The time has come - to sell your iPhone development business on eBay. For a paltry $100,000 (US dollars, mind you), you too can own a total of 87 apps, which includes two months of technical support for the transition. File this one under "bizzare".Will Apple make a iPhone that is Verizon-compatible (that is, CDMA as well as 3G)? With Qualcomm's hybrid CDMA/3G chip, it's definitely within the realms of possibility. Shame Telstra already shut down that particular CDMA love in Australia, hey?
Secrets is an awesome preference pane for OSX that allows you to tweak a veritable plethora of options, settings, and variables - all without having to touch the command line. It's recently been updated for Snow Leopard, so if you want to know how to get QuickTime X to autoplay movies on launch - now's your chance!
A couple of days ago there was a kerfuffle on Twitter about a certain App Store title that hadn't made the cut - all due to the fact that it had the word "iPhone" in the title. Seems like Apple have decided to grant this one this time around, because Macworld's iPhone Superguide is now available in the App Store.
Has Javascript gotten to the point where it could potentially displace Flash? InfoWorld seem to think so, and you know what? I'm tempted to agree with them - however, I still think that it's far easier to create animations in Flash than it is in Javascript.
There seems to be a new genre of games occurring primarily on the iPhone, and for want of a better name I'll term them "abstract puzzlers" - games which involve some wishy-washy gameplay method (slide, manuevre, prod, shake) coupled with a loose goal (hit the target, get a high score). Here's an example of one such game - the gameplay mechanics in this one are so unique that even Touch Arcade had difficulty describing them.
If you're the kind to redeem lots of promo codes, then Slide to Play suggests a super-secret URL scheme that allows you to bypass the proverbial "click redeem, type in code into iTunes" cacophony that you'd usually have to endure. No word if this works with all codes that can be redeemed (that is, iTunes Music Store voucher codes as well as iPhone app codes), but I'm sure one lovely person would be willing to try this out, no?
Similar to the Photoshop app for the iPhone (only available in the US iTunes Store, it seems), Adobe has now released a Photoshop app for Android. Take that, Palm!
Apple back HTML, and AppleInsider tell us why.
iTunes cards are on special again, and with that comes the news that JB Hi-Fi are the world's largest seller of iTunes cards. Surprised? No, neither was I...
