Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Louis Gerbarg of devwhy nails it: If Adobe actually wants to persuade Apple to support Flash on iPhone (either as a plugin or compiled to native apps), I know how they can do it. They can get an awesome, high performance, Flash environment working on Android, and get a bunch of great Flash apps running on […]

Comments Off on Volume of app downloads on iTunes over 10x greater than on BlackBerry App World
RIM CEO Jim Balsillie revealed today that RIM’s BlackBerry App World has about 20 million registered users who download approximately 1 million apps daily.

Comments Off on Apple as a moral authority, keeping porn off the iPhone
There are so many Steve Jobs emails these days it’s becoming tough to keep up. One particularly noteworthy exchange that we missed last week happened in the wake of Apple’s rejection, and subsequent acceptance, of Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Mark Fiore’s iPhone app, NewsToons.
