W Hotels app does it so wrong

20120329-202350.jpg

Yup, you see it right: the desktop store comes through inside of the iPhone app.

Lesson:
If you embed a web page, do make sure it’s mobile friendly.

Hope it’s an error.

FiftyThree: Great looking app, thought provoking video

A link on Twitter today to an app called FiftyThree lead me to their demo video.

Does anyone use the iPad on the go like this? Is the iPad truly passing onto the realm of Moleskine notebooks where you carry the thing around in your hand (it’s just too heavy for me)? If I was creating a commercial for Samsung’s new Galaxy Note – which actually comes with its own über stylus – I’d look at this.
Otherwise, very neat app indeed…

XCode iOS simulator is case insnsitive. iOS on Device is not.

We have an iPad app. We load images using file paths into the app. Images appear just fine in the iOS simulator. Images do not show up on the device. Fist shaken madly in the air, agony.

Thanks to my colleague Dolphy Fernandes we managed to discover the culprit. The iOS Simulator used by XCode loads file in a case insensitive manner. To it, a file called A55.jpg and a55.jpg are the same. iOS on devices, on the other hand, is case sensitive. Hence, A55.jpg will not load if the file name you are attempting to load is 'a55.jpg'.

Hope it helps…
