The Washington Post will launch a new $1.99 iPhone app today providing access to the site’s mobile content online and offline for one year. The app will include articles, columns, blogs and photo galleries which can be saved for offline reading in a “MyPost” folder. The Post does not charge for access to its regular Web site and has indicated there are no plans to do so. The paper reported Tuesday that its mobile site received a record 8 million page views in February. The UK’s Guardian, another newspaper with an advertising-supported Web site has sold 100,000 of its iPhone apps in two months.

iProcessing is an open programming framework to help people develop native iPhone applications using the Processing language. It is an integration of the Processing.js library and a Javascript application framework for iPhone. The iProcessing download consists of a set of example XCode projects that demonstrate many of the Basic Examples from the Processing web site (originally written by Casey Reas and Ben Fry unless otherwise stated) as well a number that demonstrate the use of various iPhone features such as multitouch, accelerometer, orientation, location, sound play/record, app state saving and so on. It is in development and is currently used by Luckybite and other designers and students for prototyping. You are welcome to use it and if you have any comments feel free to email us here. It is unknown as to whether apps created using the framework will be approved if submitted to the App Store.

PhoneGap is an open-source framework that can turn any web app into a native app for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. It pulls off this trick by running your web code in a UIWebView, an embedded instance of Safari without the toolbars and buttons of the standalone Safari app. PhoneGap then extends this basic functionality by mapping features of the iPhone SDK to JavaScript objects you can call in your web code, so you can easily add features like GPS, camera, contacts, vibration, SQLLite and accelerometer support. And when you’re ready to distribute your app, PhoneGap 0.80 is Apple-approved!

It’s like a mashup of a 1960s teach-in with smartphone technology from the 2000s.
Each participating Abilene instructor is incorporating the iPhone differently into their curriculum. In some classrooms, professors project discussion questions onscreen in a PowerPoint presentation. Then, using polling software that Abilene coded for the iPhone, students can answer the questions anonymously by sending responses electronically with their iPhones. The software can also quickly quiz students to gauge whether they’re understanding the lesson.
Most importantly, by allowing the students to participate in polls anonymously with the iPhone, it relieves them of any social pressure to appear intelligent in front of their peers. If they answer wrong, nobody will know who it was, ridding students of humiliation. And if students don’t understand a lesson, they can ask the teacher to repeat it by simply tapping a button on the iPhone.

Since launching two months ago, though, I’ve had more time to think about the decision, and the more I think about it, the more I realize that we really didn’t have a choice. So, using the conflict above and a little maths, I would like to quickly explain why, as a developer, pricing your game at $0.99 is actually far more risky than pricing it at $1.99 or higher, using something like Canabalt (popular, self-published, self-marketed, NOT a top 10 hit) as an example.
