Is an iPhone app the best choice for our project?

Dear All,
We are developing a travel tour idea for different locations within the US.  Tour content can include video, audio, images and text, as well as maps and locations.  We want to make our tours "in-depth" so that people can spend good quality time traveling a short distance and exploring "in-depth" rather than travelling long distances and giving only casual interest to what they see.
I'm new to developing apps for the iPhone and am using Dreamweaver CS5.5 soon to be updated to CS6. 
I'm wondering if an app for iPhone and other related media like Android is really the way to go because of the limited content and screen size available.  I can envision our tours being utilized in many other formats, including iPad, Interactive PDF, as travel e-books or through an interactive website.  Our goal is to sell our apps, not give our material away for free. PDF would be my preferred format, but I know that PDF is easily transferred for free among users and would probably not give us much profit.
Any thoughts out there on what the best format for our project might be, or should it include ALL of the above formats? App creation for the iPhone is a rather complicated process, so that's why I'm wondering if after all of the work that you have to put in to create an iPhone app, if that is ultimately my best choice.
I would appreciate any thoughts or advice, or any questions you might have.  I'm working on a Mac Pro with CS5.5 Master Collection soon to be updated to CS6

hi,
It depends on your requirement. Base on my experience, VM or website all could meet your requirement. From your description, You could use azure website to host your php website (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-configure/).
And you could use website auto scale feature in the future. I suggest you could see their comparison (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/choose-web-site-cloud-service-vm/
Hope it helps.

Will

  • What is the best choice for our project? Thanks

    We are a startup company and developing a webiste with two mobile app.
    We use PHP in the server side and write with a private framework.
    We don't want to use any host-specific APIs so that we can move to other cloud server easily.
    In our case, can we use Website option in Azure?
    If the answer is yes. What is the best choice for us, VM or website? We need scalability in the future.
    Thanks!

  • JSF - Tomcat security...what is the best choice for a high activity site

    JSF - Tomcat security...what is the best choice for a high activity site
    The JDBCRealm is not multithreaded so what are options for high activity site??
    I would like to have Apache as front end doing load balancing, Tomcat as server and JSF.
    All ideals and suggestions please.
    Thanks
    Phil

    One more question.
    Since Tomcat has this setup.
    create table users (
    user_name varchar(15) not null primary key,
    user_pass varchar(15) not null
    create table user_roles (
    user_name varchar(15) not null,
    role_name varchar(15) not null,
    primary key (user_name, role_name)
    It seems like a huge pain to keep a user with every role. What happens when you have 500,000 users???
    Also, the authentications on every page....would it be easier to login once and setup a session bean check that on with the page header ??
    Thanks

    Hello All,
    Next week am going for 1z0-144. Is anybody out there who has already cleared this exams and can help me about the kind of questions asked in it (like more practical or conceptual). Also about any special kind of book he studied apart from steven 4th edition.
    Thanks for your help.
    DG.... Well after seeing other replies .... I think you need a bit of encourgement ... so good luck.
    I have not actually taken this even.
    You MAY glean a little from the JG videos .... (but be aware many will ay it tells them nothing) .... [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/08/0096.html]
    What follows is a little of what you may expect ...
    The questions are obviously multiple choice .... at OCA level most will probably indicate the number of correct answers required (as opposed to select all correct answers ... expect to see more of those at OCP/OCE). A few may be drag and drop or something similarly fancy. Some will offer exhibits to be viewed. However there should be enough time for the reasonably able candidate to complete the exam hilst reading questions carefully if they do not daydream.
    Most production exams have a set of 10 sample questions (IMHO often not of the highest quality and I am inclined to refer to them as the beta (program) rejects .... questions that didnt make it from the beta exam to the production exam .... and I don't really a justification for that). No such luck with 1z0-144 as far as I can se though.
    This is a modern exam; and the questions will probably tend to reflect that. The questions will be most like 1z0-051 questions than 1z0-007 questions.
    Therefore the sample questions from 1z0-051 may give a simple insight into the variation of question types o expect [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=303&p_certName=SQ1Z0_051]. (Be aware this is a very small ... and possilby skewed ... sample).
    This is probably not what you are looking for .... but is about as far as I can go.
    Anyone who has taken the exam is bound by non-disclosure agreements and there is very little anyone can sensibly say without possilby getting themselves into trouble.

  • Is Business Manager the best tool for our company?

    I have a number of quesitons to answer to figure out if Busienss Manager is the best tool for our company. The ONLY reason we are pursuing changing from individual accounts is that Share Screen has been removed from some of our accounts with the latest Skype update.
    Can we port existing Skype account names to Business Manager?
    Will Skype contacts be kept?
    Is 'Share Screen' part of Business Man.?
    Is it east to add and delete user accounts in Business Manager?
    What are the admin issues?
    Can more than one person be the administrator? Is it easily transfered?
    The Business Manager literature refers to credit allocation, tracking and reporting as a benefit of Business manager. Credit is not a concern for our company as we seldom use Skype to call phones. What are the other benefits of Skype business Manager?
    Thank you for your time and help.

    Up until a few weeks ago I would certainly reccomend Skype, but my advice is for youy to look for another company.
    Skype doesn't care about it's business customers, I and others have been trying to buy credits for week but the system is broken with no fix in sight, I was told it would be fixed by the end of the week, it hasn't been!!
    Read for yourself then go look for another phone provider, Skype is not responsive to business customers!

  • Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

    I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
    Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

    COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
    Samsung monitors are also good.

  • Digital Video Interfaces??  Is AJA the best choice for the money??

    I am using FCP HD, and have always worked with Mini DV. But we just purchased a Sony PVW-2600 Beta deck, and I believe that I'm needing to purchase some kind of interface.
    Is AJA the only or best choice for me? Can you give me some suggestions?
    Thanks so much!
    Bryce

    It's not the only choice, as Blackmagic/Decklink make good cards too, as do Aurora. But whether it's the best choice is another matter. There's lots of different decisions to make - HD compatibility? Effects acceleration? Monitoring outputs? Rack mountability?
    Others will respond.

  • Is Dreamweaver the best choice for...

    making small edits to css, ajax, and php in a dynamic website?  The site (soffe.com) is a dynamic site built on a Websphere platform, and I have Dreamweaver via the Creative Suite but have not used it yet.  Is there anyone who can take a look at what aspects of managing the site assets I can best leverage Dreamweaver for during redesign efforts?  I know there are other great Adobe products out there, but right now we're using an patchwork of different products and I'd like to streamline our operations utilizing great Adobe software we already have.  Thoughts and recommendations are welcome!

    We don't have a CMS really, although there are different applications for building functionality from the Websphere environ on the backend.  It's a very powerful platform, but we do end up doing having to do our tasks "dual".  For example, just changing out a link means we have to do it in the php but also on the backend in Websphere, which doubles the work to do a simple task like changing a link.  However, I'm going through the Dreamweaver help files and it appears that it would definitely be helpful in managing the assets, especially.  Our biggest issue is going to be seeing if a file is already open and being edited by another person at the same time.  This has been an issue.
    Thanks for your feedback, Murray!

  • Is it the best choice for basic business presentations?

    [I posted this same message in the Adobe Lab for VC3. Pardon the clone.]
    I'd greatly appreciate opinions, please, on how appropriate VC3 might be for me. I need to create simple business presentations, and I am not at all experienced with video and have very little time for learning.
    Please see my post/thread in the Adobe Premiere Pro forum, where I spell out my goals in more detail. That post/thread is at:

    Sounds like you're just whom we had in mind when we conceived VC. It's designed to be intuitive and quick to learn while producing impressively professional quality results.

  • Annotations Newbie: Are annotations the best choice for..

    I currently have source code that consumes web services and use the @WebServiceRef annotation to provide the wsdllocation. If I understand annotations correctly, there is a way at compile time to replace the wsdllocation path. This is done because the software is built for various custoemers using customized webservices for each customer. The structure of the web service doesnt change, but we need to dynamicly change the path the source code will find the wsdl when compiling the software for a customer.
    Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. I am new to java development, and am learning on the fly. If by chance annotations are not the right method for solutioning this, would anyone have any pointers?
    Thank you,
    Steve

Why aren't you using a configuration (and possibly an annotation that is used at runtime). Spring webservices does something like that.

  • Is a guest network with password the best choice for tenants?

    My mom bought a new Airport Extreme 802.11n to use when she switches from AT&T to Time Warner. Everyone uses PCs. I'm assuming that allowing my mom's tenants access as guests will keep them out of my mom's network.
    However, are there security problems associated with the tenants using the network to gain access to one another's computers?
    Also, my mom paid her computer guy to set up her AT&T router. Is this necessary for setting up the Airport Extreme with reasonable security?

  • Which generation is the best choice for me?

    5th generation or 7th generation?
    If i very like the click weel, but the 7th generation i also very like?
    The 5th gen have camcorder and clickweel, and generally very familiar for me and cool (I had 2nd generation before).
    The 7th also is very cool, it have touch screen, it's new and handy...
    Please help me choose.
    Thanks in advance
    P.S. Sorry for my bad English...

    The video camera on the 5th gen isn't that great, and where will you find one now? Go with the 7th gen., at least you will get warranty, EarPods, better charger, more colours. I've tried the 7th gen, and it is a lot easier to use than the 5th gen.
