Dynamically controlling your iPhone app from the Web

It is possible to control your iPhone from a remote location via web. It ranges from sending push messages to all of your users, some cross promotion activities, enabling/disabling the features at a particular time, sending picture messages, etc. All of this can be easily done with a little JSON and some web interface coding.

Practically, here is what the code structure will look like:

{

    "nag": true,

    "message": "Check out Smart Lockscreen Creator!",

    "url": "http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-lockscreen-creator/id419890996?mt=8"

}

Here, there would be one simple ‘nag’ popup that will nag the User to download the latest application. After you set the remote flag to continue, all the users will see the popup every time they launch the application. This popup will also display a dynamic message from the web and link to a location specified in the JSON.

The numbers of ways at which this can be implemented practically vary as:

Ø  Loading some application or a part of the application

Ø  Daily cross promotion activities

Ø  Daily content – like news, jokes, thoughts, etc.

and so on..

Happy iPhone programming!

Siri: Intellegent Software in iPhone 4S

Apple never specified what ‘S’ stands for in iPhone ‘4S.’ I wander it may be for ‘Siri’ !!!

http://www.iphonequalityapplications.com/

To let you know, Siri is the most innovative voice-recognition software that comes with iPhone 4S. this enhanced and wonderful voice tool is an iteration on Apple’s previous Voice Control feature that debuted in the iPhone 3GS in 2009, but it allowed only voice-powered dialing and music selection.

To give you an idea about what Siri is, it takes about 2.5 to 3 seconds to create a reminder with a voice command, as opposed to 10 seconds to manually type an event in a to-do list or calendar entry.

Some of the exciting features are:

Ø  It acts as you personal assistant and uses voice to send messages, schedule meetings

Ø  It is mostly used better to control the iPhone’s default apps, such as creating reminders, setting the alarm clock and composing an e-mail or text message.

Ø  Directly update Facebook and Twitter updates

Ø  Integrated with Wikipedia, Wolfram Aplha &  Yelp

Ø  It can be used to pay your credit card bill through the Chase app, or to order your Chinese delivery through GrubHub, or to book your flight through the Kayak app.

Ø  Compute calculations on a voice command

Ø  By default, if you hold the iPhone up to your ear, Siri is activated, so it looks like you’re talking to someone on the phone rather than talking to the phone itself. Clever? Indeed.

and so on…
