Thus spake some guy who created an iPhone app and paid blew somehow got Gruber to write about it on his blog. This prompted a ferocious one-day spike in sales for the craplet, but that was it. From the developer: “People assumed that with his review, we had joined the ranks of the rare but [...]

John Gruber : "Hardware and software both matter, and Apple’s history shows that there’s a good argument to be made for developing integrated hardware and software. But if you asked me which matters more, I wouldn’t hesitate to say software. All things considered I’d much prefer a PC running Mac OS X to a Mac running Windows." - Very interesting. There...

... with the iPhone compared to all of Nokia's cellphone business during the recent financial quarter. John Gruber from Daring Fireball saw Joe's post, and with his response laid the smackdown on Joe's analysis. Gruber's post boils down to castigating Wilcox for ignoring Apple's statement of non-GAAP earnings. Basically, Apple's subscription-based accounting for the iPhone spreads...

Jason Snell and John Gruber discuss the software changes. Unfortunately, Apple TV needs much more than a software update. With true HD video, a lot more content on iTunes, and a 3.5-inch hard drive it could be interesting.

John Gruber nails the reason why it's so hard for everyone playing catch-up to the iPhone. Android 2.0, the soon-to-be-released Verizon Droid, and features like turn-by-turn directions in Google Maps should make things interesting. Competition, spawned by the success of the Droid or even the Palm Pre are important for this device category to continue to experience growth and most importantly...

John Gruber wrote an interesting article on Daring Fireball last week about iPhone web apps as an alternative to the App Store. Gruber starts by quoting Peter-Paul Koch who thinks that developers should just bypass the App Store by creating web apps instead of native apps: In order to release an iPhone application without having to submit it to Apple’s insane App Store process,...

I have several more things to say in the Web apps vs. native apps debate, and I’ve decided that a few smaller posts treating just one subject would be the best form. Today we kick off with the Cocoa Touch framework. John Gruber wants me to mention the Cocoa Touch framework. He feels that its excellence is an important factor in the success of native iPhone apps.

... seeing how far developers can push web apps. They're not an alternative to every iPhone app, as John Gruber points out at Daring Fireball , because web apps don't have access to a lot of the iPhone's hardware functions (accelerometer, camera, etc.). On top of that, the Cocoa Touch framework makes native apps not only faster than web apps, but easier to write. Despite all that, Pie...

... policy has been largely relegated to tech sites and developer communities. That’s why, as John Gruber pointed out , it is interesting that Apple’s senior vice-president, Phil Schiller, took the time to discuss the App Store approval process with BusinessWeek. App Store rejection stories, ranging from the incredulous to the downright ridiculous have existed almost as long...
