Development done right, with an extra touch
If you have an existing project and you try to resubmit to the app store, you are likely to run into a problem with the changes Apple has made.
Error: The binary you uploaded was invalid. The bundle did not contain an icon for iPad of exactly 72×72 pixels, in .png format.
Solution: Add a .png to your project of this size, then go to Info.plist, add a new key CFBundleIconFiles, rick-click it and change it to an array, and for values
If you’re left handed like me, forget being able to use an iPhone 4 without a case. Here are the myths and facts about the iPhone 4 reception issues. I’ve been thinking of how Apple could resolve the issue with a software update: they could determine how you’re holding the phone, perhaps thanks to the new gyroscope, and prompt you to hold it properly… like in the picture.
If you haven’t followed the events lately, here is a brief summary for you…
Apple announced that it sold 2 million iPads in less than two months. That means Apple has sold about 34,000 per day on average. Apple reached its first million sales of the iPad in just 28 days.
The announcement comes just days after the iPad started selling into international markets, shipping units in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray issued a note to investors Tuesday, in which he upped his 2010 sales estimates to 6.2 million in 2010.
The new iPhone is expected to be announced in a few days at Apple’s WWDC. This time there’s a lot known and just a little unknowns, since a prototype iPhone was “found in a bar” and sold to Gizmodo earlier this year.
The next generation iPhone is expected to feature: front-facing video chat camera, improved back-camera with flash, micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad), increased screen resolution (960×640?) and a new design. Photos of a white version (both back and forth panels) surfaced recently.
Google Search, Google Ads, Google Phones, Google Browser, Google Netbooks, Google Tablets, Google TVs, then what?
Vic Gundotra, vice president of engineering for Google, suggested during Google I/O conference that Google’s entrance into the mobile phone market was a move meant to directly oppose the likes of Apple and its tightly controlled iPhone platform.
“If Google did not act, we faced a Draconian future where one man, one company, one device, one carrier would be our only choice,” Gundotra said. “That’s a future we don’t want.”
Really? Or the future Google doesn’t want is one in which they don’t control the ad networks fully? Aren’t they entering every market in which advertising is a crucial part of the picture?
Many people don’t give a second thought to the idea that you can upgrade your laptop or desktop computer to a newer operating system, even an OS from a different vendor, down the road. It’s a completely different story for mobiles. The roots of the problem are in the specialized hardware that mobiles have. The hardware manufacturer has to be on board when you want to release new firmware specifically for that mobile.
Apple’s consolidated mobile product line and tight control
The iPad. Hate it, love it, addicted to it?… reactions are all over the web, the only thing you can’t do is ignore the new “magical” device from Apple. Steve Jobs finally reached the target he and Wozniak had when they initially started working together: the iPad is the first computer for people that don’t really need a computer. Housekeepers, wives (or the rare non-tech husbands), children, grandmas and grandpas… all of them just fall in love with Apple’s tablet device.
Apple announced on Friday that WWDC 2010 will kick off on June 7, running through June 11 at San Francisco’s Moscone West. A date for the keynote was not announced, though it is expected to be June 7. One new rumor suggests the fourth-generation iPhone could go on sale immediately after it is announced.
A leaked prototype of Apple’s next-generation iPhone has already revealed that the handset will likely have a forward-facing camera for video chat, and camera flash to improve picture lighting, and a camera upgrade from 3.2 megapixels to 5.0 megapixels is expected.
Designed to be very simple to use, this audio version of the Liturgy of the Houts includes scripture readings, psalms and prayers for the Night Prayer (Compline) of each day. This iPhone App will automatically download today’s audio as well as the next few days.
