Data Plans and App Size

Was listening to MacBreak Weekly this week and heard Alex mention that the Apple store was changing the limit of over the air updates to 50mb which made a lot of sense given the new requirements that Apple has added to all apps on the app store.  From here on out you have to include […]

The Neu iPad

Well, I was able to sell my old 64GB AT&T 3G iPad and have ordered the top of the line 64GB AT&T 4G/LTE iPad.  Gotta have a test machine to address the new Retina display.  Over at ApApp, Inc. we are working on a game and the new iPad is really going to make the […]

Free vs. Paid in the AppStore

One decision you need to make when you are developing an app is how do you monitize it. I won’t talk about pricing specifically in this post, but on the decision should you charge a user to buy your app. Let’s think thru a couple of options you have: Paid app – if you have […]

iCloud update

After watching a ton of coverage yesterday about apple’s big announcement, one thing fell thru the cracks… The update to iCloud now will allow you to redownload your movies. Of course this is not completely true, since not all of the movie studios are allowing it, but we are one step closer to having total […]

Apple

Today’s Big Announcement from Apple

I am writing this post hours before Apple’s big announcement, and it seems that the rumor mills are finally slowing down.  We can expect a new Apple TV (will it support Apps??), and the iPad HD.  Things will be faster, higher resolution, and more RAM.  From a developer perspective I think the most important aspect […]

Security and your Mobile App

There’s an interesting perspective when it comes to mobile apps, people writing games don’t necessarily think about security. Enterprise app developers must consider security in their apps. And if you are developing social apps, security is even more important, there is no faster way to kill a social platform than to violate your users trust […]

Windshield Time

Years ago I worked for an experienced data processing manager. The fact that the job was in data processing should indicate the I am now an experienced IT professional. My manager would come up with these complex development problems and never give me time to actually think about how to come up with solutions. After […]

Sustain a bull – Apps?

Was grabbing my daily coffee at my favorite coffee shop BeanTraders, and saw a pamphlet on the counter for the “Sustain a Bull” program. David and Christy, the owners, have evidently joined this program to help support local businesses. (For more information go check out their website at Sustain a Bull. This got me thinking, […]

The Gauntlet has been thrown

Ok, not sure why today is asking for more than one post, but TechCrunch has thrown down the glove! They are challenging our east coast startups – here . It’s posts like this that showcase the problem that we here at triangleappshow are trying to address. While we love techcrunch and their all things tech […]
