Miami, Florida – Tokkao today is pleased to introduce Effective Alarm 1.0 in the App Store, an alarm that will not stop until the user is fully awake. The difference between this alarm and other alarms is that this alarm will engage its users in a set of activities directed towards increasing their awareness in the morning. When we wake up, our mind is still in a restful state. As soon as we are engaged in active reading and problem solving, even when it is as simple as reading instructions and ordering numbers, our mind becomes fully awake. It is Effective Alarm’s job to make sure the users are engaged long enough in these activities until they are fully awake. Simplicity is the best form of sophistication. As the Screenshot 1 shows, Effective Alarm features a simple and professional looking user interface. It has the familiarity of the regular iPhone alarm yet it improves on the ability to really wake up its users. The alarm is fully configurable, adding settings to set defaults tun...

Published by Ian Delaney on September 4, 2012 Today, we’re delighted to announce that the Nokia Music service has launched for US customers. American Lumia owners will be able to download the Nokia Music app from the Nokia Collection in the Marketplace. And it will come preloaded on Nokia Lumia 900 and 710 smartphones. Of its many virtues, the best part of Nokia Music is undoubtedly Nokia Mix Radio: we’re enormous fans of the service here on Conversations and have written about it several times before. If you missed those posts, the killer features of Mix Radio are the ability to create playlists from your own tastes, or select from hundreds of specially curated mixes drawn from the Nokia Music collection of over 17 million tracks. What’s more, you can download these playlists over WiFi to listen to anywhere, without needing any further data connection. You can catch all the action around Nokia Music on the @Music_Nokia Twitter channel. View the original article here

Posted in: Mobile phones 12 hours ago by Chavis Today’s Motorola event was mostly dedicated to the company’s new RAZR lineup, but it also gave a chance to Motorola’s recently appointed CEO, Dennis Woodside (a former Google exec), to give us a glimpse of Motorola’s strategy in the realm of mobile devices now that it’s been acquired by Google. “New Motorola starts today!” We weren’t treated to any surprises in terms of goals, as obviously Woodside aims a reboot of the company’s smartphone business to a point where it would become a common fact that “the best Android device – it’s a Motorola”. To achieve this, Motorola would be focusing on three aspects for now. First off, it will be catering to the needs of mobile enthusiasts by releasing developer editions of its phones. Secondly, the company is committing itself on bringing future Android updates as quickly as possible to its whole lineup. And finally, by the end of the year Motorola will provide Jelly Bean updates to as many of its ...
