iOS 7 wants: Actionable notifications and push interface By   Rene Ritchie ,  25 Notification Center  debuted in iOS 5 and began transforming Apple's old, unscalable, modal alert system into something less obtrusive and more robust. Unfortunately, iOS 6 spent so much time setting up the future --  kicking Google to the curb, outsourcing social, and improving support for Asia  -- that notifications were left pretty much at a standstill. Hopefully  iOS 7 's  flatter and more consistent redesign  won't occupy the lion's share of attention this time around, and Notification Center will not only catchup, but leap ahead. And hopefully it'll start with the transition from informational alerts to actionable ones. This isn't a new request by any means. Many people have made it many times, including me last year . Palm had the beginnings of it in webOS, jailbreak apps like BiteSMS  have been doing for ages, and Google  started ...

As  Foursquare evolves , it wants to help you find either new places to check out or lead you to places where your friends have already been. Mixed in with that is recommendation technology to show you places that you might be interested in based on where you’ve been before. Today, Foursquare updated its  iOS  and  Android  apps with an  advanced search option that lets you control how the service seeks out new venues  for you. In its blog post today, Foursquare “dares” you to get “super specific” with your searches. Basically, the company is saying that they have enough data to find any place that you could imagine. One of the example searches is: “A cheap sushi place that’s nearby and open now, but that I haven’t been to yet.” Again, this is a search performed based on all of the data that Foursquare has collected over the years, but its first move into a more conversational search experience. Companies like Google are jumping on this bandwago...

Apple’s iOS 7 could introduce deep integration with Flickr and Vimeo, similar to how Twitter and Facebook are currently built into the company’s mobile ecosystem. According to 9to5Mac , those partnership talks first mentioned  back in April  are turning up some exciting opportunities for the two companies; Flickr would be a huge one for both, especially since Yahoo  just announced 1TB of free storage  for every Flickr user. Presumably, users will input their Flickr/Vimeo credentials into the settings menu and then have the option to upload photos and videos directly from the iOS Photos app. That simple integration is a no-brainer, and would quickly grow Flickr’s forgotten photo-sharing emporium. Apple’s iPhone is already the  most popular method for shooting photos —adding Flickr integration would instantly spike the device’s presence up even more. Vimeo integration would work in a similar fashion, giving users the option to upload immediately ...

An introduction to cross-platform mobile development technologies Introduction Smartphones and tablets are becoming ubiquitous, and, with them, mobile apps. But what does the proliferation of different devices mean for developers entering the market? Do you target a single platform, build your app twice for iOS and Android, or use a cross-platform framework? Here’s a bit of history, and an overview of the different technologies on the market now: First, there was the iPhone There were smartphones before the iPhone and there were mobile apps as well. Windows CE was first released in 1996, but it was Apple’s iPhone (launched in 2007) that really signaled the start of the smartphone era. Originally, the iPhone didn’t allow third-party native-code apps to be installed; developers wanting to add their own content had to do so using HTML web apps running in the phone’s browser. There were some extensions to make such apps look like Apple’s...
