Hi, I am iTunes. I feel like … puff puff … pant pant. I am busy. No, it’s not the spring. I am really busy. What I do?

  • Play songs
  • Synch with ipods/iphones/apple tvs
  • Get covers/titles from the internet
  • Manage podcasts (what an effort!)
  • Sell songs
  • Rent movies
  • Play streaming radio
  • Soon I will sell iPhone apps

Darn! Stevie. Nobody helps me. Can’t you devise a new software to do some of my duties?

    Stumble with Safari (the easy way)

    I started using stumbleupon. I like it! But I also like Safari. As you might know there is no Safari bar (just for firefox and the other well spread browser). I often have the need to stumble a url, to simply state that it is my favorite. So I created a bookmarklet. I added a new bookmark in my bookmark bar, whose link is:

    javascript:location.href=’http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=’+encodeURIComponent(location.href)

    Any time I click the button I submit the url to my favorites. Nice uh?

    Adobe Air already on iphone (sort of)

    I started developing in Flash, doing websites. I then moved to Flash mobile (before the introduction of flite) and developed a mobile guide for a research project. When Flex was presented I didn’t dive into it, because I was busy with other projects and languages. When Adobe Air (introduced as Apollo) was released I started experimenting again. When I heard of the iphone I thought: “This is the platform of the future!”. But I felt disappointed when Steve confessed he didn’t like Flash on the iphone. Now I am simply thinking:

    • isn’t iphone running Safari? Yes
    • isn’t Safari based on webkit? Yes
    • aren’t Adobe Air application partly running on webkit? Yes, if developed in javascript/html.

    So? I think it is not far the moment that ad Adobe Air application will run on the iPhone.

    Flash Player on iPhone

    Tags: flash, iphone

    What a great news! Looks like Adobe is already implementing a flash player for the iphone. I was having a look at the iPhone sdk and was fascinated by its features. But this is a good news. Steve was lamenting there is a gap between the Flash player and its lite version. Let’s hope the gap will be filled soon! I was tempted to port Posty to the iphone. Maybe I don’t need to to that and I can focus on new features.  
    Update: check here and here.
