I would like to welcome you to join the new Palm Beach iPhone Developer Network! I have organized this group due to the fact that no active iPhone Development groups exist in my immediate area.

I usually travel an hour and  a half to the South Florida iPhone Development Group in Miami Beach. I have no plans to stop going to their meetings because they always have great presenters and great meeting topics but rather I would like to supplement their meetings with our own local ones. I know for a fact that there are iPhone developers in the West Palm Beach area and I’m trying to get us all together.

If you are in the area please sign-up and also help spread the word to friends and colleagues so we can make this a successful meet-up group. If you are interested in presenting to our group or if you are a vendor whose product(s) and/or services would be beneficial to the group please contact me directly.

Here’s the Review:

Speak EZ (keyvisuals.com)
Price: Free

Description: Remember the Speak N’ Spell? Remix DJ does,
and they’ve done a virtual version for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Pros: A wide selection of phrases, plus the alphabet and numbers 0-9
for your to trigger.

Cons: The buttons are a bit small, and response sometimes lags.

But for free, it’s not much to complain about. You also can’t circuit bend it
like a real SnS; but, that’s what xternal effects are for.

Verdict: You win.

Recently I was a little bummed by the response time of my Word Press administration panel. It was just sluggish and really starting to get on my nerves so I jumped on twitter and made this tweet, looking for a speedier web host. I’ve been using GoDaddy hosting for years and have never had a problem but for whatever reason their shared hosting seemed to be holding me back in WordPress.

I got a few helpful replies and some suggestions on new WP hosting sites. I wasn’t really thrilled at the though of having to migrate my website to an entirely different host. Fortunately my tweet captured the attention of GoDaddyGuy on Twitter! (Specifically Alon.) We discussed my issues and he suggested that I try their new Grid Hosting Plans. Well to make a long story short I took his suggestion and was up and running again in no time at all.

I have to say that I immediately saw a remarkable improvement in the responsiveness of my WordPress admin. Not only that but my blog pages were loading on my iPhone way faster than they ever had. I have not had any downtime since moving to the Grid Servers even though they are currently in Beta and have run into no bugs within my website hosting panel. FTP to my site remains blazingly fast and like I mentioned earlier my page load times have noticeably decreased.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU! to GoDaddyGuy for his outstanding customer service and dedication. I mean who am I? just some guy posting my woes on twitter, but he stepped in and guided me smoothly through every step of the way. He has more than renewed my faith in the quality of GoDaddys service and I can now honestly say they are my number one choice for web hosting. I’ll be recommending them to all my present and future clients.

Not everyone will need the speed and scalability of Grid Hosting but if you run a WordPress blog, especially one that is highly trafficted, you should seriously consider signing up.

Also, they provide the GameSalad Viewer which starts out as an xcode project that you can compile and run on your ipod/iphone. It allows you to test your games natively on your device. This also seems to be a straightforward process. From inside the GameSalad Editor you choose to launch your project for iPhone and as long as your desktop and device are connected to the same wifi network the game is installed and runs on your device.

I should note that anyone can download and begin creating games with the GameSalad Project Editor for FREE. But you need a membership in order to get access to the GameSalad viewer which is really essential to testing the performance of your games.

There is also a PRO membership for $1999/yr but from what I can tell currently the only differences between the Express & the Pro memberships are the ability to change the splash screen (which for indie membership must remain the Created By GameSalad logo) and the ability to have URL Links embedded in the app. Both are worthwhile features that I would very much like to have but at this point I’m not willing to part with an additional $1900. You can add your own splash screen after the GS Logo if you wish anyway. The Pro membership also comes with some support incidents but they provide documentation, user support forums and a how-to wiki.

I’m excited to dive into the world of games and GameSalad is the most cost effective way I have found for a rank amateur like myself to get started in game development. I should mention that recently Unit 3d has released a free version but it is significantly more complex. Unity’s features are much more robust but the learning curve from what I hear is huge.

RemixDJ: Spice up your set with these free samples

” The iPhone is so much more than a phone that you can now even integrate it into live electronic music. This simple app aims to provide DJ’s with a bevy of samples to use while playing a set. The audio quality is excellent and the simple trigger button means there is no lag between button pressing and the sound being played, so you be sure you don’t mis-time your triggers. All of the samples are royalty-free, so you can use them in all of your endeavors – even if you’re already a superstar DJ and playing in front of thousands of people. There’s nearly 200 sounds available, so there’s plenty of choice and variation. This app is very honest; it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is. If you want to get a boat-load of samples for free and use them for fun or even public performance, then it’s perfect.”

Verdict 4 stars Best for: DJs

Wow, just wow! My apps have now been downloaded more than 2 Million Times by people in over 50 countries.  Back in April I broke the 1 Million Mark which I thought was completely amazing. Now I have more than doubled that accomplishment. THANK YOU to all who have downloaded and enjoyed my apps! This definitely encourages me to continue creating fun & useful apps.

The stats are courtesy of Pinch Media Analytics. The service is free and provides a ton of useful information. Pinch provides stats such as: Total unique users, Total sessions, Total jailbroken users, Total cracked users, Total Time Spent Using the App, Device Type, OS version and More. If you are a developer and you are not using any type of analytics package then you are just foolish.

Below are the three main apps which helped me to break 2 Million Unique Downloads:

iCandyPix, iCandyPix 2 and the 3.0 Version of Peanut Butter Jelly Time (which was the first version of PBJTime to have analytics embedded) were all released after I broke the 1 Million Mark. Unfortunately for me all three of these apps were FREE soooo I am NOT a millionaire. Don’t feel too bad for me though, most of my free apps are ad supported and have earned a good amount of revenue.

Just for fun here are a few more stats on these three apps:

Peanut Butter Jelly Time has been used 2,224,168 times, out of those 17,961 were run on a jailbroken device. The total time users spent playing with PBJTime comes out to roughly 16 years 149 days 13 hours 18 minutes 52 seconds.

iCandyPix has been used 2,548,390 times, out of those 97,650 were run on a jailbroken device. The total time users have spent using iCandyPix comes out to roughly 10 years 358 days 11 hours 23 minutes 33 seconds.

iCandyPix 2 has been used 442,829 times, out of those 15,723 were run on a jailbroken device. The total time users have spent using iCandyPix 2 comes out to roughly 1 year 338 days 16 hours 21 minutes 15 seconds.

(Please NOTE: The Peanut Butter Jelly Time App is No Longer available due to a disagreement between myself and the supposed originator of PBJ Time.)

Keyvisuals has teamed up with ill Will PReSS to bring the Neurotically Yours Series to the iPhone & iPod Touch. Neurotically Yours is a hugely popular flash cartoon series animated by Jonathan Ian Mathers.

Writers Block, the first official Neurotically Yours App is a mini-comic that was never released. It chronicles the very early days of the relationship between the goth poet Germaine and her pet squirrel Foamy.

Neurotically Yours : Writers Block is available now for FREE!

Here’s another gem from their website . . . “Apple has chosen to allow a multitude of ridiculous, worthless, poorly-represented applications through its “strict” screening process, nearly all written by mediocre programmers with a dream of getting rich quick.”

So what does Appulous do with these ridiculous, worthless, poorly-represented applications? They distribute them to anyone who wants them for free. Wait, what?

I guess piracy is the greatest form of flattery ?!?!

I also found a torrent for this same app ( damn, it must be popular!) . . .

Even cooler, after I did a little more searing around I found that the article had been translated into two different languages (one which I think is Chinese and the other I’m not sure but seems like it may be middle eastern) and posted on different foreign blogs.

Just in case the links go down I took screen shots (below)
