iOS 4: Please start your engines.
It is not particularly difficult to figure that Apple will push this release hard. There is some competition out there and we expect Apple to step up the marketing game even more, which should create new ways to ride in Apple’s tailwind to market your application. Make sure you are ready for this opportunity. It’s a growing market that quickly rewards your creativity and innovation.
iPhone 4 Could Propel Apple to 100 million users
It is no secret anymore that Apple is shattering pre-sales records with the new iPhone. Apparently, more than 600,000 phones have been ordered in just one day. What is much more interesting, are the forecasts just how far this new phone can go. Morgan Stanley’s Katy Huberty thinks Apple may be able to expand its user base to 100 million iPhone owners and users. She believes that about 42 million fourth-generation iPhones could be sold by the end of the year.
Creating a document centric iPhone/iPad application with own file format using ZipArchive
If I need to predict one thing about where the App Store is heading to, now that the iPad has been released, I would say “It’s going to be less about farting apps and much more about productivity apps” Yes - the iPad has already changed the game drastically - with an almost real life size keyboard, large beautiful screen and file sharing direct in iTunes you can achieve much more than before. But hey, iPhone OS 4.0 is just around the corner, and I bet one of those new features will be the same file sharing you get on the iPad.

iPhone In Action Book – Free Chapter Downloads
Manning Publishing has started their MEAP (Manning Early Access Program) for the book I am working on. What this means for you is FREE DOWNLOADS. There is currently only one chapter available, but there will be more as the book progresses.
The chapter currently available is about audio recording and playback. It goes into detail about the AVAudio frameworks as well as the MPMediaPlayer.
Floodgates opened for iPhone development
For as active as iPhone application development community is, achieving success in iTunes has been an elusive affair for those who participate in this vertical. The two main obstacles presented to anyone who wants to create an iPhone applications are: one, finding resources/developers with the right skill set; and two, marketing the application after the application has been submitted. The bad news is Apple keeps iTunes a black box. Unless your application has been reviewed or mentioned on review sites or blogs, no one will be able to find your application outside of iTunes. This makes marketing your application relatively difficult. Here's the good news: the cost to build an iPhone application should come down substantially as it no longer requires a developer with an exclusive knowledge to a specific technology to build an application for iPhone.

Objective-C Tutorial: NSArray
The NSArray is a huge workhorse that we use quite frequently without even thinking about it. The NSArray class isn't just your ordinary array. Not only does it provide random access, but it also dynamically re-sizes when you add new objects to it. While I won't go over every method in NSArray (there are quite a few), I will discuss some of the more important ones that are most commonly used. Let's take a closer look at this class.
