This week I got some quality time with the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad SDK – ok so iOS… but the iPhone and the iPad are so far apart until November at the earliest it’s not worth thinking of them as the same… yet.
- I watched the Steve Jobs presentation of the new iPods – it’s available over on the Apple Site. I have to say that, Steve didn’t seem that excited on stage this time. I mean, yes the iPod Shuffle… meh. The iPod Nano… really!? In fact my wife loves watching videos on her Nano on the tube and specifically doesn’t want a touch… The Touch… well, that was an interesting update. It’s bought it back in sync with the iPhone 4.
- The iPad 4.2 update was announced – for November. It was supposed to happen in 4.1. Turns out too many people went on vacation over the summer and the project slipped!
- Now, my own stuff. Pushed an update for my Tube Notify app to Apple for approval. The last version had a slight bug in it where people who were installing it on new devices, wouldn’t of registered for push notifications. I also added support for Mutlitasking so it doesn’t behave stupidly and refreshes items on coming intro the foreground.
- Started implementing CoreData and StoreKit into the Tube Notify app – why!? Well, you’ll have to wait and see.
- On a side note, managed to do Reverse Tethering with my Android phone using bluetooth. That is, I used PAN from the phone to use my laptops wifi connection then used tethering on the phone. Why? Who knows – was fun to do though!
That’s it for this week – not many items… but again – it is summer!
