I received this email asking me to complete my enrollement to the iPhone Developer Program. I’m in Canada so that means Apple has now agreed to open the program to countries outside US.
I had to order the program on the Apple Store for 99$. I don’t know if I’m supposed to receive something by mail but it says it will be delivered within 8-12 business days.
UPDATE: I’ve finally received an activation key by email for my account; I’m now able to register devices and create apps certificates.
I’m back from the Web 2.0 Expo that took place last week in the Moscone Center, San Francisco.
The schedule was tight with dozens of conferences, keynotes and companies in the exhibit hall. There was definitely a lot of see.
The Moscone Center is kind of a famous place — this is where Steve Jobs made all those exciting announcement for Apple — so it was great to finally get there.
The whole place was divided in three floors; the first for the exhibit hall, the second for the conference sessions and the third, for the keynotes.
The event was organized with a succession of keynotes and conferences, the exhibit hall was open all day so that all kind of companies could showcase their products.
Web 2.0 Expo will be held next week in San Franciso, California from April 22–25.
This year, I’m really excited to attend the event and I look forward to meet great people. There are tons of conferences; I’ve already cherry picked my favorites but it’s still a very busy schedule.
I’ve also registered my profile to CrowdVine, so feel free to add me as a friend if you plan to attend; I’d be glad to meet you there, and especially all you guys from Montreal.
I’ll do my best to write a complete report of the event and if I can, writing followups every days. I guess my Twitter is going to burn.
Last year, Linus gave an incentive talk at Google about Git, and criticized quite vigorously the old model of centralized version control system (such as CVS and Subversion).
Last year, I’ve released a little Twitterific clone for the Google Android platform. It was more to have a quick taste of Android than to build a feature-complete app.
Today, I’ve decided to release TwitterDroid in open source and I’ve setup a git repository for you to clone and play.
I’ve ported the code to the latest (M5) version of Android so you won’t have to. TwitterDroid runs without any problems but Google has made significants changes to Android that have altered the look & feel of TwitterDroid; I hadn’t the time to redesign it but you’re free and encouraged to do so.
Of course, I’m accepting patches and comments as well.
The iPhone SDK was released a couple of weeks ago and I waited for the dust to settle before posting anything about it.
Having read every possible article and tutorial about it, I strongly believe this device has everything to reshape the mobile landscape and define new quality standards.
The Flip is a minimalistic camcorder that does only one thing and do it well, record video. This device has taken 13% market share in only one year. It’s the iPod of camcorders.
The Flip has one push button to record video, wakes up in 2 seconds, has an integrated USB arm to connect to your computer and all needed software is included in its memory, you don’t have to install anything. The Flip costs only $149, so it’s a no brainer for most people.
