With more than 300,000 applications for iOS devices, Apple’s iTunes App Store is a marketplace of enormous proportion. Apple has released its annual iTunes Rewind feature and named its apps of the year, which makes this the perfect time to reflect on the apps that have managed to best the competition and rise to the top of the charts this year. The new styles of Apple accessories include chargers, a stand, Bluetooth keyboard and stylus with integrated ballpoint pen to suit the needs of every iPad user.

That’s great, but what are the final top 9 apps really like? Below they are:

The first is Doodle Jump. If you used to play simple games, then this is for you. All you’ve got to do in Doodle jump is keeping jumping your little alien thing-me-bob further up the screen. The higher you go the better score you get. There is little to this game to be honest, however like Canabalt and all those flash games that you’ve lost an afternoon in the office too, this can become incredibly addictive. Apple no doubt loved the fact that to control the movement of your little critter you’ve got to tilt the iPhone from side to side. Tilt too far and you’ll miss that all important ledge.

The second one is Financial Times. Before you get too excited about this app being free, it is only currently free until 31 July 2010. However that said the FT shows us what a newspaper app can and will be like when it comes to consuming news on the go. Complete with its trademark pink paper, stories are displayed in traditional newspaper column format with you working your way left to right to read more. Of course its not all about words, there is video and photos too, although some of the FT journo’s are clearly scared by the idea that having been able to hide behind their typewriters now they are having to read off autocue.

For the Brushes for iPhone, you can get both an iPhone and iPad version of this app, and annoyingly unlike some dual apps you’ll have to buy this one twice. What you do get though is an app that lets you paint to your hearts content on your Apple device with a variety of brushes, layers, blend modes, and then the chance to undo or redo if you make a mistake.

While the TabToolkit is a guitar tablature and music notation viewer that lets you see how tracks are played out so you can learn the moves to your favorite’s songs. Off the bat you’ll get a handful of tracks to listen and watch, and although they are pretty basic – Star Bangled Banner anyone? – They do give you an idea of how it all works before you go about importing your own sheet music.

Articles are available for both iPhone and iPad, Articles is basically a way to look at Wikipedia pages from your Apple device rather than head over to the site itself.

Jamie’s 20 Minute Meals is in fact a digital cook book.

Star Walk for iPad for the people who is interested in the stars, but aren’t really sure where Orion is or how many stars make up Cassiopeia. Hoping to give you a helping hand is Star Walk, an iPad and iPhone app that will let you see where the stars are in the sky.

Real Racing is one app that Apple has been touting for ages. And as a popular app so it’s no real surprise that it made it in to their top list for winners of the awards.

Pinball HD, it’s the classic pinball machine re-jigged for the iPad. You’ll get three pinball tables to begin with – Wild West, The Deep, and The Jungle, with the option to buy more tables from the app store when and if you want.

All the above apps, have all been downloaded by us from the App Store, and had a play, in order to give you our hands-on opinion, rather than just regurgitating what the blurb says.

6 Summer Dangers For Kids

When you think of summer you think of mowing the grass, warm weather, sunny days, swimming, picnics and more. Most people never think about the dangers of summer especially for children until it is too late.
 
There are 6 major dangers that face children every summer.

Dehydration
Sunburn
Fireworks
Playground accidents
Drowning
Animals

Dehydration is a factor for children because they love to be outside playing and they do not want to stop in the middle of play time to re-hydrate themselves with a glass of water or other liquids.
 
Sunburns can be an issue if parents do not remind their children to apply their sunscreen before going outside to play. It is best if the parent helps the child apply the sunscreen so they know that all areas exposed to the sun are covered and covered generously. Burns on children can be incredibly painful and unnecessary.
 
Fireworks can be dangerous around the Fourth of July. All children like seeing the bright colors in the sky and sparklers but parents need to help their children be especially careful during firework season so no one is seriously hurt or killed.
 
Playgrounds can be dangerous due to the large amounts of children on them during the summertime. It is easy for someone to get kicked by someone on the swing as they run in front, fall off the monkey bars, etc. Make sure to keep an eye on your children while they play and have your first aid kit handy just in case.
 
Drowning is the scariest danger of the summer. Parents should put their children in swimming classes or teach them how to swim themselves so that their children are comfortable and safe around the water. Never, ever leave a child unoccupied near the water no matter what the age.
 
Animals can pose a danger to children due to heat. When an animal gets hot and uncomfortable it may become feisty or frisky and snap at a child for no reason. Please make sure that your pets have plenty of water and shade to stop them from being a danger to small children.
 
Be cognizant of these dangers and help your children have a wonderful, safe and enjoyable summer.

About Blackberry Application Development

BlackBerry is a line of mobile e-mail and smartphone devices that are developed and designed by Canadian company Research in Motion. They have been around since 1996. BlackBerry functions as a personal digital assistant that usually features an address book, a calendar, and a to-do list, to name a few. It normally functions as a portable media player as well, capable of supporting music and video playback along with camera picture and video capabilities.

BlackBerry is most famous for its ability to send and receive email wherever there is a mobile network signal around or through a Wi-Fi connection. BlackBerry is mainly a messaging phone that has the largest array of messaging features in a smartphone to date. It holds a 20% share of worldwide smartphone sales, which makes it the second most popular platform after Nokia’s Symbian OS. The very first BlackBerry device was introduced in 1999. It was a two-way pager. It was not until 2002 that the BlackBerry smartphone was released.

The original BlackBerry came with a monochrome display. Today, all BlackBerry models have colour displays. All current models except for the Storm series have a built in QWERTY keyboard that is optimized for thumb typing.

How to make a strong impact in Blackberry application development depends entirely on what sort of applications you are offering to your target audience. There are several companies out there that offer Blackberry app developer services to help people develop or outsource the development of their programs.

The important thing to remember is what your Blackberry application development idea is there for. A smartphone, to some people is as important as a limb to them. Your Blackberry app developer should aim to make apps that are quick, easy to use, and can take full advantage of all the features that are built around it.

One of the first things you should do before considering Blackberry application development is to take a look at all the applications available for the blackberry on the Internet. Study what kind of services are available and see what you can offer. You can either come up with something new or you can focus your Blackberry application development idea on improving something that is already available. Keeping a close eye on the competition is a good idea. Even when you have finished with your Blackberry application development you should still keep an eye out for the competition to see how they react to your app.

Anybody who applies to have their work featured will have to include an icon, so you should consider getting something bold and appealing to get peoples attention and make them take a look at what you have to offer. You need to make a good first impression. Next thing to consider with Blackberry application development is the substance of your app. You wont get far if all you have going for you is looking good. Your blackberry app developer should focus on being user friendly as well. The best kinds of apps are the ones that do not need an instruction manual because they are self explanatory and easy to use. Apps that require people to have to go through a lengthy readme file or to search the Internet to find instructions tend to be unattractive and are likely to be avoided by a lot of people. If people have to do this, they are very likely to get frustrated and it is unlikely that they recommend it to their friends.

A Blackberry app developer should also focus on making apps that are quick and responsive. While presentation is also important, if the app is too slow or may take a while to register, then it will lose popularity and will not be used by many.

One other factor that a Blackberry app developer should consider is the battery life. An app that sucks the life out of the battery quickly is generally avoided. It will also be very helpful if it has an offline capacity so that it can be used in an area with bad reception as well.

One more thing a blackberry app developer should focus on is the size of the app. An acceptable standard would be 2MB for a game and 1.5MB for anything concerning social networking. These are normally two kinds of apps that catch the attention of people quickly and are the types that are most commonly downloaded.

Social networking is also a great way of making your apps more popular. People can be encouraged more easily to take a look at an app and pass it on to their friends through this. One thing to consider is to balance out your approach in promotion. If you do not do it enough, then your app will go unnoticed, but if you do it too much, your app will be considered a nuisance like spam.
