Yet another GPS application for WindowsMobile - ReliRescue

Hello friends,
I know that the internet is overloaded by GPS applications for Windows Mobile,
so I was wondering if this publication is worth the shot.
Here is a link to a Windows Mobile GPS application (which I wrote), that can do SMS, email notifications, track recording, sending recorded tracks (KMZ) to email, Geocaching, mapping (when online), statistical track analysis, and few other things.
I use it for sporting activities (aerial sports, though It fits any kind of sport you do).
I have been working on it for quite a while and it is free for use.
I’d be glad to get your feedback to my email (noted in the about screen).

Looking for Beta Testers

We are looking for people to try the 2.0 version of Asurion Mobile AddressBook. AddressBook is socially connected and allows you to add mixins for sites like Facebook, Twitter and more. Mixins allow you to get access to the information you care most about, right from the AddressBook. AddressBook allows you to get all of the information you care about for a contact in one location, delivering more power per click than other similar applications. Version 1.0 is currently available in the Android Market and more information is available here http://www.getaddressbook.com/. We have taken the feedback from our current users and added several improvements; most importantly we have improved the speed of the application. AddressBook 2.0 is compatible with Android 2.0 and up. If you are interested in testing for us, send me a private message with your email address and I will add you to our program which starts Monday.

[Q] Booking system app for Android

Hey guys
I'm an entrepreneur from Brisbane, Australia. I'm looking into introducing a new product and am wondering if you guys would be able to help me clarify a few questions. I have to add I have no idea what so ever about programming languages or whats possible or not. I just going to post my vision of the application I will need and hope some of you guys can tell me what of that will be possible, what not and how much effort / money it would take to realise.
Firstly of all and most importantly I need the the Phone application to work with several other systems which would be at the moment : - Iphone, Windows Mobile, Blackberry Android, a Website interface, Windows Vista / 7 and Mac OS. I need this to work in two ways. One for the user to sync their data on different apps and secondly for the admin to receive and send data from the main system (that would be working on Windows or Mac)
On first interface the user would have to log in with a username and password, high security would be welcome, after the log in the general interface should be offering the user a booking request form with the ability to use a saved lists of items which have been previously use / prepared but also a interface for add one or editing
It also should offer a open bookings lists and the ability to edit this lists. This should also be able to be synced to the other systems. A third interface showing a history and updates should be also available.
If possible it should offer different accounts and groups where admins can edit the bookings of other users. If this is possible it also should offer a control for the admins which shows bookings and history of other group users.
I would like this obviously to be a professional looking app which offers a good service and is secure and bug free. If anyone has an idea if this is realisable or what parts of it would be difficult or have to be changed please do me the favour and comment.
Thank you for your help in advance.

[Q] First android app and question about NFC tags

I want to develop my first android application as a fun project in my free time, so i hope to get some things cleared before beginning.
The idea is to stick an nfc tag to the door of a college lecture room so students could bump their nfc enabled devices that has my app installed to register their attendance and get some variable information about the lecture (hours, assignments, exams). The app would be connected to the local database server of my college to fetch that information.
What i want to ask is, do nfc chips have unique ID hardcoded to them (I need an ID for each lecture) that is transferred to the phone when touched? Or it's empty and i need to use a nfc writer device to fill some kind of an id or identifier so phones could differentiate between them?

How to "lockdown" a phone for users.

Hi, I'm new to XDA. I'm an android developer, but this is a bit outside my wheelhouse. My company is providing no-cost phones to low-income disadvantaged families for health care and health monitoring purposes in conjunction with a local hospital and local health departments. We developed the app in conjunction with local health departments, and we are procuring the devices ( LG G2 (VS980) ) from a wholeseller of refurb phones. We would like to "lock down" the device to prevent abuse and eliminate company liability. The devices remain company property and will (hopefully) be recovered and re-used for other patients when a patient leaves the program. These devices are solely for the purposes of the program and general purpose smartphone functions are only permitted when not affecting the data/voice/sms service plan. (i.e. Calculator)
While I am capable of using Google, I keep finding information about parental locks. I am looking for information specific to:
1. Restricted dialing to a few numbers that we specify (We might have to provide a custom dialer, 911 service ok)
2. In-bound only SMS, No outbound SMS AT ALL (We might have to provide a one-way only SMS app, replacing the default - How to remove the default app?)
3. No ability to install other apps, no google play
4. Auto-update of our app with no google play account needed
5. Restricted web browsing to servers we list (i.e. only patient web portal)
Many thanks in advance.
