Posted on by Jay

Yes, you read it right! We’ve developed a photo sharing app in just less than 20 hours. We named it Andolapic and its quite amazing like Instagram. We’ve maintained optimum quality and functionality to improve your photo sharing experience.

Earlier when Mark Zuckerberg came up with Facebook, it was only for social networking with messaging. But then he included photo sharing which made it extremely popular among youth mass. In the recent past Instagram came up with a nice bread-butter photo sharing app. It includes more social platforms and due to its huge popularity, Facebook partially bought Instagram. To make the photo sharing more easier we’ve developed Andolapic, a built on top social photo sharing app that lets you share your photos with your friends instantly. You can get it from iTunes

KurrentJobs.com – A Better Choice for Technical Recruiters

Posted on by Jay

The Start-up trend is rising in the webosphere. Inspired from companies like Facebook, Foursquare and Instagram, many people are willing to implement their ideas as start-ups. As your start-up company grows you need right people to do your jobs and that’s what most of the recruiters are tired about. There are many information technology job portals on the web featuring start-up jobs, but they still got hung around with some loop holes. We had gone through some start-up job posting sites in the past few months and found that:

Most of the job sites-

  •     Ask for registration by filling out long forms, we bet, you shy away from this!
  •     Limited to major countries (like UK, USA etc.)
  •     Confused over jobs, news, companies and widgets
  •     Limited or no free job posting allowed (some charges between 99 to 400 USD per job)
  •     Don’t come up with job types
  •     Don’t support social login with Facebook or Twitter
  •     Somewhat biased to either employers or candidates

“KurrentJobs.com runs where others can’t walk”

Yes! After finding these we developed KurrentJobs.com, a technical job board where we tried to mend all the loop holes. KurrentJobs.com is an ideal free job posting site for technical recruiters and this doesn’t mean we forgot the applicants. See how KurrentJobs.com can help both Recruiters and Applicants,

Facebook Login Support: Clients no more have to go through filling up forms for registration. Just login through your Facebook account and start posting jobs.

Easy Job Posting: We bet you can complete your job posting in less than sixty seconds, which would be taking 2-3 minutes in other websites.

What’s Your Job Type: You can post job types as per your requirements among Full-time, Freelance, Internship and Contractual. Its actually beneficial for both employer and applicants.

Apply through LinkedIn:Applicants feel the same about form filling as the recruiters. So we allow applicants to apply for jobs by logging into their LinkedIn profile.

Lightweight ATS:We’ve made the application tracking system simple in kurentJobs.com.

With all of these features and more, KurrentJobs.com is surely a better choice for start-up jobs and companies. So do you think it can help you too. Why not give it a try?

Why Android Shouldn’t get threatened from Windows 8

Posted on by Jay

android-logo_in_deviceMicrosoft has announced its upcoming OS Windows 8 on February 2012 which will be launched in the coming Fall. There are loads of features in Windows 8, but will it be a strong contender in the tablet or smartphone war? Android now covers 50-55 percentage of mobile and tablet markets around the world and most the custom software development companies choose android application development as their primary expertise. One of the great advantages of Android over Windows 8 is its open source, free and customizable. Let’s compare some of the key features of the above two and see as below.

Home Screen:

Home screen in both Android and Windows 8 are great with amazing dynamic icons and widget controls. Windows 8 placed icons and widgets in a more dynamic and usable manner, which is great for first-party apps. But when it come to third-party apps icons, justifying them is a lot harder. But in case of Android everything is customizable as the widgets can be re-sized, icons adjust themselves as per space on home screen and widgets show a lot information.

Browser Syncing:

Google provides the Chrome for Android, which has a great desktop sync including bookmark and search sync. Browser Sync is virtually absent with the Internet Explorer running on Windows 8.

App Market:

In the app Market there are around 600,000 apps based for android platforms whereas Windows based apps count only to 100,000 odd. It seems in the coming days it will be very difficult for Windows to catch up with android the way it grows. Most of the individual developers and custom software development companies are releasing apps based on android application development to the app stores offering a steep competition to windows.

Price Comparison of Tablets:

Manufacturers of Windows 8 tablets will have to use Windows 8 RT licenses costing around 90-100$ per device to build the devices which is a lot of money if compared to the free Android licensing. So the windows tablets will cost 30-40 percentage more than the Android tablets.

Apart from the above, Windows 8 lacks functionality in Voice Commands, Maps and Call Features as compared to Android. Even if Windows 8 have some advantages on Office Suites, Video Chatting, Wallets and user-friendliness, but it still has a long long way to go to level with the standards of Android.

Android Application Development is one of the major services offered by Andolasoft supported by experienced android developers who build the best apps as per your requirements.

We’ve developed apps based on restoration management, online to-do list services, rigging capacity tracking, baby vaccination tracking and on many other projects.

Nexus 7: A Stepping Stone for Google Androids

Posted on by Jay

android-logo_in_device

Nexus 7, an android tablet and the first tablet in the Nexus Series has been launched on June, 2012 at the Google I/O conference. Google has developed the tablet in association with ASUS to give competition to similar devices developed by Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and Blackberry. The tablet is available to buyers through Google Play and taking orders for mid-July deliveries. The Nexus7 costs around $199 which is same as compared to Kindle Fire from Amazon or Nook Tablet from Barnes and Nobles.

As compared to the price, the tablet has got a lot of functionality to look for and as it is customizable, so it would give an edge to the developers. As of now android developers were developing apps for android phones and tablets like Galaxy, which are less of a competitor to iPad. But with launch of Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean as the new upgraded OS, Android application development industries would have the edge to develop apps for the real android brand Google with an android tablet users base. With great craftsmanship, the Nexus 7 has been designed well with a good front end which doesn’t hold to finger prints unlike iPad. The back side of the tablet is made up of rubber and nicely textured giving you feel of leather. It helps you to hold it in hand without any discomfort and it is much lighter as compared to Fire or Nook.

Nexus 7 has got a low resolution camera facing the user and can be used for video conferencing, but it doesn’t have a rear camera. What Asus explained to not having a rear camera in Nexus 7 is that including the rear camera in the tablet would increase the price point and also it lies unused after sometime. Nexus 7 is thinner, sleek and has got higher resolution compare to its competitors. It also has a microphone for audio conferencing which you will not find in Kindle Fire. Most importantly Nexus runs on Jelly Bean, the latest Android platform, having access to wide variety of apps around the web. Features like Google Play, Google Now and Voice Search makes you entertained all day long.

On hardware upgrades it has Bluetooth and GPS chips to help with data transfer and navigation respectively. The Home Screen is much more dynamic and customizable as compared to iPad. The performance of Nexus 7 is much faster with the help of feature Project Butter and the transitions among applications is lot easier. Nexus 7 has all the best features to beat its prey competitors on the battleground and it will surely be a stepping stone for Google in tablet development.
