Development done right, with an extra touch
We are happy to announce commercial release of our 3D tag control that has been asked for in multiple inquiries through our website. The 1.0 package includes a multiplatform static library that you can link to your projects together with exhaustive documentation and sample applications for both iPhone and iPad.
TagCloudView is written by using purely UIKit without any OpenGL or 3rd party libraries.
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.
Apple has sold nearly 90 million iPhone OS devices worldwide, and recently announced it has sold more than a million iPad devices. Meanwhile, the iPad 3G remains completely sold out in the U.S. weeks after its release.
“One million iPads in 28 days — that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. “Demand continues to exceed supply,” he claimed, “and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”
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?
It doesn’t matter if people understand your business model or not… if you sell a million of anything in 28 days, the competition will soon be clawing to get into the game. Apple is seeing some potential for competition.
The other tablets are coming in a few classes of devices.
Several models will run Windows 7. While I think that will represent something useful for some people, it remains to be seen how tablet-friendly Windows 7 software will become. On top of
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
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.
Ever since upgrading Apple’s iPhone SDK to 3.2 beta and 3.2 final now, I started experiencing this issue: Interface Builder (IB for friends) didn’t recognize, show or list the images in “nib” files associated to an Xcode project.
Other symptom of the problem is Interface Builder not being kept in sync with an Xcode project when adding or altering outlets and actions and then do a Save.
The solution is bizarre and makes me think there’s been a total lack of care from Apple in releasing this XCode as a final version…
MATHO 2 for the iPhone/iPod Touch is a BINGO style math game for students grades K-12. Surgeworks worked on a complete redesign and development of the second version of the game.
