I recently started using Titanium from appcelerator for mobile development and wanted to share some tips. Its actually more of the problems I encountered and solutions I discovered.

Problem 1 - A project created by my friend won't import properly on my machine. When I mean it won't import properly, titanium developer reported that the import was successful. But when I navigate to test & package tab, it would be blank.

Solution: The problem here was that my friend did not commit the build directory that was created by titanium, to the repository. So when I imported the project there was no build directory in it. Titanium should ideally error out while importing or atleast give some sort of warning, but it did not do that. And normally as engineers, we assume that build directory contains some build output so we won't commit them. But you have to when you develop with Titanium.

Problem 2 - When I try to create a new mobile project, titanium will say "error creating project, try again" but nothing about what the error is.

Solution: the problem here was the default sdk version selected by titanium when I created a new project was not supported. So I had to change it to successfully create a project. Again, a generic message from titanium here doesn't help much. Once I change the sdk to 1.2.0 it was successful.

AT&T’s first Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone, the HTC Pure, has some reasonable heritage; while the casing may look new, the guts of the handset are shared with HTC’s Touch Diamond2. Back when we reviewed the Diamond2 in May, we described it as the best Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone on the market, and suggested it was well placed for the promised update to 6.5.

The Pure offers a 3.2-inch WVGA restive touchscreen, only now it’s clad in a shiny dark-blue plastic body rather than the metal-edged casing of the Diamond2. What you lose in tactile feel, you gain in a display that feels less recessed than we found the original handset’s to be. Physical controls are limited to a touch-sensitive zoom slider sandwiched between the display and four hardware buttons – call, Windows, back and end – together with volume keys on the top right-hand side and a power/lock button up top. On the base there’s HTC’s usual ExtUSB port (which is compatible with miniUSB) and which – with a frustrating dongle – offers a 3.5mm headphone socket. Like the Diamond2, there’s no way to plug in a standard set of headphones.

Wireless connectivity, meanwhile, includes HSDPA 7.2, WiFi b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, together with GPS, meaning there’s no shortage of ways to get online. A microSD card slot is hidden under the battery cover. HTC’s choice of display is just as bright and vibrant as we remember from the Diamond2, and shows off the latest version of TouchFLO 3D. The company’s own finger-friendly UI sits on top of Windows Mobile 6.5, and works well to keep the stylus in its silo most of the time. For all the details – and opinion – on Microsoft’s new smartphone platform, check out our Windows Mobile 6.5 review. That covers the underlying OS, the Windows Marketplace for Mobile app store – paid downloads from which AT&T subscribers can charge straight to their monthly bill – MyPhone backup and all of Microsoft’s other tweaks and amendments to its Windows Phone platform.

What’s less impressive six months down the line is the performance, especially in the wake of the iPhone 3GS. We found the on-screen keyboard – though well spaced, sensibly laid-out and with decent auto-correction – to be sluggish, especially when typing URLs in either of the Pure’s preinstalled browsers. The Windows Phone has both Internet Explorer Mobile 6 and Opera Mobile, and of the two we prefer Opera’s attempt. While IE Mobile 6 has certainly improved over its deeply disappointing predecessor, and now supports Flash Lite, its rendering abilities fall short; CSS proved particularly tricky for the browser, where Opera Mobile had no problems with the same sites.

The Pure’s camera is the same 5-megapixel autofocus unit as on the Diamond2, offering a digital zoom and touch-autofocus. Picture quality falls short of the advanced optics on recent Samsung and Sony Ericsson devices, but is still reasonable. There’s a minor lag between tapping the display (to take the photo – unfortunately there’s no dedicated camera key), the focus locking and the image being snapped. While the digital zoom is fast, it can’t be used during video recording; however, you can pre-zoom before starting to record a clip.

Battery life is a reasonable two days with moderate use, though if you leave ActiveSync turned on for push-email you may find, like we did, that you need to recharge midway through the second day. As for call quality, the Pure is fair but we missed the particularly clear speakerphone from the Pro2. Given the lack of 3.5mm headphones jack, we found it made more sense using a stereo Bluetooth headset than the awkward adapter dongle (that’s included in the box; HTC and AT&T also provide an ExtUSB stereo headset with microphone). Still, media playback isn’t the Pure’s forte, and neither the Windows Mobile Media Player app nor TouchFLO 3D’s mediaplayer can hold a candle to the iPhone 3GS’s version.

The smartphone space is perhaps one of the fastest evolving in tech right now, and the different landscape in which the AT&T Pure finds itself compared to its Diamond2 sibling is a good example of that. Rival handsets such as the HTC Hero and the iPhone 3GS outclass the Pure’s resistive touchscreen, occasionally laggy keyboard and half-hearted PMP functionality, while the Verizon HTC Imagio offers a bigger display and a standard 3.5mm jack. At $149.99 (following a $50 rebate and assuming a new, two-year contract) the Pure is cheaper than the Imagio, but if Windows Mobile is a must-have we’d plump for the Verizon device.

For a few, the term Google Phone 2.0 is absolutely alien so they need to be told that it is just another name for the second version of the Google mobile OS, Android. The much anticipated Motorola Droid is the one that is powered by this OS, just to make things a little more explicable. Also, another clarification needed before we tell you more about Android 2.0 is that Google is not at all readying its own handset and therefore Google 2.0 is not a name of any handset coming in the future.

As far as the Android 2.0 OS is concerned, the droid users will discover that they can run the applications quicker than usual times and even while multi-tasking, the features are more readily accessible.Unlike the normal handsets, the Android 2.0 powered devices will have a contact list that includes contacts from Facebook as well. The Zooming function also gets a boost with this OS and the users also get to use the latest and updated Google Maps.

Another marked change is the improvement in support for Microsoft Exchange. Google 2.0 users can integrate their mails from various accounts into one common place.

There are features that make the phone usage easier while driving and even video uploading will be less cumbersome a task. Just to remind you again, Google 2.0 is not a handset!

New design A Concept Pen Phone:

As cellular phone is getting tinier and tinier,the design A concept phone use the pen-shaped design, while it can also be used as a pen, design A has 10 digital buttons and bar OLED display, support for messaging, music player, voice recording, USB2.0 and microSD card expansion.

There have been working products, but none as slim and small as this one sent us by an anonymous tipster. He told us this "design A" is not a finished product yet, and added that the undisclosed company he's working for wants to gauge interest in such a device. While most users will connect the phone to Bluetooth earpieces, those two target-shaped areas on the top and bottom are earpiece and receiver.
