Android market heating up with college kids

3 months ago ChapterBoard was getting visited by iPhones 4 times more than Android. As of today Android users are nearly twice iPhone users.

Glad I spent all that time writing a native iPhone app….

iPhone App project organization in Xcode

Coming from web based mvc frameworks this seems to be a good approach. Having distinct folders for controllers, models and views. I’ve also seen others discuss grouping your code by functionality or by “screen” (view).

Just picked up a few books to help me get started with iPhone development. Very excited to get started after waiting all this time.

AT&T’s data plan announcement yesterday is some pretty big news. I don’t agree with having to pay an additional fee to tether my laptop in order to use bandwidth I’d already paid for. I guess that means I just won’t be upgrading my plan, and instead save the $15 a month since my normal usage (as shown above) is under the 200mb limit. DataPlus. Provides 200 megabytes (MB) of data – for example, enough to send/receive 1,000 emails (no attachments), plus send/receive 150 emails with attachments, plus view 400 Web pages, plus post 50 photos on social media sites, plus watch 20 minutes of streaming video – for just $15 per month.** This plan, which can save customers up to 50 percent off their wireless data charges, is designed for people who primarily like to surf the web, send email and use social networking apps. If customers exceed 200 MB in a monthly billing cycle, they will receive an additional 200 MB of data usage for $15 for use in the cycle. Currently, 65 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 200 MB of data per month on average. DataPro. Provides 2 gigabytes (GB) of data – for example, enough to send/receive 10,000 emails (no attachments), plus send/receive 1,500 emails with attachments, plus view 4,000 Web pages, plus post 500 photos to social media sites, plus watch 200 minutes of streaming video – for $25 per month.** Should a customer exceed 2 GB during a billing cycle, they will receive an additional 1 GB of data for $10 for use in the cycle. Currently, 98 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 2 GB of data a month on average. Tethering. Smartphone customers – including iPhone customers – who choose the DataPro plan have the option to add tethering for an additional $20 per month. Tethering lets customers use their smartphones as a modem to provide a broadband connection for laptop computers, netbooks or other computing devices. Tethering for iPhones will be available when Apple releases iPhone OS 4 this summer.

jQTouch - jQuery plugin for web based iPhone apps

This looks like a really cool library to help make your web based mobile version experience much more like a native app.
