iPhone apps S/D

I want to develop Windows Mobile applications on my Mac and I want to do something useful for end users on Linux. Never gonna happen.

I am one of you, iPhonerz

Someone invented the Virtual Mac for Windows by now, right? I mean, how much of a Mac do you need to use the iPhone App SDK?

obv joeks about "virtual mac on windows" go there -------> .

what VoIP app do you guys use? Truphone and Fring are often mentionned - which one do you recommend?

trying to wrap my head around why jott is considered a useful app. i mean, OK, i can jott notes to myself. but w/o copy and paste i can't jott them into anything useful on the iphone, like omnifocus or notes or email. i can basically just use it to jott stuff down that i can access when i get to my computer and then sort from there? why not just use a simple voice recorder?

truphone works for me

i think you can get jott to email your jotts to you?

yeah but w/o c+p i can't get them from mail to another app.

i mean, sure i can go home and use jott express on my desktop to sort things into different apps but that just adds work!.

We get copy/paste tomorrow!

3.0 looks totally awesome.

Big fan of Spotlight; C&P looks a bit clunky.

it looks a bit clunky but I don't need to use it enough anyway.

Push in the API is sooooo overdue. Same with Landscape.

And now, if the fuckers at AT&T would just release the Microcell...

this is beta only still, right? it wasn't really released today and it sounds like everything was pretty buggy.

about time on all that shit

Damn. I got excited that my life was going to change today. Now I have to wait til summer? At least they seem to be addressing the major issues people have requested.

people getting excited about c/p and a search function?

welcome to life ON IPHONE

Hahah, so true. Still, nice to finally see.

anyone got this one?

Ha, I was just going to post the Baby Shaker video.

"app" has officially become my current most hated phrase

BTW, I am on my 5th iPhone now. Thank you Applecare.

The first one crapped out internally and locked up irrevocably.

The second one, the mute button physically fell off.

The third was only mine for a day because they accidentally gave me an 8 gig instead of a 16.

The next day it was replaced by a 16 gig phone with a bad ear speaker.

This fifth one is just a dreamboat though.

I'd like to give a shout out to my new faveorite app - Polarize (ie turns your pix into polaroids)

^ Like the sound of that. Downloading.

Simplify Media is now on version 2.0, and cheekily they've released it as a separate app, so if you were in on the original early enough to get it for free, you still need to fork out for an upgraded (ie working) version. On the plus side, it does work perfectly now, even with huge media collections.

Funny, I just un-synced Simplify from my phone last night. I never used the thing; it didn't talk to Last.fm; fuck it, really.

It talks to last.fm now. But I guess it's only really useful if you've got an always on/always connected machine at home to host the music for you. Which I didn't have until recently, but do have now.

Been using the TVersity app so far - but it always fails when attempting to play AVIs so might try sth else

Do I really need to spend a gazillion dollars on a new Mac to be able to write my own iPhone apps?

Any intel Mac will do, even a mac mini, but yes.

(Some ppl have managed it on PPC, but it's super-shaky, doesn't work with 3.0 and codesigning is hard enough on intel as it is)

this appulous page is some shit http://appulo.us/appdb/?page=about
thanks, pirates, from saving us from an "epidemic of people not buying apps"

Have just got iCab Mobile for the phone. Better features than safari, definitely.

WTF? And, er, aren't half the apps on that page free anyway?

Peggle rocks on this thing!

Shush. I've already bought Peggle on PC, and on classic ipod, and on Xbox Live Arcade. I can't let myself buy it again ON IPHONE.

I've not played it on the classic ipod but I imagine the dial is great for this.

It feels great to spin the wheel on the touch screen AND it's $5. I too bought it on XBLA but not the other platforms.

Apparently Myst is now available on the iPhone. In its entirety. And I'm off on holiday next week. Awesome.

Myst for the Nintendo DS got shitty reviews due to bug and it looks like the iPhone version is having the same problem.

Never looked at this thread. Got a Touch today.

Really? Hmm: the reviews on the app store I saw seemed to suggest it was awesome/best thing ever/etc (admittedly that was a cursory glance, but still).

It's 750MB! fuckin hell

I knew that extra 8GB would come in handy some time!

Zen Bound, anyone? It was recommended by a colleague ... you, umm, wrap bits of wood in string. It's meant to be relaxing and I can see how it might be ... took me a few not-very-relaxing moments to get the hang of the controls, mind you.

zen bound is lovely (and most expensive app i've bought)

i spent AAAAAges looking for something that did streaming radio properly (without relying on built in libraries of streams). Solution: fstream http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=289892007&mt=8

anyone bought the paid-for twitterfon?

I'm kind of astonished by how good Zen Bound's physics are. Looking forward to tooling about with it a bit more this week. I'm just installing Myst now, too :)

I like Tweetie better that Twitterfon. Haven't tried the new Twitterific.

It's lovely. Pisses all over the desktop version now, too.

Zen bound is great to begin with, but after the first couple of hours the objects it starts throwing at you stop being fun and instead become fucking irritating.

I'm really not sure about it, TBH. It's not as satisfying as I want it to be. Although oddly compelling all the same.

tweetie ROCKS.

i also installed lexulous on my iphone. hurrah!

does that find all your tinniest mp3s and play them loudly when it can tell you're on the top deck of a bus?
