You must have read news about Mobile Spy who are marketing themselves as Spy Software for Android. When i heard about it i thought that some unique software must have been launched but then realized that it’s just a basic software which does logging of SMS messages, Call Details and tries to record GPS location which according to my experience doesn’t work. The question arises why such basic software is being marketed by a company ?It’s human nature that one always wants to know what other person is doing. These days people are getting more and more insecure and they don’t trust even on their loved ones due to one or other reason. So companies like mobile-spy are trying to take advantage of all this and want to make some money by providing basic features and even those doesn’t work properly. Following are my points which make Mobile Spy a useless android spy softwareSMS logging : Check Android market place and there are quite a few applications which does SMS logging for free then why pay atleast 50 $ for this. Accoring to my experince with Mobile Spy, the SMS logging is not consistent and misses quite a few messages.Call Logs: Simple records of numbers which doesn’t show who was the actual Caller. If a person makes 15 to 30 calls daily, he will be simply lost into numbers because those numbers doesn’t show the contact name and there is no log of contacts to match the numbers.GPS Location: Everybody knows that GPS doesn’t work inside doors or in cloud cover. So Mobile Spy is thinking that a person will always be on road and there will always be clear sky. I tested the software and GPS reporting was not stable even in clear skiesThen for what Mobile-Spy is asking for 49.95 USD for just 3 months. I should say just trying to make people fool. According to me following are features of true spy software for android

So on these parameters there is hardly any software which can be called as true android spy product except FlexiSpy and a newcomer called Mobistealth. But FlexiSpy is yet to launch version for Android. So Mobistealth remains to be the only option. Ideally there should be more competitors so that one or two companies can’t exploit people and they are offered best possible services for their hard earned money. But Android seems to be a small market for big players to enter into spying domain. There should also be some mechanism so that companies like Mobile Spy can’t make people fool

Aarkstore announce a new report

Popularity of Android based phones is showing a steady growth especially after the launch of DROID. The entry of Verizon, Sprint and other carriers across the globe in Android World is also helping the Android phones to become widely used phones.

As more and more people are purchasing the Android phones, the demand of good spy software

Google’s new Mobile Platform Android includes a software pile for mobile devices – with an operating system, middleware and key applications. Android was designed to create mobile applications that take full advantage of each mobile has to offer. It was built to be truly open. For example, an application can call one of the basic functions of the phone, calls, send text messages or using the device, enabling developers to create broader and more consistent experiences for users. Android is built on the Linux kernel. In addition, it uses a custom virtual machine that is designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment. Android is open source, can be freely extended to integrate new technologies as they appear. The platform will carry on to expand as the developer community works together to create mobile applications. Android does not differentiate between the phone

The review of the phone should be divided into two components

Google is breaking away from the virtual world this autumn with the launch of its first mobile phone. Not content with dominating the search and online advertising arenas, the innovative company has developed a phone that has as much power as the desktop computers in use just a few years ago, and is clearly intended as a serious challenger to Apple’s iconic iPhone.

There’s a three megapixel camera, one-touch access to YouTube and instant messaging service Google Talk, and as well as listening to music users will be able to download tracks from a new service, Amazon MP3.

All of which shouts loud and clear that the G1 is targeted firmly at consumers. In fact when it’s launched in the UK in November on the T-Mobile network, there won’t even be a business tariff at first.

The phone, officially called ‘the T-Mobile G1 with Google’ will be free on a

Being an open source application, Android has never went through restrictions over development. But as a leader to the Open Handset Alliance, Google devised a path that allowed a native code development, which will enable developers to execute the code directly on the micro-processors of a device. Recently, Google released its NDK 1.6, which is much-hyped as a blaster kit allowing rapid native application development to derive the results.

What is NDK?

The NDK (Native Development Kit) is an adjunct to the Android’s SDK (Software Development Kit), which enables developers to generate and execute native machines within application packages. This code adopts the same restrictions as the Virtual Machine code, but it can embed a big list of operations, rapidly. This is a kind of ultimate tool to Android app developers since it can do heavy computations, digitized processes and developers can even port some performance-sensitive portions of their existing applications coded in ARM assembly language C and C++, which can call-out a live Java application through Java interface. Few types of applications that are inefficient in creating interpreted Java, for instance, a real-time business intelligence supported by the mobile device, will work as native code. This kind of approach by the native code does not allow the application to slip out the sandbox created by the Operating System and specially, the native coded apps can’t be executed from the GUI, directly.

NDK 1.6, What it has?

It’s a good news for Android app developers, that some new improvements have been introduced in the recent NDK 1.6. As seen in the Android’s official site, the new release has:

The capability to directly call-out the OpenGL functions which enhances the graphic rendering to big screen mobiles.

The new NDK can parse the properties and can find which platform it was targeted. Then, it will automatically generate libraries in the native code. All sources like C, C++ and Java can be placed under the same tree for easier editing. Increases the performance of memory-intensive operations, and promises a big-drop in battery drain

And hot fixes to increase the host system abilities.

X code and Eclipse:

X code (iPhone’s IDE) is a great development kit. Its like a rainbow of different tools which range from interface designing tool, debugging tool, advanced compilers, memory analysis tools, memory leak finders, simulation and even icon designing tools. That’s pretty much more than you need.

But Eclipse, (Android

I thoroughly enjoy being a handset reviewer. I’m always one of the few to have the privilege to try out new handsets. And just to say how much I really love being in this role – I only write a review after I feel that I’ve tested the handset enough and have a good assessment of the proos and cons. Every review that I write is not a mere collection of secondary sources. It’s my own assessment after using the test set that I’m given for a few days. But well, what few people know is that I ended up being a handset reviewer (as part of my job scope) by chance because I was really looking at the SaaS trends and the future product roadmap in the mobility and collaboration space.

As phones become more and more like mini-computers, the types of applications running on the phones become more and more important. More and more people use phone for doing more than just making phone calls and SMS/MMS or emails. I use my phone to tweet, to check out my news feed, to play games and videos, listen to music and do some simple photo editing.

Between Apple and Google. I am placing my bet with Google. While Apple is really good with its devices and has huge success with its Appstore, Apple is still very much in the consumer space. Apple is driving iPhone adoption in the enterprise market by supporting Microsoft Outlook
