We think we had fun.

We were in San Francisco so we must have had fun right? Just spent a whirlwind week at WWDC with the rest of the party faithful getting a big dose of Apple "juice" to last us for another year. Lots of new technologies introduced in 3.0 that we hope to incorporate into Dive Log, as well as some that are just plain interesting. If only there was more time in each day to get things done! A busy week but it was great to be one of the 5200 engineers there and see the tide of development going on. Although we tend to lean to the pessimistic side of life, we were pleasantly surprised at the depth of knowledge and genuine helpfulness displayed by all the Apple presenters.

By this time, you've probably heard the sound bites on the new Mac Laptops and their price decreases, the new iPhone 3GS, and the new 3.0 OS version. This latter item affects More Mobile Software customers the most. We have actively been testing our apps on the beta versions of the OS and all of our apps are working fine so you shouldn't run into any problems if you upgrade your phone.

The developer "seed", (the "final" version that we developers use to test our apps with first), came out on announcement day, June 8th. We were among the throng of developers downloading it as soon as possible and installing it on our development machines to double and triple check that no new bugs were introduced that might effect the iPhone apps. The new OS will be released to existing iPhone customers on June 17th, and the new iPhone (with the 3.0OS) will be released on June 19th. So we anticipate many of our customers will upgrade soon and expect it to be seamless as far as Dive Log, Nitrox Tools, and Trimix Tools are concerned. And any new customers will not see any problems either.

Stay tuned for new versions of Dive Log though that may take advantage of the great new technologies!
