Apple does n’t do patronage shows these day , not even the man ’s largest mobile trade show . But that ’s no grounds to overlook last week ’s Mobile World Congress . Apple may not have get together other smartphone and tablet Divine in Barcelona , but the iOS platform is very much a focus of that mobile get - together .
To find oneself out just how giving a shadow the iPhone and iPad regurgitate over MWC , I talk to two kinsfolk just back from Spain — Leah Yamshon and Armando Rodriguez . While the mobile add-on on display last week in Barcelona were n’t all that dissimilar fromwhat we saw at CES in January , Leah managed to spot a few fluid apps that are worth a cite . And Armando talks about the Android tablets and smartphones unveiled at MWC and what that might imply for future Apple products .

Show notes
During the podcast , Leah mention an iOS app capable of combining brusque television clips , but she blanks on the name . It’sFrameBlast , a free iPhone app . Leah also spotted a routine oftouch - typecast keyboard appsthat aim to ameliorate upon the on - silver screen keyboards that have become stock with smartphones these days . ( I ensure a predictive keyboard app myself back at CES — it was calledFleksy , and it happens to be uncommitted for theiPhone and iPad . ) And while it ’s not an app per se , AppMachinecan help you construct one . Still in beta , AppMachine is a browser app - free-base app builder train at people with minimal programming experience .
agree to Armando , smartphones with giant screenswere everywhere at MWC . While it ’s undecipherable whether Apple will follow suit of clothes by expand the iPhone ’s screenland , Armando thinks Cupertino should take notice of thehigher - resolution screens attach to the latest Android smartphones — particularly , theOptimus Profrom LG .
