Construction Ahead
February 28, 2008
Well, we finally got moved over to the new site and imported all of the articles — what a nightmare that was. But we finally got the bulk of it transferred over and configured. There’s still a fair bit of work ahead however, so if there’s stuff you don’t see that should be [...]

February 27, 2008
To the East side! To some de-luxe web hosting in the sky! With Bluehost, that is. Fact is, we’ve had it with our current web hosts’s problems. The server problems are more than we can bear, so we’re picking up our things, slamming the door behind us, and moving everything over [...]
Dream or Reality
February 27, 2008
Finally, the iPhone / iPod Touch SDK is to be announced at the Cupertino Campus on March 6th. As many of you know the SDK has been on our minds for several days, especially with Apple taunting us with suspenseful delays of this release. Before I discuss what to expect with the SDK, I believe [...]

February 26, 2008
If you’ve loaded iTunes today, you may have noticed a couple of updates waiting in the form of both an iTunes update to 7.6.1.9, and a rather hefty firmware update for iPhone and iPod Touch to version 1.1.4. (So much for the “Update 2″ rumor) Thus far, tests have confirmed that the upgrade [...]
Apple Tuesday Comes, SDK Doesn’t
February 26, 2008
It’s Tuesday, folks, and while it has given MacBook fans something to be cheery about, those of us on the more diminutive end of things mobile have only confirmed what recent rumors made us fear: No SDK. Not that there were many of us holding out much hope in the first place; Business Week [...]

We’re Looking For a Writer (or Two). APPLY WITHIN!
February 25, 2008
UPDATE [February 27th]:
We found ourselves a writer. Thanks for all who were interested. We are no longer looking.
Dear Touch Podium readers,
News is a little slow here, because I, personally, have become fairly busy with a new job that has been taking quite a bit of my writing time. You will still see me writing often [...]

What Do YOU Want to See in the Next Firmware Release?
February 23, 2008
I write for you all this evening, wondering what Apple has in stock for us in firmware release 1.1.4 (or whatever the next iPod Touch / iPhone firmware will be called). I truly do hope it comes with a couple newly-found features, this time not making iPod Touch users pay for any of the updates..

February 23, 2008
It’s been a tick since we had a brouhaha over the commercialization of apps for use on jailbroken devices (if you recall the Labyrinth fiasco), and it appears that the folks over at the unfortunately-named RiP Dev are going to resurrect the debate with the release of Caterpillar.
