We are happy to announce the newest version of iDogYears. This is a simple program that converts dog years into human years. It uses the canines actual weight plus the actual age to determine the age. You can install this app by going to this link at the iTunes App store.

Apple Insider has a nice preview of the next version of Apple's Xcode IDE. Xcode 4 was previewed at WWDC, Apple's developer conference earlier this month. I have been developing applications in Xcode for a little over year, and it looks like it fixes a lot of the complaints that I and other developers have had about xcode 3 who have used Visual Studio.

One of the biggest changes is that Interface Builder is no longer a separate application, it is built into Xcode. Another one of that changes is that there is a single window for the whole IDE. You can open up your header file and implementation file at the same time.

I know this will make the Ruby developers happy, Xcode 4 supports git. Apple is also adding a timeline viewer so you can use a time machine like slider to look at you code changes as well as side by side comparisons of the different versions of the file.

I am very excited about this release of Xcode.

Right now I only have one application on the Apple App Store, but I am planning on releasing more applications. According to Apple, iPhone applications will run unmodified on the iPad. Apple released a new SDK for the iPhone and iPad today.

The new iPhone/iPad SDK is version 3.2. Many speculated it would be version 4.0, but they may be saving those features for this Summer. The iPad will cost $499, $599 and $799 for the WiFi only versions, and $629, $729 and $829 for the WiFi/3G versions. Flash memory sizes will range from 16 GB to 64 GB.
