We are happy to announce that our recent collaboration work with Studio Yumi, which is a memory challenge game, Yum Memory, the latest iPhone application and it’s already available at iTunes App Store. Yumi is a talented artist in New York, and she recently opened her gallery. ObjectGraph already scheduled multiple iPhone application series with her original character, “Yummy”.

After two weeks of submission, Version 1.1 is ready. This version features:

• Better Sound Synchronization
• Cancel Button if you dialed the number incorrectly (with the appropriate sound when you hang up a retro phone)

Also we changed the primary category of iRetroPhone to “Entertainment”

I tried one interesting iphone application, it’s called Shazam. This is an iphone app to find the title of  music playing around you. Today, some construction workers were playing a song from their portable stereo set, probably around 25ft away, so I tested this application within noisy environment from far distance, and it works! Amaizing quality of sound signal pattern search. I wonder how do they do that in this short period of time.

Check out our iRetroPhone in iTunes store too. Version 1.1 is coming soon.

We just opened iRetroPhone.com. This is the official product website and we will upload all screenshots, new features, and movies too. App store information should be announced soon.

This is almost last day since I’m leaving tomorrow noon. We have more advanced sessions today, such as Mastering Interface Builder session which should be continued from introduction one. I scheduled my Lab session afternoon around 4:30 pm and this should wrap up our project deployment.

Interesting thing is, I saw a couple of underground iPhone advertise company’s activities. There are a couple of people distributing flayer around entrance and I saw a pile of flayers in bathroom.

Another interesting thing is, I found a Japanese staff working at lab to support Japanese visitors. He told me there are more than 300 Japanese visitors. It seems that Japanese and Chinese people had their own reception on the first day. Shoooot, I was not invited!

The lab session was just talking about what’s available in iTunes Connections web login screen. One thing, I though that I can setup my own price, but actually I can not. Apple setup tier for pricing. That’s bad news for us. After this session, I have clear idea of distributing our app.

WWDC08 Bash will start in half hour, it’s beer time!

Attended Sessions:

• Mastering Interface Builder
  • Clear explanation about File’s Owner,Fast Responder, and so on. Very good session in this morning.
• Debugging and Profiling Your iPhone Application
  • Similar to other session to demonstrate Instrument profiler. Apple build beautiful app even if it’s debugger or profiler tool
• Lunchtime Speaker: Physiology and Fossil
  • Generating T-Rex 3D model
  • Genetic Algorithm
• Mastering iPhone View Controllers
• Optimizing Performance in iPhone Applications
• App Store - Getting Started Session
• iPhone Device APIs: Location, Accelerometer and Camera

Here is another religious meeting, day 3, just started. Before starting this report, I would like to mention about my extra expense for my butt

which cost me around $40 and Father’s day discount campaign did not really help my budget plan at Brookstone. I spend 30 minutes to try massage chair.

Today, there is one interesting session from Pixer around noon. This might be something about developing software in the company. I’m kind a tired of just taking follow-up notes of each lecture and taking picture in dark conference over people’s heads, I’ll try to drop by lab session s which should be one-by-one.

Attended Session:

• iPhone Application User Interface Design
  • This was really useless session something we could download from iTune or Software Engineering 101. Thank you for advertising AOL products.
• Controls, Views, and Animation on iPhone
  • Basic demo of control and fade out and fade in
  • Orientation and Rotation
• Lunch Time Speaker from Pixer
• Internationalizing Your Software
• Understanding the Xcode Project Management and Build System
  • I decided to choose this session rather than going to mult-touch because I had heard time to understand how to integrate OpenGL ES and xml framework for iPhone app before the template is coming. I did touch event handling in a couple of applications so it’s familiar to me.
• Preparing and Delivering Video for iPhone, Safari, and Apple TV

Today’s Food and some other pictures:

Day2 started. I arrived there around 8 am before session starts. Thank you for free food and Odawalla drinks which I usually do not purchase because of overpriced healthy drinks. I will list a couple of sessions that I attended here.

iPhone Application Development Fundamentals

Basic things that we’ve already covered so far. The speaker insists to grab right idea about MVC design pattern. He also guided additional sessions to connected with this, such as Understanding ControllerView and TableView lectures. Some demo about Interface Builder to stick action and outlet. I like the concept that he explained, “Controllers are like glue to stick them together”.

Introduction to the iPhone Development Tools

• Usage of debugger
• Interface Builder Demo
• Performance Analysis
  • Memory Leak
  • 1. Start Performance Monitor->Leak
    2. If you see Leaking, click the spike
    3. see stack dump
• Shark - advanced performance monitor

Understanding iPhone View Controllers

• UIViewController
• UITabBarController
• Rotation

Understanding iPhone TableView

Designing Applications with Interface Builder

Hello, I will attend WWDC08 from June 9 - 13. Check this blog to catch up the latest information. I’m already excited with my Virgin America’s air plain ticket.June 9, the first major event is keynote, starting 10 am (1pm on Eastern). Afternoon, “iPhone Getting Started” workshop will start around 5pm. Then I will hangout Welcome Reception and get chill out.

We are glad to announce our Retro Phone Rotary Dial iPhone Application, iRetroPhone, and this will be available soon in iPhone’s app store. It simulates a rotary phone in old days. Enjoy the realistic sound effects and animations. Also we will be releasing a skinning specification for creating custom skins

UPDATE: Back in business as of 8:50 PM EST. 

Early in the morning today my iphone stopped working. I checked with kiichi and his iphone was bricked too. Here is a screen shot of what XCode says.

The version of software available on Apple’s developer site is the same as i have, so the OS version did not update yet. Seems like many other developers are having the same problem.

Kiichi and I really liked the demo from apple about the iPhone SDK.

We at ObjectGraph think the new app store feature will level the playing field for all developers, big(EA) and small(OG). Now its up to developers to create new applications and make them success stories. So We started developing in Objective C. With its kinda wierd syntax coming from C#, Java, ActionScript and Python, but here is my first try anyway

I am creating a MyPoint class with a distance function that takes a reference of an another point.

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

@interface MyPoint : NSObject {

	int x;
	int y;

}

-(void) print;
-(void) setX:(int) a; // void setX(int a);
-(void) setY:(int) b;
-(int) getX;
-(int) getY;
-(double) distance:(MyPoint*) p;

@end

Implementation

#import "MyPoint.h"
#import <stdio.h>
#import <math.h>

@implementation MyPoint

-(void) print
{
	printf("(%d,%d)",x,y);
}

-(void) setX:(int) a
{
	x=a;
}

-(void) setY:(int) b
{
	y=b;
}

-(int) getX
{
	return x;
}

-(int) getY
{
	return y;
}

-(double) distance:(MyPoint*) p;
{
	return sqrt((x-[p getX])*(x-[p getX])+(y-[p getY])*(y-[p getY]));
}

@end

Main

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#import "MyPoint.h"

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

	MyPoint *point1=[[MyPoint alloc] init];
	[point1 setX:10];
	[point1 setY:20];

	[point1 print];

	MyPoint *point2=[[MyPoint alloc] init];
	[point2 setX:10];
	[point2 setY:30];
	[point2 print];

	printf("Distance: %lf\n", [point1 distance:point2]);

	[point1 release];
	[point2 release];

	[pool drain];
    return 0;
}
