Turn your iPhone into Joystick – iMo presents the application at TC50

September 26th, 2009 Vinay 1 comment

There had been numerous applications coming for iPhone and had seen people putting some serious effort and great ideas to build these application. I was about programmers from India coming up with a  gaming application and that too for a iPhone . There were 2 reasons

a) Gaming is not much popular in India as it is in Kore, Europe or US

b) iPhone with its very high cost has been out of hands for maximum number of users.

But my doubts were laid to rest when iMo , a 2 person startup from India developed an iPhone/iTouch app that transforms your iPhone into a joystick. This would allow you it to control gameplay. iMo presented this application at techCrunch50 this year.

Judges were also impressed and as Mark Andersson, one of the jduges of techCrunch50 pointed that it can be used by 2 players to play tennis.

Not only was the application interesting , I liked the presentation done by Himanshu.  He showed some real guts.

iMo won the best presentation award at TechCrunch50

Congrats Himanshu.  Great Job.

What this blog is all about ?

June 13th, 2009 Vinay 6 comments

This is the first official post on skill-guru blog. It has been very late of me to catch this blog fever. But all this time I never had anything specific to write about. I was always wondering what I could write which others would take time to read.

Do I read article written by some one else ? Perhaps No. But things really changed ever since I landed in US. I really found some very good blogs like mashable and tech crunch which provide so much insightful information on technological world and updated news.  But I swear that they have been so addictive that there is hardly any day when I do not read them.

The use fullness of a blog now dawns upon me. With Kindle from Amazon and iphone arriving in hands of people , I am sure the blogs would grow more in popularity.

So what I am going to write about. What would be covered in this blog ?

We will start with the technical stuff (that has been my forte) and some discussions around technology. This blog would also act as a guidance to college students on career .

Please feel free to add comments and tell us anything else we should cover
