Here’s the post.‘ It basically goes like this:’ Apple has said it is increasing its embedded device list this year.’ Ten-inch touch screens seem to be flying around Asia en route to Apple for late Summer.’
If there is a tablet with higher resolution/independence, developers are going to need a few months to tweak their apps for launch.” What if that $20 minimum Premium App Store happens to be for higher resolution apps?
Also, ARM’s new line of Cotex A8 architecture processors are tablet-worthy.’
Plus, I need something to look forward to…So here’s why we might see a tablet intro tomorrow.
Speaking of which, we’ll have the 9to5mac LivePanel open for the iPhone 3.0 Event.’ Stop by to see all information sources in one page.

iPhone OS 3.0 is coming, preview on March 17th: “
We just got the announcement, iPhone OS 3.0 is coming. Set your clocks, mark your calendars. It’s going down March 17th. Apparently, we’ll get a sneak peak at the new OS, as well as a look at a brand new version of the SDK. Exciting stuff indeed, and we’ll be there live at 10am PST (1pm EST) with the liveblog. Apple’s calling this an ‘advance preview of what we’re building,’ so we’re not expecting anything ready to go as of the 17th, but hopefully this will allow developers to start building toward future functionality (hey, how about some push notifications?), and presumably users won’t have too many months to wait after that for the real deal.

TUAW Bookshelf: iPhone in Action: “
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, iPhone, iPod touch, TUAW Bookshelf
I’ve never found book reviews to be terribly helpful — technical book reviews even less so, as how one learns differs from person to person. Some iPhone devs out there learned simply by poring over Apple’s copious documentation. Others have been poking at the iPhone’s innards since pre-SDK days, learning as they went from forums and good old hacking. But once the NDA lifted, the floodgates of iPhone dev books opened.
Each book and each publisher has a different angle both in content and presentation. Each book may appeal to different people and different learning styles with different backgrounds (not to mention the numerous sites, blogs and video resources out there beyond what Apple provides). Over the course of 2009 we’ll be taking a look at some books in a new series called TUAW Bookshelf. We won’t just be covering developer resources, either. There’s a wide world of Apple-related reading out there, so stay tuned as we pull from our personal libraries and share our thoughts on what’s available.
To kick things off I read iPhone in Action by Christopher Allen and Shannon Appelcline, published by Manning. I wound up reading this first because one of the authors threw a few copies at me while at Macworld (sorry, I don’t know who you are and I can’t seem to find your business card!). We’ve got a few to give away, but look for that in another post this month.
iPhone in Action is designed to be a soup-to-nuts intro to almost everything you can develop for the iPhone. This includes web apps, which was the book’s main focus until the SDK was announced while they were writing. I don’t think shifting focus to the SDK is a bad thing, and as near as I can tell it didn’t hurt the content. In fact, I thought this book would make an excellent primer to Apple’s mobile platform efforts. Having taught technology for six years, I can say this is the book I’d use for a 100-level course in developing for the iPhone. I’m not saying it will make you into an expert overnight, and I’m not saying you can’t come to the table with zero dev experience, but as a starting point, it is wonderful. To find out why, keep reading…
