Blog: Mussedo 1.1.0 Pending App Store Approval

I’ve finally got around to putting the finishing touches on Mussedo 1.1.0 and building it for release. It’s currently in Apple’s update approval queue and shouldn’t take too long to be approved.

Now I’ve gotta race Apple to get new screenshots ready for the upcoming release.

See all upcoming changes to Mussedo in the change log at Sysios: http://sysios.com/mussedo/changelog/

Blog: Mussedo has been submitted to the App Store

Mussedo has been finished for more or less two months now. However I haven’t had much time to do the finishing touches and get a separate iTunes Connect account for Sysios. Since Mussedo has been “completed” for about two months now I just needed to submit the binary to Apple. In a week or so it should be accepted and go on sale for $6.99.

Blog: Sysios Launches

From now on all my future mobile applications will be launched and sold under Sysios, a new company I’m starting.

The main goal is to distribute my applications under one name and through one channel, I will slowly move my existing Apps over to Sysios as I find time and as I create and launch new Apps.

The launch product for Sysios Systems is Mussedo, a todo manager I’ve been wanting to write for the last two years and something I’ve been working on for the last six months. Mussedo is my take on todo management for iOS devices and should be in the App Store soon.

Blog: Apple featured my iPhone app Swap It

So Apple has decided to feature my latest application for iPhone and iPod touch, Swap It. This is the second time Apple has featured software that I’ve written, albit this is the first time in iTunes.

Swap It Featured in iTunes

It is currently under the New and Noteworthy category, which is highlighted on the App Store page in iTunes. It’s also visible about half way down on the iPhone’s App Store app under Featured.

For anyone who’s reading my blog but hasn’t yet heard of Swap It, read more about it at SwapItApp.com. Swap It is my take on pasteboard sharing for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Blog: Swap It is in the App Store

Like I previously mentioned, Swap It was approved by Apple earlier and it just went live in the App Store a few minutes ago. Be sure to check it out in the App Store http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=333177120&mt=8. It costs 99-cents and I hope you’ll check it out, and should you purchase it that you’ll enjoy it.

Blog: My new iPhone App, Swap It

For the last several months I’ve been working on my next iPhone app for iPhone and iPod touch, Swap It. Swap It is an App that lets you swap or share your iPhone’s pasteboard (clipboard) with another user of Swap It.

Swap It is scheduled for release on October 12, 2009 (tomorrow). Look for it in the iTunes App Store.

Blog: My first (public) App is in the iTunes App Store

My first public iPhone/iPod touch application is now available in the iTunes App Store. My first app, “Calcutipr” is a simple and free Tip Calculator for the iPhone platform. It is the first application that I have polished enough to be ready for distribution.

I haven’t been working on it long, but after rewriting it a few times to mess with different ways of making it work I’ve gotten it to the point it is at now. I plan on updating it and adding new features to it as I come up with ideas for implementing new features.

Give it a try, its Free and you’ve got nothing to loose! iTunes Link.

Blog: My first iPhone app is almost finished…

I’ve almost finished my first iPhone application. I’m working on testing it for bugs, adding a few extras and in the process of submitting it to Apple. Within the next week it should be on the App Store providing all goes well.
