Quicker tweets with qTweeter
agosto 22nd, 2009
Filed under: iPhone, iPod touch, Jailbreak/pwnage, App Review
There's no shortage of Twitter apps in the App Store. Even more surprising is the number of GOOD apps that connect to the popular microblogging platform. I like each for a different reason: Tweetie has a clean user interface, TweetDeck offers multiple columns that sync with its desktop counterpart, and TwitterFon has ReadItLater integration. There are countless others that have unique features, and many of us end up with at least a couple on our iDevices.But I have a new favorite, qTweeter, developed by the folks at Efiko Software. You won't find it in the App Store, though, because this app requires a jailbroken device. Multitasking isn't officially allowed (yet?) on the iPhone OS, yet qTweeter relies on this capability to perform its best trick.
Say you're checking the weather and want to tell everyone of the approaching hurricane. Normally, you would close your weather application, swipe through pages of apps, tap on and wait for your favorite Twitter client to open and load all of the tweets that you really don't care about right now, and finally type your warning to get the heck out of town. By the time you do all of that, the highway is going to be grid-locked with fleeing residents and you'll be stuck boarding up windows and sweeping up the debris!
Instead, you could have just "pulled" qTweeter down from the status bar, typed your tweet, and went back to the app still running in the background.
In fact, per the recent trend, you could have also posted that same message to your Facebook status with just a tap of a checkbox. It's a much quicker way to get your message out of your head and onto the Net, a fact that you'll appreciate as you get older and those thoughts become more fleeting.

40 revisori e 8500 applicazioni alla settimana
agosto 22nd, 2009
Ormai si è capito che uno dei grandi successi Apple è proprio l’AppStore, tanto che anche le altre case hanno deciso di creare uno Store per i loro terminali, vedi ad esempio OviStore e Marketplace.
Essere un “revisore di applicazioni” deve essere un duro lavoro da svolgere: verifare se l’app funziona bene, se ha dei bug, se va in conflitto con altre applicazioni di default installate nell’iPhone, se segue il regolamento, e così via.
CNET’s Erica Ogg ha determinato che 40 persone, riescono a verificare fino a 8500 applicazioni alla settimana. Naturalmente per settimana si intendono 5 giorni lavorativi. Quindi, tramite un breve calcolo, si evince che ogni esaminatore dedica, in media, 6 minuti ad ogni applicazione.

agosto 22nd, 2009
A distanza di poche ore dal rilascio della precedente release, Saurik ha reso disponibile un nuovo aggiornamento per il Mobile Substrate che arriva così alla versione 0.9.3005-1. Molto probabilmente, questo update risolve i problemi che alcuni utenti hanno riscontrato dopo l’installazione della precedente versione.
Non ci sono altri cambiamenti da segnalare ma l’update è sempre e comunque consigliato. Per farlo vi basta aprire Cydia, spostarvi nel tab Changes ed eseguire l’operazione.

Notify keeps an eye on your Gmail inbox
agosto 22nd, 2009
Filed under: Software, Freeware, First Look
I, like many people, am constantly checking my email. No matter where I am, I'm either getting messages pushed to my iPhone or Mail is checking for new ones every minute. A new app is promising to make using Gmail and checking for messages much, much easier.
Notify, a new free application by Vibealicious Apps, puts a small button in your menubar of your Mac that keeps track of unread messages. The app, which was released less than 24 hours ago has already received over 3200 downloads and is quickly making a name for itself. Notify's developers consider it "like a menubar app, but better" explaining that the application boasts a much better user interface and much more functionality than traditionally found in menubar apps and buttons.
The application has a lot of cool features including:
- Support for multiple accounts
- Tabbed interface
- Growl integration
- Sleek, simple UI
The app is also promised to be "freeware forever", according to the developer's twitter.
Some shots of Notify in action:

ATT and Google Respond to FCC Enquiry
agosto 22nd, 2009
In addition to Apple answering the FCC’s questions regarding the supposed rejection of Google Voice apps from the iPhone app store.
In Apple’s response the company said that it has not rejected the official Google Voice app but “continues to study it”. Apple’s main concerns lie with how the app contrasts with “the iPhone’s distinctive user experience” and “disables Apple’s Visual Voicemail.”
AT&T’s (below) response clearly states that the official iPhone carrier had no role in Apple’s consideration of Google Voice or related applications. The Apple and AT&T deal prohibits the operation of VoIP calls on AT&T’s network, but AT&T plans to “take a fresh look” at authorizing VoIP apps that run on 3G.
Google’s response is strange completely redacted as seen below.

Palm realizza una pubblicità in stile iPhone!
agosto 22nd, 2009
Questo spot vi ricorda qualcosa? Penso proprio di si! Dopo che il primo spot pubblicitario del Palm Pre è stato definito “orrendo”, l’azienda ha pensato bene di “rifarsi” realizzando un filmato ispirato ad uno spot che, invece, ha avuto molto successo. Stiamo parlando ovviamente di quello dell’iPhone.
Sfondo bianco, musica di sottofondo e voce guida che spiega le funzionalità del dispositivo: tutti elementi appartenenti a quello che è lo stile di Apple. Secondo voi, questo “nuovo ed originale” spot sarà in grado di far crescere il successo del Palm Pre?

C-Mac shuts down: You may now switch off your Macintosh safely
agosto 22nd, 2009
Filed under: TUAW Business
After nearly two years of blogging (see my first post), tweeting and talkcasting for TUAW and Download Squad, I'm moving on to other things. Writing for TUAW has been a true privilege and I will be forever grateful for the experience, the opportunities, and most importantly the people that have come my way as a result of this job.
I was going to try to be funny with this post, drawing allusions to Brenda leaving Beverly Hills or Catherine leaving WNYX, but in the end, schmaltz and sappiness won out.
I want to thank every member of the TUAW team (past and present) for being such awesome colleagues and always offering up fantastic insights, suggestions, humor and love. Your commitment and dedication is what makes TUAW TUAW. Thank you for letting me join your world. To Michael Rose and Dave Caolo -- thank you for being such awesome lead bloggers for being so supportive. Victor Agreda -- thank you for being such a fantastic producer and for fighting to hire me in the first place.
To the TUAW readers (and Talkcast listeners), thank you for reading and chatting with me over the years. As Steve Sande has often commented, the TUAW readers and commenters are some of the best around. You guys are sharp, witty and knowledgeable about so much more than just the Apple-sphere. When we get something wrong or miss something cool, you let us know and I sincerely thank you for that.
Two years ago (today -- freaky), Scott Mcnulty posted a "we're hiring" notice for TUAW. As a longtime reader (even before I went Mac full-time), I applied, thinking that it might be something cool I could do while finishing school. This opportunity has been so much more than that.
If you want to keep up with what I'm doing, you can check out my personal site, follow me on Twitter or listen to me talk movies. I might be leaving TUAW, but the rest of the Internet won't get off that easily!
Thank you.
