Joining dots iPhone app takes advantage of these features to provide kids with cheap, endless and easy digital joining dots game.

The game includes various designs and images for playing that game upon and hence does not require for someone to buy an entire notebook that is never big enough for a kid to finish it comfortably.

The app also come stocked with a variety of effects and compatible options that a kid can also easily understand. There are many well-known an d beautiful images. The child might be joining either numbers or alphabets. The game is also compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad that run on iOS 3.0 or higher.

One of the most anticipated iDevice is iPhone 5 and so there is much speculation, lot of rumors and a list of expectations. Almost every other iFan is looking for the grand device and so want to know the exact release date, but in actual things seems to go in other way. It looks that iPhone 5 will not be released that sooner, or at least in 2011!

There are some sound reasons for the delay of iPhone 5 release date and here they are:

1.      No officially finalized design: Since, there is no design announcement yet by Apple officials, we cannot say whether it will be iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S.

2.      Software Specifications: Although there is no problem about the hardware components, as Apple has already signed agreements for chips and 4G networks, the software specification has not been clear till yet.

3.      iCloud: One of the biggest reason for the delay of iPhone 5 launch can be iCloud. Apple wants to get iCloud cashed first and iPhone 5 may shade it, so a better idea is to delay it!

4.      iOS 5: It is though expected that Apple will reveal iOS 5 in WWDC on June 6^th, 2011, but still the chances are very less. On the other hand, iOS 5 will be the main feature of iPhone 5 which will not be available before this autumn, so the delay is very obvious.

5.      White iPhone 4: Recently launched iPhone 4 in white needs to enjoy the market for some time and Apple needs to finish the stock before working on the newer counterpart. So, stay calm till Apple warehouse finishes the white iPhone stock!

iPhone SDK is the developer kit for iPhone software. Here are some answers to queies regarding the iPhone SDK.

In case you have some confusions and queries about for iPhone OS SDK then here is basic FAQ guide to your problems.

What is iPhone SDK?

SDK for iPhone is a software development kit through which third party developers can create applications that are supportable and can be directly applicable on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. There is no other way by which apps can be published onto iTunes so this is in itself a way for Apple to manage apps flowing in their content and their trademarks.

When was it available?

The beta version of iOS SDK was released in 2008.

How much does it cost?
The iPhone SDK beta is available for free today. Developers are supposed to sign up for the iPhone developer program so that developers can test their code, get tech solutions and distribute their apps, all for $99 a year. Another developer’s program for building in-house corporate applications is for $299 yearly.

How much applications have been developed for the iPhone?

There are over 400,000 apps on iTunes for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. From them around 270,000 are  Many apps are also firm built, that is entities and corporations with the SDK software develop software with their patents and trademarks. There are many thousands of applications developed for iTunes including individually built, group built and company built apps.

How will development for the iPhone work?

Anyone is allowed an SDK download and further on develops applications. But as I said before it is compulsory to join the Apple’s iPhone Developer Program. This application development procedure is quite like the Mac OS X development process.

Apple personally checks and approves each application to be distributed through the app store and the app will be available on iTunes for download upon approval.

All applications are downloaded on the air via wireless internet that is EDGE or Wi-Fi. Developers can set the price tag for apps themselves and get 70% of sales from these apps; Apple gets the remaining 30 percent.

Is the SDK applicable on a Windows OS or PC platform?

It is a common misconception, but the SDK will only function on Apple Macs.

Can developers retail their own iPhone apps?

No, as the only way to develop official apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch is to go through the standard procedure set by Apple.

Will jailbreak still work?

The jailbreak techies nowadays may have some software that would overcome this hurdle, and even if they don’t it won’t be of surprise until they turn up with one.

What kind of security does Apple provide?

Upon signing up developers will electronically fill up their applications in order to be a part of the program, and hence keeps it under Apple’s gaze and allowing it to track them for any malicious application that would be destined to enter the app store. Since iTunes is the only single place where iDevice apps can be found, then Apple can even shut it down completely making it a loss for all sides.

What is the business features provided?

Microsoft ActiveSync protocol is allowed through Apple’s systems to sync with the iPhone’s corporate e-mails, Office suite, contacts and calendar data easy and with security to Microsoft’s corporate servers.

The LG Optimus black is a very competent Android phone. It will land in June on Vodafone and Telstra.

LG’s Optimus Black is a rather high-end introduction to the smartphone market.  The device adds to the number of iPhone killers in the gang of Android Phones for the specs that are to be discussed up ahead. This smartphone is light weighing 109g even lighter than the iPhone 4 and proportionally 9.2mm and that with a large 4 inch capacitive touch screen and is on board with LG’s NOVA technology for a brighter display.

The Optimus Black houses a powerhouse of 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. Its network support is diverse with the capability to support all the diverse bands for Australia’s mobile connections. It will run on Android 2.2 Froyo which has been tweaked and fixed to become a better OS since its first debut. However it cnac be upgraded in the near future to the latest Gingerbread 2.3 version.

The HD camera on the upper right corner of the device’s back is a 5 megapixel shooter which is not as high as smartphones come these days but still it has 1080 video recording and it is of respectable quality.

Telstra and Vodafone are to be the carriers for this gadget from early July. Telstra will retail it at $599. While the Telcos has not launched any pricing plans for the handset it is expected that the Optimus won’t exceed a $30 to $60 a month when subsidized.

The Australian market will be getting a bunch of other Android gadgets such as the HTC Incredible S and the Desire S plus the Samsung Galaxy S II, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Motorola Atrix as well.

A video from Vietnam (Photo below) displayed what was a replica white iPhone that was utilizing a smart new Expose-like iPhone multitasking in the unofficial iOS 5. Some things noted from the videos are:

This could be glance into the future iPhone OS multitasking and iPhone 5 likewise, despite the device being fake and the iOS being a mod for iOS 4.3. But still I really do wish that Expose-like multitasking would be a feature for the upcoming devices and software. Apart from the rest since the White iPhone is coming out after all this could also be inviting along with that huge 64GB capacity.

The credibility of this source is also somewhat stable as it was the same group that displayed a similar introduction to the white MacBook unibody version weeks before it was officially launched. But we cannot deny that something is still to come out in June’s WWDC where iOS multitasking would become reality. Keep your fingers crossed!
