Beginner’s Guide to iOS Development: The Interface – Part I: The good news is, iPhone application development is not as hard as you might think, and this post exists as a comprehensive guide to walk you through the complete process of building an application for iPhone. So whether you’re learning for business or you just have an amazing app idea that might make you a millionaire, let’s get started on building your first iPhone app!
Beginner’s Guide to iOS Development: Building Your First App – Part II: In the first part of our iOS tutorial I took you through a guided tour of the iPhone app development. We got a deeper look at Xcode 4, and also took a very short tutorial on building iPhone app. Today, we’ll get into the second segment of the topic, where we will be building a fully-functioning iPhone application. The app, with a tabbed navigation, will convert temperature units and distance units. Don’t worry if you’re still new to the Xcode. It does not take very long time to comfortably adapt into the interface. I’ll be explaining each step in detail so you shouldn’t get lost, either!
These are actually pretty good and very clear. I think most of us could actually accomplish the task and create an App. I think the hard part is a fully developed idea.
Adobe has officially decided to halt development toward future versions of Flash for mobile devices. While this mainly affects those of you with BlackBerry’s and PlayBooks or anything running Android, I believe most Apple owners are quite interested in this news. I am pretty sure if you have a seashell in the room you can put your ear against you can hear Steve Jobs whispering, “I told you so.”
Jobs was at the center of controversy when he took a stand and said Apple would not be supporting Flash on iOS-based devices. Everybody thought he would cave. Everybody thought we couldn’t live without support for Flash. Well, those everybody’s were wrong.
There’s a lot to love about the way iOS works, but sometimes you just need a little bit more from it. Take the built-in keyboard, for example. It gets the job done for texting and typing in shorter bursts, but for those aspiring novelists, businessmen with a presentation to finish, or extremely dedicated Internet forum trolls, the default keyboard may not cut it. Thankfully, there are a handful of options in the App Store that provide a functional alternative. From the keyboards for the socially addicted to the professional typist on the go, here are eight of the most helpful alternative keyboard options.

The iTunes App Store is packed to the brim with dozens upon dozens of quality apps. We’ll help you wade through the slush to find them.
As of July, 2011, there were over 425,000 iOS apps in the iTunes App Store, 100,000 of them native iPad apps. That’s an extraordinary amount of software battling for a home within your iPad or iPad 2, and there’s no doubt that some is great and some is junk. So the vital question is: how does one find the gems among the garbage? The most basic answer is to read App Store user ratings and reviews, but that’s a potential time-suck of massive proportions. Besides, the wisdom of crowds isn’t always all that wise. The better answer would be to check out PCMag’s picks for the 100 best iPad apps.

In Lion you can easily add Emoji characters (smiley faces, hearts, graphic icons, etc) in text. Bring up the Characters palette with Command+Option+T and then select Emoji. Then select the type and double-click the character to insert it. Works best in rich text editors like TextEdit and Mail, but doesn’t seem to work yet in Pages. http://macmost.com/type-emoji-characters.html

Wesley Fryer, of Moving at the Speed of Creativity has a wonderful post today about annotating on your iPad.
“As I approach a significant academic milestone this semester with the completion of my dissertation and PhD, I thought I’d share a very handy iPad application I’ve been using to annotate, correct and edit PDF versions of my own writing recently: iAnnotate PDF.”

When iOS 5 was released alongside the iPhone 4S, much of the talk was about Siri and other voice-related technology built right into the operating system. The option to speak into your iPhone and have it either translate that speech to text, or act upon your instruction is obviously super cool, but there’s one speech-related feature that’s slipped under the radar.
iOS 5 has a new accessibility option that allows iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users to have their text read back to them…
The toggle switch for text-to-speech is hidden inside the General > Accessibility section of your iDevice’s Settings app, and goes by the name of “Speak Selection.” You can also change how quickly the text is read via a slider.

(CBS News) For severely autistic people, communication is often impossible, leaving them unable to convey what they want or need. But as Lesley Stahl reports, touch-screen apps designed for tablet computers like the iPad are now giving autistic people new ways to express themselves, some for the first time. Teachers and parents are hailing the technology as a breakthrough, one that can reveal the true depth of knowledge and emotion trapped behind a wall of silence.

As incredible as it seems, it’s been over a year and a half since the original iPad was released, forever changing what the world thought of tablet computers. The old Tablet PCs were clunky, expensive machines that could run any Windows program, albeit slower and more awkwardly than a full computer. The iPad at first glance looks just like a scaled-up iPhone, but the wide range of apps and number of varied uses it’s found in homes, schools, and businesses has made tablets a permeant part of our computing ecosystem.
One area where the iPad and other tablets have lagged behind is with web apps. While Safari on the iPad is a modern, quite capable browser, many web apps are difficult to use with fingers, and can run very slow on slower processors. Over the past year, though, more and more web apps have been designed or updated to take advantage of the iPad’s features, including multitouch, gestures, and more. Let’s look at some of the best web apps today for the iPad, and if we miss your favorite, be sure to let us know in the comments below!

by carisa “It’s time for another Top 10 list and this time I’m doing something a little different. In honor of the upcoming holiday, I’ve selected some of my favorite book apps for iPad that are tailor made for Halloween reading. Unlike previous lists, most of these apps have not been fully reviewed on our site, so I’ve included a brief description and my overall star rating.
I’ve also included a special mention for a few books that I’d like to recommend even though they didn’t quite make it into the top 10. After that I’ve chosen a few Halloween themed apps outside the book category – an extra treat … no tricks here! Click on any app for iTunes link. All titles are iOS Universal or iPad apps.”

iTunes: Automatically download new music purchases to all your devices over Wi-Fi (or 3G). No syncing necessary. Download anything you’ve already purchased in the iTunes Store to all your devices. Ok so this could be handy, in fact I was traveling this weekend and have already taken advantage of this feature.
Photo on all your devices: iCloud pushes any photo from your iOS device or computer to the other—without syncing. Photos from your computer will automatically show up in the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. With Photo Stream, you’ll have access to the last 1,000 photos on your device stored on iCloud, not your computer or iOS device—unless you want it.
Documents in the Cloud: Keeps your documents up-to-date automatically. You’ll have access to your docs and most recent updates wherever you are on whatever device you’re using by signing into icloud.com/iwork, you’ll be able to view and edit your iWork files—and even download in iWork, Word or PDF format. OK, so all those MS offic fanatic should be happy!! Me, I have MS office on my MAC, but I have confess that I never use it. I always use iWork. Just simpler!!
Apps, Books & Backup: Apps will be everywhere you are—no need to download any multiple times on each device or computer you have. Same with books. iCloud will push all apps and books, including notes, highlighted text, etc. automatically. iCloud will back up your data daily over Wi-Fi. Finally, somebody was thinking. I back up, but now it will do it for me!! YEAH!!
Calendar, Mail, Contacts: iCal, Mail and Contacts will all also be pushed automatically, plus bookmarks, notes & reminders are included.
Find My Friends & Find My iPhone (iPad, iPod touch, Mac)
Turn your device into a location device—by sharing data, you can pinpoint where your friends and family are. Same goes for your devices should you loose it or it gets stolen. Wow, that is piece of mind, I lost my iPhone last year, what a hassle!! But looks like that will not be the case any more.
