The page is in Dutch, but DF reader Rene Brouwer sent the following translation: 27 year old Frisian developer Eric Wijngaard won $275,000 in Google’s Android Developer Challenge for his ‘PicSay’ application. In an interview with a Dutch website he says he likes Google’s SDK but “What I really wanted to do was develop an iPhone app. The iPhone SDK wasn’t out yet, though.” Asked what he would do with the cash, his response was ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, AppleA spate of bad news surrounding Mobile Me and iPhone 3G quality problems paired with renewed vigor from competitors Microsoft, Dell, and Nokia has Apple running out of slack from the normally fawning press (TUAW certainly not withstanding). Forbes has a story about why Apple seems to have lost its luster recently. The New York Times is waxing nostalgic with a retrospective article titled Apple Imperfect. The National Post cites ...

Filed under: Tips and tricks, iPhoneI'll skip the obligatory mini-biography of Guy and cut to the chase: the dude gets a whopping 36 hours of standby time with his iPhone 3G. True, many other phones get better battery life and can go for days without a charge. But anyone banging their iPhone on the wall, wishing the darn thing didn't suck down the juice like a preschooler in the Sahara will appreciate his detailed account ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, SoftwarePicking just three favorite Mac applications was harder than I thought it would be. I decided to forgo anything that was either built-in or part of a major productivity or creative suite and just focus on applications that make my Mac computing experience unique and complete.

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Gaming, Hardware, Developer, iPhone Ever since games first started running on the iPhone, the issue of controls has always been at hand (so to speak). While the multi-touch screen allows for some very flexible control schemes, it doesn't provide any tactile feedback, and so more delicate controls like a directional pad or buttons aren't always doable (not to mention that they often take up valuable screen space).Enter the iControlPad, a ...

We’ve all heard tell of Apple’s Cupertino campus. It’s the land where dreams come true. Perhaps you, like me, have even visited this realm of the imagination, hovering just at the edges of the compound, where the air itself smells of the flowers and victory, the buildings are heated by rainbows, and trained snipers watch your every move through high-powered scopes. But, in all likelihood, you have not eaten of Apple’s food—for surely, if you ...

It appears to be time again for a new round of everybody's favorite puzzler. What will Sprint do next? We have to do something to fill the time between now and late October or early November when Sprint gives us some actual third-quarter numbers to chew on. Christopher Larsen, an analyst who follows Sprint for Credit Suisse, makes a not easily dismissed case for a coming "divorce" to end the troubled three-year-old marriage between Sprint ...

Aza’s Thoughts » Ubiquity In Depth Take a few minutes this week to look at the Ubiquity plugin for Firefox. So far, I’ve spent just enough time with it to have my mind blown by the Quicksilver-like interface it wants to bring to web browsing. Ubiquity for Firefox from Aza Raskin on Vimeo. And, like our favorite OS X launcher, Ubiquity also has an ambitious mission: to move beyond onesie-twosie key shortcuts by using user-extensible ...

As we become more dependent upon web based applications like Gmail, Google Reader, and WordPress, the reality of not having access while offline becomes a bigger concern. People aren’t using these applications just for entertainment anymore. For many, it’s a part of their job. While Gmail isn’t included, the other two have offline versions thanks to Google Gears. While that’s been a great solution for Firefox users, there are a few people that actually prefer ...
