I just posted MobileCast 2.2.4 Beta drop 113 (the numbers are based upon the svn revision) to the Installer.App via our source. There are 2 significant things about this drop:
1. Were testing out a new icon, the plan is to rotate all the mobilecast icons that have been contributed over the next couple of svn [...]
As of the latest svn drop of mobilecast you can now backup & restore your OPML to podgrove. Once you’ve backed up your opml, it’ll be available at http://www.podgrove.com/opml. You will need to either have podgrove login info in your http session, or you will be prompted for your your podgrove account infomation. If you [...]
This is of little relevance to MobileCast users - you’ll probably only find this post of interest if your building an app and want to reuse some source code from mobilecast.
We have had to switch our license from Apache 2.0 to GPLv3. This is because we are now deriving from the GPLv3 code over at [...]
update: 3/17/08 added images.
Staying up to date with the latest & greatest development snapshots of MobileCast just got a whole lot easier. You no longer need to roll your sleeves up & get dirty with ssh as we now have our very own repository which you can add as a source to installer.app on your [...]
Also in our latest svn drop is the first user visible integration with PodGrove. You can now add feeds to mobilecast via podgrove.com saving you having to type them in on the iphones keyboard. Personally I’ve got pretty used to the iphone keyboard for texting & even doing the occasional email but I’ve always found [...]
Thanks to iphone-insomnia mobilecast is now able to keep wifi active while your podcasts are downloading. Please check out the latest svn.
This means that we will probably have to chance our license from Apache to GPLv3, which is something that I’ve got no issue with given the benefit of this new feature
Apparently I was so awestruck by the new streaming feature in mobilecast that I failed to notice that in recent svn versions it would only stream when your connected via wifi. i.e. rather than playing the downloaded file it’d just ignore it & try streaming it instead
Thanks to jkmullins & cgarson for [...]
I’m extremely disappointed to hear this.
Heaven knows what this will mean for mobilecast. Hopefull the kick isn’t quite as severe as it appears in the video! We might have to resort to playing everything back through safari … or maybe we’ll find another way around this… perhaps we can integrate with the ipod app… or [...]
We were pressured for years to do a PDA, and I realized one day that 90% of the people who use a PDA only take information out of it on the road. They don’t put information into it. Pretty soon cellphones are going to do that - Steve Jobs
Overall this interview is very interesting & [...]
Overall the SDK looks & sounds awesome. This will be a far more productive development environment than what we’ve been using.
At the end of the event I was left with a couple of niggling questions:
1. If I head over to iphone 2.0 beta today, with the SDK can I publish apps into the store.app [...]
