StyleTap officially bringing Palm emulator to the iPhone / iPod touch

June 2, 2008 at 8:36 pm (iPhone, iPod)

 

 StyleTap has announced their intention to bring StyleTap CrossPlatform to the iPhone and iPod touch. It will be available in “early July 2008″ and more details will be released at that time. 

I wonder if they delayed a bit too long. Obviously, they were waiting for iPhone 2.0, but with native software coming at the same time I wonder how much Palm software people will want. That said, there is a huge catalog of Palm software out there and having come from a Treo I can think of several applications (especially finance related) that I would love to have on my iPhone. What do you think; is there any Palm software out there you really want running on your iPhone?

Ifbyphone promises “voice broadcast” app in the App Store

June 2, 2008 at 8:18 pm (iPhone)

Well this is interesting — apparently a company called Ifbyphone has announced that they will be releasinga “Voice Broadcast” app through the iPhone’s App Store in June. The application will apparently let you “transmit” voice messages to multiple recipients, like sending a voice memo out to multiple people at a time.  

The actual app isn’t very impressive — apparently a subscription will be required to use the service, and who knows how it works — but the repercussions for the App Store might be interesting. What if someone releases a VOIP app through Apple’s official store? What would AT&T have to say about that?

We still, even a week before WWDC, have no real idea exactly how the store is going to work and how a company or private developer will be able to get their programs on Apple’s official listing, but it’s conceivable that if a developer drops functionality that intersects with Apple or AT&T’s profitability we could have a problem here. We’ll have to watch and see if Ifbyphone’s app shows up with all the functionality they claim.
