Lots of exciting things coming together with the litl OS and SDK. The team has been growing as well as the developer community. A new batch of litl webbooks shipped and many went to developers eager to build Flash channels for the OS. We have a very busy summer planned and we are on schedule [...]
Lightroom 3 is awesome. So much fun enhancing photos.
My work-to-fun ratio with software reached about 50 to 1 many years ago. I stopped playing PC games and have spent almost all of my time using software for coding (admittedly fun – sometimes) and for work and personal productivity. The timing was good to see this tweet last week just days after I off [...]

Twitter making its own apps concerns developers
My HTC Intredible shipped with a Twitter app built-in called Peep. It was cool, but lacked some polish I enjoy with Seesmic’s Twhirl AIR app on my desktop. Being new to Android, I didn’t realize that features like taskbar notifications were available to other apps — so I was really impressed when I saw a [...]
HTC Incredible Android in hand
I am very excited to finally be an Android user. This is my first non-Windows Mobile phone since 2005. That’s right, between the Samsung i730, MotoQ and Samsung Omnia, I’ve been relying on Windows as my mobile OS for 6 years. The lack of available apps has left me frustrated and the performance, touch and [...]

Is it Apple or game developers that deserve the credit?
A lot of numbers, reports and success stories have been coming out about Apple’s growth and recent dominance in the mobile game space. They’ve been stealing some serious market share from mobile game powerhouses Nintendo and Sony. Since Apple owns the products and processes for playing and distributing the games, I understand why the big [...]
