Electronista's Sanjiv Sathiah says that Apple's iOS 7 beta, now available for the iPad after a two week delay since its debut at WWDC, brings with it all the same UI enhancements and design themes from the iPhone version to the iPad, but some of these have been translated to the larger iPad and iPad mini displays differently.

Make Video With Just An iPad - A New Interactive Book Just Released
Northern California based author, James Ellison Wills has just released Make Video with just an iPad 1.3, on the Apple iBookstore.
Wills says: "I don't believe that most iPad users are aware of the power they have in their hands. They can shoot, edit and post videos all from the same device. They can produce quality video at a fraction of the cost to produce that same video commercially. Something expensive and complicated just got simple and cheap. People should know how to do this."
Inspire your inner film director. Come along for some lavish photographs and see the sample videos all shot on location in Kyoto, Japan. This interactive book is a visual treat for the reader and uniquely combines two genres, technical and travel.
As a result of incremental changes from the original iPad, it became possible to shoot, edit and post video all with just an iPad in 2011. Many iPad users are not aware of this powerful feature, the equivalent of holding a media network in their hands. The colorful work has embedded video and a strong visual element throughout. It contains over 100 photographs, 25 instructional videos, and production tips which detail every step from concept to completed video to posting online.
It is a handbook for iPad video producers with a practical yet artistic point of view. Wills is an experienced videographer and photographer having produced four documentary films and 200 video shorts for a wide variety of clients. Wills has over thirty years experience shooting video in the field. The book is packed with valuable instruction, tips, and techniques for making great video with just an iPad.

To Boost Mobile Banking Adoption, Engage Branch and Call Center Staff Says Fiserv White Paper
Fiserv, Inc. has published a new white paper that explains how financial institutions can boost mobile banking adoption by utilizing frontline staff at branches and call centers as mobile banking experts. The complimentary white paper, Mobile Banking Adoption: Your Frontline Staff Holds the Key to Growth, can be downloaded at:
http://fiserv.com/frontline-staff
Branch and call center staff are a tremendous asset that financial institutions have at their disposal, and utilizing them to promote adoption and use of strategic services such as mobile banking can be highly effective.
By taking advantage of the referral power of frontline staff, financial institutions can actively drive mobile banking adoption above the typical 15 to 20 percent rate expected among online banking customers. The majority of consumers still lack knowledge about mobile banking and the benefits it offers. Frontline staff can serve as an influential source of information about mobile banking to build awareness of benefits and educate customers on how to get started using the service.
By equipping frontline staff with the right tools and resources, financial institutions can ensure efforts to drive mobile adoption are successful. A comprehensive Strategies for Success program should incorporate:
• Employee Training Design training programs to educate staff on mobile banking value and steps for online and offline enrollment.
• Employee Incentives Increase staff engagement by providing incentives, such as opportunities for prizes, for promoting and enrolling customers in mobile banking.
• Consumer Marketing and Promotional Materials Impactful tools and resources, such as staff talking points, consumer takeaways and in-branch collateral, will effectively aid in the promotion of mobile banking.
Metrics to Evaluate Success and Impact Establishing then measuring success metrics, such as percentage of active uses and mobile transaction volume, enables financial institutions to note growth and areas where adoption is lagging to best focus marketing campaigns.
• Ongoing Engagement with Users Continued engagement enables frontline staff to remind mobile banking users of the benefits and value of mobile banking, which could lead to increased usage and convenience for customers.
"Mobile banking can provide a positive return on investment for financial institutions, as use of the service can drive incremental transaction volume and shift transactions away from higher cost channels, while also improving customer satisfaction," says Erich Litch, division president, Digital Channels, Fiserv. "Branch and call center staff are a tremendous asset that financial institutions have at their disposal, and utilizing them to promote adoption and use of strategic services such as mobile banking can be highly effective."

Advertising Consumes 23% of Mobile Phone Battery Power
Adblock Plus has learned that advertising received on mobile phones causes an increase in the consumption of energy, with ads on average consuming 65% of an apps communication energy and 23% of an apps total energy demands, according an April, 2013 report.
The report, published by Microsoft Research in association with UC Berkeley, looked at the energy consumption of popular apps on Android and Windows phones. The researchers found that a typical mobile app refreshes its ads every 12-120 seconds, which forces the radio network to be constantly re-awakened, after which the app will keep its 3G radio connection open for another 25 seconds. This period, known as tail time, results in the high-energy overhead incurred by ads.
"The use of in-app advertising has enabled an ecosystem of free apps for many peoples enjoyment, but we have to consider the impact this is having on battery drain," says Till Faida, co-founder and managing director of Adblock Plus. "Smartphones are advancing everyday; unfortunately their batteries are not developing as fast. Many consumers are blaming their phone for poor battery performance when it is the advertising that is at fault."
Adblock Plus aims to find a balance between an ad-free mobile experience and one where application developers can sustain themselves without imposing an undue burden on the consumer or their mobile phones. Adblock Plus endorses an Acceptable Ads policy, and gives users the choice to permit advertising that is responsible and not annoying. In this way, users can support apps and websites that rely on advertising but that choose to do it in a non-intrusive or non-burdensome way.
