Hardware and Looks

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 has a 10.1 inch touchscreen that offers 1280×800-pixel resolution.

On the front you will also see a 2 megapixel camera for video calling. However, on the front you won’t find any physical buttons.

The normal home and back buttons of any Android device are replaced by virtual buttons on screen. You can see the buttons in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.

The advantage of this placement is that if you shuffle between portrait and landscape orientations, the buttons are always on the lower left-hand side of the display.

There’s another button at the lower left corner which gives access to all recently used apps.

On the back of the tablet you will see a 5 megapixel camera. The built quality of A500 gives a cheap feeling because they have mainly used plastic.

There is an orientation lock key and volume adjustment key on the top edge of the tablet. The device also features a Micro SD card slot, a SIM card slot, micro-USB port and micro-HDMI port.

On top of A500 is a headphone socket. The tablet is 13.3mm thick and weighs 765g. That means its 164g heavier than the iPad 2. The A500 runs on the Tegra 2 processor and has 1GB of RAM.

Display and Camera
The 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800 TFT LCD of A500 is a visual delight. Another plus point of the display is its viewing angle.

You can position the tablet at any angle and still the readability remains very good. Though the readability reduces significantly under sun, it performs pretty well indoor conditions.

The 5 mega-pixel rear camera takes nice photos under a bright sky and front camera is just ok. But the main problem is that cameras lose the focus if you try to capture anything away from it and produces blurry images. Despite the 720p HD video capturing capability, the captured video quality is not good at all.

Software and Performance
Acer’s Iconia Tab A500 runs on Android 3.0, a specially customized OS for the tablets and it certainly works like a breeze.

A500 features a great browser with Flash support. You can open multiple tabs and multi-task. The Honeycomb on screen keyboard is a delight. It supports multi-touch, so you can touch type.

You can also hold down the shift key or number key to get quick access to certain characters. The Gmail client, music player, calendar, photo browser, chat and maps application works brilliantly.

The apps in the Android Market for the Honeycomb devices are not so many and Google should look into this matter as the common Android apps can not utilize the screen space of the tablets. The tablet runs on pair of 3260mAh batteries and offers almost 7 hours of battery life.

Final Verdict
The overall performance of Iconia Tab A500 is good. But there are some negative points too. It’s a very heavy tablet, battery life is little poor, and compared to some tablets its price is bit high.

While ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is priced at $400 with almost the same facilities, A500 is priced at $450.

Developed by Varshyl Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Appbackr has launched its beta version in the hope of creating the world’s first wholesale marketplace for iPhone and iPad apps. The service would let developers submit their apps to be sold in bulk at wholesale prices.

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company’s wholesale catalog of apps is now available to buyers. Appbackr showed off the marketplace at the DiscoveryBeat 2010 conference. Appbackr’s wholesale buyers pay the developers immediately, and the developers can start work on new apps. Meanwhile, the developers retain control of their own intellectual property.

Appbackr is offering hundreds of dollars in incentives to early participants who offer their apps for sale during Appbackr’s first month. About 1,500 people signed up during an earlier test version of the launch. Trevor Cornwell, chief executive of Appbackr, said the company hopes to prove to this group exactly how Appbackr works and why it can be a critical part of the developer ecosystem.

Apple developers agree to sell a certain number of units to wholesale buyers at a discount. Those buyers buy the units in bulk and pay their money upfront to developers. When someone actually buys the app on iTunes, the Appbackr buyer profits, pocketing the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price. The wholesale buyer becomes an advocate of the app — Appbackr refers to these people as “backrs” — and promotes it heavily. The developer thus gets a built-in fan with a vested interest in promotion. The return of the wholesale buyer is 27 percent to 54 percent once an app sells at the retail level.

Josh Michaels, founder of iPhone developer Jetson Creative, said that Appbackr will change the way small developers think about funding and distributing their products. The wholesale business is a necessary part of any business ecosystem. It results in better funding and support for manufacturers in any industry — in this case, the equivalent of the manufacturer is an app developer. The wholesale mechanism also leads to more efficient distribution of the products and better discovery by consumers. Appbackr’s payment solution is built on top of PayPal’s applications programming interface.

Appbackr’s own financial backers are Cambridge West Ventures, Zenith Group, Silicon Valley Association of Startup Entrepreneurs, and the Hall Financial Group. Appbackr was founded in March and has 10 employees. There are no direct wholesale rivals. The company received a seed investment of $725,000 and won $50,000 from PayPal in a developer challenge contest. Cornwell previously started Embarkons, a peer financing site, and Skyjet, an online reservation system for the private airline industry. Sam Zappas and Robert Clegg are also co-founders.

The most excellent part of PHP is that it is an open source web development framework. It has all built-in developments that make it an absolute web application developing program for any prerequisite. PHP adds the winning frame over its competitors such as .Net and java which are also giants in the web development industry. PHP is considered to be the most popular and trendy web programming language. The biggest benefit is that, it is an open source platform. This helps in dipping cost and time for any web developing company.

Today, most of the companies favor a dynamic website where the content can be modified and updated sporadically. The web world was missing such websites. This appears to be a terrible to all programming languages and it made things inferior when the client demanded an SEO friendly website. The birth of PHP as a dynamic web programming language finished the issue of a website being static all the time. Each version that was released, improved the performance and security of the internet programming language.

Features of PHP Development are:

* PHP decreases the lines of code radically. This helps the quality assertion team when the testing procedure is done.
* The applications are protected and locked like never before.
* The websites built using PHP boost performance and assures to be consistent and user friendly.
* PHP being an open source language is a massive advantage. This decreases cost and time to build an application or a website.
* Websites built using PHP not only helps the developers, but also the website owners. The website is easy to sustain and further developments can be executed since the language PHP uses is of international principles.

I have recieved many queries from people asking , how can they resize image in the fly using php.

Today I will explain how we can do it , but before we jump into code it has some prerequisite and constraint:

1) GD library should be installed on your server.

2) It works with only jpg and gif images.

IF you wondering how to make sure GD library is installed on your server , use the code below-

function GDCheck()
{
echo ” Status of GD support on your server: “;

// Check if the function gd_info exists (great way to know if gd is installed)
if(function_exists(“gd_info”))
{
echo “YES”;
$gd = gd_info();

// Show status of all values that might be supported(unsupported)
foreach($gd as $key => $value)
{
echo “–” . $key . “: “;
if($value)
echo “YES”;
else
echo “NO”;
}
}
else
echo “NO”;
}

GDCheck();
?>

Today will see how we can do it with a single ( please see I am not adding bells and whistles)
// Absolute path of location where file is to be uploaded and don’t forget to have CHMOD 777 for it
$fileDir = “absolute path to location”;
$intuploadcount = 0;
for ($intCount=0;$intCount<$numoffile;$intCount++)
{
//Check if the all the input box have data or not
if (trim($_FILES['file']['name'][$intCount])!="")
{
$newfile = $file_dir.$_FILES['file']['name'][$intCount];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$intCount], $newfile);
$intuploadcount++;
}
}

if (isset($intuploadcount)&& $intuploadcount>0)

print “$intuploadcount files uploaded
“;

if (isset($intuploadcount)&& $intuploadcount>0)

print “$intuploadcount files uploaded
“;

// echo “

“;
//?>
?>
Doing with html and php files is simple, you just need to create form in html and instead of using ‘for’ loop to generate box, you need to make different box and then create another file ( name it ) and in action of form give the name of file..

That;s it, it should work now.
