	CloudApp is being retired
	Well, that day is upon us - due to Apple's changing AppStore rules and my professional relationship with Apple, CloudApp's developed is halted. Check our the CloudApp page for details.

	iPad updates
	I've recently made some updates to both TabBrowser and CloudApp to support the iPad. For TabBrowser, the functionality is largely the same except on the iPad the app supports 8 tabs instead of the simple 5 tabs that the iPhone/iPod allow. Combine the increase in tabs with the increased resolution of the iPad and we finally have what I originally envisioned for the app. For CloudApp (1 through 4), not only do I support the iPad but I also include a new option to go into full-screen mode (in other words hide the status bar at the top). This allows new types of applications such as photo frame and kiosk type web applications. Both are universal binaries - the same app runs on the iPhone/iPod or the iPad and are optimized for the device they are running on. I've submitted both to Apple for review and they should be available shortly.

	Quality Assurance Fail
	As one astute user noticed, there was a typo in the description for an "Epic Fail". Of course, that same user failed to find the two other spelling errors in other fail descriptions so they were almost as bad as myself. In any case, the spelling errors have been corrected and an updated app has been submitted to Apple.

	"Not made for iPhone" revisited
	I've posted some more thoughts on this notorious message so many iPhone accessory users are familiar with. If you don't want to read the fine article, let me summerize - if you use the serial protocol to talk to the phone (advance track, play previous track, etc.) then you are going to see the "not made for iPhone" message come back no matter what resistor you use. Darn it...

	XKILL IPHONE is in hibernation
	The lack of recent updates is due to my real-life activities. For my day job, I've recently accepted a position at Apple. While I won't be working (directly) on iPhone related projects, I'm prohibited from writing any new applications or without a lot of legal hassle. On the other hand, existing applications are exempt from this restriction so I may make a few updates to my already existing apps.

	TabBrowser and OnTheCan for sale
	The tab-based browsers I wrote several months ago are finally available in the AppStore. They were not available yesturday (i.e. still in review) and tonight when I checked iTunes, there they were. Turns out that gmail.com (what I use as a SPAM filter) suddenly decided the emails from Apple are SPAM. It didn't think this yesturday... Strange. Very Strange. In any case, both apps are available for $0.99

	SigAlert removed from AppStore
	My free app, SigAlert, has been removed from the AppStore. Apparently the not-so-nice folks at sigalert.com claimed my app was using thier intellectual property and contacted Apple requesting the app's removal. Real classy guys... rather than talk to me first they went straight to Apple. My intention was never to make money off this app, hence was available for free. The only ads there were the ads directly from sigalert.com. I fail to see why my app infringes on thier trademarks any more than any browser that can access thier site.
