iPhone version of Tisha Creative

I’ve been pretty busy lately with work and moving; Natalie and I recently moved into a new apartment that we’ve been preparing for a while now. At Tisha Creative, I finally completed an iPhone version of our website. The site offers all the basic features of the regular desktop-based site and use an iPhone friendly UI to display them. The iPhone site offers both landscape and portrait UIs and keeps all content on scale. In addition, I’ve managed to incorporate the desktop version of the site’s weather and day/night scripts that automatically change the appearance of the UI based on time of day and the current weather here in Hoboken. You cane preview the iPhone version of the site here.

My Favorite Free Apps for iPhone

Sometimes the best apps on Apple’s iTunes Store for the iPhone and the iPod Touch are the free ones. A pattern I’ve began seeing with some of these free applications is that their developers tend to continue their further development, rather then abandon the projects after making a few bucks and moving onto a next get rich quick scheme. The following iPhone apps are all SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SEM (Search Engine Marketing), and (SMO Social Media Optimization) related tools which I use on a daily basis.

My favorite Twitter application for the iPhone is currently Tweetie from Atebits. There are quite a few of these types of application on Apple’s iTune’s store at the moment, however, Tweetie is not only free, but also allows you to logon with multiple accounts.

Wordpress application from Automattic, Inc. is another great application for maintaining and updating your wordpress blog. It’s so feature rich in fact, that I’ve written this blog entry directly from it. It’s also useful for checking up on spam on your blog; I seem to to be getting quite a bit as of late, however, when I’m on the go, it takes me literally just a few seconds to delete it.

1 Billion Apps downloaded off iTunes

Just a few minutes ago, 1 billion iPhone/iPod Touch applications were downloaded off of Apple’s iTunes. That’s pretty impressive considering that the iPhone 2.0 software upgrade enabling developers to build applications for the device only happened 9 months ago. I myself have downloaded quite a few of them, as well as bought a couple which I found either useful or entertaining. I’m still addicted to TouchGrind, which I wrote about a few weeks back.

iPhone of 2007 and iPhone 3.0

On June 28th, 2007 my mom and I got up early in the morning, packed our laptops, water, beach chairs, and met up at the Apple SOHO store in the city. We arrived to find the line already formed for people just like us waiting for the release of the iPhone the following morning. Both of us have never done anything like this before and given that I just convinced my mom to by some shares in Apple, romanticized to her in following technology news, I did not need to twist her arm to come along with me and share in the experience.
