Nokia + Microsoft - My Thoughts
Having read the news that Nokia and Microsoft have entered into a partnership into the smart-phone market, I thought I'd offer my 2c.
First off - I'd like to address the skeptics comment that this event clearly shows that Nokia's "in-house" development of an operating system for smart-phones was a "…
iPhone vs. Android Development
Just a quick post based on some cursory examination on my part comparing the initial steps to even starting development of apps between iPhone and Android. This is based on the "average" developer - "average" being defined as those who have a Windows or Linux PC, and are familiar with one of the mos…
Smartphones - Let's Hope The Tide is Turning
According to industry research firm NPD, Android phones have begin to outsell iPhones. To be honest, this is super news. As a developer looking into mobile app work, having the freedom to develop and run my custom applications as I see fit, which both Android and Blackberry allow, is of paramount im…
Adobe Lays the Smackdown on Apple
I am so pleased with Adobe's response to Steve Jobs' letter where he thought he would try to B.S. his way out of the Flash question.
It's good to see that others came to some of the same conclusions as I did - particularly the issue of Flash supposedly crashing Macs. Looks like that argument back-fi…
Apple Alienating I.T. Companies
I'm not fan of Flash - anyone who knows me would attest to that. However, I will admit that it has it's place in the world. I do enjoy my little Flash games, as to millions of others.
Apparently, Apple doesn't give a toss.
First they slagged off Java (funny position, since their CPU for the iPhone w…
Apple Goes Further - Where Will It End?
Where will Apple's greed and disdain for developers end? probably never so long as brain-dead consumers keep gobbling up their rubbish trinkets.
I recently had an argument with a self-professed "developer" who didn't see how I could hold the opinion that Apple was unfriendly towards developers. Well…
The Exodus Begins
Slashdot has a story about how many high profile developers have begin moving away from the iPhone. I've warned of iPhone's problems before, been accused of being "jealous of Steve Jobs", and all sorts of other idiotic responses. Well, now all you Jobs-o-philes can be silent. I'm not alone in my dis…
App Store a "Crapshoot" - And Still They Come
When an Apple "poster boy" (Steve Demeter) comes out saying Apple's App Store is "kind of a crapshoot", then there's a fairly clear indication of something seriously wrong. I've maintained this all the time - Apple's rules are peculiar and are enforced inconsistently.
This is the "Windows Syndrome" …
More Apple iPhone Stupidity
Why I Won't Ever Have or Support iPhone
As anyone with eyes and ears knows by now, iPhone is becoming all the rage. Yet there are some of us who refuse to get caught up in the hype. So that is the problem?
Well, for me, it's a case of being locked in. iPhone offers 2 ways of developing application - HTML 2.0 or Objective-C. The first choi…
If Microsoft Got In Trouble, So Should Apple
Before I begin this blog entry, let me say categorically that I have no love for Palm. They squandered their market lead in the PDA field, and wasted the talent they bought then they purchased Be.
I read this article today, and it brought me back to when companies started claiming that Microsoft use…
