AppCode: upcoming Objective C IDE by JetBrains →

AppCode is the upcoming Objective C IDE by the same company that does Intelli-J for Java and Resharper for C# and Visual Studio. While at WWDC, Saul tracked down the AppCode team for a short discussion on JetBrains’ plans for AppCode and what you can do to help make AppCode the IDE you want to see.

The Intelli-J IDE for Java is very popular among my fellow developers who do Java. You can download a early version of AppCode trough the Jetbrains website.

Sparrow 1.3 is a major update →

sparrowmail:

Sparrow 1.3 has been submited to the Mac App Store. Our little bird is now fully compatible with Lion OS X and takes advantage of the cool new things Apple brought to the Mac. Here is a quick tour of the new features and improvements you should be able to play with in a few days.

I’m not a fan of the extended sidebar but other then that all awesome improvements. The view source is a welcome addition and I especially like the Drag en Drop support throughout. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Taylor Martin switched back to an iPhone →

As much as I love the Android platform, it’s time for a break. In the past year, I’ve owned over 25 Android devices, both tablets and phones. I eat, sleep and breathe Android at the moment, and it’s time to take a step back and diversify. Being on another platform is a welcomed change. Fear not, faithful followers. I still have an Android phone that I will use on a daily basis, but it will not be my primary.

So that’s where all those Android device activations come from. (via Daring Fireball)

Licensing webOS →

Ross Rubin:

That leaves LG. Once touted as Microsoft’s premiere hardware partner for Windows Phone 7, it was left out in the cold when the folks in Redmond signed their blockbuster deal with Nokia. LG has been behind Samsung in both the Android and burgeoning Windows Phone market, and is less of a threat in the laptop and printer market than Samsung. However, like Samsung, LG is a high-volume manufacturer of TVs, a complementary market for HP, which only dabbled in the TV market years ago.

A very interesting observation. I wasn’t really convinced licensing would be beneficial but if they were to go the licensing route LG would indeed be a perfect match.

webOS shuffle →

Nilay Patel:

Stephen DeWitt is now the senior vice president of webOS, replacing Jon Rubinstein, who’ll “assume a product innovation role” in HP’s Personal Systems Group, which encompasses webOS. DeWitt will be in charge of everything webOS from engineering to marketing, so this is a major change at the top

Not sure if this is a good thing but time will tell.

A Walk in the Woods With Mark Zuckerberg →

“He pointed out Apple’s headquarters, then Hewlett-Packard and a number of other big tech companies,” the individual explained. “Then he pointed to Facebook and said that it would eventually be bigger than all of the companies he had just mentioned, and that if I joined the company, I could be a part of it all.”

Flickr Push API →

The 20,000 ft overview is basically this:

You make an API call to Flickr asking to subscribe to one of several different photo feeds, providing a callback URL in the arguments. A little verification dance ensues during which we make a request to your callback URL. If you respond appropriately we’re all good and from then on… Live(-ish) updates are POSTed from Flickr to your callback URL in Atom 1.0 format.

I’s no secret that I love Flickr. I can’t wait to play around with this new API and possibly include it in some of my projects. So what about that iPad app?
