Due to increasing competition, businesses are searching for novel ways to reach consumers. Increasing use of iPad devices has coerced businesses to provide information about their business on iPad too. This increased the demand for iPad applications. The increase in demand has motivated a number of businesses to come forth and provide iPad apps development services to a number of clients across the globe.

The iPad development companies understand the requirements of their clients to deliver customized services. They use the iOS SDK or Software Development Kit to provide the most creative applications. They offer tailor made applications that help businesses in reaching their goals. They create apps that are not just creative but also easy for the users to navigate through.

Following are the services offered by iPad apps development companies to various businesses across the world:

• eBooks Application Development
• Digital Catalogue Application Development
• Business Application Development
• Enterprise Application Development
• External Accessory Development
• Medical Record Application Development
• Estimation Application Development
• Sales Force Application Development
• CRM Application Development
• POS Application Development

1. At Bat 2010 for iPad

As the original iPad arrived to consumers the same weekend as the 2010 Major League Baseball season, it’s easy to think of Apple’s tablet computer and America’s Pastime as a great double play combination. While it is nice to have video access to virtually every Major League Baseball game on the iPad, the real utility comes when you take your device outside of a wireless Internet connection.

With this $14.99 application (note, a separate download fee is required if you already own this app on your iPhone), you can tap into games wherever you go. Additionally, the app provides audio feeds from every team’s home broadcast as well as an innovative array of stats and video clips.

The only thing this magical application cannot do is turn the Chicago Cubs into a contender. Alas, there is not an app for everything.

2. Topo Maps for iPad

During those precious times in life when you are hiking around Colorado’s Front Range or looking for the right cove to spot turtles off the coast of Maui, chances are, you won’t be near a wireless hot spot. Fear not with this $7.99 application that was seemingly made for the iPad 3G.

Similar to the $7.99 Topo Maps iPhone app, the iPad version provides access to more than 70,000 topographical maps across North America. Maps can be downloaded individually for free with a wireless Internet or 3G connection.

3. Zinio Magazine Newsstand & Reader for iPad

While the iPad is a superior eReading device to the Kindle on so many levels, up until now a wireless Internet connection is required to download new things to read (the Kindle offers quick data connections when downloading new paid content). With a 3G iPad and the free Zinio Newsstand app, you can now tap into thousands of magazine titles wherever you travel.

Rolling Stone, BusinessWeek and the Sporting News are among the iconic magazines that market individual magazines and longer-term subscriptions via Zinio. The app also has a number of niche and special-interest publications.

4. Twitterrific for iPad

Until the official Twitter app for the iPhone and iPad becomes available, this free application is the best way to tweet on the tablet. Like the scores of Twitter apps already available on the iPad, Twitterrific is only effective with a network connection. Those 140 characters need to be transmitted through something.

5. Zagat to Go

For more than a decade, this pioneering restaurant guide has reinvented itself on multiple mobile platforms. From primitive Palm devices, to the iPhone and Android platforms and now on the iPhone, Zagat’s is an easy an elegant way to find good food near you.

While this $9.99 application offers foodie and travel guides in 45 markets across North America, new listings are updated each weekday. You never want to be in your own neighborhood or halfway across the world and not have access to the latest restaurant information on the fly. Another added bonus is that only one purchase is required for the iPhone and iPad.

The post Five apps to download immediately for your new 3G-enabled iPad appeared first on AI, ML and IoT application development company | Fusion Informatics.

The company reported on its official blog that several iPad users who also owned a Windows PC had received an email with the subject line ‘iTunes Software Update’.

The email contained a link that led users to a fake download page, designed to precisely resemble the real iTunes page. BitDefender identifies the malware as Backdoor.Bifrose.AADY.

It’s the first piece of malicious software aimed at taking advantage of the current buzz surrounding Apple’s new tablet computer, which has seen record sales since it was launched on 3 April.

Sabina Datcu of BitDefender wrote on the company’s Malware City blog that “The figures make it clear as daylight why malware creators were so keen on crashing this promising party. To carry conviction, the e-mail emphasizes that users should keep their iPad software updated ‘for best performance, newer features and security’.”

The post Malware Targets iPad users On Windows Platform appeared first on AI, ML and IoT application development company | Fusion Informatics.

The latest such scam involves spam e-mail messages addressed to iPad users. The messages direct recipients — who may or may not be iPad users — to click on a Web link that appears to host an iTunes update and to install the update

The text isn’t so poorly written as to be farcical. Even so, the use of the passive voice in the first sentence and the awkward wording suggests that the note’s author doesn’t work as a marketing professional at Apple or anywhere else.

“There were released updates for software installed on your iPad device,” the message begins. “It is very important to keep the software on your iPad updated for best performance, newer features and security.”

Recipients who happen to open this message on a Windows PC and comply with “update” instructions do not actually receive an update.

“Unfortunately for these users, following the malicious link means opening up a direct line to their sensitive data as instead of the promised iTunes update they get malware on their systems,” said Sabina Datcu, security researcher for BitDefender, in a blog post.

BidDefender identifies the malicious code as Backdoor.Bifrose.AADY, which attempts to infect Internet Explorer to open a back door in the victim’s system. It’s designed to scour infected systems for software serial numbers and to capture login and password information.

Mac users, not to mention those reading their e-mail on their iPads, don’t have to worry about this particularly malware.

In reporting its fiscal second quarter results last week, Apple did not disclose the number of iPads it had sold, but company executives said they were happy with iPad sales.

Apple previously said it had sold 300,000 iPads on April 3, the day it began selling the devices and delivering them to customers who had pre-ordered.

The post Apple iPad Used As Scam Bait appeared first on AI, ML and IoT application development company | Fusion Informatics.

Eager fans hoping to get their hands on the hyped-up device had a rude shock today when Apple pushed the original April launch to the end of May.

VHA will offer the 3G and Wi-Fi iPad to Vodafone and 3 Mobile customers with a range of dedicated price plans for all models of the touchscreen tablet. But the telco is keeping mum on what the actual price plans will entail or whether they will be available in post or pre-paid options.

Telstra has also said it will offer dedicated iPad price plans but it is unclear if the telco will have all versions of the device for sale.

Optus is yet to reveal if it will stock the iPad.

The iPad was scheduled to hit local shores at the end of this month but Apple has been forced to delay its arrival due to the overwhelming demand for the device in the US.

This is the second time Apple has had to put back an iPad launch: in January, its US debut was rescheduled to April after analysts reported that production delays and difficulties with suppliers would limit the number of units available.

Apple has sold more than 500,000 iPads since it first went on sale at the start of April, but a glut of complaints about poor Wi-Fi connections and problems with charging the device have marred its launch.

Only the Wi-Fi version of the iPad has been released in the US but a 3G version is expected to be available later this month. iPad prices range from $US499 ($534) to $US829.

The post VHA, Telstra to unveil iPad plans appeared first on AI, ML and IoT application development company | Fusion Informatics.

But it’s still early days yet. Apple gave only a chosen few developers early access to the iPad — everybody else had to make do with software simulators and homemade cardboard mockups. They rushed their apps to market, and it shows. Many of the early apps are buggy and missing features.

These are the best apps I’ve found so far. They are all iPad-optimized, not iPhone apps stretched to fit the iPad. They get the job done, they’re fun to use, and several of them are free.

1Password for iPad

1Password encrypts, stores and organizes your passwords and other private information, and it automates log-ins for Web sites and other Internet services. You can also use it to store credit card numbers, bank account numbers, ATM PINs and more. 1Password is an extremely useful app for both the Mac and the iPhone, and now it’s available for the iPad too.

The iPad version is more like a grownup application than its iPhone counterpart, although it’s still missing some of the capabilities of the Mac product. In landscape mode, you get an easy-to-navigate three-pane view of your information and you can browse through entries alphabetically or using the search function.

You can store any information you want using 1Password’s preconfigured templates and categories. For example, Logins is where (obviously) you store your Web usernames and passwords, Wallet is for credit card numbers, and Identities is where you can store separate e-mail addresses, phone numbers, street addresses, etc. for work, your personal life, your secret spy identity or whatever.

1Password for iPhone includes a very handy bookmarklet that installs in Mobile Safari. If you’re browsing a site that requires a log-in, tapping the bookmarklet will automatically shut Safari, switch to 1Password and call up the correct username and password for the site you’re browsing. Unfortunately, that bookmarklet doesn’t work on the iPad version. Vendor Agile Web Solutions says it’s working on adding it to a future version. Until then, 1Password has its own built-in minibrowser that you can use to automatically log in to password-protected sites.

The latest release of 1Password Pro contains both the iPad and iPhone versions. It’s priced at $14.99 and is available as a free upgrade for existing users of 1Password Pro on the iPhone. For iPad owners who don’t have an iPhone, 1Password is a $6.99 stand-alone program.

Instapaper Pro

Instapaper is simple and highly addictive. If you’re browsing the Web and you find a long, meaty article that you don’t have time to read right away, you simply click a bookmarklet in your browser, and that article is instantly saved to a queue of articles at Instapaper.com. Later, when you have time to read, you can call up your queue of articles and dig in.

While this is a great iPhone app, it’s even better on the iPad with its bigger screen and better graphics resolution. The iPad and iPhone apps not only download articles for offline reading, but also format the articles for on-screen reading by removing clutter, changing the font and automatically scaling the graphics. You can move through articles by either tapping the screen to turn pages or tilting the device forward or backward to make the article scroll. (It’s possible to accidentally tilt the iPad and start scrolling when you don’t want to, so I prefer to tap the screen to turn pages.)

Instapaper Pro runs on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and it’s priced at $4.99. The latest version, written for the iPad, is a free upgrade for existing users of Instapaper Pro. There’s also a free, ad-supported Lite version for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but it lacks several features, including support for tilt-scrolling, tapping the screen to turn pages and sorting articles in folders. In addition, Instapaper Pro can handle 250 articles but the Lite version only handles 10.

Kindle

Apple’s iBooks app was one of the centerpieces of the iPad debut — it’s a gorgeous app that has its own online bookstore. However, I prefer Amazon’s Kindle e-book app.

It lets you buy and download books from Amazon’s Kindle store and read them on any device: a PC, a Mac, an iPad, an iPhone, a BlackBerry or a Kindle reader. As you read, the service saves your place, so if you read a few pages on a Kindle device but later switch to an iPad and then to an iPhone, you can instantly pick up where you left off each time.

Both the iBooks and the Kindle apps are free and have huge selections of free books, courtesy of Project Gutenberg and other Internet sources.

Which one should you use? Whichever one you need to read the book you want to read.

For example, while I think the Kindle app has a slight edge because of its multiplatform support, the iBooks app had the one book I’ve actually shopped for since I got the iPad, while the Kindle didn’t. And they both use Digital Rights Management (DRM) for many titles, which means you don’t really own the books — you’re just using them, and you lose access if the software vendor discontinues support.

Netflix

If you’re a Netflix fan, this one is a must — an app that lets you watch streaming movies and TV shows from your Netflix queues on your iPad.

The user interface looks as though it’s just a Web browser pointing at the Netflix Web site. If you stop watching a movie partway through, the app is designed to remember where you are and resume again after you close the app and return later, no matter which service you use to watch the movie. That’s a nice feature, but I found that it worked irregularly — sometimes the app remembered my place, sometimes it didn’t.

Fortunately, you can go back or fast-forward by dragging your finger along a horizontal scrollbar at the top of the screen. You can also tap a button at the bottom of the screen to rewind 30 seconds.

In addition, while the video streamed smoothly, without any jerks or stops, I found that the site itself seemed slower than usual, both in the app and in the iPad’s Safari browser.

The app itself is free but requires an unlimited rental membership from Netflix, which starts at $8.99 per month.

Pages

Apple’s Pages is an impressive little app. It’s a fully functional slimmed-down word processor that costs only $9.99. It has all the basic capabilities you expect from a word processor: You can write and edit, format text, embed images and charts, and more. For layout, you can move things around with your fingers or resize them by pinching with two fingers.

Pages can import documents in two formats: Pages ’09 for Mac and Microsoft Word (Office 97 and later). It can export to Pages ’09, Word 97 or later and PDF

As with many iPad apps, you turn the iPad to change modes. In landscape view, you get a full-screen view of your document; in portrait mode, you get a toolbar at the top. (You can make the toolbar disappear by tapping a button — it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to bring the toolbar back by tapping on the text.)

The biggest problem with Pages is that it doesn’t really sync with the desktop — it just imports and exports files. And worse, when you import Pages or Microsoft Word files from the desktop, the iPad app strips out important metadata, such as running headers and footers, section breaks, comments and bookmarks. That makes it hard to switch back and forth between your iPad and desktop while editing a document.

Pages is part of the iWork suite for the iPad, along with the Keynote presentation software and Numbers spreadsheet, each priced at $9.99.

TweetDeck for iPad

There are already several Twitter clients available for the iPad. I’ve tried a few, and TweetDeck is my favorite.

It’s a version of the free desktop client that’s popular among Twitter power users. It has the familiar multicolumn view, which you can customize to show messages from all your friends, @mentions, direct messages, saved searches and your Twitter lists. TweetDeck also shortens URLs.

There are some rough edges. In portrait view, the upper third of the screen is just wasted space, filled with the TweetDeck logo and nothing else. That’s where you compose your tweets or view individual tweets. I wrote the developers to ask about this; they said they did this on purpose, to keep that upper third as a blank workspace. Hopefully, they’ll come to their senses and let the composition and other windows appear as pop-overs, which is how most other apps do it.

Links are not clickable in the tweets column — you have to open the tweet separately and tap the link. Judging from the comments on the App Store review and on Twitter, many users don’t know that trick; they think links don’t work at all.

Also, TweetDeck for the iPad is missing one of my favorite features of the desktop app: the word cloud of trending topics on Twitter. It’s an at-a-glance way to tell whether anything important is happening in the world and get a general idea of what that news might be. The developers say they’re working on a new way to display trending topics that will roll out on all platforms soon.

Things for iPad

Things is the control panel for my life. I depend on the Mac and iPhone versions, and I’m happy to see developer Cultured Code was quick out of the gate with a $19.99 iPad version. This version does all the basic tasks that the Mac and iPhone versions do: It keeps to-do lists with start and due dates, and organizes those lists into projects, areas of responsibility, next actions and more.

The iPad version has an attractive interface that looks like a ruled tablet of white paper. When you change projects or areas, the sheets of paper seem to curl upward, like a page that’s turning.

You can sync your Things data among the iPad, iMac and iPhone versions as long as they’re all on the same network. Simply open all three apps at the same time and stand back — they’ll take turns syncing to make sure all three apps are running copies of the same database, and will even prompt you on the Mac to re-open the iPad or iPhone version if you shut them down prematurely. The progress bar is kind of entertaining to watch, too.

Some features from the desktop are still missing in the iPad version — most notably the ability to duplicate projects. And syncing among all three apps is somewhat slow. The iPad and iPhone apps tend to lose their connections and have to be restarted once or twice.

Things for the iPad, Mac and iPhone will cost you $80. Many of the reviewers in the App Store say that’s too much. I think it’s worth it — I use it all day, every day. But you might feel differently.

The Weather Channel Max for iPad

The iPhone comes with a weather widget among its pre-installed apps, but that app is missing from the iPad. That means you need to either check the weather on the Web or download an app. My favorite app so far: The Weather Channel’s free offering.

The app is a candy store for weather geeks. You can use it not only to check your local forecast, but also to find out the day’s sunrise and sunset times without having to dig too deeply.

And you’re one tap away from a three-hour forecast, which is handy early in the morning or late in the afternoon when you can expect the weather to change rapidly.

You can also look at interactive weather maps and severe weather advisories and watch video forecasts from The Weather Channel.

The app was slow to start up, and it crashed once or twice the first few times I ran it, but since then it has run smoothly.

The post The 8 best iPad apps — so far appeared first on AI, ML and IoT application development company | Fusion Informatics.

In that earlier blog, I listed some of the reasons buyers gave for lining up to purchase the iPad on April 3, the first day of sales. The reasons and reader responses to those reasons are worth a second look since the iPad, like the iPhone, is one of those products that could alter the computing landscape permanently.

How exactly this will play out is of course still unclear. One reader, however, argued that the iPad will create a more pronounced “schism” between those who “create a lot of content”–i.e., people who use more powerful Macs and PCs–and “all the rest”–the latter defined as people who use small, highly-mobile computers like the iPad and Netbook for media consumption and light productivity.

Comments were varied, running the gamut from readers who thought the device was redundant and/or impractical to those who thought it to be a worthy purchase.

Here’s a sampling, pro and con:

• Hard to justify: “I love Apple products….However I can’t justify purchasing this device…A novelty product.”
• Steamroller: “Apple haters, technical scowlers, squinters, and grouches–eat your hearts out because the IPad is going to take over the world.”
• Productivity versus consumption: “My home computer will suffice for the number crunching, code compiling and media encoding needs. The iPad will be my encyclopedia, mailbox, newspaper, library, music jukebox, video player for the home and on the go.”
• Regression: “People are paying for something that does less than what we’ve been doing before…Because we want to be able to do two things at once (multitasking)…that makes us nerds?”
• Better than a Kindle: “Much as I hate to admit it, I’m likely to be an early adopter as soon as the 3G arrives…I have to read & review a lot of academic papers on the go. Not a great use for a laptop, iPhone is too small, notetaking on the Kindle (and PDF handling) way too limited.”
• Useless: “The more i read about the iPad, the more it angers me…its SO useless. a 500 dollar + device, for really really bad reasons. High end netbooks, that can do multitudes more, are cheaper. I can’t wait till more people realize how bad this device is, and it plummets.”
• Apple allure: “One glaringly obvious reason is missing from this list. ‘Because it’s from apple.’ Like apple, hate it, or anything in between, you still have to recognize…brand loyalists who would buy any product Steve Jobs waved in front of their faces because it was the latest greatest thing.”

The post Pro, con iPad opinions run the gamut appeared first on AI, ML and IoT application development company | Fusion Informatics.

For ABC fans it sounds like a nightmare, and it’s great news for the ABC itself, since its app will remain ad-free. But in fact it’s great news all round: it means high-quality commercial publishing may yet live, not die under the benign, democratic, jackboot of Google.

The true genius of the iPhone, as well as any potential the iPad might have to change the world of publishing, lies in the invention of the application – something that didn’t really become clear until well after the iPhone was released in 2007 and the new app development industry really started hitting its straps.

It’s also a demonstration of the enduring power of great distribution to foster great content. We are learning that distribution is king (not content) but content is the monarch’s prime minister.

Apple created a seamless distribution system with the iPhone and the app store and now 185,000 apps have been created and 4 billion have been downloaded.

I’m now used to reading books on the iPhone. One app has 23,000 free books that are out of copyright that can be quickly downloaded and easily read, while another, Kobo, sells new releases.

So I’m reading books and newspapers, watching TV, playing Scrabble, doing my banking, running my calendar, looking for restaurants, checking the footy scores all through apps on my iPhone. The iPhone is becoming more and more essential every day, thanks to the apps.

The price range of the apps is huge – from zero to $70 (that I know of, for a GPS navigation system) – and some apps are asking for a monthly subscription (not very successfully I suspect).

In a couple of months Apple will launch a series of changes to the iPhone system that will take this system to the next stage, including embedded advertising.

When Apple’s new operating system for the iPhone, OS4, is released soon, it will contain what Apple calls iAd – an advertising platform that will allow app developers to put ads into their applications.

The most popular apps are free, or very cheap, which means no-one is making much money. But it turns it was a kind of Trojan horse strategy – either deliberate or not.

As Apple chief Steve Jobs said when he announced iAd a week ago: “The average iPhone user spends around 30 minutes a day using apps. Now, if we said we wanted to put an ad up every three minutes, that would be 10 ads per device per day. We’re going to soon have 100 million devices [running the iPhone OS]. That’s a billion ad opportunities per day in the iPhone and iPod touch community.”

Publishers thought the internet would be a Trojan horse as well – that they would give the content away for a while and then when everyone was hooked, start charging. But that didn’t work because, as I wrote on Friday in Business Spectator, content is not king, as they thought.

Presumably iAd will work on Apple’s new tablet machines as well, so publishers will be able to replicate and then enhance their traditional business model – charging for the content and putting advertising with it – on two devices, one large and one small.

Consumers will take their pick: one device that includes a phone and goes in your pocket, but has a small screen, or carrying an extra device with a big screen that’s easier to read. Maybe the iPad will eventually be a phone as well, so you just need that.

iAd is a direct assault on Google, or rather it completes the assault that began with the invention of the iPhone and continues with the iPad. Apps are simply a better and more reliable way to get content than the internet browsers on which Google relies.

More importantly, it turned out to be very difficult for a content vendor to make a living selling material of any value in a browser on the internet, distributed by Google.

Rupert Murdoch complains that Google “steals” the content, which is silly, but the effect is the same: content is being distributed for free.

The app store is now becoming much more analogous to the print distribution system that Murdoch grew up with, except for one thing: the barrier to entry into the system is very low, which means prices will be lower.

But at least they won’t have to be zero, and the publishing market will be able to find a new equilibrium that will support decent content.

Apple is taking a big risk, however, in making it a closed system. The new OS4 tightens controls so application developers can use no third party tools and software – mainly designed to prevent them using Adobe’s Flash system.

Jobs is once again betting that his fully integrated product design will prevail against an open platform.

It’s a repeat of the battle that Apple and Microsoft waged in the 1980s, which Microsoft won. This time Google’s Android smart phone operating system and Adobe’s Flash are taking the role of Microsoft.

Jobs is betting that, this time, his devices, the apps and the app store are a sufficiently unique distribution system to give Apple a decisive advantage. With iAd as well, he could be right.

The battle between Google and Adobe’s open system and Apple’s closed one will be a king War of the Worlds. At this stage Apple has the advantage, but that’s how it seemed earlier in the fight between it and Microsoft, until the cheap manufacturers of Asia drove down the prices of clone PCs.

This time manufacturing cost is not an issue – it’s all about distribution of content. And Google doesn’t have iTunes or an app store that channels money to those who make the content.

Dubai: 3G is a synonym with the “third generation” of mobile telephony, officially named International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000).

It comprises a couple of standards for mobile tele-communications fulfilling specifications by the International Telecommunication Union, which includes UMTS, and CDMA2000 as well as other wireless standards such as DECT and WiFi.

Services include wide-area wireless voice tele-phone, video calls and wireless data, all in a mobile environment.

Compared to 2G and 2.5G services, 3G allows simultaneous use of speech and data services and higher data rates (at least 200 kbit per second peak bit rate to fulfil IMT-2000 specification). Today’s 3G systems can offer practice of up to 14.0 Mbit per second on the downlink and 5.8 Mbit per second on the uplink.

There is a broad range of applications for 3G, which makes investment into a licence very attractive to telecom operators due to high yields on the service. Some of the applications are:

• Mobile TV: A TV channel can be watched on a 3G mobile phone or PDA (personal digital assitant)
• Video on demand: Movies are sent to the subscriber’s phone.
• Video conferencing: Subscribers can see as well as talk to each other.
• Tele-medicine: A medical provider monitors or provides advice to the potentially isolated subscriber.
• Location-based services: A provider sends localised weather or traffic conditions to the phone, or the phone allows the subscriber to find nearby businesses or friends.

Requirements

To use 3G services, a compatible device is necessary. A phone that has 3G functionality has nothing to do with the number of cameras or the memory it has. The device is connected to the 3G network through its SIM card or its 3G data card, which are both generally provided by the telecom network operator. Through that, customers get connected to the internet whenever they are within a 3G network.

If they are not in one, the device switches automatically to 2G or 2.5G services without interruption, but with slower data services.

The service must be subscribed to, and many providers charge flat rates for mobile data usage. However, customers have to be careful when using 3G data abroad when they leave their home network, as costs for data transfer can dramatically rise.

Mobile infrastructure providers are currently working on a new technology called 4G or IMT Advanced. 4G refers to all IP packet switched networks, mobile ultra-broadband at gigabit speed access and multi-carrier transmission.

A 4G system is expected to provide a comprehensive and secure all-IP based solution.

The two companies worked together to develop the free application, according to Kevin Thau, from Twitter’s mobile products and partnerships team.

“When you talk about messaging and mobile phones, BlackBerry immediately comes to mind and it was no surprise to us that it has become one of the most popular mobile platforms for Twitter around the world,” Thau wrote in an official blog post.

The application features real-time push of Twitter direct messages, browser integration for Web links in “tweets,” an interface whose look-and-feel can be customized, recognition of Twitter @usernames linked to the users’ profiles and a search engine.

The interface is available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Brazilian Portuguese.

Social media companies like Twitter and Facebook are busy trying to strengthen mobile versions of their sites and mobile applications, as more and more people become comfortable with posting status updates, checking friends’ profiles and publishing photos and videos from their smartphones.
