I have to admit that I do not own an iPhone or iPod Touch (shocker!) so when we learned about the app TCoder that simplifies the painstaking process of covering speeches and press conferences, I asked II Spanish editor Andrea Ballocchi to test it out on her iPhone. Overall, she noted that “it is a practical application that is simple to use and has a clean interface and easy navigation.” The app is currently available in French, Spanish and English and they have plans to roll out a version for the iPad, so it sounds like we can unofficially say goodbye to the old pad and pen!
I was fortunate enough to attend an Apple seminar on UNC’s campus today for iPhone and iPod Touch application developers. Mobility consulting engineer Steve Hayman discussed the use of Dashcode for Web apps, as well as Xcode for native apps. Hayman showed us some innovative examples of current apps, tutorials with basic templates, and tips to getting started as a developer. Since this is a completely new topic for me (I’m still stuck with a crummy Verizon phone) let’s learn together!
