iPhone OS 3.0 and iPhone SDK 3.0 !

As you iPhone fans have heard, Apple have released the new iPhone OS 3.0 to developers and the new iPhone SDK for 3.0…

Yes, you’ve guessed it!

I’ve got the new iPhone OS 3.0 and currently downloading and installing the SDK to check out the long list of brand new APIs.

What does this mean?

This means that I’ve got early access to the firmware and developer kit so I can get stuck into developing for the new OS.

Can we expect changes soon?

Once the iPhone OS 3.0 is available for the public I’ll be updating my apps with some cool new features including the shake API and even more. Until then I’ll be updating a few of my apps with new features already planned before OS 3.0 was announced.

What updates will we see before we can all get 3.0?

Well here is a small list of things you will see very soon in the future:

iMood (Version 1.3) – New features will include Facebook Connect to be able to update your Facebook with your iMood.
Twitterville (NEW!) - A brand new Twitter client for the iPhone which will include a number of cool features. This will greatly improved when every is allowed to get iPhone OS 3.0 with cool new API’s.
DonkPad (Version 1.1) – DonkPad will be seeing a new update soon with user selectable skins different locations for buttons.

I will be posting other app updates when I feel it is the right time to announce them!

Google Android Software Launch

Google Android – An open source OS for mobile phones.

Google has launched it’s new open source operating system for mobile phones. It’s first phone to use this OS? T-Mobile HTC. (Named G1). This phone will be going on sale in October!

The OS is open for any developers to create applications for and the OS itself can be tailored for individual phones, networks and potentially user. Thirty four companies, including Google, have formed an alliance to promote Android and to develop features and handsets to take advantage of the platform. These companies include handset manufacturers such as LG HTC, Motorola and Samsung, chip firms such as Qualcomm and mobile networks like T-Mobile and China Mobile.

Google have made a Market for downloading applications, just like Apple’s App Store for the iPhone. However, unlike Apple, Google’s market will not require approval for applications.
