Here’s a blast from the past. As Xcode continues to improve as the default IDE on the Mac and for the iPhone, the majority of Apple’s current developers don’t even how CodeWarrior saved Apple. With the release of the iPhone SDK, I think it’s not far fetched to imagine Apple’s WWDC attendance tripling. Someone sent […]
When I was a little boy my Mom had me memorize this little poem: Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;Beginners are many, but enders are few.Honor, power, place and praiseWill always come to the one who stays. Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;Bend at it, sweat at it, smile […]
In Google’s recent Google Friends Newsletter we have this tidbit: Google Maps for mobile, now with My Location (beta) GPS-enabled mobile phones continue to rise in popularity – but most of us do not have that capability. Now, with the latest version of Google Maps for mobile, you can use the new My Location (beta) […]
If the folks over at Gear Live have the scoop on the newest iPhone firmware update, it looks like it will add some very cool features. My favorite will absolutely be the “Locate Me” feature added to the Google Maps application. Gear Live servers are slammed right now, but here are some of the small […]

There’s a cool little feature I just discovered thanks to a friend at work. If you are on a phone call, and turn on your iPod music, everyone on the call can hear your music! Also, the volume controls for the phone call and the music are separate so you can have some nice background […]
Apple has posted their iPhone User’s Guide for all those of you who can’t get a hold of one, and all throughout are references to ‘iPhone’, not ‘the iPhone.’ One example follows: To activate iPhone: 1 Download and install iTunes 7.3 (or later) from http://www.itunes.com. 2 Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your […]
When Apple announced that the “sweet” iPhone Software Development Kit was going to be AJAX and “Web 2.0 stuff”, most developers scoffed. A few went to work, and now we are starting to see some web applications built specifically for the iPhone. First up is a very nicely designed shopping list application named OneTrip. It […]
You may have heard the saying, “It’s the journey, not the destination.” I like this saying, but I have never applied it to user interface design. Normally, when prototyping or sketching up a UI design, I focus on the end states, the screenshot. Once you have that, you link screenshot to screenshot in a kind […]
Admittedly, my sample is skewed, but I have yet to talk to anyone at work who doesn’t want an iPhone. Even the skeptics, after playing with one in person have tried to purchase one. Tried and failed only because every store in the state of Washington is sold out right now. There’s even been some […]
