Unboxing so not porn worthy. Developer unit came in a plain white cardboard box. Initially thought it was smaller than my iPhone 3G. Then I realised I have a 3rd-party case on my 3G. I’d forgotten how slim the iPhone really was. G1 feels like a brick in comparison. Slightly rubberised feel to it is good. OMG NEW [...]

The following tweets are one of reasons why I (despite initial misgivings) really enjoy Twitter.
I can’t talk about the actual thing in question until Sunday 28th at the earliest (probably more like Monday). But I’m very excited (as you can tell by the fact it is four AM and adrenaline is still keeping me awake) [...]

I’m really happy to be able to say that TouchCode won the “Best Open Source Project” at iPhoneDevCamp this weekend. The prize was a gift certificate for an iPhone 3G (a big thank you to Apple Phone Show for sponsoring this award). Very awesome.
While it was really gratifying to be recognised by the judges of [...]
