Apple announced that Lion would be released exclusively through the Mac App Store for $30.

SymbolicLinker is a tiny contextual menu plugin (for Puma through Leopard users) and software service (for Snow Leopard & later users) that, once installed, allows any user to create symbolic links to files inside the Finder. SymbolicLinker does this by adding a contextual menu item to the Finder that generates symbolic links to the selected files. The goal of this product is to decrease users' trips to the Terminal in order to use the "ln -s" command. SymbolicLinker is available in Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. SymbolicLinker by Nick Zitzmann

So, after many days of using DDMS to poke around the Emulator subsystem I saw the way the new com.android.browser activity interacted with the data. I’ve took a TestCase code (which is like PhoneGap for Android, but stripped donw with only the WebView component), and hacked around with the old stickies example so that I can get it to work. So, here’s the steps to do it: Step 1: Create a WebView, similar to the one in the PhoneGap source. Step 2. Get the webSettings, and set the Database Path. The path should be the path to your databases, which will be /path/path/your_package_name/. Joe@Nitobi

Badges in iOS are the de-facto way to communicate new/unread information to users. The SDK allows for setting badges on tab bar items and on the main .app bundle icon. But what if you want to set a badge on a toolbar item? There is no official way to make a badge on a toolbar item, even though you as a developer may want to incorporate a badge. Introducing BarButtonBadge.h, the custom class to easily set a badge on a UIBarButtonItem. The usage is simple and understandable. BarButtonBadge

One of the coolest features of the iPhone SDK is an application’s ability to “bind” itself to a custom URL scheme and for that scheme to be used to launch itself from either a browser or from another application on the iPhone.

With Alien Dalvik 2.0, the majority of Android apps can run unmodified using Android Package (APK) files, says Myriad. That means app developers could, in theory, write apps using in a single standard and run them across all platforms. In theory, of course.

The analysts at Gartner have released a new report today, detailing tablet market trends and forecasts. Not surprisingly, their findings confirm the obvious: the iPad is killing it. According to the firm, the Apple iPad will account for 73.4% of tablet sales worldwide this year, and no other platform besides Android will have more than a 5% share of the market during this time. In addition, Apple will continue to have more than 50% of the tablet market until 2014, according to research VP Carolina Milanesi, a stat that she attributes to Apple’s foresight to create this market in the first place, and Apple’s “superior and unified user experience across its hardware, software and services.” TechCrunch Gartner

- It’s true that you can’t manually manage your application objects’ reference count in iOS applications. There are, however, things you can do to free up memory – the big ones in the 1.x product are closing windows (which releases all UI resources associated with the window) and setting references to a proxy object (like one returned by Ti.UI.createXXX) to null, which will release the resources associated with that object. Why you should stay away from Titanium

If you passed elementary math, you know there’s only so much market share to go around. If Windows Phone goes from a 4.3 percent share to control 20 percent of the market, that means another platforms growth is sure to slow. According to Gartner, Apple’s iOS will be the one to do so, growing from a 16 percent market share in 2010 to just 17 percent in 2015. Meanwhile, Android is poised to maintain control with growth from a 23 percent share in 2010 to a massive 49 percent in 2015, reports Bloomberg. TechCrunch

But what about when you want to make multiple edits using multiple apps? That’s a far more complicated process. And it’s the very problem PhotoAppLink aims to solve.

But with PhotoAppLink-enabled apps, you can simply select another app to use from within your current app. From the PhotoAppLink interface, you tap the app you want to move to and it’s launched for you, photo edits intact.

A window delivers touch events to a gesture recognizer before it delivers them to the hit-tested view attached to the gesture recognizer. Generally, if a gesture recognizer analyzes the stream of touches in a multi-touch sequence and does not recognize its gesture, the view receives the full complement of touches. If a gesture recognizer recognizes its gesture, the remaining touches for the view are cancelled. The usual sequence of actions in gesture recognition follows a path determined by default values of the cancelsTouchesInView, delaysTouchesBegan, delaysTouchesEnded properties: cancelsTouchesInView — [If YES and] If a gesture recognizer recognizes its gesture, it unbinds the remaining touches of that gesture from their view (so the window won’t deliver them). The window cancels the previously delivered touches with a (touchesCancelled:withEvent:) message. If a gesture recognizer doesn’t recognize its gesture, the view receives all touches in the multi-touch sequence. Set ca...
