    What they are saying is that they won’t allow applications onto their marketplace solely because of what language was originally used to create them. This is a frightening move that has no rational defense other than wanting tyrannical control over developers and more importantly, wanting to use developers as pawns in their crusade against Adobe.

    Real App developers are focused on making apps, not squabbling about Apple refusing to allow another unconnected platform maker to hijack their platform. Why doesn’t Adobe just make a freaking Flash phone?

    Could be useful if you want to play around with building accessories! I’m tempted….

  5. iPhone / iPad multitasking

    We don’t give the idea of single-tasking enough credit.

    When I develop an iPad or iPhone application I get to control the entire experience the users having. The whole thing! There aren’t any other windows demanding attention, there aren’t interruptions (aside from alerts, which is why I think apple was reluctant to offer them to developers), the only App I have to worry about noise from is the iPod app and I can turn that off, there aren’t system controls distracting the user, at the user level my application is the device!

    What’s not there gives the designer / developer incredible power to define an experience. 

  6. Apple: Simplicity taken too far? | The Open Road - CNET News

    Yea… Apple shouldn’t force iPhone developers to write objective-c on a mac, I suppose Google shouldn’t force Android developers to write java? Oh and Microsoft definitely shouldn’t force Windows Phone 7 Series developers to develop in Silverlight on Windows right? 

    “Disclosure: I work for Canonical” oh that explains it! A linux guy needs to talk about an Apple product to get attention so he blathers on about “burdened developers” latching on to alternative “open-source offerings and even Microsoft”. Never mind that Objective-C is just as valid as any other language and Apple provides a fantastic development environment with Xcode.

  8. Demand For Apple iPad May Be Higher Than Expected – 24/7 Wall St.

    Wait a minute, so “Those numbers could translate into extraordinary sales of the iPad” yet “Apple may have to quickly cut prices to keep consumer interest in the iPad high.” 

    Douglas A. McIntyre needs to re-think his argument.
