  • Lumen for iPhone. – [Updated]

    [Update – 02.09.08] – (14.26pm GMT)

    It seems Bridger has gone one step further. In an attempt to get people interested in Lumen’s new revised UI, he is now including it within the free version of the application, Lumen Lite! [App Store].

    [Update – 02.09.08] – (12.27pm GMT)

    “Thanks for the coverage! Your review is great.
    It is always cool to hear from someone who enjoys playing Lumen.

    I have to give credit where it is due though. Adam Betts was the artist who redesigned the interface. To be honest I didn’t even give him any guidelines on what needed changing on the interface. He completely came up with everything himself. He spotted many UI flaws that Lumen had and fixed them without any instruction from me. He also was great about communicating his progress, delivering very on time, and charged a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”

    Thank You,
    Bridger Maxwell

  • Breaking: Gameloft’s Asphalt 4 Elite Racing, Now Available for iPhone!! – [Updatedx3]

    [Updatex3] – 31.08.08 (12.52pm GMT)

    The game does support “steering”:

    “The game does indeed support iPhone “steering”. Once you have started a game, click the iPod icon in the upper left corner of the screen, and you can choose from one of three different playing modes.

    Enjoy!”

    Thanks JW (Comment)

    [Updatex2] – 30.08.08 (18.17pm GMT)

    Ok, on first launch it sent the iPhone into a soft reset – but that’s not to say that was Gameloft’s fault, just yet, it could be instability with software 2.0. Secondly, the App Store description states you can control your car by steering the iPhone – based on the accelerometer. Now, it may just be me, but I’ve yet to find that functionality – Game play is currently controlled by touch gestures.

    Has anyone been able to figure this out? – Maybe Gameloft can chip-in at this point? …

  • Apple confirms September iPhone update. (2.1, Push?) – [Briefly]

    It’s not a secret that, we as iPhone users have been having major problems. Since Apple changed the frameworks and launched an entirely new version of the iPhone OS, iPhone 2.0, users of the iPhone have been less than satisfied with the performance and stability of their device.

    The recent 2.0.2 update partially addressed 3G connectivity issues, as well as plugged various bugs to make the platform half stable again (the 1.X.X days). While the update brought stability in the form of reducing the amount and frequency of system crashes and resets, the stability of iPhone’s third party application’s, have yet to be addressed …

    [Update – 26.08.08]

    Thank you to everyone who contacted me.
    If your still interested, drop me at razorianfly@gmail.com

    Original Article:
    I am looking for a highly-talented iPhone developer to develop and design a simple iPhone application directed at grabbing content from this blog. This new application will be coined ‘RazorianFly Mobile’. The idea being, the app will provide an easy, and clean, interface to read Razorianfly, while mobile, and will be available to everyone, worldwide, through Apple’s App Store. The application will be set out in a list form, and would update over Wifi, Edge and 3G. I imagine it would be easy to develop, but unfortunately I’m lacking C+ programming experience. Currently, I’m thinking of going with the same sort of user interface that WordPress for iPhone [App Store] offers – without the editing abilities …

  • iTunes no-longer transferring applications bought using the mobile App Store?

    Since updating to iPhone software 2.0.2, a few users have e-mailed me reporting of strange behavior between iTunes and iPhone. These issues are said to cause their mobile application purchases to not sync back up to their main application library in iTunes.

    As you probably know by now, Apple’s App Store works on an ecosystem. You buy an application, it downloads over the air, you sync with iTunes, and the application is transferred to your main ‘Applications’ library to be available for a future sync. Bearing in mind a sync replaces all content on the device with that of whats in the iTunes library your syncing your iPhone with …
