If you ever wondered how much work goes into creating a little, awesome iPhone app like Warships, this video from Sebastian de With is for you.
And here’s the original blog post. In case you haven’t, go buy Warships now.
It’s at times like this I really hope for a fake. I mean, forniture?
Yeah, the Apple Table.
One month ago I wrote that Reeder was the new best RSS reader for iPhone. Then, some people started criticizing my review, telling me that Newsstand was way better than Reeder: it had more features, better stability and - this is weird - better support from the developer. Now, with the latest 1.2 update that went live last night I’d like to say it once again: Reeder is the best RSS app for iPhone.
Here’s why.
“According to Apple, Nokia is infringing on 13 of its patents. Apple’s lawyer was very blunt in his statement concerning the case.
“Other companies must compete with us by inventing their own technologies, not just by stealing ours,” said Bruce Sewell, Apple’s General Counsel and senior vice president.”
Has Apple finally realized that the Ovi Store was a copy of the App Store?
“One thing that’s cool about Tweetie 2 is the fresh paradigm to refreshing the contents of a table view. Up until now we had been looking for space to mount a reload button on, sometimes having to resort to adding an extra tool bar for just one view so that you can have enough space. Now if you have a tableview that it sorted reverse chronologically, then you have a natural urge to make new items appear at the top by pulling down the table with extra force.
Loren recognized this need and innovated the Pull-To-Reload paradigm. If you want to refresh a tableview in Tweetie 2 then you simply pull down the table far enough for an additional cell to appear at the top with the instruction “Pull down to refresh”. If you do, then at a certain point the arrow rotates and the text changes to “Release to refresh”. All accompanied by two distinct wooshing sounds and a pop once the reloading action has ceased. The Intuitiveness of this paradigm is so compelling in fact that people who use Tweetie 2 start to try to refresh ALL tableviews like this.”
When someone innovates people start copying. Or just taking inspiration, they say. But when an innovation becomes a standard, are we sure it’s good at all? Where’s the difference between an innovation that gets copied for good and something that gets stolen for the trend’s sake?
The AppStore will tell us.
