Anthony saw my call for screencasters, and stepped up to the plate. He has created an amazing tutorial for all of you would-be iPhone devs out there! In this screencast, he will show you how to get started, and walk you through creating a simple iPhone App of your very own! It’s not too late for you to submit a screencast to be uploaded to our channels. Click on the link at the beginning of this description for more information.

First, you’ll need to head over to Apple’s Dev Center and download the SDK. This includes the Xcode IDE, iPhone simulator, and a suite of additional tools for developing applications for iPhone and iPod touch. You do not need to buy a developer account – you can use a free one to start with. If you are interested in submitting something to the App Store at some point, you can then look at the membership options.

To create a new iPhone application, you start by creating a new project in Xcode. A project manages all of the information associated with your application, including the source files, build settings, and rules needed to put all of the pieces together. The Groups and Files list is where you manage the files in your project, including your source files and the build targets that are created from those source files. The toolbar gives you access to commonly used tools and commands while the details pane provides a configurable space for working on your project.

The Interface Builder is the next component you will need. It’s the tool that you’ll use to make your App user interface. Using this tool, you’ll assemble your App’s window by dragging and dropping preconfigured components into it. These include standard things like switches, text fields and buttons. Once you put them on the window’s surface, you can move them around, configure them and establish how these interact with your code.

The iPhone Simulator is used to test your App, so that you don’t have to use an actual iPhone. This will save you a load of time, and is very easy to use.

It’s not as difficult to create an iPhone App as you may have thought. With patience and time, anyone can learn how to do these. Once you create something unique that others may want to have, you’ll be able to start earning money on the App Store.

Thanks to Anthony for the excellent tutorial… and good luck to all of you budding iPhone developers!

There have been numerous screencasts submitted over the past couple of weeks. Several of them are very, VERY good! I always knew that our community was full of talented individuals. It’s not too late for you to get involved, and have your screencast featured on this channel! Bwana has been hanging out with us for years, and is even a moderator in my chat room – when he has time! He’s gained quite a following of his own, and rightfully so. He does excellent work, and I’m always more than happy to have him do reviews for us. Today, he sent a screencast to me to give you all an overview of Parallels on the Mac.

When you first launch the software, you’ll only see the first two options: you’ll have to choose between a new Windows installation or to import a virtual machine. Since Bwana had already created a Windows image, he had a third option to use an existing VM.

The New Windows Installation option allows you to set up a virtual machine within Parallels to run inside of Mac OS X. There are several video tutorials online that show you how to set up and use a virtual machine. For the purposes of this video, Bwana chose to set up a new virtual machine in order to show you how it’s done.

Parallels is so easy to use that you can literally install Windows with just three clicks of your mouse. Run Windows programs like native Mac applications side-by-side using Coherence technologies. Gain instant access to your files, folders and data across both operating systems with SmartX technologies. And… you can remotely control your virtual machine using the iPhone application when you’re away from home!

Thanks to Bwana for sending a screencast in to us… and to all of you who are working hard and continuing to send in excellent material. I promise you – we’ll get them all up on our channels!

I hate having super-long USB cables when all I really need is one that’s an inch or two long. It’s such a waste of space, especially when I’m traveling. Thank goodness the folks at ThinkGeek have the iStubz to charge my iPhone with!

The iStubz is only 3 inches long, and I promise that those three inches will satisfy you! It works with any USB-compatible iPod or iPhone, and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. You don’t need cables strung all over Hell and half of Georgia. Using a nice short cable keeps things de-cluttered and organized.

If you’re interested in grabbing the iStubz for yourself – or anything from ThinkGeek for that matter – make sure you take advantage of the ThinkGeek coupons that I have for you. Why pay full price for anything?!

Is this not the cutest thing ever? BeBot is a Robot Voice Synthesizer. Everyone needs one of these, I’m telling you. Not only is it probably one of the better synth apps out there, the cute little robot graphics are just awesome. The App designer, Robert, knew that he had to go a step further before releasing his Synth App – so he enlisted a graphic designer to help.

Bebot is an adorable little thing who lives inside a $2.00 iPhone App. He responds to multitouch with a variety of chirps and whirrs. He even has autotune – just like pop stars use!

You know you’ve wasted far more than two bucks on Apps you ended up hating, right? Go ahead – spend the money to grab BeBot for yourself. You’re going to be like me, and occupy yourself with it for hours on end. Heck, you might actually even smile!

I know that after watching this video, you’re probably as hungry as I am. Who doesn’t love a good BBQ? I personally love to have ribs slow-cooked on the grill all day long. Steaks and chops are right up there as favorites, as well. What do you like to cook out on the Barbeque when you have the chance? And, more importantly, what do you like to cook on the BBQ on your iPhone?

This iPhone application lets you practice what it’s really like to sear animal flesh over fire. Grill some hot dogs like a man – without over or undercooking them – and unlock more advanced meats – like the mighty surf and turf!

If it’s too cold or rainy to go out and fire up the real grill, why not stay indoors and practice on your iPhone or iPod Touch? Get the feel and satisfaction of cooking up some meat, right from your favorite comfy chair.

I was in the middle of getting my tail kicked on this game when I recorded this game. This is an air hockey game for the iPhone. It’s addictive – even if I’m not any good at it! There are several different air hockey games available, so take your pick. You can play them against the computer, or against friends.

I enjoy playing against myself. It’s quite fun to kick my own ass, seriously! I actually did lose to myself at the end of this video. I told you it was coming!

If you have other cool iPhone Apps and games that you know of, just shoot me an email. I’ll be happy to take a look at it.

I recently sent a set of Apps to my friend Bwana, and asked him to review them. The Apps came from SuperApps Online’s website, and include a full suite of things to enhance your iPhone. You’ll find things such as an air horn and information about US Presidents.

The developer, Mark Gurman, is a 15 Year Old High School Student, in California. He loved making iPhone Apps and widgets, so he created a site to be able to share them. He loves teaching things about computers to people, and helping others with their tech questions.

One of the Apps is called simply “Presidents”. It’s only ninety-nine cents. It’s full of information about each of our American Presidents, including their term years, what currency they appear on (if any), and more. This is a great App for students in school who may be studying American History.

Another App is called “Air Sounds”, and is literally full of sounds you might hear in an airplane – even the Air Traffic Control guys!

This is a great bundle of fun little Apps, and could even be educational for you.

It’s time to let go! Actually, it’s time to put your iPhone (or iPod) In Your Face. Sure, you could keep holding your iPhone and give your fingers cramps. Or, you can grab yourself an In Your Face viewcase, and free those fingers up for other things – such as drumming on your desk!

The top clamp is spring loaded, so it will allow your iPhone to fit nicely, whether or not you have a protective case on it. This holder is perfect for hands-free video viewing, or even normal phone usage/talking. It can attach to virtually any surface, including your desk, and airplane tray table, or even your monitor at work!

I don’t know about you, but I get tired of having to hold my phone. And, I don’t like having to remove the case in order to use other types of holders. The In Your Face holder lets me use my iPhone… and be doing something else with my hands. Talk about multi-tasking! I can talk on my phone and still continue to type whenever I need to.

If you need a holder for your iPhone or iPod Touch – or even if you don’t know you need one yet – this is definitely one you want to check out.

I ran the battery on my iPhone almost completely out while downloading tons of cool free Apps! Do you know where you can find all of the free Apps that are out there? How do you know when prices drop on popular Apps? FreeAppAlert keeps a comprehensive list of which Apps have reduced their cost to free!

You can choose to get your alerts in one (or more!) of several ways: email, RSS feed, Twitter or even via their Facebook Fan page. The story behind the site is a simple one: the developer was excited over obtaining a popular city App at no cost when the developer gave it away for a few days in order to promote it. He started thinking about how great it could be if he could be alerted any time a paid App was suddenly free – whether permanently or for a few days. Thus, FreeAppAlert was born!

Every day, they list all the Apps that developers were once selling and are now free. Keep in mind that the price drops may be temporary, so grab them quickly. There are also archives of “recently free” Apps. Some of those may still be free, so keep an eye out there, as well.

Unless you like spending money, you need to make this site a daily stop. You never know how many awesome new Apps you’re going to find, without having to shell out a single penny.

I’m sure you’re still laughing at my impression of a Snow Leopard, in honor of the newest release of Mac OS X. The upgrade is only $30.00, which is an excellent price. You should go out and get it right away, but I’m not sure if you’re ready to install it just yet.

The upgrade was painless. The trick to it is to take the disc out of the sleeve, put it in the drive, and click the Install button… and you’re done. From that point forward, it will show you if your applications are compatible or not.

Some people are saying that Snow Leopard is an awesome upgrade, and others don’t think so as much. I’d say right now, I’m seeing it split pretty evenly. I am enjoying some of the new features, such as Exchange integration on the desktop – it works flawlessly. I haven’t seen much of a speed increase, though. There are some nips and tucks around the operating system. The Finder has been completely re-written, which is awesome.

There are subtle changes, as well. I’m a little leary about putting it on all of my machines. Yes, it’s a great upgrade. The changes are incremental, but I’m not sure if all of my applications are going to be compatible, especially ones that I really need and use. So, I’m going to wait about a month of so to make sure all of my software is updated before I jump in.

What do you think of Snow Leopard? If you’ve installed it already, let me know your thoughts so far. If you have it but haven’t installed it yet – why are you waiting? I’m interested to hear about that, as well.

What’s your favorite input device? Maybe your favorite is your mouse or a track pad. Have you thought about trying something different – maybe a tablet surface, in conjunction with a stylus and a mouse? As long as your computer has a USB port, you can control it using either the stylus or the mouse!

The Genius MousePen Graphics Tablet is likely one of the coolest new gadgets you’ll find. The 6-Inch x 8-Inch working area with the cordless pen and mouse is great for Windows and MAC users to write, draw, sketch or sign emails. Just click the pen on any of the 29 programmable shortcut keys for instant access to Office and Internet functions.

You can use it to enter text in some kind of application on your computer. You can use it to edit photos, or even paint! It’s a pressure-sensitive device – up to 1024 levels, which is a tad tricky to get used to. I did my best trying to demonstrate it!

It’s not only a fantastic media tool for designers, a fun input device for a computer. Improve your hand-eye coordination while using the coolest and hottest new input device.

I love my iPhone, that’s true. You might remember that I didn’t want to get the iPhone back when it first came out. I’ve eaten mountains of crow since that time, and have now accepted the iPhone into my life as my personal digital savior! iPhone OS 3.0 was recently released, and of course I’ve already upgraded. Is the upgrade worth it? Absolutely! There are so many features (some not even documented) are sitting under the interface!

Some of the awesome new features with this version of the os include cut,copy, paste, a landscape keyboard, spotlight search, voice memo recording, and an improved calendar! There are some small bugs, yes. But those I think are more personal preference, rather than actual bugs. I wanted to let you know the things that I feel are completely outstanding updates.

One of the first things you’ll notice is that Voice Memo app. It is relatively high-quality recordings, and it has a lot of features. You can send these to others, and even edit them if need be.

A lot of smaller tweaks in classic Apps are very welcome. For instance, in Notes you can now swipe and then delete a particular note. It also syncs through Notes back in iTunes. I think it’s cross-compatible with my Exchange account.

You can also have more page open for Apps. You not only have 11 pages, but you can put as many Apps that will fit in your iPhone! I had 300 of them at one point! I used to have to delete them, in order to stay under the threshold allowed. Now I don’t have to worry about it.

Spotlight Search is an amazing addition to the iPhone. Spotlight searches all of your contacts, email, calendars, and notes, as well as everything in your iPod. There really isn’t an App that hasn’t been updated, which is just awesome.

The iPhone no longer auto-corrects swear words! If you want to swear, then by golly you can! This may not seem like a big deal to some people, but to me it is. If I curse, you can believe I meant to. I wasn’t happy that the iPhone wouldn’t let me say the words I intended to say.

All in all, I’m VERY happy with this upgrade. What are your thoughts on the new iPhone os 3.0? Are you using it yet? Do you love it – and why? Do you hate it? If so, uh… have you really used it? No matter, let me know that, as well.
