Mobile Apps & DPCUC History

Presented by Jason Mills, Ed Goudge and Bob Bell

So far, over 3 billion apps have been downloaded from the Android Market and Apple passed 10 billion app downloads in January. At the general meeting of the Durham Personal Users Computer Club, Jason Mills will present information on the vast applications currently available. We will also get a firsthand look at downloading and installing Apps on both an Android device and an Apple device.

Ed Goudge will outline his experiences tranfering all his communications to a new Blackberry and

Bob Bell will present a short "History of the Club" to commemorate our 25^th aniversary.

The executive would like input from our members as to what they would like to see presented.

Presently we are considering (in no special order)

• An automotive expert to explain the number of computers in your car, and how to tune them.
• How to download and install applications to smart phones, tablets, and E-book readers.
• OnStar - a presentation of General Motor's one button driver assistance system.
• A presentation and evaluation of all the presently available smart phones on the market.
• A presentation of file recovery software, with a focus on photo file recovery from various media types.
• A presentation by the Durham Regional Police Services on their forensic use of computers.

If any of these topics intertest you, or you have other suggestions, please contact our outgoing Jason Mills - Program Director, 905-436-3609 or our gregarious John Sylvestervich - President, 905-723-6797. With your input we can make our club stronger and more interesting.

The Club's General Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at Faith United Church, 1778 Nash Road in Courtice, 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
