I liked drum. How do you write the apps. I’d say you should workon some new apps without time constraints. I liked drum. How do you write the apps.

Whisper is the best. LOL you'd be surprised the funny stuff whispered everynight! Thanks for your hard work. Because of you this phone has been so much more entertaining. shh! Whisper is the best.

I have some basic programing background in windows but not any with iphone or mac. If you can share some of your app code or point a direction to go, that would be great. Why don't you open a forum/learing site and use your app-a-day as examples for inspired people who want to become coder learn and share knowledge. Thanks again for your hard work.

More options, transitions, functionality, etc. You should open it up to let people share their photo library! I’d say concentrate on making Wallpaper better.

I'm a Windows refugee struggling with a new computer, OS, IDE, toolchain, language, and scattered docs. You work turned the tide, so I can't thank you enough! Ideas ... Hmmm, well how about iAppAnHour? Sound crazy? Not if we make it easy for non-progammers to write their own app. Perhaps in Cow++ ;-) Sean, your source code definitly made the difference in my own project.

My suggestion is that you tie all the social (and a few game) apps together under one service called the iPhone Network. Let me outline it for you. I would start by creating just one new app: the iPhone Network Manager. For the INM app you create you account and build a profile by uploading a photo from your camera roll and including contact info or a quote or creed. You create a login name and password. Now what? Add the social and stat tracking features to the best ape and displaythe statistics on users IN profile. Here are a few examples. Wallpaper: Let users upload multiple files (the file to be uploaded currently must be the current user background) and let people dial in their IN friends names to seetheir entire list of uploaded wallpapers. Shoe statistics like how many people have downloaded user "x"'s wallpapers etc. Allow users to access a portal to view the most popular wallpapers this week/month/all time. Of course keep the random cycle mode too. Graffitti Chat: Users can log in or remain annonymous and join walls. Pet users see what wall your friends are participating in. Piano: Let users record and share songs with iPhone network friends. Burp: Let users rank meals on a ten point scale. Let users designate their meal plans and post them to their IN profiles. Sleigh: Let users compare how long they kept Santa alive. Global leaderboards! Quest: Make multi paet quests that require the participation of multi-user parties! Let users reviewe archives of completed quests. Allow users to post a "service record" of all quests participated in on their IN profiles. Of course you would log in to each app to utilize the iPhone Network features. I've got plenty of ideas like thst and ai would absolutely love it if you could do ajything remotlry similar to what I described. :D You did a great job Sean - I cant wait to see what else you make for us in the future but for now I think they best thing for you to do right now would be to make improvements on your most popular apps.

BTW, I noticed a bug in Hockey: You have to place two fingers on the iPhone in order to start a game, but it doesn't register the finger-touch unless your finger is NOT on the paddle. This is frustrating since that's the most natural place to put your finger when starting a game. Also, I would love to see updates to the Hum and Piano programs to make them more full-featured.
