We recently ran into a weird issue with UIAlertView.  The UIAlertView is being used for updating the progress of an upload.  We made sure that updating our UIProgressView was happening on the main thread, and then added:

[alertView setTitle:@”New Title”]

For some reason, the progress was changing, but no new title.

Then someone found a different call that was happening from a background thread.  Rather than just failing, it was actually making it so that all future calls to setTitle would fail.

Been working on importing and exporting files in iOS for a bit lately.  Was happy to find a slick related tutorial from mobiForge that made the export ideas go much smoother.

Read Write Web says iPhone users only make up 10% of mobile phone subscribers.

Apple may have only 10% of the iPhone subscribers, but these people aren’t fragmented across platforms and experience.  When I had a Samsung phone, there was nothing that tied me to other Samsung owners (except maybe I could borrow their power cord). Grouping this market by handset maker alone is about as useful as classifying people by eye color.

"Jing - Jing is a weird little app that is a screenshot app, a screencast app and a sharing app. It’s incredibly easy to use and includes a free account at screencast.com for sharing your videos. It keeps pulling me back into it’s strange gravity."

I can’t believe that after just releasing a brand new phone they have to release an update to fix battery issues. How crappy… hold on, I think my battery is dying in my iPhone here.
