News, Info and Resources for iOS & OS X Users.
I mean, why? Do you think there are iPhone users out there who actually would want to run Android on their iPhone? I don’t.
It’s an impressive feat, from an engineering angle. But from a “is this a good use of my time” angle, I’d have to say no.

We put ourselves out there like cheap whores, and nobody is biting.
We’re fucked.

OK, so anyone with half a brain can figure out that Transmit is about to receive a major update. I’m not saying I know anything about said update, but if I did, I’d probably tell you that it not only updates one of the most beloved FTP apps for the Mac platform, but it also catapults it over the heads of the competition.
At any rate, we’ll all find out in 7 days time.

OK, I’ll accept that this is “Apple’s next iPhone”.
However, I’d like to know if Apple had the ability to remote wipe the device, they also should have had the capability to remotely locate the device with Mobile Me’s “Find My iPhone” feature. The question is, why didn’t they?
For Apple’s sake, I hope this is the real deal. Or at least, I hope the feature set of this prototype represents the final shipping product. Otherwise, there are going to be lots of disappointed iPhone fanatics if the final product doesn’t include front facing cameras or a built in Flash.

Look through this slide presentation (which itself uses HTML5) to see what comprises HTML5 and how it can be used.

Twitter will soon be adding paid results to your Twitter stream. First in search results, and later, in everyone’s Twitter feed. Seems to me that this effectively reduces the ability for Twitter client developers to make money by inserting their own ads in the Twitter feed. Couple this with Twitter’s recent purchases of desktop and mobile client Twitter clients, and it is suddenly not a great time to be depending upon Twitter clients for revenue.

Stuff like this scares me in general. I mean, serving up a different version of your site for 3.5″ mobile device makes sense. But the iPad is designed to be a great web device, and shouldn’t dictate a separate web site, optimized for the iPad be served up. There are exceptions of course, but the last thing we need is a more fragmented web.

We’re not giving out the actual numbers, but I will tell you this, and I think this is very cool. The iPad app, within five days, made us more money than the iPhone app has in its existence over the last six months or something.

Looks like a great way to manage your MailChimp campaigns on the go. MailChimp’s web interface is stellar, and the iPhone app looks equally impressive.
