Turning Ideas Into iPhone Applications  →
Raven, talks about the growing need for iPhone Developers… The demand for iPhone developers exceeds the supply and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. The going rate for iPhone developers, at least the developers I know and trust, is $125/hour and up. I have some friends who are booked out at $200/hour for the next few months, although $125/hour seems to be the going rate in my...

Widget Summit: iPhone Developer Panel I popped over to speak on this awesome panel while at Mobile 2.0. I’m sitting behind the podium for the entire session, making think I should start a career as a masked pundit: heard but never seen ;)

I'm Writing a Book →
I’m writing a book for O’Reilly currently titled Mobile Design & Development. (I believe it will be O’Reilly’s first printed mobile book.) It is an exciting and scary endeavor. I plan to post my progress here: http://mobiledesign.org/book/ as well as use Twitter to solicit input and feedback from the community.

What I don't get about Fringe
I’ve been catching up on Fringe. I like it. It is a good show with a lot of promise. I like that it feels like an homage to the X-Files, but is attempting to find its own way. But there are a few things about the show that drive me nuts. Why does everything happen in Boston? It seems like all the “Pattern” events are centered in or around the Boston area. Even when they start...

Intersquash Allows you to turn your website RSS feed into an iPhone Web App in minutes. This is something Garrett and I discussed doing for Leaflets 2.0 but decided against it (at least for now). While I love the idea, as RSS is a great basis for a quick iPhone Web App (and how we built Leaflets), I’m not keen on using iUI to mimic the iPhone UI. If you want to build and host your own...

Frustration-Free Packaging →
Any parent can tell you that modern toy packaging is incredibly frustrating. The manufacturer goes to great lengths to display as much of the product on the store shelf, but that means 10-15 of cutting intricate packaging to get to the good stuff. Not only is it frustrating for both parent and child, it is also incredibly wasteful, using materials that can’t be recycled and take up a lot...
