Adam has joined Big in Japan to build our iPhoneDevTeam. Adam has learned more than his share of lessons on what to do and what not to do when publishing mobile applications. His experience, contacts and burning desire will definately be appreciated here. Welcome Adam!

iPhoneDevCamp was an excellent event. Thanks to Raven, Whurley and Dom for putting it together, we really enjoyed it. Over 51 applications were started or built over the weekend including one built by the Big in Japan team. We decided to build a tiny application that would use the ability the iPhone has to determine the orientation of its screen. Based on how you held your iPhone you would signify your agreement or disagreement with the speaker. We call it iPhoneVote and ironically it was voted one of the ‘top ten apps‘ from the event.
Other cool applications included: AppMarks, PickleView, Fluther, The Pool, itunes Remote-o-Matic, Tilt and moPhaic (read about them here). The coolest hack from the event was called the Fluid Navigation Hack as described by Andrew:

The iPhoneDevCamp opening reception is just about over, but iPhone news is coming out at record pace. Check out the flickrstream here. See you tomorrow at 9:30AM. News? The iPhoneInterface tool is out as well as reported by the iPhone Hacking News:
We have successfully written a tool named iPhoneInterface allowing for some basic manipulation of things on the phone, and are releasing it tonight. We are including source code so you can understand the techniques we have used so far. We will be expanding the functionality of this tool significantly tomorrow. The best news is that we have prototype code that allows the ability to:
- Run any desired application already residing on the phone.
- Control what processes run on the phone (currently implementation is very hackish)
- Move files around on the phone
- Enable viewing of verbose information during the restore process
- Activate the phone without iTunes and without a token
Note: Not all of the features listed above are necessarily included in tonight’s initial release.
We are continuing significant work on this tool and will probably have similarly worthwhile updates tomorrow.

Apple and AT&T just identified 500,000 alpha geeks for marketers around the world. What does that mean for your brand? Piper Jaffray is reporting that Apple sold more than 500,000 iPhones this weekend according to Tom Krazit of Crave. Here are the details:
If you can engage the iPhone community it means you can have access to 500,000 early adopters. How? Start building tools specific to the needs of the ‘instant community’. How? Hire guys like us or come to the iPhoneDevCamp in San Francisco this week.
