tempoapppageThe latest update also includes the addition of a new widget & a whole bunch of languages including Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Polish, Korean & Swedish, among others.

The Tempo smart calendar app was already capable of being a highly efficient virtual secretary & personal assistant, providing “Insights” about people & companies, fetching related emails & documents, & matching up contacts to events without inviting.

It can send “Running Late” messages & wish your friends happy birthday on Facebook on your behalf.

If all this & the ability to create events using SIRI is not enough, you can also use it as a calendar to add & update reminders, & show your week by people, companies or events.

The new smart widget makes use of the new Today View in iOS8, where it will show you the day’s events, along with one-touch access to the contact details & insights for people you’ll be meeting. You can create & schedule events without opening the app.

A Tempo smart calendar app running on iOS8 will also be able to receive interactive notifications with contextual alerts. You can get directions, check your flight status, & dial-in to conference calls with a single tap in response to the notifications.

Another new thing is the evening notification. These are notifications sent after you finish your work day. It will summarize important events for the next day, along with relevant insights & suggested follow-ups from today’s meetings.

The Android version is not available as yet, but you can sign up for a beta test for Tempo’s Android, web, Mac & other platforms.

Surprise! iPhone Web share outpaces share of app traffic in N. America

Chitika Insights has published a report that shows the iPhone as a clear leader in two categories – traffic share of different smartphone makers across both apps & the mobile Web in the North American region. The iPhone’s share of traffic is greater on the mobile Web than in the world of apps.

For arriving at this conclusion, Chitika drew upon 2 sets of data – half a billion mobile exchange impressions through the company’s Cidewalk platform (for app traffic) & millions of ad impressions from the Chitika Ad Network (for mobile Web traffic) from earlier this month.

It said in the report that mobile application vs. Web traffic on North American smartphones reflected similar environments from a brand perspective. To determine Web-based traffic figures, Chitika Insights analyzed 10s of millions of U.S. & Canadian smartphone-based online ad impressions generated within the Chitika Ad Network from December 3 through 9, 2014.

Conversely, while Apple iPhone users were the largest traffic drivers in both environments, their share turns out to be higher on the Web (52.5%) than in-app (46.0%) – a 6.5 percentage point share difference that’s the largest of any brand.

It’s likely that Apple users, in aggregate, are simply more likely to use their browser throughout the course of a given day, the agency said.

Additionally, other outside metrics point to global Google Play app downloads outstripping iOS by a significant margin. While that trend is presumably more muted within North America where iOS devices are more pervasive, it’s reasonable to assume that it still holds true in some degree.
