days when you just want to be alone and no communication with the outside world. No matter the reason, or even no reason, simply is like we are. At such times our iPhone can help us in getting silence. That is the goal that has Cloak, will help us not to talk to anyone.

To achieve, this application connects to social networks you use (Foursquare, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook ...) and tells us if a contact has posted a message whose location is near us. Thus, if we go down the street, Cloak notify us that he or she are approaching. Quick, changes sidewalk!

We can even choose the range you want to use, and if we want to serve for everyone or just for a list of people who have marked. Maybe we just want to avoid certain people. Very basic, free, with good design an application.

The App Store launched a new section to highlight the best of each month

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple yesterday launched a new section on the App Store, which highlights the best of the month in apps and games in several categories. It is unclear whether this will become a habit each month. 

Among the prominent applications of this month, for example, are the original Leo's Fortune and the already popular Hearthstone. This can also be a good way to go looking for alternatives to highlight applications beyond the classical section highlights where we have seen many applications use unethical methods to get a square ways.

The code of iOS 7.1 hides references to Siri for Apple TV

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Blazquez Pierre, a French developer references found in iOS 7.1 code that could confirm a rumor: the arrival of Siri to Apple TV. In one of the files the wizard voice of Apple three families of devices are reflected according to the records kept by the company on the block identified the iPhone and iPod touch (family 1), iPad (2) and the Apple TV (3). 

These references can be found in both iOS 7.1 and the latest version 7.1.1, but not 7.0.6 as previous ones, so we can assume that this is a recent development, perhaps, with a little luck , see materialized in a future update of the Apple TV hardware level.

The current model, which by the way, no microphone, was released in March 2012 surpassing today the longest period of time elapsed before a renewal: 777 days versus 377 average for this "hobby" of Apple. Rumors have already repeatedly mentioned integration with Siri as a new interface and the expected presentation of an App Store that allows you to download apps and games directly on the set-top box from Apple. 

2014 will be finally the year that all this true?

Apple and Google asking developers to exclusive games

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Both companies offer incentives such as discounts, exclusive or more temporary presence in their digital stores.

Apple and Google are trying to get developers to create exclusive games for their devices. According to a report that includes The Wall Street Journal, both companies offer incentives to game developers, such as more visibility into their digital stores or exclusive functions.

The report notes that Apple got an exclusive agreement with Electronic Arts for the popular strategy game "Plants vs. Zombies 2». The agreement was that Apple would give the game a more aggressive promotion in the AppStore, in exchange for the title to be exclusive to iOS platforms over a period of two months. The same happened with the game "Cut The Rope 2 '. The developer, ZeptoLab, agreed to an exclusivity agreement three months that the title change was always present and view the AppStore.

Apple is not the only performing these maneuvers. The report notes that Google has done similar actions. According to the Russian developer Game Insight, it was common for Google would give them aid when incorporating objects to play, provided they had the shape or appearance of the Android robot mascot.

The report says that for a long time, companies have always opted to launch their first games for iOS devices. This trend seems to be changing in recent years and some developers do not yield to the demands of Apple or Google. They prefer to launch their digital stores in both games simultaneously and make the most profit possible.

Still, it is not surprising that Google and Apple try to perform such maneuvers and attract more players to their platforms. As stated in the study, it is estimated that mobile users spend annually more than $ 16 billion, and of this amount, 70% is spent on video games.

Office for iPad is now cheaper with the Personal plan: $69 per year

One of the drawbacks that most people have pointed out the new Office for iPad is its price: $99 for a normal annual subscription (although there are cheaper plans for students). But Microsoft has been taking off result of its presence in the App Store, so they have squeezed its offer a bit more and now offer a subscription called Personal Office 365 for $69 per year.

This plan allows us to install Office on an iPad and a Mac, which is what the vast majority of home users need. To install on more machines have to pass the usual plan of $99 per year, but remember that Office is completely free if you only want to view documents without editing. 

Not forget that Office is free on the iPhone, so Microsoft lowers its presence in all our Apple devices these $69 per year. What I wonder now is if they paid a regular subscription to this plan can jump lowered or have to wait a year...
