I keep looking at it and I know that I need to spend some serious time with this fantastic piece of hardware again.

Some things I’d like to see happen, some time soon …

Here’s my little app wishlist so far …

I’d like to see the IFTTT (iTunes link) app go universal and work properly on the iPad as it just doesn’t cut it running it in 2x mode.
I’d also like to see IFTTT come to Android as well, as I think it’d be an interesting way to cross platforms and automate from iOS to Android and into the real world etc.
I can’t wait for the next version of the Editorial app for iPad. I mentioned this only a few days ago as an app that I’m already very impressed with. I’m looking forward to seeing the workflow directory directly in the app itself, that’s going to be so useful.
Whilst on the subject of the Editoral app, I’d like to see it go universal and come to the iPhone as I think it would be amazingly useful.
Continuing with apps, one of the best email apps for iOS (iPhone, not universal) is Dispatch (iTunes link) in my opinion, and I’d love to see it go universal as I think it would work brilliantly on the iPad, especially the iPad mini.
Finally, I’d like to see Zapier bring their service to iOS as well. Even though it’s more business focused than IFTTT I think it would be useful.

So that’s my little list for now. I wonder what I’ll get from that list?

Android Inventor 2 has arrived

Posted by ashleyelsdonon December 5, 2013in Tech

I’ve messed about with Android App Inventor since it’s very early days, when Google brought it out and made it available to the public. Then of course it moved off to MIT who’ve done a great job with it so far, and now it’s finally done away with the download and files you need to install. It’s now all in the browser at last. I’m looking forward to trying it out at last.

The only downside is that at the moment there’s no easy way to port projects from App Inventor ‘Classic’ to the new version. Still, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I think that this is amazing

Time’s up for my 3G, or is it?

Posted by ashleyelsdonon September 20, 2013in Tech

It’s a long time coming, and perhaps this is the last time around for this old device. I decided to give up the idea of a dual boot device and reset the whole thing to just use iOS. That is, iOS 4.2.1 !

Nothing new then!

But hopefully that’ll speed it up a bit and mean that I can do something useful with it. Time will tell.
