This is an mail we received from our Google Android Market account. They are having some changes in the system.

 

As mentioned in a previous email, Android Market is changing to a new model for pricing applications called “Buyer’s Currency.” The change directly affects how you price your apps, as well as how users around the world purchase them.

 

We’re writing to let you know that we’ve recently added a new country to the program: South Korea. All prices for this locale will be in the Korean Won (KRW) currency. Please visit the Android Market Developer Console to set prices for this new country by August 15, 2011.

 

We’re writing to let you know that we’ve recently added a new country to the program: South Korea. All prices for this locale will be in the Korean Won (KRW) currency. Please visit the Android Market Developer Console to set prices for this new country by August 15, 2011.

 

 

IMPORTANT: On August 15, 2011, Android Market will automatically assign Buyer’s Currency prices for your products for the new country if you have not manually set them in the Developer Console. Android Market assigns a price based on the price of your app in your home currency, converted to each target currency using the exchange rate on that day. This is a one-time conversion associated with the transition to the new Buyer’s Currency model. If you have already set your per-currency prices manually, Android Market will not override them.

 

 

You can continue to set and adjust the prices of your apps at any time, in your home currency and in any Buyer’s Currency available.

 

 

For more information about how Buyer’s Currency works, please visit the Android Market Help Center:

Thank you for your continued support of Android Market.

U.S. Government To Create Internet National IDs, Says AmeriPAC

The Obama Administration is pushing the creation of an Internet identity scheme called the National Strategies for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. Their plans include developing federal online identity for every American. Officials claim a national ID will reduce Internet fraud, theft, and make the Internet safer.

Howard Schmidt, the White House Cybersecurity Coordinator admitted, “It’s the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government” to centralize efforts toward creating an “identity ecosystem.”

The federally issued Internet ID (the government is calling it a Trusted Internet Identity) will effect everything you do online. If you want to…

  • Sell something on eBay
  • Check your email
  • Book an airline ticket
  • Login to your bank
  • Create a website
  • Start an online trading account
  • Surf the Internet

…You will need a “Trusted Internet Identity!” In January, a White House official said, “President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans.”

Commerce Secretary, Gary Locke has denied that the “Trusted Internet Identity” is any form of an Internet ID. Well, if you need identification from the government to conduct your online business that certainly sounds like an Internet ID. What’s next, an ID to buy a loaf of bread?  This is an adapted letter from AmeriPAC

Motorola Defy Review – A Rugged And Rich Multimedia Ready Device

There have been many phones released that cater to outdoorsy-type people, offering a rugged sturdiness that protect against drops, bashes and contact with large volumes of water. Devices such as the Sonim XP3 Sentinel or the Samsung E2370 have been designed to withstand all manner of tribulations that nature may throw at the hiker, rock climber or general adventurous phone user.

 

 

Catering for a niche market these phones have usually been quite noticeably lacking in other areas, providing only very basic features to enjoy. Many a rambler has lied awake at night contemplating whether or not to get a rugged, but archaic, handset, or whether to opt for a more feature rich device and risk destroying by accidentally dropping it off a cliff.

 

Now Motorola has solved this problem once and for all by offering up a rugged phone which has all of the desirable features of the most up to date handsets on the market. This phone does not feature a 1″ monochrome display, but a full 3.7″ capacitive touchscreen complete with Android 2.1. The Android OS is overlaid with Motorola´s Motoblur, which is the same interface to be found on many other Motorola phones of late, such as the Motorola DEXT.

 

The interface comes complete with access to Android Market and has full web browsing functionality thanks to the Android browser and 3G and Wi-Fi support. The phone also boasts a 5 megapixel camera, LED flash and features such as geo-tagging and video capture.

 

 

Other features include full messaging an email support, including threaded SMS messages and support for instant messaging. There is support for Google Maps, YouTube and quick and easy access to your favourite social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. For web browsing people will be pleased to hear that the Defy comes with full Adobe Flash 10.1 support.

 

 

The Defy features a rubbery case which will protect it against all sorts of knocks and jolts, and can be held under water for 10 minutes without any trouble ensuing. It may not be quite as rugged as some of the more basic rugged phones on the market, but this is pretty much the payoff for enjoying the latest features such as a touchscreen and heavy multimedia features.

The Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON) recently endorsed Samsung Solar-Powered Netebook. That was certainly a good endorsement for the first ever solar powered notebook.

 

The Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON) is the apex body of computer software and related services industry in Nigeria growth of the software-driven IT industry in Nigeria. It was formed in 1999 with the primary objective of being a catalyst for the growth of the software-driven IT industry in Nigeria. It was specifically set up to facilitate business and trade in software and related services and to encourage the advancement of research in software technology. It is a non-profit organization. It will serve as a single point of reference for any information on software industry in Nigeria

 

Mr. Yinka Tanimowo, MD of Connect Nigeria who spoke on behalf of ISPON boss, Chris Uwaje, during the launch of the product in Nigeria said that Samsung’s notebook is basically what the nation needs. He commended the vision behind the Solar -Powered WERED Notebook which has received good press across the globe. Unequivocally, he endorsed the device:

 

I therefore wish to congratulate Samsung Nigeria for promoting the concept of knowledge society and sharing the concept and solution of a Solar-powered Notebook with the Nigerian ICT Community. This is indeed a great effort towards resolving a critical challenge presented by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

 

The Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON) therefore endorses the Samsung Solar-Powered Notebook as a strategic instrument for developing the Nigerian knowledge economy. It will also assist in resolving part of our enery problem in the Industry.

 

Responding,  IT Director, Samsung Electronics West Africa, Chioma Iwuckukwu-Nweke, said

 

the product is a smart life device specifically designed for Africa, and tech savvy individuals who seek to increase the turnaround time of their work. The product is packed with the latest mobile technology for optimized performance and ease of use on-the-go. It provides the optimum balance of functionality, energy efficiency and a safe environment.

 

Tekedia thinks it is important for the government to encourage local and international companies to develop and distribute green tech inspired products like this laptop. This is surely what the nation needs. We commend ISPON for this act which we believe Samsung deserves.

Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and one the company’s directors  is leaving to start her own company, Facebook said Wednesday. Zuckerberg was leaving to start a “new media firm to help companies become more social” called “RtoZ Media.”

 

Tekedia checked the site and it is still under construction. It is very obvious that Randi will rake millions in venture funds. “My Site This is my site description.”

 

“We can confirm Randi has decided to leave Facebook to start her own company,” a Facebook spokesman said. “We are all grateful for her important service.”

 

In her resignation letter,  she said she has spent the past six years at Facebook “innovating and pushing the media industry forward by introducing new concepts. “We have made incredible progress, but there is still much to be done and other ways I can affect change,” she continued.

 

“Now is the perfect time for me to move outside of Facebook to build a company focused on the exciting trends underway in the media industry.” Zuckerberg noted that Facebook will “clearly be a central element in all of my projects” and that she would “continue to be a strong, vocal evangelist for the most incredible social platform ever created.”
