Hey all,
We are excited to announce the recent submission of “Be Mine” to the Apple App Store. Be Mine was originally published under our former company name, Two Bit Software, featuring over 100 unique candy conversation hearts. The first version was built for iPhone OS 2.x and lacked some features we really wanted to implement.
The latest version (1.7) will have additional send features other than simply saving to the device photo album. The send features are:
- save to photo album
- email image attachment
- post to Facebook
send features
The big win for this release is the Facebook Connect functionality. We have been wanting to do a project with Facebook integration for quite some time and this re-release was a perfect opportunity to do just that!
The app will be made available for free and hopefully just in time for Valentine’s Day. We will post an update to this post once available in the store.
Peace.

Researching the state of the mobile web came across this list:
Data as of August 2009. Prior to the Google acquisition of AdMob:
1. Millennial: 45.6 million
2. Yahoo: 36.1 million
3. Google: 31.9 million
4. AOL/Platform-A’s Third Screen Media: 28.6 million
5. AdMob: 25.7 million
6. Microsoft’s MSN Ad Network: 25.4 million
7. Jumptap: 23.4 million
8. Quattro Wireless: 23 million
Interesting to note that Millenial is a Baltimore based company.
How the heck do they have this sortof reach? Baltimore. Seriously.
Here’s the original article:

Some more recent data from Millenial from their most recent SMART Report:
http://www.millennialmedia.com/wp-content/images/SMART/MillennialMedia-SMART-OCTOBER-2009.pdf
- The U.S. Mobile Web grew 1.11% to 64.8M users
- Apple Dominates with over 115,000 app
- Apple saw over 100m downloads per month.
Android and Blackberry followed with 20M and 300k respectively.
This post is really a followup to the last JSON topic post. R&D has been going strong as of late. We have built a nice little prototype for scalable web services using Microsoft WCF for RESTful Web Services. Development and deployment is very straight forward. MS Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 beta provide the necessary project templates and use of 1-click deployment makes it a snap to host on IIS. One of the nicest features using WCF for REST WS is the ability to switch and/or overload resource methods to return XML, JSON or even ATOM feed formats. All this can be done using method attributes. That’s it! Additionally, through proper design and abstraction of data model classes we have built a seamless ADO.NET layer to connect to any data source on the backend.
See http://www.developer.com/article.php/3695436
One the client-side, we have demonstrated a cross-platform jQuery / Ajax library for consuming the REST WS. It works in IE, Firefox and mobile Safari on the iPhone. An Obj-C client library is in the works as I write this post.
More to come on this topic including links, resources and a full report on this effort. Happy coding!
