Morning Coffee #8

Posted on by
  • Rovio (guys behind the Angry Birds) published the list of handsets that they do not support for the performance reasons. I guess this is a good list and good argument to exclude those handsets from your future games and apps, unless you have a really serious reason for not doing that:
    • Droid Eris
    • HTC Dream
    • HTC Hero
    • HTC Magic/Sapphire/Mytouch 3G
    • HTC Tattoo
    • HTC Wildfire
    • Huawei Ideos/U8150
    • LG Ally/Aloha/VS740
    • LG GW620/Eve
    • Motorola Backflip/MB300
    • Motorola Cliq/Dext
    • Samsung Acclaim
    • Samsung Moment/M900
    • Samsung Spica/i5700
    • Samsung Transform
    • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini
    • T-Mobile G1
    • And in addition to that they do not support Android OS below 1.6 and custom mods.
  • New article on MobileOrchard about Event Framework for iOS. It’s pretty basic, but gives you a good start for using calendar events.
  • Guys from 360iDev started to upload new videos from 360iDev:Austin 2010. Those videos are $3.50 a pop, which is a bargain.
    • Colin Donnell – GIT Session
    • Guy English. – Pipeline. Be cheap – waste money
    • Kyle Richter – GameCenter and Beyond
    • Brian Robbins – Building a non-hit driven business. Six months later
    • Brent Simmons – Epic software re-use
    • Joe Keeley – More Quartz 2D More Quartz 2D
  • Speaking of Git clients for Mac – here’s another one – Tower. Free, while in beta and looks promising. I think I like it better than GitBox
  • Nice hack for those iOS developers, who has to keep multiple versions of iOS SDK and XCode on the same machine (most of us have to do it)
  • From the same blog, presentation slides and source code for Advanced AV Foundation features on iOS
