A Fresh Start

I haven’t touch my blog for months and It doesn’t seem I can write long posts every day or week but at least I try to share things like videos, links …etc.

Using godaddy or an other hosting company for a power user, doesn’t work. I have to move a private server, ordered and set it up within two days. So, I can say this is a fresh start and I hope I can continue on writing regularly.

About Android

Finally, I had a chance to play with Android SDK and develop something. Something called Istanbul Guide, yes the Android version of my first iPhone App. It’s available both in Android Market and Community Markets for free to download.

I’m interested in Android because it’s open, it’s linux, it’s java … etc. If you look at end user point, no doubt that iPhone is the killer.  iOS is its limited, there are boundaries and rules you have to obey. I want freedom. Why? Recently started a new project (still in design phase), which aims to make disabled people’ life easier. Resulted application supposed to modify underling operating system to replace existing user-device interaction like replacing standard keypad … etc. That’s impossible for iOS but not in Android.

I’ll be still working on iOS but I believe innovation happens when it’s open.

Istanbul is Ready For Sale on the App Store

Yesterday, my new iPhone App (extended version of Istanbul Guide) has been approved for sale on the App Store. New App provides more and rich content with additional features such as public transportation lines (metro & trams for now) and weather information for Istanbul.

So far, your ideas helped me to improve the application to be more useful. Thank you for sharing your ideas with me. I’d be happy to see feedbacks.

Bakıyorumda kankalar blog yazmaya başlamış, hatta boş durmamış mim göndermişler bende alıyor, tekrardan Serhat‘a gönderiyorum.

Bir konuşmada benden;

Ben: Nörüyüm ortak işte, sen nörün?

Best Reactions to Microsoft Windows Phone 7

Microsoft announced next generation Windows Mobile at MWC in Barcelona. We don’t have much information about the product (just something new in UI) but there is a buzz around and here is the best user reactions to Windows Phone 7 Series.

How do you ctrl+alt+del?

Does the it comes with antivirus, antispyware, anti-malware?

I guess 7 is their lucky number !

Yes, I’d like to see HOW it works as a phone.

Horriable interface with too much animation. Animation is the first and last crutch for designers who can’t design a usable interface.

WTF is a a Zune?

Nothing to see here. More of the same, Microsoft collapsing under its own internal incompetent congestion. Innovation? These guys have no freaking CLUE what that is.

I’m just glad I don’t have any Microsoft stock.
Going down!
Down!

Worst product name ever.
