How to Make an iPhone App

While searching the phrase "How to Make an iPhone App" on Google, I stumbled upon "MyPhoneRiches" by Charlie Parker and found the product to be so good that I wanted to pass it on to my readers. The eBook discusses the iPhone App business (creating, selling and marketing), and it demystifies the process of creating an app and getting it listed in the Apple iTunes Store.

iPhone Cracks May Activate Replacement Warranty

Does your iPhone have hairline cracks in the plastic body?

Lots of iPhone users have reported seeing hairline type cracks in the plastic bodies of their Apple iPhones. Often described as “hairline fractures,” these little defects usually appear around the iPhone’s ports and buttons, but they have been reported to appear in other places as well.

While it is unlikely that a Mac Genius will replace your iPhone if has been obviously dropped or mistreated, you should still consider taking it in for replacement. These hairline cracks are a documented defect and Apple has been known to replace iPhones because of the problem.

Q. How can I get the photos that I take with my iPhone to my computer without emailing them?

My iPhone Wishlist... A Nintendo Wii Controller

2009-02-11T14:39:00.000-08:00

Are you looking for some new "techie" ways to shed those unwanted pounds?

I know this is an iPhone and Android blog and I promise we'll get to that in just a minute. I need to divert to the Nintendo Wii for just a moment though because it rocks in the exercise department and it actually ties in with my iPhone wishlist.

I just got my first Wii for Christmas and I'm addicted to their fitness games! I'm working out (well, er... playing games) constantly on this thing and I cannot get over how easy it is to exercise when you're using this type of technology. My friend at the daily planet turned me on to snowboarding ala Wii - very cool because we don't do a lot of snow boarding here in Honolulu. She even brags about her Wii fitness routine.

Now the iPhone developers have developed a pretty slick little exercise app too called StepTrak Lite. It's a free pedometer app that is unbelievably accurate on my afternoon walks. In any case, Step Track lite is excellent and well worth downloading. In fact, it is currently the #1 app in the health and fitness category.

So here we have these two technology giants, Nintendo Wii and the Apple iPhone, and both are revolutionizing the way we interact with the world around us. My iPhone is a phone, an iPod, and an Internet Browser all in one unit.

Which leads me back to my iPhone wishlish...

I wish my iPhone could serve as my Nintendo Wii controller!

That way I could use the iPhone pedometer on my afternoon walks to my friend Malena's house. Then I could use it as my iPhone Nintendo Wii controller and go snowboarding with her. Then I could switch back to my pedometer app and walk back home again.

Wouldn't that be cool?

Testing Your Hearing with the Apple iPhone

2009-02-07T12:21:00.000-08:00

From the "what will they think of next" department, Bina’s Audiometry is an amazingly accurate hearing test app for your iPhone.

Measuring your threshold of hearing for sounds of different frequencies, you can use it to find out the frequency range you can hear. According to the developer, most people should be able to hear up to around 15 kHz, and in general frequencies around 17 kHz and higher can usually heard only be heard by people under 20.

Audiometry is an effective hearing test that measures your threshold of hearing for sounds of different frequencies - find out just how far your ears can hear ranging frequencies.

App is $0.99 in AppStore

Question.... Is the iPhone 3G Too Expensive at $199?

2009-01-27T18:05:00.000-08:00

When Apple launched the iPhone 3G, they dropped the price on the 8GB model to what I felt was a very reasonable $199. Many folks complained that the price should be cheaper however, suggesting $99 or perhaps even free with a carrier subsidy.

Interestingly enough, it's not just the consumer that is suggesting the price needs an adjustment. Research by Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty indicates that iPhone sales were half as strong in September and October when compared to July and August. To increase sales, Huberty has stated that Apple should take heed to the current rumors and cut the price in half to $100. She believes that this strategy could double iPhone sales without any negative effect on profits because of the data subsidy from AT&T.

So what do you think? Is the $199 iPhone still too expensive? What price is fair and attractive?

Review of the Twitter Tweetie App for the iPhone 3G

2009-01-03T19:55:00.000-08:00

If you use Twitter, Tweetie is a really useful Twitter app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This app has all the features that active Twitter users need with a super clean interface. There’s not much lacking in this iPhone App, and I believe it's worth every penny of it's $2.99 pricetag.

Sign in with one of your Twitter accounts when you start up the app. I say "one of your Twitter accounts" because this app allows for you to register multiple accounts.After logging in, there are four main buttons (Tweets, Replies, Messages, and Favorites) and a more button for you to delve through. In More you’ll find My Profile, Following, Followers, Trends, and Search.

Google Employees to Receive Google G1 Phones for Christmas Bonuses

2008-12-23T14:19:00.000-08:00

Is Google feeling the cash pinch too?

I just read an article on the Bloomberg Website that said Google is giving employees G1 mobile phones instead of cash this year as their year end Christmas bonus. The article says:

"About 85 percent of workers will get a handset powered by Google’s Android operating system as a holiday gift, said the person, who asked not to be identified. Google handed out $1,000 cash gifts to most employees last year."

Eric Schmidt , Google's Chief Executive Officer, said as recently as last month that Google was seeking to control expenses as the global slump financial slump continues. T-Mobile began marketing the Google phone as their alternative to Apple's iPhone in October, 2008.

Motorola Android Launch Just in Time for Christmas... Christmas, 2009

2008-12-03T05:10:00.000-08:00

According to Dan Frommer, Motorola is restructuring their entire mobile phone portfolio around Android, and they are planning to launch Android phones just in time for Christmas!

Christmas 2009...

Not until next Christmas season, co-CEO Sanjay Jha said on this morning's Q3 earnings call. That's later than the "sometime in the second quarter of 2009" that BusinessWeek reported earlier this month.

With the Christmas '09 announcement, Motorola is clearly moving at a much SLOWER pace than we’d prefer, and their timeline does not take possible delays into account. But as Gizmodo properly points out, Android is supposed to make the lives of manufacturers EASIER, and to their credit they are at least being honest and up front about timelines and goals.

Timing is everything, and I’m not sure if Christmas 2009 is even worth counting on yet.

T-Mobile's G1 Android Phone

2008-12-02T21:17:00.000-08:00

There is a lot riding on the success or failure of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone. In a number of ways, the G1 carries the collective hopes of Linux, open source and Google fans everywhere. It's open, it's collaborative, and it's community-based - everything the iPhone and Windows Mobile are not.

The T-Mobile description says:

"Experience the Web just like on your computer, wherever you are with your T-Mobile G1. The browser makes your web experience fluid and natural by integrating it with other applications and features on your phone. Click on a phone number from a website, and your phone will dial it. Save images from the web as wallpaper. The list goes on and on."

The G1 delivers on Google Android's promises:

An Android phone allows you to browse the Internet just as you would on a normal computer.
Android allows you to run several applications at the same time - on one phone.
The Google Android phone allows you to chat and share photos on applications such as Yahoo Messenger, Google, Talk, etc.
The Android Phone Allows you to copy URLs and share them with friends via a live chat line while using a simple touch-screen interface.
