iPhone Your Life: Apple Tries to Get its App Store Act Together

Posted under apps, website, Commentary, News, iPhone, Apple on November 20th, 2008 by admin0 comments

There have been a lot of complaints about the organization of the App Store. Yes, you can search, and browse by category, but the sheer volume of apps available and the relatively simple App Store design make finding something without knowing exactly what you’re looking for a bit of a nightmare. Luckily, you have us […]

The iPhone Gets Stickier With Glue

Posted under network, glue, social media, apps, Commentary, iPhone, software, News, Apple on November 18th, 2008 by admin0 comments

I’m a social kind of guy. On the web, that means I’m a social media kind of guy. Which is why I was interested in Glue, a service from AdaptiveBlue that turns Firefox into one big trip to Indigo/DVD night/book club/music exchange. Now Glue for iPhone brings the same kind of experience to your mobile […]

It’s been a good week for iPhone owners, in particular we’ve had cause to celebrate with AT&T’s announcement of tethering and a sneak peek at the new iPhone firmware revealing podcast downloading on the go. As ever, the App Store has continued to grow like a digital garden of eden and now it’s time for us […]

The time has arrived for us to wave a fond farewell to the week that brought us the joys of seeing Steve Wozniak dressed as a Sith Lord and the subsequent horror of seeing The Woz then attempt to act. As usual, the App Store has been chugging away in the background like a steam engine fueled only […]

Google Earth for iPhone: I Can See My House From Here

Posted under google, earth, google earth, apps, News, iPhone, software, Apple on October 27th, 2008 by admin0 comments

While Google claimed long before Android’s release that having their own mobile OS would not dampen their enthusiasm for the iPhone platform, I had my doubts. How was it possible that the iPhone would not get short-changed overall, with preference and primary focus going to Android apps and support? For now, at least, it seems […]

AppLoop iPhone App Generator (Now Anyone Can Be A Developer!)

Posted under Development, app store, apploop, apps, Commentary, iPhone, News, Apple on October 20th, 2008 by admin0 comments

I’ve wanted really badly to develop an iPhone application since the SDK was announced. What kind of application? It doesn’t matter. Something not too ugly that does something of limited utility, and does it well. I ran into two problems: First, I have no development or coding experience (I stumble through basic HTML). Second, I […]

In what must be related to an internal policy decision on behalf of Apple, yesterday saw the release of five separate applications (Compose, TouchType, Sideways, Lettera, and Wide Email) that allow you to compose emails in landscape mode.
Each application boasts the ability to type out email text using the much more user friendly (especially for […]
