Here is our official press release for Mob1serv, we are launching it today:
Injoit and YAS, two mobile software companies specializing in iPhone and Android development, have announced a launch of a service called Mob1serv. It is believed to be of demand by growing numbers of mobile developers and publishers as the service takes care of server side of the things. Authors say there are few typical tasks which make mobile developers to put off their native SDKs and spend time on writing server scripts and setting up the databases. Such tasks as storing locations data for Google Maps, queuing Push Notifications, maintaining online high scores table are all now addressed by corresponding modules in Mob1serv. The idea is not novel, there are some popular solutions in the market dealing each with one of the mentioned issues.
“We would not have built this service if there was a suitable solution available.” - Taras Filatov, CEO to Injoit, says, - “The problem is that existent solutions either lack functionality or they expose your user to some social networks of theirs interacting with other users and other apps. Our clients don’t want that. They just want the app to work and users to have that online high scores table or Google Map seeing other users in it, but not the users of other apps. Users don’t need to know what is the web service behind that functionality, it should be native with the app. So mob1serv just does the job, silently. And our modules are powerful, the architecture is well thought of, so as result you can integrate incredible social interfaces, literally anything. The modules are like lego bricks, you can use them in combinations and build something new each time. Our clients are happy with how quick and reliable our solutions are. Now it’s time to share the secret with other developers.”
Mob1serv is distributed on a freemium model which means the basic functionality is free but it might start charging its users for some advanced functionality in the future. Currently available modules announced at project’s website allow to deal with Google Maps data, Push Notifications (both immediate and delayed, making it possible to create instant messenger or events notifications apps), online high scores and OAuth (providing transparent integration with Facebook, Twitter and Google services).
Project owners are inviting iPhone and Android developers to visit the website and register to start using the service.
It is important to get the designs right before creating successful iPhone / iPad applications. So it’s extremely useful to have ready Photoshop templates to give clients or your designers’ team to ensure they put the sizes and everything right. So here are some links for iPad User Interface graphic templates in PSD.
So here are these useful links:
- 512 pixels, iTunes Store style (Caution: very ugly. Talk to Apple about that, not me.)
- 512 pixels, iPad style (either have different overlays. Who’d have thought?)
- 512 pixels, iPhone style.
- 72 pixels for iPad home screen.
- 57 pixels for iPhone home screen.
- 48 pixels for iPad Spotlight (with Spotlight background).
- 29 pixels for iPad / iPhone Settings and iPhone Spotlight (with both backgrounds).
Just in case these files get lost we’re putting duplicates at our Google sites powered Knowledge Base along with our guide for clients about how to prepare graphics for iPhone / iPad apps:

Unfortunately couldn’t upload the iPad GUI PSD from Jeoff Tihan (Google sites do not support attachments over 20Mb), hopefully you’ll still be able to get it from original source when you read this.
Good luck in your development!

We have received an e-mail from Amazon that Amazon’s Kindle SDK (KDK) has become available for developers to try it’s beta version.
Those developers interested should register at Kindle Development Portal.
We plan to master the KDK shortly so contact Injoit to develop your software for Amazon Kindle.
We have prepared a brief compilation for our clients to raise awareness regarding the new possibilities and challenges that are brought by emerging iPad platform and new iPhone development SDK which is already available. So publishing this list here with a bit of delay 
Also please feel free to add to the list.
- there are certain technology/interface improvements/changes which need to be taken into account when planning new / porting existing projects for iPad
- it is worthwhile to start the development now at least using the simulator, to be prepared to launch your app in March when device starts shipping - this should help to win a bigger market share presumably
- Injoit has learned the new SDK and is ready to develop 100% iPad compatible apps from this very moment, so contact us for iPad software development
