[backstage] iPod touch // iPhone development
Those of you who might be keeping an eye on the next big thing, and who are in London, might want to know that the Apple Store in Regent Street has a slew of iPod Touch units available to play with. There are developer kits available on the web, but if you want to give your new app a quick test on a real iPod Touch, they are all connected to the instore open wifi. You might have to queue to have a quick play. They're really *very* nice. The screen is incredibly good, and the user interface is stunning. (They're sold out, mind, until early next week. They'll be in all Apple UK stores on September 28th, and available online for then.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamescridland/1413260855/ shows my first, blurry, test of a media website near you. It almost displayed perfectly. Worth mentioning that many companies have a corporate deal with Apple allowing you money off. For those within the BBC, a flash of your ID card when purchasing will suffice; I believe the government have similar, as do bona-fide Virgin employees. There are also discounts for students. -- http://james.cridland.net | http://www.mediauk.com Media UK is a Not At All Bad Ltd production. Company info: http://www.notatallbad.ltd.uk/

I really wanted to like it, but found the interface a little bit too sluggish; the accelerometer didn't always recognise me turning it over, and I found typing to be a right pain. It is very shiny though... I had a gander at the new toys at the shop in Regent Street. Very thin, shiny - albeit covered in fingermarks - and a feat of good design. Tempting, but I think I'll stick with the 5G iPod I bought last year. (Also, the people of Glasgow either don't seem to have realised - or are too polite - to clog up the MacBooks and iMacs checking their email, or online banking, or the like. Quite handy if you actually want to buy something.) Bleeding 'eck.
