Return of FAIL with iTunes9 long sync times

Posted on September 11, 2009 | No Comments
I do not like iTunes. Never did. When I first got the iphone, I would avoid sync as much as possible because of the long sync times. After while, and with iTunes8, things got better. It would not lock up, and I would have a full sync in around 2-3...

Commodore 64 for the iphone is pulled. Now you c64, now you dont

Posted on September 8, 2009 | No Comments
Fehh.. Really. This is getting old. I do understand Apples position, they said they did not want an app that can run bitcode. Fine. But BASIC? I mean really.. What the heck are you going to write? I used to program in BASIC on my C64 and trash80′s, really, there...

Realtime GPS updates via the iPhone using Loopt. Kinda.. and for a price

Posted on September 4, 2009 | No Comments
I’ve been thinking about writing a post on how silly is to get AT&T’s GPS driving directions app/service at 9.99 a month when you can buy a turn-by-turn apps for around $50. That’s another post. But now I just read on AppleInsider that Loopt has an agreement with AT&T to...

Apple kicks Google Voice out of the iPhone bed.

Posted on July 28, 2009 | 2 Comments
It never seems to end… Apple rejected Google Voice and removed GV Mobile from the app store. This is really a pain because I JUST got a work blackberry and will need to start managing my communication a little better. Being able to do that from my iPhone would be...

Having lockup problems with intelliscreen and push notifications? Me too

Posted on July 21, 2009 | 1 Comment
It seems intelliscreen can lockup if you get a push calendar notification as from exchange if you have unread email. The problem is when you get an alert, intelliscreen will ‘flip up’ so show the alert and a button to dismiss it. However, if you have unread email, you cannot...

Strike 1 on the Palm – Community FAIL

Posted on May 22, 2009 | No Comments
I cannot believe, given how far we have come in social media and community involvement that Palm fails to recognize the value of a strong ‘PRO PALM’ community. From Scott via slashdot “… The preDevCamp started as a community-driven effort designed to mirror the iPhoneDevCamp based on the new “Pre”...

YouTube fail on the iphone getting fixed.. slowly

Posted on February 27, 2009 | No Comments
First off, I’m really surprised not more people raised a stink about this. When I checked the boards and twitter, it was clear it was on many phones, but either few people seemed to care or the word got out to go through the web interface to play movies. Perhaps...

Youtube on the iphone is not working..

Posted on February 23, 2009 | No Comments
This is odd. Around 1:30am pst (Feb 23 ’09), movies on youtube have stopped working. As if there was a glitch that has all flash flv being selected instead of the h.264 codec coming up. I did a quick check on twitter and seems others are having the same issue. ...
