Apple Announces iFund Along with Their SDK: Update

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

I followed liveblogs of the iPhone SDK announcement today (thanks to TUAW and Engadget) just for fun, to see if any new social platforms would emerge or special Web 2.0 news would come out.
Was I the only one shocked with the closing of the media event? I should have known that Jobs had something up [...]

Is Something Hiding Behind Google Android?

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

Right from Google's initial launch of Android, I've been curious about what the overall plan was for the product. After all, Google sank an enormous amount of money into its development, and judging from the blogs of Java developers that I read, a pretty good amount of time as well. It seemed an awfully big [...]

iPhone Web Development May Lead To Unintended Consequences

Paul Glazowski

By now you've likely all heard plenty about the iPhone. Too much, even. Since the start of summer we’ve seen both the mainstream press and the blogosphere harp incessantly about Apple’s invention - its technological advantages, the seeming unrivaled grace with which it functions, or those specially-concocted websites and applications that have risen to public [...]

Recent Handy Developments On iPhone-Friendly Web App Front

Paul Glazowski

While it’s not at all fair that Apple’s iPhone (and the developments its release has spawned) are getting the overall bulk of the attention doled out to the smartie market these days, it’s certainly worth pointing out highlights that are piggybacking the multi-touch marvel’s success as they make their way into public view, if [...]

Rocketshotz - Easy Mobile Browsing

Phil Butler

I am not a cell phone guru, but if you don't have an iPhone (or even if you do) - Rocekshotz is a cool service that can help you approximate one for free. Rocketshotz sets up a user's favorite mobile sites and transfers them to their phone in an “iPhone-like start page”. The Atlanta company [...]

Google Docs Mobile Now Available, But Unfinished

Michael Garrett

Today, Google Blogoscoped has announced that the mobile version of Google Docs is now available to users of the online office suite.
Last month, it was discovered that there were mobile-designed pages available with a link leading to docs.google.com/m, but at the time the URL resulted in a 404 error.
The Google Help Center has posted that [...]

Apple Slated To Launch Web App Directory

Paul Glazowski

Update: Apple has launched its Web app directory.
This story’s still doing the rounds over at the proverbial rumor mill, but we all know it’s coming, so we thought we’d jump on the ol’ bandwagon as many others in Blog Land have already and bring you the news:
Apple’s gonna be launching a Web app directory! [...]

Apple And Starbucks Launch Free-Access WiFi Music Store - For Notebook Users, Too

Paul Glazowski

The Starbucks-iTunes Store joint venture announced early last month was met with applause when it was first revealed, and rightly so. The partnership ? apart from being first and foremost a moneymaking one for both corporations involved ? would make it oh-so-easy for folks to buy music over the Web when ?on the go.? [...]

Apple Reiterates The Benefits Of Web Development For The iPhone

Paul Glazowski

I’ll be really frank about this. The news last week surrounding the iPhone was…bad.
What was supposed to be one long stretch of public celebrations and glittering news, reviews, comments and the like, all heaping praise on a software update/upgrade that would install on the devices a mobile music store of quite elegant proportions, became a [...]
