One of the benefits of buying an iPod direct from Apple online is that you get to engrave a free message on the back. It helps you easily identify your device, and it works well for gifts. The iPad lacked an engraving option at launch, but it’s here now, just in time for the holidays.
The Barnes & Noble NOOKcolor, that’s how. The new e-reader from the book seller does away with the black and white e-ink display of the original NOOK, instead giving it a 7-inch IPS touchscreen with a resolution of 1024×600. It also supposedly works indoors and out, and has 8GB of built-in memory, with expansion of up to 32GB possible via microSD. It plays MP4 video, MP3 and AAC audio, and has a speaker (mono) and a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack.
With iTunes now carrying 225,000 apps in its "curated" collection and Android up to 100,000, it's no wonder users have turned to other resources beyond the search box and category listings found in the official vendor-specific app stores. For the end users, recommendation sites like these prove useful, even necessary at times.
But are these sites helping developers? And if so, how much?
The State of Recommendation Engines is a sponsored content series by BT Buckets, a leader in personalization and onsite behavioral targeting. Check out their solutions.
The lineup of Apple-owned applications that make up the service includes "Concierge," a push-enabled app used by employees to receive notifications of customers with appointments entering the store and an app called "Scout" used by managers to establish precise physical locations within the store as part of the setup process.
For Apple customers, the support for these services will arrive in the Apple Store application, already available for Apple mobile devices.
This news comes from Macstories.net, an Apple news and reviews site with the launch exclusive. According to their article, the service went live Monday in Apple's retail stores.
In addition to receiving check-in notices from customers, employees can also use the "Concierge" app to check on the lineup of customers waiting to be seen, based on appointment times and what time they checked in. The queue where this activity is managed is called - you'll never guess - yes, the "iQueue."
Instead, Windowshop is a new standalone experience with a completely different, more visual interface than its predecessor.
Essentially, Windowshop is a new touch-enabled visual search engine for Amazon.com. Product categories are featured at the top of the page and you use your finger to flip through the screens. Not surprisingly, the first category listed is "Electronics."
If the user interface seems familiar that's because it is - back in 2008, Amazon launched Windowshop.com, a Web-based visual search site organized in much of the same way. The iPad app is apparently a touch-enabled and revamped version of this website, whose URL now points to the iPad application download page on Amazon.com.
As with the older site, content within each category is scrollable vertically, while browsing through categories is scrollable horizontally.
At the top of the app is a search box, home button and browse button, which takes you to a full list of categories, so you can narrow down your search.
