Apple has finally approved the free ad-supported version of I Can Has Cneezburger (v1.5), which I submitted on June 15th. This version has all of the improvements of the 99¢ premium version except it has ads from Collider Media. I’ve already submitted a 1.5.1 update of the premium version, which adds a shuffle feature & [...]

I’ve implemented Cheezburger authorization in the next version of ICHC Premium. By logging into ICHC, any LOLs you create in the app will be credited to you and appear in your profile, rather than as ‘dunno source’.
Since I’m still waiting for Apple to approve version 1.5 of the free ad-supported version (which I submitted on [...]

I’m selling my old 16GB white iPhone 3G on eBay. I’ve decided to keep only my original iPhone for development & testing, along with my 3GS.

I’ve just submitted the version 1.5.1 update for ICHC Premium. Apple still hasn’t approved version 1.5 of ICHC ad-supported, so I’m not updating that one yet.
This update has several major enhancements:

Shake to shuffle for random LOLs

Movies show web page immediately instead of click to play graphic

Action sheet no longer shows ’save to [...]

I’m now using OS 3.0’s message UI in ICHC to let you email the actual image rather than just a link. Of course if you’re running 2.x, it will still do it the old way, using mail.app and only send a link.

Since Apple still hasn’t approved the update to the free version, I’ll probably submit [...]

When I was trying out street view on the iPhone, I found an interesting continuity error. I’m sure there are many more.
Go to 5th & Mission in San Francisco. It’s daytime.

Take one step north, and suddenly it’s night.

I’m really enjoying the new shuffle feature I added to ICHC. I can’t wait to release this update. Since Apple still hasn’t approved the update to the free ad-supported version that I submitted at the same time, I’ll probably release this as an update to the premium version first.

I’ve implemented a much-requested feature for the next update to I Can Has Cheezburger: you can now shake the iPhone for a random LOL. It still has a few issues I need to work on before I release it. Hopefully Apple will approve the free version before I’m ready with the next update.

The 99¢ ad-free version of I Can Has Cheezburger (which I submitted on June 15) is now available for sale. You can find it here. Strangely enough, the free ad-supported version, which I submitted at the same time, still isn’t ready for sale.
The new features in this version are:

Use Cheezburger API to submit LOLs [...]

After using the new iPhone 3G S for most of the day, I’m very impressed with the dramatic speed improvement as well as the much better camera. I probably won’t be carrying a point & shoot camera in addition to my D90 any more when I travel.
The new tap to focus feature makes it easy [...]

My iPhone 3G S arrived via UPS at around 13:30 AM this morning. I’ll write a more detailed post later, but I’ve posted my unboxing pictures here.

My initial impression is that it feels much faster. Application launch times are less than half the time as my old iPhone. Tweetie switches tabs instantaneously and web pages [...]

If your iPhone is running 3.0, it’s very easy to enable internet tethering on AT&T’s network with no ugly hacks. First you’ll need to download this carrier settings file from gizmodo.
Next, quit iTunes and enter the following command in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
Contrary to many articles, you don’t need to install a [...]

It looks like Apple is making sure that no iPhone 3G S deliveries will arrive before the official release on Friday. Most online iPhone 3G S pre-orders from the Apple Store shipped yesterday with an estimated delivery date of today (June 17). When the shipments arrived at the Louisville, KY UPS processing center, they were [...]

I’m planning to release a 99¢ ad free version of I Can Has Cheezburger as well as the free ad supported version. I’m debating whether it should also have any pro features not in the free version.
In particular, I’m adding support for the Cheezburger Authentication API, which would allow LOLs submitted by registered users [...]

The ICHC update is just about ready to go, as soon as I verify that it still works in OS 2.2.
After the ICHC update goes out, I’m planning an update to iDjembe. Even though it gets very few sales, I still feel it’s my duty to make it not suck. For the new version, I’m [...]

I Can Has Cheezburger 1.5 is now feature complete, with only a few cosmetic issues to fix before I submit it in the next few days.
New in this version:

Use Cheezburger API to submit LOLs to ICanHasCheezburger.com

Fixed non-working movies by embdding them in a web page, which can be clicked, rather than opening the [...]

One of my favorite desktop applications, Delicious Library, is now available on the iPhone. The iPhone app is free, although it requires the desktop app since you can’t enter data on the iPhone.
If you have the latest version of Delicious Library on your Mac, when you open the iPhone app it will automatically connect and [...]

Mobile Me’s new “Find My iPhone” feature is already live for anyone running an iPhone with 3.0 software. You can locate your iPhone on a map (mine is slightly off) and send a message with a sound. I haven’t tried remote wipe, but I assume it also works.

Unfortunately I have to be home next week, so I’ll be missing out on WWDC. I did get a chance to walk by Moscone West and take photos of Apple’s preparation for the event.

Could this be a prediction of a 32GB iPhone?
