iPhone OS 3.2 SDK for iPad is OUT
Apple has released the new OS 3.2 Software Developer’s Kit for the iPad. Now, developers like Yapzilla can “peek inside” the as yet not available for purchase iPad. The device’s larger screen, 9.7-inch (diagonal), 1024×768 pixels, enables developers to work with a larger area and all sorts of creative ways to display app components.
Per AppleInsider.com:
The site also presents an iPad Programming Guide that “introduces new features available for iPad and how to implement those features in your applications,” as well as new iPad Human Interface Guidelines.
Apple says the new user interface guidelines outline “how to effectively use the new views and controls available to you to deliver unforgettable applications to your customers.”
The SDK also includes new example code projects that “provide an example of how to accomplish a task for a specific technology.”
Most exciting for us, is the news that the new SDK introduces new Universal Application binary format for iPhone OS apps. This means we can develop an app and have it display and function on both iPhones and the new iPad.

EcoNotes: Tech Will Make the Future Better
Wow! Turbine- wind power to light roadways and communities. We’ve been abuzz about this technological innovation, ever since spotting it at Engadget.com’s blog.
Ingenious, eco-friendly concepts are all around us, there’s no denying that. This one caught our eye because it’s pretty innovative, seemingly well thought out, and good looking to boot. The Turbine Light concept (which is going to be a part of the upcoming Greener Gadgets conference in New York City at the end of this month) harnesses the power of the wind from cars rushing past to light up the ever-darkening roadways. The turbines use the wind collected to generate energy for the lighting.”
The United States could really lead the global marketplace in utilizing innovation, technology and ecologically-focus to develop new products- that are good for the Earth, and good for our economy.
