TurnPage Digital Publishing Solution

Publishing companies like newspapers and magazines have turned to mobile as the trend increases every day. Considering that majority of the people has a smartphone these days, it just makes sense to get in on the bandwagon and join the mobile technology frenzy.

True, reading magazines and newspapers in my smartphone is not comfortable and soothing to the eye. Well, unless you are using an iPhone. Even the new one is just not right. But tablets and phablets? They are a hit for sure.

If you want your publications to be spread around and reach a wide audience, you would want them to be digitized and published in a way that can reach your target audience.

The TurnPage digital magazine software solution intends to do just that. What you do is submit your documents ina PDF format and they will then convert it digitally publishing your documents for mobile and even desktop.

That is not all. It transforms it into a whole new user friendly interactive experience where users can flip through animated pages full of images and articles as if the publication was directly in front of them. Videos can be viewed, links can be accessed, songs and sound clips can play directly from the interactive pages.

Publishers can also customize options and colors to create a unique branded environment. TurnPage is totally flexible!

And by digitizing your documents, you are encouraging a paper free world by helping preserve the environment by saving paper, reducing printing, saving the trees and help decrease green house gases in the process.

Polaroid Android Digital Camera

Okay, I am not sure there are other digital cameras that have Android running inside it but as far as I know, there are none. Well, until I found out about Polariod’s new digital camera that is powered by Android.

The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera features a 3.2 inch touchscreen and the full Android app market. It boasts a 16 megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom and includes WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity.

Now … since we are talking about Android, this looks like an entertainment device much like the iTouch, just without phone capabilities but with a very powerful camera.

Just by looking at the photos, I would say I am impressed with this product. (photo taken from CNN)

Will The Digital Download Be Dead … Soon?

Let me know what you think about this article I read in ABC News. While the iPod has come to symbolize the digital music age, it is iTunes that has allowed Apple to control the musical marketplace.

iTunes has a nice interface, it is easy to learn, and it is ubiquitous: it ships with every Mac, and it is one of the most downloaded Windows programs around (well … people are forced to anyway as it is the only medium to sync your iphone, itouch and ipods). Other companies may make great phones and music players, but they do not have the desktop software to sync your music, apps, and photos.

That is why Palm worked up a hack last year to connect its phones to iTune, and why Apple quickly shut down the workaround. So iTunes users are required to download music from iTunes then sync it to their music. That is how it goes. But pretty soon, the digital landscape may change.

Google Android phones already do lots of stuff wirelessly because the OS is tied to your Google account, most of your data flies over the Internet and you do not even need to plug the phone into your computer to upgrade its operating system (which you have to do with an iPhone).

Soon Android will be completely untethered. An upcoming version will let you buy apps and music from any computer: the files will then appear instantly on your phone. The best part, though, is that Android will let you play all the music on your computer without syncing your hard drive to your phone.

You can do this by installing a small app on your desktop that will send your music - whether it is in iTunes, Windows Media Player, or anywhere else - to the Internet. (This only works with non-copy-protected music, which means pretty much everything except audiobooks.) Once the files are online, your phone will have access to your entire music library whenever you’ve got an Internet connection.

Google always impresses me with their innovations. Apple does too, but lately, their arrogance has disappointed me. Their actions as of late resembles what Microsoft does. Closeness, rather then openness.
