Google Sites and Google Apps Scripts Integrates, Now Allows Building Custom Applications

Google Sites makes it easy for organizations to create and manage their intranets or external web pages. By making content management available to non-technical users, information is managed by more people making it more relevant and up to date.

Skype for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad Now Allows Video Calls Over 3G or Wi-Fi

Skype has launched a new version of its iOS app that enables Skype-to-Skype video calls, via 3G or WiFi for free, with near CD quality sound. Those with an iPhone 4 or 3GS, or 4th generation iPod touch, will be able to make two-way video calls with any other Skype user, including desktop and laptop PC users, and presumably other mobile Skype users on Android or BlackBerry.

Windows Phone 7 Hack Allows Unapproved Apps (MSFT)

Yesterday, a trio of developers released software that will let Windows Phone 7 users install unapproved apps directly from their PC rather than having to go through the officially sanctioned Marketplace.

As first reported by Engadget, ChevronWP7 was designed to help developers get around Microsoft's notoriously restrictive app development process for its new phone OS. In particular, Microsoft has blocked most application developers from accessing the phone's native APIs--direct pathways into the phone's hardware--because apps that misuse these APIs frequently cause performance problems with the entire phone.

Chevron lets application developers who don't adhere to these restrictions get their apps onto the phone anyway. According Chevron's creators, they did it to help amateur developers test apps that Microsoft wouldn't approve for the Marketplace.

Some Windows Phone 7 application developers immediately accused the developers of trying to enable piracy. If users could somehow find binaries for Phone 7 apps on the Internet--say, through file-trading networks--they could now install those apps directly from their PCs using the Zune client, which today is used to transfer music, videos, and pictures, without having to pay for them through the Marketplace.

Chevron codeveloper Long Zheng responded by saying that Chevron simply unlocks a feature that's already built into the Phone 7 OS.

That makes sense: one of the missing pieces in Phone 7 is an easy way for corporate customers to deploy custom apps to their employees. This is a step backward from Windows Mobile, which supported Microsoft's System Center tools for app deployment. Enabling sideloading is a necessary piece of the puzzle, but Microsoft would probably have preferred to unlock this feature on its own time frame, and with ties to other Microsoft software.
