I’m a Mac?
Inspired by the recent rather uninspiring Microsoft campaign (I’m a PC), and the prospect of hacking together an application for the Apple iPhone, I’ve just splashed out on a MacBook.
John McKerrell has been posting recently on his experience developing an iPhone application for the ‘Free The Postcode‘ project – the project aims to build a free collection of UK postcodes (why?).
Interestingly, I found John’s application surfing the application store on my iTouch; it’s a smart move by Apple to put such consideration into providing a market place and distribution channel for application developers. John has shared the download stat’s for his FreeThePostcode app…a staggering 3000 downloads in just a couple of months – for an application that targets a niche audience – all very impressive.
Matthew Somerville has also built a similar iPhone application for FixMyStreet.
