Smart video search engine Smivi is introducing a slate of new features in its upgrade to Smivi 2.0.

6 months ago, Smivi launched a smart video search engine. The original Smivi had video search results crawled from all over the web—YouTube, ESPN, CNN and virtually any other website that hosts video content.

The flipside of Smivi 2.0 is a social experience. Not only can users find and watch videos, users will be able to share those videos with their friends and followers. Users will now be able to socialize with friends—or anyone, really—by following them, commenting on videos and even chatting with them in real-time.

Smivi is now more than just a video search engine. It’s a platform for people to search, share, and watch videos. Search is one component of the entire experience.

“What we’re trying to do with Smivi is provide users with the best search, social, and viewing experience for videos. Smivi 2.0 is a huge step forward for us,” says Danny Witters, founder of Smivi.

Along with these additional features, the new site comes with a redesign. From the homepage to the video player, the site looks and feels different.

“We focused on improving the user’s overall interactive experience. The new site is a lot more user friendly,” says Danny Witters.

The Future of Mobile Phones in Apple?

The results of a new study by In-Stat, a firm which undertakes research into mobile technology has indicated that, should sales off the various mobile devices produced by Apple – including the iPhone – continue to increase at the current rate the company will have surpassed Intel as the leading mobile processor by the end of 2012.

These results are based on evidence which shows that, by the end of last year, Apple had sold more than 176 million of its mobile processors across the world, a number which gives the company a market share of 13.5 percent and sees them just 5 million behind Intel in sales – a difference which adds up to just 0.4 percent difference in the share of the market.

The research study by In-Stat factored in the processors contained in a variety of mobile devices – including the iPhone variants, the iPod touch, e-reading devices and handheld gaming systems, like the Vita, and the Playstation manufactured by Sony – but did not include desktop computers or servers in its findings.

The prediction by analysts is that the market for mobile tablet computers – which, it is estimated by some, will hit 326 million sales by 2015 – will ultimately surpass that for PC computers, the market for which is dropping off.

The fact that the A-series ARM-based processors manufactured by Apple are currently featured in all of the company’s iDevices, while Intel is only now beginning to incorporate its own Atom chip processors into its mobile devices, gives Apple a clear head start in this area.

“Apple’s continued success of the iPhone and iPad, as well as the stronger growth rates of the smartphone and tablet markets than PCs, will help the company catch Intel,” the chief technology strategist for In-Stat, Jim McGregor, stated.

This new breed of app unlocks iPhone’s potential, allowing users to manufacture their own customized paper cover. COVERit allows an iPhone® or iPod Touch® to change its style daily and be protected from everyday jostling. With COVERit, everyone can easily make their own individualized paper case for their mobile device.

This remarkable app combines multiple iOS technologies allowing the user to operate the camera and the wireless print function as well as send email and view web video. The user first takes a new picture or uses an image from the camera roll and then edits the image and adds text if desired. COVERit merges this edited image with one of its fold guideline templates. COVERit then prints directly to a wireless printer or sends the customized template to any email for home printing. The user watches the “how to” video and folds the new cover. The whole process from opening COVERit until folding the completed cover takes about 5 minutes.

COVERit has another distinctive feature. It operates in three languages. The user has a choice of making the cover with directions in English , Spanish or Portuguese. This app may change the way people think of covering their mobile devices worldwide.

COVERit allows the user to make covers in two styles. The pouch offers maximum protection against other objects stuffed in a pocket or bag and its construction requires a small piece of tape. The open face offers complete finger-tip functionality of the screen at all times and requires a scissors and a hole punch for completion. Glossy paper gives the cover a brilliant shine; however, regular computer paper works well also. The COVERit app can be used successfully with any printable paper. Users are encouraged to experiment with photo paper, card stock, colored paper, tracing paper or construction paper.

COVERit can be used to make a unique cover for every day or any occasion. Applications for COVERit are limited only by the imagination of the user. Purchasing the app for a one-time cost of $.99 allows one to use it over and over again.
