iPhone OS4 beta 3

I installed iPhone OS4 beta 2 last night. Not my best idea. I don’t see any new features other than some animation. There are numerous problem though, the camera and screenshots no longer work. This is probably an issue with storing the photos. I have tried photo apps, but none work.

There was an other issue when trying to update app from the App Store. It repeatedly refused to update advising me to download the updates using iTunes or when connected to a WiFi network, the problem, I was connected to my WiFi. To get around this I deleted the apps in question and reinstalled them.

I hope beta 3 comes out soon.

Opened in Tokyo last December, the 9 Hours is a new hotel-dish, already common in the “format” of accommodation in Tokyo. The name comes from the concept of divided time: 1 hour to shower, sleep for 7 and 1 more to get ready for the next day.

But the highlight of the 9 Hours is its minimalist design, created by Fumie Shibata of Design Studio S. They are only four colors, often black and white, for all the visual identity and signage of the hotel.

Mullen creative director Tim Vaccarino had one of those day. Leaving agency’s Boston offices rushing to catch a flight. He had an unfortunate run-in with a glass door as he was leaving. Inevitably, it was capture by security cameras and posted by his colleague Edward Boches.

Boches writes:”Because we’re right across the street from Brooks Brothers, Tim was actually able to get himself a new wardrobe, literally in minutes, still make his plane, get to New York and help win a new piece of business.”

A wonderful documentary about Open Design & Innovation.

How are social media changing design? What is the value of a prototype? How are work and play merging? Where is design headed in the 21st century? “Delivered in Beta” begins a conversation on these topics and invites your participation (twitter hashtag #od10beta). This video was created during the Open Design Workshop at the Betahaus
as part of Social Media Week Berlin 2010. Produced by KS12.

Microsoft Windows Mobile 7

Microsoft launch Windows Mobile 7 Series, below are two hands on videos on the interface. It looks really impressive. Gizmodo said;

I’m sorry, Cupertino, but Microsoft has nailed it. Windows Phone 7 feels like an iPhone from the future. The UI has the simplicity and elegance of Apple’s industrial design, while the iPhone’s UI still feels like a colorized Palm Pilot.

Unfortunately it will probably be like most of these great technology ideas. It will be US only, at least at the start, and more importantly only really is of value if all your friend are using the same platform. The Facebook integration is an nice idea if all your friend are heavy Facebook users. It isn’t clear how well other 3rd party services can be integrated into the interface, but if they can be done as well as Facebook has it could be a huge plus for the platform.

Some Apple fan boys are not happy ;) Gizmodo is dead to me – Walt Mosspuppet

Bit.ly Pro realtime dashboard

Finished the setup for my bit.ly pro account. I’m using lu.is as the short url. Basically lu.is is a cname for bit.ly. The advantage is I get a Pro dashboard and better stats on short URLs I generate and I can monitor bit.ly click throughs to scaryideas.com even when they are generated by other bit.ly users.
