I’d be interested if they were talking about creating non-web oriented applications. Their application paradigm assumes that users will be connected to the web all the time. I’m not sure if they understand mobile computing… You need to have the ability to have ‘occasionally connected’ apps — which is something you cannot do with Safari or their stupid widgets.

This is exciting stuff. What does everyone think the iPhone needs more than anything else as far as software development right now?

Grant #10 – try clearing safari cache, history, & cookies and then reboot you phone (not just sleep, but full reboot). I was having similar troubles but they cleared up after a reboot. Good luck.

While I can’t love enough of my iPhone, (the best $600 I ever spent on anything, period), I find a bug to be really annoying: while iPhone apps are busy loading page (such as real time traffic map, love it by the way), it tends to exit me out of current app and back to iPhone home. It’s not rare, in fact, it happens so often it is getting on my nerve. Anyone has similar experiences?

I’d love to attend a workshop where the Apple Team were able to discuss what can and can’t be done for the iphone before we started developing a product. Requiring that you bring work in progress is glorified tech support. If you find yourself in a situation where you need it, your concept may be at risk and you’re likely already in trouble.

Is this Apple’s response to iPhoneDevCamp? …we’re staying one step ahead: http://barcamp....m/MobileDevCamp

Start something local promoting open web standards for mobile devices.

“Developing a web app for the iPhone is the last thing I’d do. I like to earn revenue from products that I develop.”

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve read in a while. So people who actually have money ($600 for a phone ain’t pocket change) to spend and also have money to potentially spend on YOUR stuff are not your desired customer base?! Who do you prefer visits your site? A bunch of kids that don’t even have a credit card?!

It could still be a good workshop to attend since the workshop will teach you how to create and optimize your web applications for the iPhone. If you have web applications that have anything to do with the iPhone, then I don’t see why its not worth attending.

Apple has a way of getting you to pay for every thing, don’t they!

The email sent back to me says if you don’t bring in any source code or you’re not actually working on a project, they reserve the right to boot you from the event.
