Ten One Design is planning to release a free software library that adds pressure sensitive and palm rejection recognition for Cocoa Touch applications.
I pretty quickly tired of the bright, busy background images for the wallpaper, and so created a few in Acorn.
The orange one mostly matches my Incase Metallic Slider Case, but I’m using the last right now. It’s nicely muted and looks great behind the icons and text.
Update: Since then, I’ve made a version I’m even happier with, for iPhone, iPad, and iPhone 4, based on one done by Marco.
Some very subtle and ideal iPhone wallpapers.
Orientation locking!
It has become increasingly annoying that my smart playlists from iTunes do not sync properly with my iPhone. As it turns out, this is a known issue to Apple and they have been, or possibly not, trying to fix this since the beginning of 2009.
After writing a bloody feedback rant to Apple, I also contacted Steve Jobs, quite bluntly in fact, (at an email address I do not know if it is his):
Subject: iPhone Smart Playlists Sync Bug
This issue is known for quite a while now and I am honestly getting sick about it not being resolved.
Would be great if a fix could be rolled out this week.
I doubt he will actually answer, but wouldn’t it be great if a fix would actually be pushed out in the coming week. Hope…
If I do not see an update in the next week, I will walk into the Apple Store and request that I get my money back. And I will get it back.
Update: After playing with iTunes, I found a fix which seems to work … at least partly. For the smart playlists that you want iTunes to sync, turn off the Live Updating in the playlist settings.
