iPhone Gaming A Hot Niche for Startups

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It was almost inevitable. iPhone is too good of a device, and iPhone platform is just too hot right now for entrepreneurs from around the world to take advantage. Washington Post is reporting that Ngmoco has received funding to develop games for the iPhone platform. But that’s just a start. You can expect other smaller companies to join Ngmoco to get a piece of the pie. If you are an iPhone developer, the market is red hot right now and one should assume that the salaries for these guys are going to go up exponentially. But the real money is in startups!

Beatmaker Application for iPhone

Are you in the mood to make real music on your iPhone or iPod touch? If so, then you should definitely try BeatMaker music application for iPhone. BeatMaker is a pocket size music studio that allows you to compose and work on your music ideas right on your iPhone. I have played with this application a little bit, and I got to say that it’s pretty impressive. I am terrible in music, so essentially it will sit on my phone doing nothing, but if music is your thing, then you should definitely give Beatmaker a try.

Wordpress Comes to iPhone

Blogging with Wordpress has just become much easier with the new iPhone application, which is by the way free as well.

I personally like the auto recovery post which allows you to recover a post that was interrupted by a call. It’s not for heavy blogging, but if you are at a conference or there is a piece of news you have to have on your blog, then it’s very handy. Here is the link to Wordpress iPhone 3G Application.

Dell to Challenge Apple’s iPod Line

Dell is the latest company trying to take a crack at iPod’s dominance in the music market. These companies such never learn. Whether it’s Sony, Microsoft, or now Dell, these guys keep coming up with subpar products and expect their brands to do the job for them. Zune would’ve been a great device 5 years ago, but by being about 5 years behind its time, Zune is just not worth $230. I certainly hope that Dell will introduce a respectable product.

Apple Fans Getting Uneasy with Apple over MobileMe

MobileMe is really getting on Apple fans these days. You hear about it hear and there on the Internet, and one would think it’s not a big issue. But when it shows up on Digg and gets significant number of votes, then you know Apple fans are getting tired of the whole “Apple pushing MobileMe hard on iPhone” thing. Apple has delivered so much good to its customers that people are willing to give Apple some space to maneuver, but even Apple customers have a threshold of patiene, and Apple is close to going over the threshold by pusing their buggy MobileMe service. So if you are, too, tired of Apple’s antics with MobileMe, then drop a vote on the DIGG page.
