Line didn't say how it achieved bundling so many people in a single call, perhaps because it's a trade secret. The company argues that Popcorn Buzz could be a useful tool for consumers and enterprise users who want to hold massive calls but don't want to pay fees typically reserved for enterprise-focused software platforms to do it. Using Popcorn Buzz is similar to using other calling apps. You create an account and find others to communicate with. When you're on a call with up to 200 people, Popcorn Buzz shows each user's icon. A green dot over the icon tells others who's talking at that moment. Chances are, if there are 200 people on a call, that dot will be moving around awfully quickly.

Popcorn Buzz is available now in the Google Play marketplace, According to Line, the free download requires iphone case uag Android 4.0 or higher and is available globally, An iPhone version, as well as the addition of group video chat, will be available at some point "in the future."Line did not immediately respond to a request for comment, The free app is currently available only on Android but will land on the iPhone somewhere down the line, says its creator, For the more popular among us, group calling seems to have just hit an awfully high milestone..

Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference kicks off on Monday, June 8, and the Apple Watch is bound to take a large role. While there are already over 4,000 Apple Watch apps, they're among the weakest links. Improving them, and improving some other features with some operating system updates, could help the watch take another step forward in 2015. Here are the Apple Watch improvements I expect and hope to see announced in San Francisco next week. There are already thousands of Apple Watch apps, and more coming every day..but most of these apps feel really slow, slow to load, slow to pull new information.

The most obvious reason for this lack of speed is that these third-party apps aren't even allowed to "live" on the Watch itself, With the notable exception of Apple's own apps, all third-party apps to run as "extensions," pulling from an iPhone app to get any information onto the watch, The phone-to-watch process takes more time, in most cases, than simply checking the iPhone app, Moreover, these apps can't currently iphone case uag take advantage of the watch's onboard sensors, That's all about to change, Speaking at the Code Conference last week, Jeff Williams -- Apple senior vice president of operations -- confirmed that an official Apple Watch app software development kit (SDK) will be announced at WWDC, That would allow third-party developers to create apps to run on the watch without a phone being connected (for calculators, games or other tools), which should consequently allow those apps to load and run faster, Possibly a lot faster..

Williams also confirmed that the new SDK will allow such apps to access to the watch's sensors and features (voice memo apps, vibrating alarms, fitness apps that use pedometer and heart rate, and more) directly, lifting the restriction that exists for non-Apple apps so far. That means you could finally see, say, a Jawbone app that uses the heartrate sensor, or a Fitbit app that uses the pedometer. While the new SDK is great news, the resulting native watch apps may not start to appear until later this year. But it means the Apple Watch could end up getting the killer apps it so desperately needs.
