build one of the native iphone application arrived in my email and was a little rough around the edges but that's the whole point of the first build, to gauge a direction.
Build two arrived this morning and looks heaps better, and i can even get a real estimate out onto it, lovin it!
The speed these guys turned around build 1 to 2 is pretty good too, all we need now is to make it uber easy to use and a little slicker visually and we are hitting a home run!

iPhone 4.0, backend module, iPad and iPad 4th generation
First of all, it's been a busy old month or two with Apple products, new macbook pro's in the lineup, new iPad launched (selling half a million in week 1 and causing delays on international launch...in the UK we now have to wait until the end of May!!! they have also sold a couple million ebooks via itunes for the iPad...pretty good going).
Sticking with the iPad for a moment, I have a few questions, can it share my desktops printing? I want to print those beautiful photos on it, I want to print that website I found on it, this is important to me to make it a viable option to a netbook or smaller laptop. I need to know if I can buy the wifi iPad and tether from my 3gs to it, rather than paying two accounts for mobile data. I also want to know if I can play multiplayer wifi games on my ipad against my son on his iphone? These are things that would swing it for me.
Now, back to Apple....iPhone 4.0 software looks good, is it going to cause freezes and glitchiness, pausing and slowing down? sounds like a hungry OS for a phone, is it going to eat my RAM? it looks massively promising though and I look forward to it. The next big thing? the 4th generation iPhone is rumoured to be launching on June 22nd, as Apple have booked their usual venue for these things, on that date, this I really look forward to. my 3g contract is due renewal and the 3gs is no massive bump up IMHO.
So...back to our app...we now have to ensure 4.0 compatibility as well as 3g and 3gs compatibility, but no testing on the first gen phone will take place, at least i dont think so, either way, it has no 3g connection and this would make for slow data transfers.
Our backend admin module is complete, has a few glitches and should be done soon. The next big thing to test is the native iPhone application itself, on a beta phone and using the iPhone emulator that apple kindly supply when you register and download the SDK.
I look forward to my next post being something that answers thoseipad Q's and maybe states something about the OS 4.0 and rumoured 4th gen phone...let's wait and see!
