If You Could Ask Someone With A Successful App Anything…
I decided to ask a couple of successful iPhone developers if they would be willing to be interviewed for a podcast I am adding to this site, but I need your help.
I don’t want the podcasts to sound like the audio press releases that I’ve heard on so many blogs. For one, I don’t want these calls to take longer than 15 minutes as I’m an efficiency freak, and I would also like to transcribe the calls.
Phenomenal Unity iPhone Game Engine Offered Free.. Or Is It?
Hi everybody, just wanted to clear something up. I received a message on MSN stating that the popular Unity game engine for iPhone was now being offered for free, this was exciting, and I decided to go check things out. So here’s what’s really going on.

Amazing Xcode Tips Leave Developer In A State Of Shock
Xcode, the IDE provided by Apple for iPhone and Mac development is widely purported by beginning iPhone developers in online forums to be terrible. For awhile I believed the forum trolls, and I accepted that Xcode was a subpar IDE. In months of usage I didn’t think much of it only making a few preference changes enabling little more than code completion. Recently however, I came across a great set of tips that opened my eyes to the possibility that Xcode wasn’t as bad as these newbies (interestingly enough.. mainly Java developers) said.
