Speaker at the next Brighton iPhone Creators Meetup

07.09.2010 0

As per the title, I’m going to be speaking about iPad Development at the next Brighton iPhone Creators Meetup. Here are a few details about the event:

Presenting: iPad Development: New Challenges and Opportunities for iPhone Devs

When: Tuesday 21st @ 7pm

Where: The Skiff, 6 Gloucester Street, Brighton, BN1 4EW

I’ve been primarily asked to talk about iPad development so that’s going to be the main feature in my 20/30 min presentation. How iPad development creates new challenges (User Experience, Development for multiple iDevices etc) and opportunities for iPhone Devs (increased sales, AppStore rankings).

I’m also planning to share some of my experiences of developing for the AppStore such as tips on how to improve your app reviews and ratings and how to avoid some of the mistakes I’ve already made :-)

That’s it for now… Gotta get on with my latest app idea :-)

Portfolio to Go for Flickr

09.07.2010 0

Portfolio to Go for Flickr has just been approved for sale by Apple and is now availabile for iPad on the App Store.

A recent winner of Apple’s ‘iPad App of the Week’ award, Portfolio To Go features an elegant and intuitive photo-wall giving users instant access to all of their Flickr photosets: scroll each gallery horizontally to browse thumbs, scroll vertically to traverse through all synced galleries.
The main purpose of Portfolio To Go is to enable photographers to present their portfolio offline to clients – perfect for use with iPad wi-fi: just sync and go. Photographers create and edit photosets on Flickr.com and Portfolio To Go acts as a presentation tool, keeping in sync with all your Flickr changes.

Portfolio To Go supports all iPad rotations so can be flipped vertically for portraits and horizontally for landscapes.

Another unique selling point of this app is the ‘Send Portfolio to a Client’ feature. The Photographer picks and chooses which of his galleries to share and can then send an auto-generated email to clients and friends containing a free download link to ‘Portfolio To Go Player’ iPad App. By clicking the emailed link clients launch the photographer’s portfolio on their own iPad(s).
