How can I get my iPad map to show the zip code?

Q. I know that it will show it if I search by it. But if I search for a location, or pinpoint a spot on the map, it will give me everything about the address accept for the zip code.
I know there are other apps and ways of finding the zip code, but I dont' want to have to use two different sources.
Is there some way I can make my ipad give me the zip code for the points on the map?
...the default map app.

A. Get a droid tab :) LOL - sorry, Monica I couldn't resist. On the android market there is an app that let's you pinpoint long. / lat., minutes / second, +/- GMT calc and zip and I think even country code and prefix info based on GPS ... apple market doesn't have it? I'm sure it would help if I had the name.


Is there an Android app that will help me open zip files on my tablet?
Q. The zip files are on a MicroSD Card. I can see them but not open them. I don't have access to a computer right now.
Astro won't do it. I have Astro.

A. File Expert, Its free without any adds. It is also root file explorer,NFC support,zip/rar support etc. Check out the link for more features


How can I use the internet to upload and edit files from both work and home?
Q. Tired of buying and losing zip drives...
I want to upload documents,pictures and videos from home, access and edit them from work, re-upload them from work, to re-access from home?
I like Just Cloud, but it seems like I'll be able to access files from work but not re-upload files that I edited.
I know I can remote access my computer from home but I want all the options of remote access with online backup-storage.
Any options?

A. 2 suggestions
Dropbox and Google Docs

Dropbox is a free document cloud service (2gb). It allows you to upload files via a folder on your computer, and you don't need to go to the site. If you set it up on 2 computers, you should be able to...
save a file from your home computer to dropbox.
Open it a work. Edit and resave.
Have it there at home.

Only problem with this setup is you need to re-open/download the file. Dropbox does not allow for editing a document concurrently on two computers. However, its still great for Cloud files and easy access from several locations. Dropbox also has an App for iPhone, and iPad(probably android too, but i'm not sure)

Google docs is a free cloud service (5gb). It also allows you to upload files via a folder. Most Cloud programs do these days. The biggest feature is the ability to edit a document by multiple computers simultaneously-this is a great feature for group documents, as everyone can edit at the same time on the same, web based document. https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/drive/start/index.html

Hope this helps


What do I need to make applications for android phones?
Q. I already know how to program in Flash, Java, and the basics of c++. I was looking for an internship for the summer, and failed. So I thought I would teach myself how to make applications for the android phones. So what do I need to get started?
Ok thanks jaffamol. I am downloading eclipse now. Before I was using JGrasp as a IDE(for java).

A. You will need:

Java Development Kit (and JRE, which most people have anyway) : http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Android SDK : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

The best IDE EVER! Eclipse : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/galileo/SR2/eclipse-java-galileo-SR2-win32.zip

ADT plugin for Eclipse : http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html

That's what you need to get started, this will give you an IDE to develop in and emulators to test with.

Get started with a guide to Android development : http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html

-------------------------------------------------------------
No problem, I find Eclipse much better than anything else, and it's recommended for Android development. You could use other IDE's but Android has a plugin for Eclipse which will give you things like, intellisense, easily debug applications in the emulator, easily export unsigned and signed applications, easily view all threads, memory and all that lovely stuff.
