There are over 100,000 apps available in the App Store and if you want to develop an application for the  App Store, you have to sign the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement for it. The only catch is, that you cannot talk about the agreement in public. Now, thanks to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), it’s out. EFF has managed to get the agreement from NASA, when NASA developed an iPhone app without signing the agreement (wonder why Apple allowed NASA to forgo the agreement).

Anyhow, coming to the juicy details, Apple really has some shitty clauses in the agreement,  Like for example –

App Store Only: Section 7.2 makes it clear that any applications developed using Apple’s SDK may only be publicly distributed through the App Store, and that Apple can reject an app for any reason, even if it meets all the formal requirements disclosed by Apple. So if you use the SDK and your app is rejected by Apple, you’re prohibited from distributing it through competing app stores like Cydia or Rock Your Phone.

Kill Your App Any Time: Section 8 makes it clear that Apple can "revoke the digital certificate of any of Your Applications at any time." Steve Jobs has confirmed that Apple can remotely disable apps, even after they have been installed by users. This contract provision would appear to allow that.

We Never Owe You More than Fifty Bucks: Section 14 states that, no matter what, Apple will never be liable to any developer for more than $50 in damages. That’s pretty remarkable, considering that Apple holds a developer’s reputational and commercial value in its hands—it’s not as though the developer can reach its existing customers anywhere else. So if Apple botches an update, accidentally kills your app, or leaks your entire customer list to a competitor, the Agreement tries to cap you at the cost of a nice dinner for one in Cupertino.

^

But these clauses don’t seem to affect the iPhone developers considering the huge amount of apps in the app store. If you are curious, you can download the agreement from below:

Martin Cooper, who is the inventor of Cell Phones and has also filled a  patent on “radio telephone system”, has ditched his iPhone for the Motorola DROID. In fact, he gave his iPhone to his grandson and is very satisfied with the performance of the DROID. Here’s what he said:

“Depends when you ask me. I always have the latest cell phone, and I try every cell phone out, only because people like you keep asking me. Right now I’m using the Droid, because I want to get some experience with the Android operating system, and I, so far, have some favorable results.”

Here’s the video:

Do you think Android is the new craze like iPhone ruled for last 2-3 years?

When Google had a fallout with the Chinese government and threatened to pull out Google services from China, Microsoft kept quite and now we know Microsoft had some ulterior motives. Of course who wants to come in wrong terms with the huge Chinese tech savvy population? Motorola, who shared a strong bond with Google with the launch of Motorola DROID back in late 2009 has also ditched Google for Microsoft.

Motorola and Microsoft are going to come up with Android devices in China with Bing Search and Maps. Here’s what Motorola Spokesperson had to say:

“We believe that consumer choice is one of the most critical components to ensuring a rich and seamless client experience,”said Christy Wyatt, corporate vice president of software and services, Motorola Mobile Devices. “Motorola and Microsoft have enjoyed a longstanding collaboration and the addition of Bing services to our Android-based smartphones in China is another important step in empowering our end-users.”

Bing has come out with some unique features in last couple of weeks and has registered to be an instant hit among  the users. Of course, users can opt  to use Google search instead, from their browser and install Google maps app, but this is a big move for Microsoft to gain the market.

Just after Nokia announced that it will be rebranding its Nokia Music store to OVI Music, Nokia has now announced that it will be now rolling out DRM free music. What does this mean? This means that, you can now play your favorite MP3’s from anywhere — from PC to any MP3 player.

Unfortunately, Nokia’s ‘comes with music’ isn’t DRM free yet. That means if you bought handset like Nokia 5800 Comes with Music and download from the millions of track available, you won’t be able to transfer it to any other handset or PC. However, did you know that OVI store now serves up to 1.5m downloads a day? With Nokia announcing its rebranding and rolling out of DRM free music, that number is just about to climb the Everest.

Nokia has determined to provide Smartphone experience for cheap and with goodies like free turn-by-turn navigation solution in the hope to gain its stature in the US market. Apart from mobiles like Nokia E71 none of Nokia’s handset had made any impression in the US market partly due to its refusal to tie up with any network. It looks like it has now decided to do the right — tie up with networks to provide handsets.

Last week Fring released a Video Calls support for all the Symbian OS 9.2 Devices and Fring hasn’t stopped it there. Fring has now extended its support for Symbian 9.3 devices. This means, now you can make video call to your friends on Fring and Skype for free, from your Nokia e72 & E75 (and all other Symbian 9.3). And that’s not all! Fring’s official blog post mentions more improvements in coming week. Maybe Jabber support with video call? Or Maybe Symbian address phonebook backup/restore?

The newest  version contains some quality improvements, bug fixes and better connectivity in some specific scenarios – so we highly recommend that you get the latest and greatest version, as well. You can download Fring for Symbian 9.3 from here.

Skype, the VOIP software maker, has withdrawn its support for Windows Mobile. Skype has pulled out both Skype Lite and Skype Mobile for  Windows Mobile from their site. This means, you cannot download the app from the Skype official site but if you already have it installed on your device it will seamlessly work.

Skype for Windows Mobile did not always give the best possible consistent user experience and Skype has grown tired of supporting it. Instead, Skype wants to focus on delivering mind blowing app for the Windows Phone 7 Series. From the Skype blog “we’ve decided to make a few changes to our lineup. Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Phones are no longer available for download. This isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly, but the reason is simple. Neither of these apps offered a great Skype experience.”

Apart from that, just last week Skype partnered with Verizon to offer free Skype to Skype unlimited calls. If Skype partners with more operators, it can completely eliminate the need for a mobile app. If you ask me, this is an indeed good move by Skype, only late. But we can understand the timing for completely kicking out the support for Skype for WinMo, when Microsoft itself is phasing out Windows Mobile and renaming it to Windows Phone Classic.

In an interview with Austrian national newspaper Die Presse, Nokia’s general manager for the Alps and South East Europe, Greig Williams, when asked if Ovi Maps could come to Android or Windows Mobile, he simply replied “That will be the next step.”

From the reports, even though Smartphone sales jumped tremendously in the last quarter of 2009, Nokia’s handset shares in the market dropped by 2%. We guessed this made Nokia try out out of the box stuff. Just last month Nokia made OVI Maps turn by turn navigation free of cost. Now this seems a little odd. If Nokia wants to gain back its lost glory, how would they if they offer exclusive features to other OS. And even if Nokia plans to give away its first even seamlessly working client for free to Android and Windows Phone/Mobile, does it mean Nokia might get into Android/Windows Mobile phone business? Now that would be interesting.

Also, what about its other millions of OS (Meego and Maemo) they are simultaneously working on?

Nokia’s brains at at the Helsinki branch of the Nokia Research Center introduced a new concept for sharing contents — Explore and Share.

Explore and share is based on radio technology, wherein you need to place your device on a ‘writer’ which is connected to a separate touchscreen monitor. This new radio tech forms a short-range connection between the writer and the device, and doesn’t use any other radio networks – the writer is immediately paired with and recognizes your handset, and instantly brings up relevant content that is available for it on the large touchscreen monitor. From here you simply tap to transfer the apps, music albums, games, apps, videos and other extras you fancy, direct to your phone in a flash. ^

In the video demoed below, an entire music album was transferred to the device within 10 seconds from the Nokia Music Store, which is quite amazing. Check out the video:
