Eduify | Mobile will soon be on Windows Marketplace
Over the last couple months, we’ve been working on bringing a lot of our capabilities to mobile phones. This allows you, the student, to do some really cool, time-saving things that make writing and researching faster.
Remember the last time you lost your usb drive or forgot to email yourself a doc? Well, our mobile app lets you access, edit or share any of the papers you’ve stored on Eduify from anywhere. You can just pull up the doc on your phone and email it to your teacher (yes, one less excuse to think of now).
Our mobile app also allows you grab the bibliography and quotes from books or other physical media with the camera on your phone. This means the days of photocopying pages from a book (yeah, save trees and copy-card credits!) and manually writing down the bibliography info are gone. Just snap a couple pictures and we turn quotes into editable text and nicely formatted MLA bibliography entries.
Get It
Sounds great, right? But, how do you get it? Well, you can sign-up for our limited beta here – www.eduify.com/mobile or, wait for us to release it on Windows Marketplace. That’s right, Windows Mobile phone owners – you’re getting an awesome place to buy all the apps you ever wanted, including Eduify’s.
Our Testing of Windows Marketplace
Over the last few weeks, we participated in beta testing of Microsoft’s Windows Marketplace. Windows Marketplace is the best place to certify, package and distribute Windows Mobile applications ever created. We must say that it’s looking very good. We even tested it from 35k feet on a Virgin America flight. By using the Marketplace, we can now deliver our app to all of you, the overburdened student (and, more than 30 million other WinMo users), in a trusted manner. Soon you’ll be able to confidently download educational apps, like ours, or fun apps to use while you’re procrastinating — all from your Windows Mobile phone.
Yo, WinMo Developers, Sign-up Too
For all of you WinMo developers out there, we strongly recommend signing up for the Windows Mobile marketplace. In our testing, we found it easy to sign-up, certify and upload your applications or widgets (ask Jorge, he’s the witty widget whiz – nice, alliteration!). This eliminated a lot of challenges for us in figuring out how to package and distribute our application widely. From the Marketplace, you can reach people in 29 countries without even really thinking about the exchange rate between the US Dollar to the Brazilian Real. Plus, you can easily target your application for distribution on a certain phone, OS versions, country, et cetera. Oh, and, when you’re ready to add India (or any other country for that matter) you just clone an existing product and set the price (or make it free) and you’re done. All for $99 (includs 5 app signings).
Pretty good deal if you ask us.
