Just couldn’t resist this one…

For what it’s worth, I predict that within 10 years or less, the handheld computer will be the de facto standard. I’ve seen 1 TB USB drives coming out this year, and Moore’s Law says that smartphones will be 1000 times more powerful than they are now in 10 years. So I think that in 2022, when you get to your office, you’ll plug your phone into a monitor and a keyboard… or it will connect wirelessly. And when you’re done, you’ll just take it with you. That’s my two cents, or 2 pesos, as the case may be.

And watch for a new software initiative from Charles Buchwald & Friends in the New Year focused on coaches, facilitators, therapists and other helping professionals….

“The world’s greatest treasure hunt is a real million dollar treasure hunt. One hundred percent of the net proceeds go to breast cancer research…“The treasure hunt was started in memory of Gabi Helms who, when stricken with breast cancer, had to make the difficult choice between saving her own life or that of her unborn child. She chose her baby, and passed away 2 days after giving birth.

“This real million dollar treasure hunt where families, teams or individuals can treasure hunt with a purpose. It is sort of like the Amazing Race but for everyone. Buy the book, find the $1,000,000 treasure and help us raise money for breast cancer research.”

CB&F is thrilled to participate in supporting this major contest, as well as raising funds for breast cancer research. Watch this site for more announcements and links to these new products.

Stay tuned for more!

Created expediently, on a short deadline, the site allows for excellent SEO positioning, easy updates, standards-compliant code and content (for excellent accessibility), and future-proof updates of the CMS engine, extensions, and theme.

UPDATE: the site has gone live, and it’s a good one, if I do say so myself. Check it out.

An extensive development process saw several prototype, custom themes produced; a wireframe version of the site for developing content; and numerous extensions tried and tested.

The result is a WordPress-based site with a highly modified professional theme by Elegant Themes, and a carefully selected suite of plugins, offering sophisticated but easy to use functionality. Custom icons and other graphics enhance the dynamic look. A custom interactive map of Canada provides easy visual navigation of regional events, backed up by an events listings management function. A library management feature will promote the development of an extensive resource library.

The site is undergoing final client approval and is expected to debut shortly.

A Vancouver business and a Victoria-area entrepreneur have contracted with Charles Buchwald and Friends to develop new iOS based apps. Currently in development, both are anticipated to debut in the Apple App Store in Q3, 2011, with Android versions following quickly.

While CB&F’s three key advantages for app development—publishing on multiple platforms from the same code base, reduced development time, and significant depth of experience—are helping to realize these projects quickly and efficiently, finely tuned marketing programmes will separate them from the crowd.

Do you have an app idea? Contact Charles Buchwald & Friends and let’s grab a cup of coffee and discuss it.

1. We publish everywhere. Not just iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod), but Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and web servers… from one set of code. This increases your market penetration, opens up more income streams, and builds user networks faster.
2. We work faster. 30 percent faster by published studies of our toolset, regularly saving 2 months or more on typical projects. This means your app gets to market sooner, can cost less to develop, and follow up versions can be published faster.
3. We have experience. 20 years of interface design, software development, and marketing has won us awards, put our name on patents, and helped us serve clients like BMW, Disney and Pillsbury. This helps increase the quality of your app and reduce your risk.
