Inspiration for a useful, even marketable, App

I am a lawyer with an idea for a useful Androit app, but I’m too underpowered
(despite playing with AppInventor) to make it myself. Maybe I can inspire a
student, a hobbyist or an entrepreneur to make something like it.
The purpose of the app is to help professional investigators collect
and authenticate evidence with an android device that has two cameras,
one facing out and the other facing the user.
The essential idea: 1. Snap a photo with outward-facing camera. 2.
Launch email and attach the photo to the email. 3. Let user address
email and insert any content. 4. Launch the user-facing camera to
collect video of the user. 5. Provide script for user to say on
video [I <John Doe> hereby authenticate the attached photo of
<describe photo>. The date is . . . and the time is . . . ]. 6.
Attach video to the email and send.
Example of the idea in Zoho Notebook: notebook [dot] zoho [dot] com/nb/public/benwright214/book/376222000000004171
Discussion of the Zoho example: bit [dot] ly/bwpSqC
If someone were to create an app like this, I could explain its value
as a legal investigator’s tool and I could publicize it.
I claim no ownership in the idea. If you make an app, you can sell
it. I just want to tell people about it.
Suggestions welcome.

This wouldn't b that hard to implement only downside is that not many android phones have a front facing camera
I will look into this later today

Given the buzz around things like FaceTime, front cameras are becoming/will become more common in all mobile devices, Android and otherwise. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Tab has a front camera. With front cameras, I can imagine a whole series of business-and-professional-oriented apps . . . in other words, apps people will pay for. I'm happy to share my ideas and refinements for free (no obligation). As a pretty-well-known e-commerce lawyer, I just want to see some apps like this come to life so I can talk about them in the business, legal and investigators' communities.

Live video from the London launch

HTC have invited me to attend the HTC One Launch at London Olympia on 25th March. I'll be there in the front row along with 19 other lucky HTC fans to witness the spectacle and meet up with the big names at HTC.
There will also be plenty of opportunity to have some hands-on time with the new HTC One so it is going to be a great experience. The phone itself has been leaked in the blogosphere and press until most people believe they've seen it all already, but for me, leaks seem so tawdry and sly. There's nothing quite like the razzamatazz of a product launch to add spice and whatever they show me, I'll be suitably excited.
Not only will I be attending, but along with 2 other fans on-site and our very own @mike_1986, we will be delivering a live video feed of the entire proceedings. Three of us will be cameramen on-site and Mike will be back home at ARHD Headquarters twiddling the knobs. We will be using our own HTC One phones and Hangouts-on-Air to bring you the action.
We have HTC's permission to do this so it's all semi-official.
We won't just cover the presentation, as most official videos seem to do. We will also be continuing to broadcast during the hands-on and entertainment session, so that we can bring you live action where it matters.
For more information you can:
# Follow the hashtags #ARHDLiveHTCOne and #M8Live on Twitter for up-to-date news of the steam (e.g. the url for the Youtube link)
# Subscribe to Mike's Youtube Channel for the broadcast (https://www.youtube.com/user/michalbanszel)
# Or keep in touch on the Android Revolution HD Blog site for up-to-date action (http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.nl/2014/03/android-revolution-on-htc-one-2014.html)
Please remember that this is a totally amateur attempt and will be dependent on 3G or WiFi bandwidth and coverage within London Olympia. We can promise nothing absolutely, but we do promise we will try to do it ...
The whole thing will be broadcast 'on-the-fly' with almost no storyline, so please don't expect us to look at specific things .. You can ask ... We'll try, but we don't know what we will be allowed to do with the samples yet !!
And if you are interested or would like to help us reach out ... Please share the hashtags #ARHDLiveHTCOne and #M8Live and links above as widely as possible.
When the event is actually taking place I will try to replace this Youtube link with the live feed connection.
Watch this Space ...
If you're a blogger, please feel free to embed the feed on your blog or link to Mikes blog page (above). All we ask is that if you do embed the feed, please add a credit to Mike's blog as the originator of the video.

Thanks for doing this, 5 days left...

I've also asked XDA's own Shen Ye if he can find the time to do a 5-10 minute, on camera hands-on for us .. Waiting on his reply now.

So you guys are gonna play with the devices before the actual show? That's the way it always is , the press plays with the devices, make their hands on, videos etc and after the show they post them

Nope .. we're not press we're fans .. so we get no special preview privileges .. We only get to touch the phones after the big reveal.
What we're going to do for value add is continue beyond jsut the presentation ... normally official videos of launches stop after the presentation. They may run a couple of adverts but it's all 'potted' stuff.
We're hoping to rope in Shen Ye to do a 5 minute hands on and we also want to cover some of the press reactions and general show scenes .. ... and do it live - as it's happening (well - with a 30 second to 1 minute spooling delay) ...
Once the live vid is closed it will be preserved on Mikes channel on Youtube.

Let's see if i can link the live feed directly to the OP ... this should be an interesting experiment

:good:

Bump now the video link is made. See you all at 2:45

Sweet. Let's see how this goes.

[HELP] Video based advertisement

Does anyone know how to do video based advertisement like Cut the rope 2? For instance, user may watch the video advertisement to obtain some rewards in the game. Please share with me if you have any information on this.

Im sure Vungle has video ads, just give the user a reward for watching it.

adcolony also provide video ads

Here are some video ad networks:
Adcolony
Vungle
AerServ
Unity Ads
Tremor

One more option if interested
I work for a incentivized video company called Unlockable, check it out at demo.unlockable.com and email me at [email protected] if you like it! It's a little different than the others above.

Actually you can disable e-mail notifications from subscribed channels. If you go settings, on the left-hand side you should see E-mail. Clicking on that will let you customize your e-mail notifications so you can easily block notifications from subscribed channels.

Done!
When will the winners be announced?

Mass advertising at its best. What ever happened to simplicity and ONLY having to leave a comment to be entered? Now it's all "subscribe to these certain amount of people" and "like us on Facebook and twitter".
Good luck to whoever enters.

the page views and subs they get plus google adsense on their channel will yield them much more than the cost of a new phone. slick slick slick..
all the best to the hand picked pre-determined winners...
