Macworld: News: Notes from DevCamp: Developers tackle iPhone apps

choonkeat over 4 years ago

It only took a week after Apple released the iPhone for its new owners to need to get together and share all they’d learned about hacking their phones.

More than 300 people showed up to Adobe’s offices in San Francisco last weekend, ready to push the iPhone’s limits.

There were frequent shouts of “Could someone help us debug some JavaScript?,” “Does anyone know how to tell when a phone is rotated?,” and most commonly of all, “Can we borrow an iPhone for just a moment?”

The conference climax was Sunday afternoon with the 48 demos showing the results of the hack contest . Applications ranged from the useful (such as gOffice , a word processor, and TeleMoose , a low-bandwidth way to shop Amazon) to the fun ( PickleView , a way to combine baseball play-by-play information from mlb.com with twitters from friends, and Tilt , a “game in 1.5 dimensions”) to the merely silly ( WinPhoney , an attempt to make a Windows iPhone emulator).
