Comment on Icon sizes + filenames for iOS devices by Cory

I made an app for doing this, and it’s now available in the mac app store.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iconizer/id412346451?mt=12
It will re-size your icons to all 7 sizes, and it also does previews with the gloss and rounded corners so you can test out what it will look like on-device.

Comment on Why a WYSIWIG tool for Android might be useful by Robert Twizell

I had a bash at developing on Android before switching to iOS. Learning Interface Builder and Obj-C took a while, but now I am happily making hundreds of dollars a day from my apps. The WYSIWYG nature of IB makes developing UIs extremely fast once you have gone up the learning curve.

Yesterday I had to return to Android development to create a prototype for a client and what a shock to the system it was. The lack of WYSIWYG editing crippled my production speed. A piece of work that would have taken 2 hours on iOS and with XCode ended up taking me 10 hours.

Justifying the lack of suitable tools by this weird inverted logic is plain wrong. Apple’s IB software uses an XML description of the UI as its underlying representation. The problem here is the age old problem of Java UI’s. Write once, test everywhere.

I am so glad not to have to do this for a living any more. Someone at Google needs to fix this, and their staff have to stop telling those of use who are designer/coders that we don’t need WYSIWYG. We do, and we need it to be fast and easy to use as well.

Comment on Spotify says no to J2ME by Gavin

I used to use Vodafone Music services, and when in a 3G area was very good. Was a little clunky at times but for 99% of the time was fine.

The only trouble was you needed authentication before it would play a track, which caused a few second delay some times.

I would of keeped the service if it was a available on other networks. But needed to change network due to poor reception at work.
