With the new version’s release imminent (we submitted to Apple last Wednesday), I thought I’d provide an update and outlook for App Popular. I’m going to hold off on sharing details of the two new app discovery features we’ve added to 1.1 until it’s actually live in the App Store, but I do believe we’re laying the groundwork for something useful to people who love and use iPhone and iPod Touch apps.
For those unfamiliar with it, App Popular (for the iPhone and iPod Touch) lets you easily browse all 77 App Stores by country and category. Read more…

Mark On Call(TM) 2.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a major update to the incredibly popular interior design app, makes sharing even easier! Now room designs can be published and stored on the Web where owners of the application can peruse the new “Rooms Gallery”, an aggregated area of all users’ published rooms. From directly inside the app, users can download, customize and apply the room designs of others to their own personal space. The gallery lets users backup rooms, move rooms to another floor plan, create room templates, and collaborate with other designers, clients, friends, family, or Mark On Call users. Read more…

America needs a goal.
Something positive that brings us together.
Something tangible and something measurable.

I feel compelled to share the feedback I received from the iPhone Developer Program for my new iPhone app. If the information helps just one developer get approved more quickly, it will have indeed been worth it!

So without further ado, here’s the potentially time-saving tip: Read more…

Boxcar is a new iPhone application that sends push notifications for Twitter. When someone DMs or @replies you, you will get a push notification in the form of a a text box and a sound notification. Tweets pushed to you can be opened in Tweetie or Twitterrific for now, with support for more apps coming soon.

It’s not real time push as notifications take about a minute to be pushed to your iPhone but it still works great. The only downside I see in this app is that these push notifications can quickly become overwhelming if you have many people @replying or DMing you. For someone like me, Twitter push notifications make my ADD even worse…
