What if there is no Apple Tablet?
A few recent articles on various rumors sites made me think that in late January we may very well not see any Apple iSlate tablet-sized iPod-Touch-like or Mac-like device.
It is very likely that a new iPhone SDK will be introduced, and that this will allow iPhone Apps to support different screen resolutions. It is very likely that a 10-11″ OLED/LCD display based product will be introduced, but…
PHP Mailer with Email Attachments that supports Mac OS X’s Mail
We needed a server-side script recently to send emails with attachments from an iPhone App. We’ve chosen PHP because we wanted to keep it as simple as possible (we wanted no dependencies).
The emails sent (and attachments) looked good in a few email systems, until we checked with Mac Mail. Check the image at the left to see how it was displayed. Read on to learn how to solve this issue and see the full code for the script!
How to build a 3D tag cloud on iPhone — challenges and solutions
Since the iPhone tocuhscreen is quite small and has great support for interactivity a 3D tag cloud looks an ideal choice for an iPhone application user interface. Neither iPhone SDK classes nor 3rd party libraries have 3D tag cloud classes, at least no libraries I heard of, so I implemented it from scratch.
You can see the final result in the Toneaphone Ringtones iPhone App we developed last year.
Mobile Apps cross-platform development challenge: PhoneGap vs. Titanium vs. Rhodes
What is the best cross-platform mobile framework out there?
Let’s take a look at the main three competitors.
First of all, cross-platform compatibility is all about compromising on the native look, feel and features of devices. Therefore, if you’re looking into creating a 3D game or an interactive, multimedia, animated app, you’re looking in the wrong direction.
PhoneGap, Titanium and Rhodes are all based on web technologies and are aimed at web developers that want to leverage their current skills set to the mobile apps world.
We’re hiring! Ruby on Rails/Rhodes developer
Offshore software developer position using Ruby on Rails and web technologies to build web applications for desktop browsers and targeting mobile devices. Also using Rhomobile to make native mobile applications.
Candidate should be a remote worker, must use an Intel Mac running OSX 10.5 or 10.6, should have strong communications skills, good written and spoken English. Availability on IM or Skype required during work hours.
AT&T plans for 2010: Android and Palm OS devices, App Store for non-smartphones
AT&T plans to launch its first five Android-based handsets in the first half of 2010, two WebOS devices, and a new mobile application platform for non-smartphones.
The devices include a Motorola smartphone powered by MOTOBLUR, its social networking software; Dell’s first smartphone, the Mini 3 — an AT&T exclusive; and a new HTC handset also exclusive to AT&T.
Palm announced it will release two new WebOS-based handsets on the Verizon Wireless network on Jan. 25: the Pre Plus and the Pixi Plus.
iPhone synch: manually manage music, videos and ringtones
Ringtones in the iPhone are treated like Music and Videos. So if you want to manually manage the music and the movies you keep on your iPhone, while keeping synchronized all your ringtones… you can’t.
Google Nexus One: what Motorola Droid should have been
Jason Chen of Gizmodo tried the Google Nexus One thanks to an anonymous source. As a result, new photos and a hands-on video surfaced.
Chen said “You can call the design the antithesis of the Droid: smooth, curved, and light, instead of hard, square and pointy,” he said. “It feels long and silky and natural in your hand — even more so than the iPhone 3GS.”
Apple to unveil the “iSlate” Tablet on January 26 asked developers to get their iPhone Apps ready
Apple has scheduled a media event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on Tuesday Jan. 26, 2010, for a major product announcement. “Apple is preparing an announcement next month that many anticipate will be the official unveiling of its tablet, but the company has so far declined to confirm the existence of the device,” the Financial Times reported. “Wall Street analysts expect mass production of an Apple tablet to begin as early as February.”
The most likely name is “iSlate”, a trademark currently owned by a possible shell company set up by Apple to quietly obtain U.S. trademark protection for the name.
“Apple is preparing to show off a new, larger mobile device with a higher resolution display in January — probably a version of the Apple tablet we’ve been hearing about for months — according to a plugged-in source in the mobile industry,” Silicon Alley Insider reported Wednesday…
