Yes, it’s possible. Even if Objective-C is one of my preferred programming languages, in any case I think it’s worth mentioning that, 2 years after the official iPhone SDK has been announced, the iPhone development landscape has really grown up, and many, many different options are available today. This article provides a very high-level enumeration [...]

A lot has been said and done about the iPhone, but there’s much more to Cocoa and Objective-C than our beloved pocket device.
During a chat session with Stefan Fürst from Media Atelier we put together a quick list of significant Mac applications created in Switzerland (and southern Germany), and indeed the list (in [...]

My internal clock insists in saying that I had breakfast at 5 o’clock, but other than that, [...]

Finishing my series of copied flattered UIs, like that Facebook thingy or that Twitterriffic gadget, here’s Apple’s own iPhone keyboard, in a really sloppy implementation that has been blatantly and horribly copied, with awful sounds that pop when you tap the numbers and such. The Fring iPhone application uses a similar keyboard, but with [...]
