another build, more UDID's and iPhone 4 keynote

Another Build;
the guys sent me over another build and things are looking real neat and tidy, slick and very intuitive.  I can't thank these guys enough, if you need a team to work with on an application or even a web application they are pretty fast, responsive and have heaps of creativity and initiative.  The app is almost 100% fully functional, a few minor kinks and things to iron out.  Adding estimates is a whizz and adding to estimates is a whizz too.  With this in mind we are adding UDID (the unique identifier number each device has) to our provisioning portal, a developer is allowed 99 devices for a larger group of testers and we have about 10 so far and adding more as we go.  Now that the free version of the app isreaching final stages we want to expand the test group and put the thing out in the field for live testing very soon,

iPhone 4 Keynote
what a great keynote by Steve jobs and what excellent steps forward the 4th phone is taking.  The thing I love about Apple is that they are putting the millions back into the company to move design, engineering and creativity forwards in software and hardware, something you never saw Microsoft do to the same extreme (they had bad OS after bad OS in the late nineties).  Even the iOS itself (branded so that it canapply to phone and pad alike) is leaping forwards and really making the wannabe copy iPhones on the market look like a shim sham effort.  The screen and the Apple made chip are the big news to me (i've had a test OS4 for a while now) but in conjunction with the materials it is made with and what's under the hood AND the OS, this is really the package to beat. It has been the package to beat for 3 years now and they just raised the bar in a big big way!
