Apple Removes Teaching App From App Store, and Educators Complain – Gadgetwise Blog – NYTimes.com

April 20, 2010 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

Apple generally makes news by publishing new apps, not by unpublishing them. But last week, it made some educators upset when it removed an app, Scratch Viewer, from the iTunes App Store.

Scratch Viewer was designed to let educators and others review a child’s work that was created on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch using the Scratch programming language, which has become popular in many schools.

The Easiest Way to Build your First iPhone App | Nettuts+

January 29, 2010 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

PhoneGap is an open-source framework that can turn any web app into a native app for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. It pulls off this trick by running your web code in a UIWebView, an embedded instance of Safari without the toolbars and buttons of the standalone Safari app. PhoneGap then extends this basic functionality by mapping features of the iPhone SDK to JavaScript objects you can call in your web code, so you can easily add features like GPS, camera, contacts, vibration, SQLLite and accelerometer support. And when you’re ready to distribute your app, PhoneGap 0.80 is Apple-approved!

Gamasutra: Adam Saltsman's Blog – Bytes: The 0.99 Problem

December 7, 2009 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

Since launching two months ago, though, I’ve had more time to think about the decision, and the more I think about it, the more I realize that we really didn’t have a choice. So, using the conflict above and a little maths, I would like to quickly explain why, as a developer, pricing your game at $0.99 is actually far more risky than pricing it at $1.99 or higher, using something like Canabalt (popular, self-published, self-marketed, NOT a top 10 hit) as an example.
