NeuroMind on iPhone 5

As you might know, the screen size (and hence, resolution) of the iPhone 5 has been increased in comparison with its predecessors. Up to the iPhone 3GS the 3.5 inch screen had a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels, and the Retina-display simply doubles this to 960 x 640 pixels. Now, the iPhone 5 comes with a 4 inch screen that delivers a 1136 x 640 resolution. Older apps appear “boxed”, so with small black bars above and below the content. This is also the case for NeuroMind… and obviously, I want this to change.

So while the Windows 8 version of NeuroMind is awaiting approval in the Windows Store, I am taking up development for iPhone and Android. There will be new content (at least 18 new scores… again!) and some more decision support. But also screen issues will get attention: iPhone 5 users (myself included) need to benefit from the larger screen, and Android users with recent hardware (like the Samsung Galaxy S3) need to be able to read the text again. My apologies to current Android users who are having this issue…

To get started, here are some screenshots of NeuroMind 2.1 on the iPhone 5 screen… nice, a full row extra! :-)

    Dear Dr Kubben,

    In two days, I will be ordering the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, with a massive 5.5-inch screen and a 720 x 1080 resolution. Will NeuroMind still work on this new device? With its quad-core, 1.6 GHZ processor, speed shouldn’t be a problem. One feature that would be nice for NeuroMind (perhaps in a future update?) would be to take advantage of the widget capabilities found in the Android operating system. I’m also looking forward to using the new “multi windows mode” so that I can be running NeuroMind and OrthoRef at the same time, on the same screen!

    Thanks so much for all your work!

    Prost,

    J Cook

  3. Dear Mr Cook,

    Thank you for your suggestions. I have not yet experimented with the Galaxy Note, therefore I cannot say what NeuroMind will look like on that device. My highest priority on Android is getting the resolution back to a readable format, and I am working actively on that. Meanwhile, may I suggest to get a nice iPad Mini instead of another Samsung device in your collection?

    Cheers,
    P Kubben

    Dear Dr Kubben,

    Thank you so much for your response, and your suggestion regarding the iPad Mini! Apple must be marketing a different product in the Netherlands, as the iPad Mini that will be sold here in the States will not be capable of making phone calls (as opposed to the Note II, which has that functionality built in). The ability to make phone calls is a very high priority for me, when it comes to choosing a telephone!

    Keep up the great work.

    Kindly,

    J Cook

  5. Sorry, but making phone calls is soooo 2011… ;-)
