Responding to criticism of criticism of Tweetie 2.0

September 29, 2009

Patrick Jordan of Just Another iPhone Blog is responding to criticism over his not agreeing with $3 upgrade price for Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone:

I have just said that there should be a full price and a lower  ‘upgrade price’ for current users.  Or more accurately, because Apple does not make it possible to do things [...]

NetNewsWire 2.0 for iPhone released

September 23, 2009

Newsgator has released NetNewsWire 2.0 for the iPhone, which now syncs with Google Reader, just like its desktop coounterpart. It also sports a new icon, itself an improvement over the 1.0 version.

In truth, I was not a fan of the first incarnation of NNW for the iPhone. It was slow to sync, which made it [...]

160GB Apple TV gets price drop; 40GB model is killed

September 14, 2009

I love my AppleTV, so I’m rooting for Apple to upgrade the device with new options, such as access to Netflix and Hulu. Of course, these things are doubtful. That doesn’t mean they can’t offer some worthwhile upgrades.

Until then, I just hope they don’t discontinue it. So today’s news of price drops for 160GB models [...]

New in iTunes 9: Sync libraries with multiple computers

September 9, 2009

For me, the most exciting announcement from today’s Apple event was the introduction of Home Sharing:

Home Sharing brings iTunes synchronization to a home level. Up to now, it hasn’t been easy to synchronize iTunes between multiple computers without the use of scripts or third-party applications. Now up to five authorized computers in your house can [...]

Flickr iPhone app goes live

September 8, 2009

I just downloaded the Flickr iPhone app (iTunes link), but I haven’t tested it. It looks great, and the feature set described is near perfect. To boot, it is free.

I’ll save passing judgement until later, but at least one early review is not glowing, that from John Gruber of Daring Fireball.

But man, is this app [...]

Gruber on Microsoft’s decline

July 31, 2009

A rather long read from John Gruber at Daring Fireball on Microsoft’s Long, Slow Decline.

They’re a software company whose primary platform no longer appeals to people who like computers the most. Their executives are either in denial of, or do not perceive, that there has emerged a consensus — not just among nerds but among [...]

Steven Frank leaves iPhone OS platform

July 31, 2009

Panic developer Steven Frank is mad as hell, and he ain’t taking it anymore:

There’s been no indication that Apple want to do anything to resolve the problems with app store policies that have been laid bare a hundred times over. There’s no indication of anything, as a matter of fact. Nothing. After a year. It’s [...]

Pogue on cell phone gripes and Congress

July 23, 2009

David Pogue of the NY Times has a few “Cellphone Gripes Worthy of Congress’s Time”:

Above all, though, you’ve got to wonder why, if Congress has time for things like cellphone gripes, it’s barking up this particular tree. Frankly, there are many other, much more whopping things that are broken, unfair and anticompetitive in the [...]
