We had a few minor things which didn't and weren't going to work or be as user friendly as we had hoped and this effected the visuals. the great guys working with me, over in India came up with a few re-designed visuals based on various feedbacks from ourselves and things are back on the boil again. This is kind of a step backwards, but long term a step forwards (if that makes any sense). The app is going to be designed with the exact purpose of being the best quick estimate app out there.
iPhone OS 4.0
I had a wee play with this on my son's iPhone 3g and I think some of the functionality is deactivated for whatever reason, perhaps the 3g doesn't get the full hit, but the 3Gs does? I haven't had chance to check this out more thoroughly. What I did check out looks very very cool, first of all the display at the bottom matches the desktop Mac OSX icons on a shiny glass shelf effect and looks real cool, second is the function of creating folders of apps on one screen, instead of having 20 screens to scroll through. this works by hovering one app over another and hey presto! you created a folder. Great for having a folder of apps for different people if it's a multi user ipod/phone and also great for organising those apps into fun and work and such like. Another great feature will be the apple player network (think xbox live or playstion network), so instead of lots of different user logins for multi online player games (think feint, connect+ and others) it is all done via the same servers and connections. This will be very cool and friends who play similar games can hook up whatever they are playing and hopefully you can switch game if it shows what your buddies are playing. I haven't installed os 4.0 because I want the 3Gs for testing our app when the next build is ready. 4.0 compatibility will be added in the latter stages.
If you are a developer and have access to 4.0, try it out, download it then install by alt clicking on the restore button on the home screen of itunes for your device...have fun!
