Nerd Grind — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:19:12 +0000

Also, the video below highlights another coup for the iPod Touch. The 2G Touch is pitted against an original Touch, an original iPhone and a 3G iPhone in a game of TouchSport Tennis. It handily beats all three in load times. Not bad, little guy.

Nerd Grind — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:36:33 +0000

Apple has just opened up its development software to universities. Not only that, they’re making it freely available with SDK software and hardware so that different colleges can get up to 200 units for any programs that the schools have. Now colleges can have ~~free labor~~ students make iPhone and iPod applications that can be released to the mass market, as well as learning how to program specifically for the platforms.
