I can't seem to find the article "Losing iReligion" on the Iconfactory blog -- but if the implication is true -- that Iconfactory is claiming their lack of success is a fault of the appstore -- thats a pretty ridiculous implication...for ex

My company's clients are all big banks...and when you get into these places, you wonder, why on earth are they still running on that system? (especially when you are trying to interface with them). I don't know how true this article is, but

No question about it -- and yes, its hard work. Your in a great position to answer the LCD question then -- I imagine some of the phones you are targeting have features that others don't. And some of those features, in the higher end phon

anyone using Heroku? I was so excited about it when I first saw the beta -- but then, never really felt compelled to shift my behavior to developing in a browser. Once I saw the prices, I was completely deterred...
