Apple TV can run fullscreen iOS Applications - Unofficially


Apple TV is one of the low budget Apple iOS device from a company which provides total entertainment to its users. The price of the Apple TV is low as $99.00 contains powerful hardware specification includes Apple A4 chipset with a PowerVR SGX535 and 256 megabytes of RAM, running modified iOS builds from those on iPods touch, iPhone touch, and iPad touch. Apple TV exists as a media center settop box officially but users can also Run any iOS Applications including apps from iPhone, iPod and iPad on jailbroken Apple TV unofficially.


There is one video available on internet which provides you an evidence of runningiOS Apps on Apple TV. The video shows demo of some iOS Apps like Facebook, Maps, Safari and YouTube on a jailbroken Apple TV. This is not AirPlay, the apps are running directly from the Apple TV and scaling to 720p. 

According to MacDaddy News, MobileX is a window manager for iOS that replaces Springboard, letting iPhone and iPad apps run on the Apple TV. Since the Apple TV doesn’t have a touch screen, they are using a combination of VNC, SSH and the Apple Remote to launch and navigate apps. Once the app progress finalized by two developers, you will be able to launch apps using only the remote. I think its one of the cheapest way to run iOS Apps directly on $99 Apple TV.

Revenue Sharing Between iOS Apps and Android Apps


According to the latest report from Flurry.com about Comparison between iOS Appsand Android Apps Revenue Sharing, it’s revealed that iOS Apps are much profitable in terms of revenue as compare to Android Apps. iOS Apps make four times higher revenue as compare to Android platform. Flurry Analytics has also found that developers are choosing to start new projects on iOS over Android at a ratio of almost 3 to 1. No doubt Android is an open source platform and many big phone maker companies like Samsung, Motorola, Sony etc. is now offering Android devices but thestatistic makes it clear that Apple iOS is still more popular platform in terms of Apps Revenue as compare Android platform.


I personally think that Android is new in smartphone arena and it has potential to gain more revenue as compare to any other platform including iOS and its popularity speaks itself that it has already beat its competitors when choosing Smartphones.

Top Best Five (5) iPhone & iOS Alarm Clock Apps Review with Download Links



The iPhone comes with an alarm clock that is predictably named as the iClock. It has the basic alarm functions and works pretty well for most standard uses. For those of you who are looking for a snazzier alarm clock that has more features, the App marketis the place to be. Unfortunately, there are more alarm clock apps than any one human could possibly need and many of them are poorly built. Here’s a look at the best iPhonealarm clock apps that have good reviews and have been tested for efficacy. 

When you use a third party alarm app, remember to keep the alarm app in the foreground. If you forget to do this, then the app will work, but it your iPhone is in mute or vibrate mode, then the alarm ringer will not work. This is not the apps fault. Rather, it is the way the iOS has restricts the functionality of apps.

1)  Wake and Shake iOS App Review:

This alarm app has a very basic alarm clock with an interesting twist. It forces you to do a physical activity to shut off the alarm. The idea is to get rid of your sleepiness by forcing you to do a physical action. You have to shake the phone till a shake meter is filled to switch off the alarm. This cute alarm app costs just $1 on the app store. (Grab & Download Now)

2)  Alarmed iOS App Review:

This app is worth checking out as it is the exception to the rule that the app has to be in the foreground for the alarm to ring. Granted, this app does not have a customizable appearance or weather updates, but it is very utilitarian. It has timers and remindersand works even when the app is not on. (Grab & Download Now)

3)  Nightstand Central iOS App Review:

This $2 app is one of the most popular alarm clocks on the app store. Its main view displays the time and the weather. It allows you to toggle between the 12 hour and 24 hour format. You can even set up multiple alarms each with its own sound or music. An interesting feature that this app comes with is that is lets you turn on the iPhone’s LED light by just shaking the phone. It’s a very useful feature when you wake up in a dark hotel room while travelling. It also has a sleep timer that allows you to read a book orlisten to music for a set time and then shuts is off so that it does not play throughout the night. (Grab & Download Now)

4)  Radio Alarm iOS App Review:

This $2 app has been crafted with a lot of thought regarding its look, feel and usability. As the name states, it wakes you up by playing music from the radio. You can choose your favorite station from over 30,000 stations using SHOUTcast RADIO. Some of the nice touches added include the ability to set the volume so that you don’t miss thealarm, have a vibrate mode and even fade-in the music so you don’t wake with a jolt. (Grab & Download Now)

5)  Alarm Clock Pro iOS App Review:

This app brings the standard bedside LED lit alarm clock to the iPhone. It’s no nonsense look is great for people who prefer simplicity and it has most of the basic features that you would expect from a good alarm clock. (Grab & Download Now)

Earlier in our Blogpost we had mentioned the third party application through which Android and Apple iOS users can access Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint Docx files because of non-availability of official Microsoft Office App from Microsoft, but now good news for MS Office users of Apple iOS and Google Android that soon you will be able to get Official Microsoft Office Suite for iPad, iPhone and iPods and also for Google Android devices. According to BGR report Microsoft is soon going to release the official Microsoft Office Suite for iOS and Android running devices (may be in November-2012).



MS Office for iOS Devices


Microsoft has confirmed the news that they are working on a version of its widely popular MS. Office Suite for iOS and Android devices. The Daily has managed to get some of MS. Office leak pictures which are soon going to release for general public worldwide. You can also see the above official image of MS. Office for iOS and Android devices which could release in November-2012 or even goes further to say that it could come to all Apple iOS devices as the product was labeled Office for iOS. Microsoft Office for iOS and Android will be capable to bring Word, Excel and PowerPoint functionality to Apple’s and Android tablets. Microsoft might be introduced additional applications in the future. The official Microsoft Office Suite has a similar look to Microsoft’s OneNote app for iOS, which borrows largely from the Metro-themed Office software on the Windows Phone platform.

According to The Daily’s report, Microsoft plans to submit MS. Office for iOS to Apple for approval in the coming weeks, though a firm time frame was not provided and may be company will submit Microsoft Office for both iOS and Android simultaneously. When the whole news was asked from Microsoft for further clarification Microsoft has denied about the above picture and didn't even comment on it whether its fake or not or company is still working on Office version for iOS and Android. But we will see and wait till November-2012 to get any further update and news from them.
