Our Director of Business Development, Balsu Thandu, just got back from BlackBerry Live and shared some highlights from the event.

Local leaders in mobility attended the Mobile Monday Seattle meet-up this week to discuss hot topics ranging from APIs, HTML 5, and roadmaps and mobile strategies for companies like: AT&T, Microsoft, Red Foundry, Apptentive and ProgrammableWeb.

What a fantastic week at IBM Impact! We had a great time organizing the Worklight focused hackathon and speaking about our APIs.  Here's a recap in pictures..

We’re pleased to announce the new AT&T Advertising API.

Last week, AT&T held its annual Innovations Showcase in New York City.  Here are some of the event highlights...

Let’s talk about how you can use our new toolkit  to easily integrate AT&T APIs, like Speech, into apps built on the Salesforce^® platform.

I’ll show you a simple mobile application built using Visualforce and the Salesforce Mobile SDK that uses the AT&T Speech API via the toolkit to search for customer support issues (aka Case records) in Salesforce based on a user’s voice input.

AT&T releases the production version of their Device Capabilities API.

The Device Capabilities API provides an effective way to identify the user's device and its capabilities, allowing you to develop applications that improve the user experience. Verify that a specific device meets your app’s requirements. Develop apps that customize content delivery specifically for that device, providing a rich user experience.

Microphone sensitivity will affect speech performance.  Unfortunately, the myriad of possible configurations make it impossible to determine precisely what these settings need to be.  Your application should provide help, assistance, or trouble shooting information.

Latest news! AT&T launches the Microsoft® Visual Studio® Extensions for the AT&T API Platform!

As many of you already know, HTML5 is quickly becoming the go-to programming language for mobile apps. Earlier this month our friends over at Intel wrote about how HTML5 is changing the development game and how your app’s performance is strictly dependent on the browser that’s hosting it. The article explains that for developers, the problem isn’t necessarily learning HTML5, but understanding which browsers support which functions.

SpeechTEK 2012, the largest conference in North America for the speech technology industry, was held this past week at the New York Marriott Marquis. The AT&T Developer Program team and the speech team at AT&T Labs were there in full force.
