I'm creating a small team, contract to start, that would be interested in possibly relocating (for privacy and security reasons) to make an app for a thriving industry (not porn).
- no commitment needed at this early a stage, just a "Yes I'd be interested and am capable of developing full-time for Windows crossover application", portfolio required
- the applicant would need good network knowledge as well
- I have at least one member, likely two, that are willing to go on a moment's notice
- I have a way (this is the biggest question mark at this time) into the industry and am relatively confident it isn't already developed for Android (second biggest issue)
Any developers qualified and interested in developing full-time for this burgeoning platform, send me a PM.
Thanks for your time,
Will

Hello all.
Today, i've starting building the first of many cellular penta-band/quad-band antenna prototypes i will be working on during the following year as a part of my final project in engineering.
I will be building different prototypes for different companies and selling them with my project advisor (one apparently known to be the biggest specialist in antennas in Israel).
Now, as this is electronics engineering - not software engineering, i'm not required to provide anything software related .....
BUT, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in working on an application which would receive feedback from cellular devices and supply specifications on their antenna type.. from praise and gain to whatever else is related to antennas and can be snatched out using a regular cellular signal detection.
I will, of course, throughout the following year, provide a full notebook (in parts) of details with all math required.
I am aware of the fact that not many people deal with this type of programming... and this is where "might involve payment" comes into the picture. in the end of the year, i'm supposed to give in a final project report with all products, production files and electronic testing notebooks. If i give a dedicated software, which cannot be found anywhere else, I might be able to sell it along with the prototypes. Fees will be discussed if this reaches a high level of interest (which is where "might" comes in). You can see it as any other project in XDA-devs...
I can't promise ANYTHING to the programmer in advance, but i CAN promise that if a company is interested in this software (and I, along with my advisor, will try to sell it wide-world), you will be either filthy rich (because it can go for something like 250$ a license) or receive many job offers revolving around the cellular-software world... or both.
If anyone is interested in this project, please PM me.
Now, as i would like XDA-devs to profit from this as well, I will ask the programmer to release about 2-3 expiry versions of this program (without the source-code of course) before the final release, so that people can test them and give feedback while enjoying them (of course.. if they have any interest in it).
I will keep this thread on for as long as I see action. That is, if i see people are interested in this area, i would gladly have this thread running cellular antenna development issues/applications/tests.. and so forth. If i see it dies.. I will close it.
Cheers

This is the first of a couple of posts on xda-dev I plan to have, as Cisco begins to engage Android developers like yourselves, now that we're coming out with the Cius for the enterprise market. As a long time Android advocate & user myself, I'm pretty jazzed to engage developers wanting to create profitable business apps.
More to come later, but for now I want to point out that we released the Cius SDKv1 today, and we're looking for developer input on what you need in the next release for creating killer solutions.
As we honestly want to converse with you guys and get your input (as opposed to spamming), yet our engineering team can't be everywhere (and I know that's who you really want to be engaging), I'd ask that your suggestions & questions happen on the Cius forum at the Cisco Developer Network site.
I was contacted by a recruiter through my LinkedIn profile and have no affiliation and gain nothing from posting this. My hope is that good Android developers are placed in good positions that help grow the platform.
Please see the description below if you are interested.

I am not familiar with Facebook app development, but my company is sorely in need of it, I believe. My company is fairly small and I don’t have anyone on staff that is skilled in development, so I need a company that can complete an application project without huge fees. Does anyone know of a reliable company I could hire for a project?
No matter the size of your company
No matter the size of your company, Facebook application development can help your company grow exponentially in terms of customer size, as well as sales and revenue. Sometimes it is better to outsource application development projects rather than assigning the project to someone on staff - if you even have anything on staff! When you outsource this kind of work, it is completed more thoroughly and more quickly. I know that a company like ConvoSpark, which is based in San Francisco, is able to complete projects both large and small in a short amount of time. They are definitely one of the best out there and can help you reduce the costs associated with application development.
