An Agile C# Windows Mobile Developer Learns iPhone Development

1. It does make sense, but it's not like anything I've ever done. There is a reasonably good separation of concerns going on, but I'm not deep enough into it to assess its strengths and weaknesses yet.

2. "Coding" by drawing lines in Interface Builder feels like "coding" by dragging-and-dropping controls in Visual Studio, but it's not. I can't say I approve of coding with the mouse, but it is nothing like the drag-and-drop nightmare that you get with an undisciplined WinForms developer.

3. Where, oh where, is ReSharper for Xcode?

4. Unit testing is a relatively high-friction proposition. I believe in test-first design, but I'm still too new at this to have a feel for the way unit testing ought to work for an iPhone project.

5. Windows Mobile offers a great developer experience and a lousy user experience. On the iPhone it seems to be the other way around... at least so far...

Communology Introduces Centralized Communications Application for Hyperconnected Smartphone Users

Communology, a German software and solutions vendor specializing in client software for mobile communications, introduced LiveMedia C³ Cubical, a centralized personal mobile communications application that provides access to the most popular mobile communication channels on the home screen.

Do we really need a New OS?

  I am currently preparing a short post on interoperability but decided to make a diversion today following the release of details regarding Google's new operating system, Chrome OS. Basically, the question in the title says it all, do we need a new OS? We already have Windows (in its various flavours) which is widely used in schools across the country. We also have MAC OS, which has recently been updated and there are the various distibutions of Linux. Add to these the multitude of operating systems for mobile phones and handheld devices (iphone, Windows Mobile, Android...) and you can see that there are a whole welter of operating systems out there being used and most are incompatible with each other. So do we really need another OS?

Mobile Application Fragmentation - The harsh truth

I have these talks time and time again with people about the state of application development in mobile.  It is hard.  No matter how many people get excited about the buzz of applications on the iPhone.. no matter how many developers want their applications in an app store and no matter how many people want to buy applications, this is a challenging space.  

If you are looking for the best opportunity to make a difference in people's mobile world, you have limited options.  Take away the discoverability of the apps.. and just looking at platforms.  Here is my view on top bets.  

CURRENT: 
  1. Web-Kit HTML 5 based web-apps
  2. iPhone
  3. Android
  4. RIM
  5. Windows Mobile
  6. Palm Web OS
FUTURE (2-3 years)
  1. Web-Kit HTML 5 based web-apps
  2. Android
  3. iPhone
  4. Palm Web OS
  5. RIM
  6. Windows Mobile
Sure.. while I love the UI of a downloadable application, I think that pushing the envelope in the Web Application space has a better chance for daily high-value use.  Certain things limit you, sure.. but time to market, limitations in an app store, lack of installation.. all contribute to getting that customer use.  How do people find you?  You will definitely have to solve that problem.. but I still like this option best.  

Android will overtake iPhone in the next few years with the way the app stores are panning out.  More manufacturers are developing handsets, new ideas are popping up all the time.  With the open-ness of Android, it does not have some of the limitations Apple is putting in place.  Developers still have the risk of fragmentation here, but I hope Google helps solve that at the OS level and leave the developers to solving problems for end users.  

Palm Web OS is going to take better hold over time.  There are a plethora of developers that can develop for this platform with a low learning curve.  It will be interesting to see where this pans out.  

Unless you are developing corporate applications for RIM or Windows Mobile, I would struggle to see where you will get much traction through those app stores.  Don't get me wrong, I'd love to try to take on that challenge and see how it pans out.. but it will be tough for sure.  

Anyway.. that is my $0.02 for where things are heading.  As an application developer, getting distribution scale is a challenge to make money. People are not used to paying for web-apps yet, although as they get better and have integrated off-line use, it will be an option.  I love applications, don't get me wrong.  I just think it is a challenge for developers to pick a single platform to be successful.  Don't spread yourself too thin.. it wont work.  

One side note.. this is clearly a US focused post.. and not touching on Symbian, Samsungs new plans or even what Google is trying to do with "go".  I am sure we will see more interesting things come up in the next 18-36 months.  OEMs, please reduce fragmentation.. don't make it worse.

Finally a good GPS sport app for the Windows Mobile

Sods law that 1 week after fitting a Nike + pedometer sensor in my Asics running shoes (scalpel, needle & thread required) a good WinMobile app turns up.

The sportypal (who thinks of these names) app uses inbuilt gps on the phone to track speed, altitude, location on Google maps, calories burnt etc.

It links to Facebook and Twitter too so you can boast about your holier than thou keep fit efforts and personal bests.

Update your Windows phone for Daylight Saving Time

Updated August 2009 Daylight Saving Time (DST) or Summer Time, the shifting of clocks by one hour, is not observed uniformly around the world. Some countries and territories follow a set of standard rules for the start and end dates of Daylight Saving Time, and others follow their own calendars.

 If you have a windows mobile device, then you need to check this out. Daylight Savings Time starts/ends this weekend (I always get the start/end thing confused.  All I know is Spring - Forward, Fall - Back...); and you're going to need to update your device with the latest DST patch. 

You can check out the Windows Phone related files here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx

Please note, if you've installed the 2008 version, you need to UNinstall that first, before installing the version at the link, above.

Doit.im and Things

Doit.im, sebuah aplikasi GTD baru yang bisa dijalankan pada Mac OS, Windows and Linux ini sekilas mirip dengan Things, salah satu aplikasi GTD terlaris untuk Mac OS. Lihat saja tampilan dan menu2 yang tersedia. Things mempunyai versi iPhone-nya, sedang Doit.im for iPhone kabarnya akan segera dirilis. Keduanya juga menyediakan fitur sinkronisasi antara versi desktop dan versi iPhone-nya.
Yang membedakan antara Doit.im dengan Things adalah harga aplikasinya. Doit.im ditawarkan secara gratis, sedangkan Things dibandrol seharga US$49.95. Selain itu, kabarnya Doit.im juga akan menyediakan versi mobile untuk Android dan Windows Mobile. Sedangkan Things kelihatannya memfokuskan pengembangannya kepada Mac OS dan iPhone saja.
Tadi saya sempat mencoba Doit.im. Saat pertama kali digunakan, aplikasi ini akan meminta kita untuk mendaftarkan sebuah account karena Doit.im memungkinkan kita untuk melakukan sinkronisasi dengan web server. Tapi setelah proses pendaftaran selesai dan saya bisa menggunakannya, aplikasi ini beberapa kali menjadi hang. Mungkin proses sinkronisasinya belum sempurna.
Dari segi penggunaan fitur2nya selain sinkronisasi tadi, bisa dikatakan secara umum mirip sekali dengan Things desktop (saya pernah mencoba versi 'retak'-nya sebelum saya hapus dan membeli resmi versi iPhone-nya). Dengan penyempurnaan yang terus menerus, saya yakin Doit.im ini bakal menjadi penantang Things yang sangat serius.
