Erudito is an RSS news aggregator iPad App developed specifically for the consumer of massive amounts of news. Erudito brings a solution to the problem faced by the consumer of massive amount of news forced to flip or scroll excessively trough the news titles presented by his current agreggator. Erudito’s flexible grid interface elegantly holds a lot of news so one can more efficiently browse large amounts of titles and spot those of interest. http://www.erudito-app.com/

“There are lots of excellent and beautiful news aggregator apps around already. Yet, as consumers of large amount of news ourselves, we were never completely satisfied by the experience those apps offer. Other apps forced us to flip or scroll excessively trough pages and pages of news in order to have an overview of recent titles,” explains Benjamin Melki, the App director. Another problem faced with current aggregators was the impractical way of jumping from one category or specific feed to another. Erudito is designed to eliminate those inefficiencies: it offers a wide overview of news titles trough a grid presentation, and easy switching of content display through a practical toolbar.

Some of the main features of the app include:

• Importing categories and feeds from a Google Reader account.
• Grid presentation for efficient overview of news titles. Displaying grid of 25, 16 or 9 cells.
• Magic toolbar to jump instantly from a category or feed to another.
• Marking grid cells as read while scrolling
• Custom categories with selected list of feeds only. Ability to display a single category, a specific feed, or the entire collection of feeds.
• Reader view to display the original website, RSS content, or Readability formatted content.
• Sending news items to Pocket, Readability, Facebook…
• Saving favorite news items into the Favorites folder.
• Multi-account handling, each with their categories and feeds.

Development of Erudito by Kaeria EURL is ongoing with plans to release a constant flow of new features and optimizations

Austin has been named the best place for new startups by the likes of Forbes and recently became the second city chosen to receive Google Fiber, beat out only by Kansas City, Kansas. University of Texas is also a large driving force behind the growing startup community, with programs centered around entrepreneurial pursuits.

Startups better have true grit to gain acceptance into the TechStars program. Although thousands of companies apply each year, TechStars only invests money and time in about ten companies per program location. If you are hopefully optimistic, TechStars will launch its first program this August, and is currently accepting applications.

Living in Austin provides the social netting to help inspire people to quit their day jobs and make the leap into starting their own business.

Resultly plans to leverage John’s knowledge and expertise in improving, growing, building unique consumer relationships to leave a targeted value impression. John’s social influence will help position Resultly at the intersection of a new space, one that meshes social, mobile, and search into a single app. Resultly plans to align itself as the one cool tool users need to stay on top of all the content they are interested in. This unique partnership of bringing someone from outside the technology space, gives Resultly a unique perspective into the consumer world that it would not otherwise have. Thru the partnership, Resultly will tap into John’s ability to engrain brands throughout pop culture using non-traditional marketing and branding techniques.

Resultly provides users with a mobile app to stay on top of all their interests. Tapping into the web’s largest ecommerce, travel, news, and social sites lets Resultly bring users items exactly matching their interest the second they hit the web. Resultly aims to eliminate the need for users to continue checking the Internet for updates on the things they care most about.

“We knew we had a hit product that we needed to make cool for mass consumers. Even Kim Kardashian sent a tweet last year stating how she keeps checking eBay for a pair of shoes everyday that’s sold out,” said Ilya Beyrak, Founder of Resultly. “If even Kim can’t find a pair of shoes and keeps repeatedly checking online, imagine how many others suffer the same fate,” added Beyrak regarding the use of Resultly.

“When I first tried Resultly, I was blown away by the product in the first couple seconds of playing with it. It easily solves one of the biggest problems with search in a way that all of the big competitors aren’t addressing,” said John. “It was hard not to get excited about the product and additional value that I could bring.” Resultly realized there was a real world problem of users repeating search behavior online to get the freshest content: the need for constantly checking if something has been added or updated online. Thru its service, once a specific interest is added to a users’ account, Resultly stays on the lookout for things matching that interest automatically. Users then receive detailed alerts to their mobile device with the key information around those items. Products receive key information like images, price, color, and condition, while Job alerts show salary, location, and position.

“Users on the go – walking, exercising, commuting or driving – can’t keep up with the content they like, because they can’t or don’t want to read; this is the very real problem that WizardGo come to solve,” says Hernan Restrepo, Tech Lead of the WizardGo Team, “current content reader apps fall short in solving this problem, as it requires users’ full visual attention, a condition that simply can’t be met while on the go”.

The WizardGo team says they found in Vocalware an ideal partner for its voice features. “The combination of an easy to use, low cost, high quality cloud API, is key to being able to deliver a quality and scalable experience. We were really impressed with how mature Vocalware’s TTS technology is, and were able to fully integrate with the Vocalware API within a couple of hours,” said Restrepo.

Vocalware is excited to see innovative apps like WizardGo being built on top of its API. “This is a great example of using the cloud to democratize developers’ access to advanced technology”, said Eric Kiang, Product Director of Vocalware. “Making our voice APIs available on the cloud opens them up to being widely and creatively used”.

With thousands of developers signed on to its service, Vocalware is seeing rapid adoption of its cloud based voice API.

The Plus.io platform also supplies a sandbox along with Timeline to edit the user interface. In this sandbox, the developer will see exactly what the user will see on the Glass device and will be able to customize each Timecard and its visual layout. The platform also provides geofencing capabilities that activate when a user enters a specific geographic area. This feature naturally works well with Google Glass and the ideas coming forth from the Glass development community. Bill Maris from Google Ventures said, “We all know the power of platforms. When you have a great product and robust APIs that will unlock the imagination of entrepreneurs, amazing things happen. We saw it with the web, we saw it with the app store.”

According to new research from IMS Research, a subsidiary of IHS, the market for wearable devices is expected to exceed $6 billion by 2016. Currently the focus of the wearable market is within the health care, medical and fitness industries. Theo Ahadome, senior analyst at IMS Research, said, “A $6 billion market in 2016 is our most conservative forecast which assumes that the adoption of wearable technology will be limited by factors including lack of suitable technology, poor user compliance and lack of an overall enhanced experience from devices that are wearable as compared to non-wearable products.”

Chinavasion has released the Android rugged phone ‘Rhino’, one of only two 4.1 Android phones in the world to meet tough US military MIL-STD-810G standards.

MIL-STD-810G compliant products face rigorous vibration, drop and temperature tests to ensure they will withstand conditions found in the battlefield.

Electronic devices with the standard need to work after have been dropped 1.2m on to plywood 26 times.

Devices also need to remain operational after being tested in the hottest days, with temperatures as high as 134 degrees Fahrenheit, and one for the coldest days likely to be found in the basic design areas as well as a test coping with high humidity conditions.

The “Rhino” Android 4.1 phone is able to survive under tough conditions and has the highest possible waterproof rating of IP67. This says a lot about how good this phone is, says Rose Li, PR manager of a China Android phone seller.

“With rubber sealed headphone and data ports and separate screw-on panels for the battery and the SIM card this phone has earned the name Rhino like no other could,” says Li. “The Rhino will keep on working in conditions that would prove too much for the low cost phones.”

Chinavasion has matched durability with performance says Li as the Rhino sports the cutting edge Android 4.1 operating system, a 8MP camera as well as a range of connectivity features.

“You can use the Rhino’s 3G tethering capabilities to get internet access with a computer anywhere in the world with 3G data access,” says Li. “This makes it almost an essential tool for any adventurous business people traveling to remote places.” “And with a 8MP camera you could even use it to capture all your images.”

Just as all the checklist risk assessments (IISC Collection), the CBAC can be purchased in the abridged or full version. Both tools include the exact same assessment instrument, but the full version has a considerable amount of additional cyberbullying and cyber attack prevention relevant information used for education and assessment.

Cyber Bully Abuser Checklist (CBAC): The Cyber Bully Abuser Checklist is a 75 item education, assessment and data collection tool designed for parents, teachers, educators and pediatric professionals on a pre-pubescent, adolescent or young adult’s vulnerability and risk potential of being a cyber bully and/or engaging in cyber victimization of others. The CBAC queries and explores areas developmentally relevant to school aged children.

The goal of the CBAC is to investigate & educate children on their vulnerability and risk potential of engaging in teasing, taunting, harassment and disparagement other children using Information and Communications Technology (ICT). In addition to an education, assessment and data collection tool, the CBAC has been designed to allow teachers, educators and pediatric professionals to interview, collect data and engage in a dialogue with children on their Information and Communications Technology (ICT) practices.

The CBAC combines common factors causing children and young adults to tease, harass and target other children motivated by their need for peer acceptance and feelings of domination, power and control. The CBAC can also be used to educate children and classes of students on cyberbullying prevention and intervention. Furthermore, the CBAC is helpful educating children on bullying/cyber bullying bystander dynamics and cyberbullying target recognition skills building. The CBAC also addresses the growth of mobile device technology and attempts by iPredators to infiltrate their target’s mobile devices.

What we know so far is that Apple is working on a Samsung like workflow of having a phone version that is the size and price for everyone. We do know at least that Apple has a cheaper version of the iPhone in the works, but how cheap is that to Apple? Other reports have hinted at a double release of an iPhone 5S as a low cost option and a iPhone 6 as the new top-of-the-line model.

Not giving up on its trademark design, Apple has been willing to push back specs in order to minimize cost for a group of users who would like an iPhone and can not really afford the price that goes with it. So could the iPhone 5S screensize make a difference compared to say a full featured iPhone 6 with a new front camera? Time will tell as we move closer to the release date.

Samsung is clearly the biggest smartphone maker thanks to its large international prescience, but Apple boasts the largest App Store that everyone is wanting to take a bite at from their phone. Putting a cheaper entry level device into the market might be the answer Apple has been seeking to grow their international sales.

Right now it is all about screensize and cameras, as comparable models that offer competition to the current iPhone are being released with both larger screens and better cameras included like the HTC One. The HTC One boasts a 4MP UltraPixel rear camera. “Besides the fact that the new front-facing camera of the iPhone 5S will now have full HD video recording capabilities, the new iOS 7 will bring support for capturing photos with the front-facing and primary camera in the same time,” says iOSDoc.

Further, a report from CNet shows the possibility of multiple screensizes and a July 2013 release date. Topeka analyst Brian White was quote in the article from an investors meeting. “We believe Apple is coming around to the fact that one size per iPhone release does not work for everyone, and offering consumers an option has the potential to expand the company’s market share,” White said.

So if two models (or more) are released, what will they be named and what features will they have? The mystery still goes on if we are looking at a iPhone 5S screensize change or a new iPhone 6 front camera being included, but we do know that Apple continues to chug along with a surprise as usual.
