Spezify

30 June 2009 / Comments

Spezify is a search engine displaying amazing results in a visual manner, mixing text and medias. I was very surprised by the quality of the results, and it’s especially good at extracting relevant information from Twitter.

We take web search further, away from endless lists of blue text links and towards a more intuitive [...]

A great biography of Steve Jobs from Gizmodo.

Medialets Benchmarks iPhone 3GS Performance with JavaScript

Interesting benchmark. As JavaScript (in WebKit) is available on every iPhone, Palm Pre and Android phones it’s a fair comparison; and the iPhone 3GS blow them all.

Why We Need Steve Jobs

Daniel Lyons:

Cook is a great manager, a whiz when it comes to managing supply chains and keeping the trains running on time. He is vital to Apple. Jobs cannot do what he does. But neither can Cook do what Jobs does. The fact is, Apple needs both of them. Forgive me for the [...]

iPhone 3GS Blows Away iPhone 3G in 3D

John Casasanta:

As the video shows, in our OpenGL ES testing, the 3GS is generally close to four times faster than the 3G. Results will vary depending on the application but this is remarkable to say the least.

It’s no surprise giving the new graphic chips in the iPhone 3GS but it worth mentioning. And [...]

Conversation with an iPhone

20 June 2009 / Comments

With the new iPhone 3GS comes a smart voice control system to ask you iPhone to do some basic tasks. At first I though it was a pretty much useless feature, but actually I’m using it more and more; not having to get your phone from your pocket while your walking is very comfortable.

So, to [...]

Apple Makes MMS Hot Again!

18 June 2009 / Comments

I can’t believe MMS is hot again. With the iPhone 3.0 software update, everyone is talking about it and can’t wait to try it.

MMS has been around for more that 7 years but so badly implemented into devices that it was simply unusable.

It’s crazy! We had to wait for Apple to show these guys how [...]

iPhone OS Enterprise Deployment Guide

18 June 2009 / Comments

John Gruber,

The conventional wisdom at the moment seems to be that the iPhone is only a consumer device, but the conventional wisdom is wrong. Think about all the hospital/medical demos from recent iPhone events, for one thing.

I also think there is a huge market for professional iPhone apps deployed exclusively inside the enterprise—and [...]
