What are apps?

Apps are  short for applications.  Apps are the  software programs  that works on a software system such as Personal Computer (PC/desktop), laptop, smart phones. Ex: You may be familiar with WordPad on your computer. WordPad is actually an application that runs on your main background computer software. The idea of them is that they’re computer programs  which are used to do a particular kind of job so WordPad is used for writing or word processing, while Application PowerPoint for making presentations . Mozilla Firefox or Chrome are applications used for browsing internet or web. These are desktop applications which reside on your machine.

Solving life dilemma one App at a time

There’s also a whole world of web applications out there that you run directly from the computers that host the Internet and you do that through your internet browser which is itself a desktop application. Google Docs are examples of web applications.  There are similar applications for mobile phones too – notepads, currency converters, mini browsers and all sorts. For example the Opera web desktop browser has a hugely successful version on the mobile phone, that does the very same task, called Opera Mini.

A simple analogy: Is there only one kind of spoon that we use in daily life?No We use tea spoon, table spoon, serving spoon, ladle etc each is used for a specific purpose. (Check Wiki for list of spoons)  Different kinds of spoon exist to simplify a specific purpose .

App Store

In 2007, Apple launched an online store where you buy all sorts of these mobile phone applications specifically designed to run on the iPhone. They referred to these mobile applications as “apps” and the rest is history. So now, common parlance essentially has it that when people are talking about apps, 95% of the time, they’re going to be talking about small programs specifically made for mobile phones.   The Android Market sells them for Android phones, the Windows Marketplace sells them for Windows Mobile phones, Symbian still has its huge support of apps out there as well as Palm, BlackBerry as well. Mobile Phones also come with their own apps pre-installed too.

Intel App Store

In 2010 Intel launched  the Intel AppUp(SM) center. It  is a service that allows end consumers to browse a centralized catalog of applications for purchase or download to their netbook or other personal computing device.  Applications are available for many different categories including social, education, entertainment, communications etc.  More applications are being added to the store all the time. The best way to see what is available in the Intel AppUp(SM) center is to install the client software and search the storefront.  The Intel AppUp client officially supports the Windows operating system from Windows XP Home- Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits.

The AppUp Center is relatively easy to use. It is nicely organized and offers a number of different kinds of app categories, new apps, recommended apps and “hot” apps. Intel is serious about Apps. Instead of just becoming a PC chip company in consumer markets.  What Apple has done for the iPhone with its App Store, Intel hopes to do for PC/netbooks with its AppUp Center, a downloadable storefront for games and other software.

Become Aware about Money, Spending, Tracking

“The waste of money cures itself, for soon there is no more to waste”- M.W.Harrison

With money one should be able to :

  • meet the needs and monthly household expense
  • build a healthy saving to meet your future goals.
  • build a financial safety net to stabilize your financial present and future-  deal with emergencies without a significant financial impact, and
  • set aside money to grow through investments.

At training sessions of bemoneyaware.com  we find that people are not aware of where the money goes. They do not know their monthly expenses , balance etc hence they are not able to find money for their goals. Benjamin Franklin said it best – “a small leak will sink a great ship.” It is important that we inspect our ship (our finances) and look for those small leaks regularly via our budgets. If you budgeted 500 Rs for an expense but you spent Rs 700 there is a leak somewhere! The thing about small leaks that go unattended is that they turn into big leaks! When it’s your money leaking you are being robbed of your quality of life.

Stop the leaks

We ask them to write their spending’s,  write a budget and then identify and fix those leaks before they are sunk! We have our own wosksheets but we are always on lookout for worksheets, software to help them. And MoneyBag  in Finance category from Intel App seemed an answer to our prayers.
