Translation apps continue to leave much to be desired.
Cue Roman Jakobson. In a way, by giving the illusion of mutual understanding, these apps exacerbate the problem. Also, because they do the worst job with rich language work (nuance, subtlety, wordplay, polysemy, subtext…) they encourage a very “sterile” language which might have pleased Orwell like it pleases transhumanists, but which waters down what makes language worth speaking.

We do not support casting from Android or iOS at this time.
Good to know. Somewhat surprising.

Set Semantics¶ This tool is used to set semantics in EPUB files. Semantics are simply, links in the OPF file that identify certain locations in the book as having special meaning. You can use them to identify the foreword, dedication, cover, table of contents, etc. Simply choose the type of semantic information you want to specify and then select the location in the book the link should point to. This tool can be accessed via Tools->Set semantics.
Though it’s described in such a simple way, there might be hidden power in adding these tags, especially when we bring eBooks to the Semantic Web. Though books are the prime example of a “Web of Documents”, they can also contribute to the “Web of Data”, if we enable them. It might take long, but it could happen.

export books as apps
On top of the whole debate between native apps and the Open Web, there’s a debate between apps and books. We might not reach the “Write Once, Publish Everywhere” dream, but there’s something to be said about having building blocks which are easy to adapt to different contexts.

despite having promised not to track students, Google is abusing its position of power as a provider of some educational services to profit off of students’ data when they use other Google services—services that Google has arbitrarily decided don’t deserve any protection.

Birdly explains why they've dropped their mobile apps. It is not enough for a mobile app to be useful and easy to use.
For people to use a mobile app, it has to be something they use every day. It should take advantage of the device's main functions: sound, camera, and geolocation.
We spent so much time updating our app to comply with the latest OS released by Apple or Google, debugging the app, developing new features, ensuring our UI was well-integrated in the global OS

Die Idee sei es, das Schiff mit Hilfe der App neu zu entdecken. Die Besucher sollen über ihr eigenes Smartphone Audiospuren zu prägnanten Punkten auf dem Schiff abrufen können. »Durch Geschichten und Geräusche wird das Leben und die Atmosphäre an Bord erlebbar gemacht.«
Schöne Idee, die multimedialen Fähigkeiten von Smartphones für 'ausgestellte' Geschichte zu nutzen.

Abbildung 50: M-Learning ist ... (Seipold 21.03.2011)
Für die Entwicklung von Geschichts-Apps wird ein Blick auf die Eigenschaften von Mobile Learning sicher hilfreich sein. Die Visualisierung lotet das Potenzial und die Eigenschaften von mobile gut aus, und mehr dazu bringt auch die Webseite der Autorin.

In all cases, one standard is clear: Each of these vendors is betting very heavily on HTML5-based applications as well as methods to make HTML5 compatibility the basis for their future. Whether made from Java or other language frameworks, HTML5 is the common thread that runs through each of these alternative mobile operating systems. Start with HTML5, and your applications’ portability is almost assured.
Is there any other reasonable bet than HTML5?! Especially in the smartdevice realm where there is a rich set of HTML5-family features already enabled it makes less and less sense to make native applications except for special edge-cases. And any smartdevice competitors cannot possibly compete against iOS and Android on their own unique native app development format-- so HTML5 would seem the only reasonable place to focus development of new apps. Where Ubuntu succeeds is compatibility with an already well established Linux ecosystem.
