Nokia Maemo, their new Linux-based OS - http://maemo.nokia.com/ - Symbia is obviously deprecated
So the point is: why buy a 100% of symbian last year???
- Jean-Charles VERDIE
They obviously don't know what they're doing. They're gonna end up on Android anyway, just a question of time. This is where developers are.

Good news? People like Paul don't usually get in the office so early especially after a lack of sleep, on a Monday morning, if there wasn't a great reason.

Paul, will you respond to this? This is *bad* for FF users. Best case: it continues on, but distracted by Facebook and with stagnated feature development. Worst case: it's gone. Middle of the road: Facebook forces its ads into the timeline and friendfeed starts acting like Facebook by ignoring its users.
- tollie williams
@tollie, I imagine Paul's ability to respond is now constrained, which is just one of the changes we'll see coming. There's new management in town, folks.

Why would you want an Apple Tablet? What do you think would be its primary usage?
I would want one for the house, mostly to read (and maybe as a wonderful all-in-one super remote for my digital tv setup)
- Sylvain Carle
It's the classic use cases; reading books, browsing the web. But would you work on that and how? I'm pretty sure Apple would come up with a totally different UI for that kind of device (that won't the the OS X Desktop UI), but I can't imagine how it would work.
- fbrunel
My guess is that the default view would look pretty much like a croos betwwen the new safari "top sites" views and iphone icons...
- Sylvain Carle
Make sense. But will it be a platform to run dedicated apps (like in the iPhone) or OS X apps? Actually, it could be based on iPhone OS.
- fbrunel
Will the Apple Tablet be a bigger iPhone or a small MacBook?

With Birdfeed release, another iPhone twitter client, the question I'd like to hear about is: what twitter client do you use and what for/why?
Martin Dufort and fbrunel liked this
Tweetie (Mac and iPhone) as regular day-to-day client, plus Birdhouse for tweets not yet ready to post or I want to think twice again, and Reportage when I have few time to tweet but want to keep updated with my "favorites" following
- Jean-Charles VERDIE
There is too many of them, all doing the EXACT same thing, except for what we tried to do with Reportage.
- fbrunel
Not sure why no one is actually trying to come up with a daring UI. Look at TimeMachine on OSX, CoverFlow in iTunes... Wondering ???

"(1) I meant local URL, you can send data to an app like that. Mail and the browser are real apps. (2) As I said before, UI is not portable and in that regard Java does change anything. A Blackberry app and an iPhone app are very likely to look very different. (3) No. Landscape keyboard is already supported since 1.0. I said that Apple is now using it all across it's own apps. (4) You nailed it down. Only people who have been used to a smartphone before would likely to complain about not having a physical keyboard. New users? They just don't care."
- fbrunel
Re: iPhone OS Enterprise Deployment Guide - http://fredbrunel.com/journal...
"(1) You can share data by URL between application. But I don't see why it would be a problem with the enterprise. It's really important to note that most productivity applications (such as Mail) keep their state (Apple recommends to implement that) so that switching between apps is not a problem. Thus, on the iPhone 3GS, launching apps is very fast. (2) Are you talking about portability or learning curve here? (3) Using the keyboard in landscape mode (as you can on most built-in apps on 3.0) greatly improve the ease of use."

Re: MMS is Hot Again! - http://fredbrunel.com/journal...
"(1) I'm not saying that, I'm relating the facts; people talk about MMS for the iPhone has *the* hot feature -- a proof that for most them it's something they would now use on a day to day basis. (2) MMS has never been popular due (most of the time) to a pretty bad interface -- especially with low-end devices. (3) Yes probably, I didn't say anything about that -- it's a non issue for me."

Re: iPhone OS Enterprise Deployment Guide - http://fredbrunel.com/journal...
"Hi Olivier, Concerning your points, (1) I don't think multi-tasking is an absolute requirements for professionals. You can share data between application, it's not really a problem. (2) Yes, that's true you need to do an app from scratch. But the potential of features and design and far more interesting than using the J2ME standard. Giving the quality of the iPhone SDK, the development cycle is actually not that long. Thanks to the tools, optimizing for the iPhone gives far better results from my experience. (3) I don't think smartphones with the same capabilities can do any better in that regard. Apple does not manufacture batteries. I have to try with the new iPhone 3GS. (4) If you design your app carefully you can greatly reduce the need for the keyboard."

Beware the coming Twitpocalypse by @tuaw #AppDev #twitter #requirements #fail - http://www.tuaw.com/2009...
David Foucher, diego morelli, Dan Morrill AKA Techwag and 5 other people liked this
This is an excellent example of missing a key requirement when building applications. The API team failed to build a scalable application for accepting the incoming data (Problem: limitation on "unique identifier" variable assigned for each post "tweet" - fixed limit is too small for actual data capacity received via API). To their credit, twitter's growth has been unbelievably exponential, so it understandable to "miss" a key requirement like this as they may have never foreseen the need to scale up their API app this much; however, the sharp upward growth trending has been quite clear for some time (lots of warning) - oops.
- Susan Beebe
from Bookmarklet
considering that some of the earliest tweets have gone missing, maybe their fix is to roll over ?
- martin english
Actually, Twitter is just fine, they have been handling that case since the start. It's only the 3rd party clients that may be impacted is their software is not designed to handle large numbers.

What Makes More Sense: iPhone Tethering or a Wireless Card? - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
fbrunel, Kali, Peter Ghosh and 2 other people liked this
A MiFi made the most sense to me. Tethering definitely drains the battery. Having an alternative connection than AT&T to get to the web is always better in my area. I don't need to plug it into a laptop to get connected since it's a WiFi hotspot. So far, I've been mostly using it with the iPhone, netbook, and camera with an Eye-Fi card.
- Rodfather
As someone with neither an iPhone or a WiFi card (and most concerned with cost), iPhone Tethering would convince me to buy the iPhone. More ROI on the $30 data plan.
- Kali
Kali - Tethering will most likely be an extra fee from AT&T on top of the $30 data plan.
- Aaron Hood
It's a £14.95 Bolt- On from O2.
- Roberto Bonini
I tethered my previous phone (an ATT/HTC 8525) and it did not drain the battery of the phone (it of course charged it instead). I want fewer devices in my world (which is why I liked the iPhone to begin with), and don't want to pay for a seperate device/plan.....
- Peter Ghosh
Aaron - I should of assumed as much. ;) still would probably invest though if it was under $20 for tethering.
- Kali
I gave a try to the iPhone tethering doing (with iPhone OS 3.0 GM) and it's simply stunning. Rogers as already activated the tethering option. It's fast and reliable.

Reportage for iPhone, a different way to use Twitter on-the-go - http://fredbrunel.com/journal...
Reportage focuses on people. Instead of having a single timeline, Reportage shows you the most recent activity in a wall of avatars. Then, you can cherry pick who you want to listen to first — pretty much like with the tuner of a radio receiver.
