Installing iPhone SDK On PowerPC

If you have installed the iPhone SDk on a Power PC, you can't create iPhone Apps. Because the PowerPC Plattform is not supported by the SDK. Well...., you can install it browsing through the package content in the SDK image disk.
You must intall the aspen packages manually to use it with the XCode. You can se the packages in the image.



After install it you need to move it to the platform folder in the Developer folder. These packages by default will be installed in the root folder, you need to move it to the developer folder. Other option is change the destination folder in the installation app.

After these steps you will see in the new project window the option to develop iPhone apps.

Time Capsule: An Amazing Device

This device was introduced in the 2008 Apple MacWorld. Is an access point with high storage : 500 GB or 1TB. It can be used as back up disk with time machine, the backup system for Mac Os X Leopard. Another interesting thing is that Time Capsule implements the 802.11 protocol, te trasmission speed could be of 600 Mbps.

I think this device is interesting allowing users don't deppend of computers or external drives to make back ups, I mean that an access point is always turned on and it means that network hard drive is always connected. The prices are good, from 299$ to 499$. An interesting device to spend money.

MacBook Air

The new Mac Book Air is here, all the rumors are true about the ultra thin portable. I think is really amazing, a little expensive i think, but the minimalism is expensive.

Another interesting thing is that Mac Book Air doesn't have optical drive. You can "stole" every optical drive in your network to install programs. Also the MacBook Air has two ports, an USB port and a mini DVI port to extend the signal to a external display or a slide projector.

Also the most interesting thing is that the track pad is multitouch, similar to the iphone. I mean that you can use gestures to do actions, like view photos, make zoom.

Apple has said that MacBook Air is the thinnest notebook in the world.

The definitive price is 1799 $.

O.S. & Browser Market Share

The use of iPhone browser is growing rapidly. Is interesting view as the iPhone with is sort cycle life is more used than Windows Mobile.

Also the use of Mac OS X has increased and Windows XP is falling slowly. Perhaps in a few years the most used OS sill be Mac OS X.

Android: Easy Way To Develop Mobile Apps

As you know google has intrudec Android a Development Mobile Platform. With this platform you can develope easy app for mobile, the code is writted in Java. The source code is open and a communitie has been founded. Is interesting that now there's no mobile phone in market that supports android, in this case google thinks is more important firts a strong platform and after a mobile device. On the other hand the Apple case, first Apple introduce iPhone before the SDK (is expected for February 2008) and I think Apple doesn't have in the initial plans release the SDK, maybe iPhone jailbreak, a lot of interesting app for the iPhone and the Android Launch force the SDK. Also last news says about Apple has sent the SDK to developers few days ago.
What do you think about?

Share Music Between Two iPods

If you want to share your music with a friend with this device you can do it without iTunes. This device has tow dock connectors to do it. I don't know if you can select the files to share it. It appears a good idea to do it. I think Apple doesn't like this device. You can buy it for 99$.

New Ultra - Portable Mac

Now there's no Ultra-Portable Mac as the old 12 inch Power Book. There are some rumors about it. Perhaps Apple wants to introduce it at the MacWorld Expo 2008. Nowadays Apple doesn't have any devide to compete with Sony Vaio, an interesting option to have a ultra-portable device. Another question is the screen, Apple could be think to add the iPhone/iPod multitouch screen to this devices. I think is a good idea, because then Apple can compete also with TablePC devices, making more amazing the user experience

Non Traslucent Menu Bar In Leopard

You're viewving a non traslucent menu bar in leopard, and you dont' why? Apple explains why it occurs. The problem is because the graphics card is not compatible with Core Image.

"Some graphics cards, such as an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, may not have the necessary OpenGL capabilities to display a translucent menu bar even though they are compatible with Core Image. Those cards should render most effects, but not the translucent menu bar."

What do you think about european iPhone impact?

Dashcode: Very amazing and easy development way to Widgets.

There are a few of templates:

Navigation menu with objects hierarchy
