iPhone 3.0

Preview demo March 17, 2009

Will be nice to get a look at the new OS. Hopefully they'll have a dev release at that time too. Background processing would be just what I need for the apps I want to build.

HAPPY APPLE DAY

Sources:

I'm hoping there is progresses towards my dream laptop, for purchase in 2010(?):

MacBook Air, 4gb RAM, 256gb SSD, Dual-DVI out - or better on any of those features.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

So, there is a now a tethering app (NetShare) in the Apple iPhone app store.

Now I'm sorely tempted to upgrade to the new iPhone. Mmmm, internet everywhere. Might be worth the $200 upgrade fee for iPhone 3G since I'm on call for server emergencies.

Here it is (link requires iTunes 7.7)

It is such totally controlling Microsoft/Sony style bullshit. As far as I am concerned apple is the new microsoft. Can you imagine if the web was treated this way and Microsoft had limited all development in web browsers to the select few who had paid for the access keys. If they cant even get it together to get out the dev licenses how are they going to be able to review all the applications? Guess what big business will come first and every niche market will be taken.

Back when Microsoft was criticized for locking the web into their OS I used to love apple because they were not like that. Now they have gone from embracing opens source technologies to turning them for a profit and locking the end developers out of the game. How is it possible even?

If the web on iphone is really the next internet this is a horrible way to go. Imagine if computers went this way. Where every application had to go through a commercial gatekeeper to be on a device.

jim writes at 04:29:10 03/14/08 - Comment #32752: I've seen posts from a few big name Mac indie devs that also haven't gotten in, I think Apple was just overwhelmed with applications. The SDK was downloaded 100,000 times which is crazy.

They better get their act in gear quickly and open more dev slots or they're going to miss a huge opportunity. As is, not being accepted into the program means that you can only test in the simulator - not on the real device which is just fail all around.

So, anyone up for joining forces and trying to win $$$ in the remaining month of the Android Contest?

paul writes at 03:01:15 03/14/08 - Comment #32749: This is why apple sucks. Other people will have a bigger headstart and way more advantage now. its sad because you are the biggest apple fanboy I know.

jim writes at 02:41:26 03/14/08 - Comment #32743: There's this guy I know, Wayne, who lives in town and is amazing. He's on the core teams of some big Ruby open source projects. He scares me he's so smart :/

jim writes at 02:25:11 03/14/08 - Comment #32741: I'm just the most bloggingest ruby programmer in Buffalo, I could give you a several names of better Ruby programmers then me lol.

mrdeadlier writes at 02:00:21 03/14/08 - Comment #32739: That's absurd. Aren't they aware that you are the premier Ruby developer in Buffalo, NY??!

Afternoon

Well just taking my afternoon tea here.

There's a new icon for estrip that I made and Paul was gracious enough to upload - if you've got an iPhone and you bookmark estrip onto your home screen it looks like this:

And also, I ordered one of these for work:

4gb of RAM, yay!

ZOMG MACWORLD

OK, so today is the day. 90 minutes away from the start of all the announcements. Apple does events like this just a couple times a year and I'm always way too overexcited.

New laptop? New DVR? New LCD's? Movie rentals? iPhone upgrades?

I am waiting with baited breath. Apple is my one consumerist urge, the rest of my life is fairly spartan and paired down, and at least I can comfort myself with the knowledge that the apple stuff I buy is mostly used for work. But still, I know I go overboard.

Happy Apple Day!

Gelato at Dolce's

I've been trying to email this photo up, but it disappears in to the aether. So I will post it like a normal person and then sign off for the night :)

We walked down the block to Dolce's with the dog. Our new place is so close to everything, there is so much more to walk to and see then at our old place near Hodge.

iphone keyboard

It's working pretty good but I wish when it made suggestions it would give a few options instead of one at a time.

I'm typing this post from it and haven't had to hit backspace once yet. For me it's a big step up, but Paul I'm sure you'd be frustrated by the non-802.11 wireless speeds. Not too bad though definitely usable.

There is no way to upload files through regular web pages which is pretty annoying. Have to email them or sync to get photos off.

All in all I love it. Those are my only complaints as far as basic functionality go.
