It seems that the latest boom these days is to create an iPhone app for a living. At least that is the trend we see with the new apps being announced almost daily. With the growing popularity of the iPhone reaching unprecedented levels, it is apparent that some people have found a new way of income via iPhone apps which can reach as much as $100,000 if they are lucky.
But the key to a great iPhone app relies as well on education and training. For sure, iPhone app developers will agree that they need advanced information and studies to make sure that they keep in step with fellow programmers who have invested heavily in attending workshops and classes. And if there is one event that they should consider attending, it should be the iPhone Boot Camp which will be graced by best-selling iPhone authors and developers as well.
The place to be is New York City which will play host for six days of master classes from August 6 to 11. The event will be spearheaded by bestselling iPhone authors Steve Kochan, author of “Programming in Objetive-C 2.0″ and Jeff LaMarche, co-author of “Beginning iPhone Development.
The affordable early bird rates are as low as $999 for a three day workshop and $300 for one day introductory workshops. Class price includes lunches and refreshments and over two hundred pages of original instruction materials. Students are encouraged to bring independent projects to class, allowing for input from classmates and individual instructor attention.

To many PC gamers, Turbo Subs may be remembered as an addicting PC game where players have to create and maintain efficient sandwich shops just like you would in real life. The key is to address the growing demands, customer complaints and other factors such as robberies to put up an efficient restaurant in New York.
Put your management skills to the test in the food industry. Take all the factors to be considered and see if you can be a successful food joint tycoon, similar to other games like Lemonade Tycoon and related games. You just need to balance and see if you can be successful, something that many find challenging and of course rewarding if their tactics prosper.
Serving hungry customers has never been more fun with gameplay perfectly tuned for the iPhone’s flawless touch screen controls. Players open up shop in whimsical locations all around New York City throughout 60 challenging levels. Sub shop masters can fire up the kitchen hustle and unlock expert objectives in each level to keep the challenge alive and the sandwiches supplied.
This new app is now available at the Apple App Store for a MSRP of $1.99.

This is really some weird news coming in here about the Palm Pre. It looks like there’s only one Sprint store in New York ready to sell the Pre starting with June 6.
Sprint has apparently marked the stores that will have the Pre by marking them open for “special hours” on June 5. Assuming that online list is accurate then New York, Chicago, LA and San Francisco will have just a store ready to sell the Pre which is really disturbing. Is it all a human error? Everyone is expecting Palm Pre shortages so we expect all Spring stores to have at least a few Pres to go around. We also expect these stores to be open on launch date. Or will we see the Palm Pre available only in selected Sprint stores at first?
Let’s hope that Sprint will handle this launch with class. Apple will be surely watching.

The TLC or the Taxi and Limousine Commission of New York City has been thinking lately about block taxi drivers from using a cell phone while they’re driving a cab in NYC. That’s part of the “Taxicab Passenger Enhancement Program”. Is that fair? I mean everyone of us is taking cellphones to work. Sure driving while using a cellphone isn’t recommended but that’s why the mobile God up there invented hands-free devices which keep your hands on the steering wheel. After all I don’t care if the driver is chatting on the phone while he’s driving me to where I need to be. And let’s not forget that everyone is expecting calls all the time and some of them are real emergencies!
Where would we be without cellphones? What do you think, should cab drivers have their cellphone access blocked while working?

High-speed internet on your mobile phone is here, thanks to the new Nokia N95 with support for High Speed Download Package Access (HSDPA) in North American networks. The spanking new N95 is now shipping across the US. Featuring some new upgrades - including Assisted GPS (A-GPS) technology - N95 users can also take advantage of the new SlingPlayer Mobile for Symbian OS to enjoy your home TV programming. You can even watch broadcasts of content recorded to a DVR from anywhere a HSDPA or WiFi network is available.
The Nokia N95’s integrated A-GPS combined with Nokia Maps is great for mapping and routing in over 150 countries and there’s support for full turn-by-turn satellite navigation in over 30 countries. If you hurry, you can also get a 1-month navigation license, a city guide of your choice and additional maps pre-loaded on a 1GB memory card.
Priced at US $699, the new Nokia N95 is now available at the Nokia Flagship Store in New York City and Chicago. It is definitely tempting me to chuck out my Nokia N73 music edition phone but at that price I’d probably keep my N73 for a few more months.
