Apple Accepts Their First International Developers To iPhone Program

Apple has begun accepting international developers to their iPhone Developer Program. Skaro, a software developer reader of TUAW residing in the UK, claims to have been recently been accepted into Apple's program. If this turns out to be true, then it means Apple is taking a huge step in building the iPhone developer community, especially considering that there are some extremely talented developers located throughout the world.

Free AT&T iPhone Wi-Fi Temporarily Disabled?

Remember when we thought we'd get free Wi-Fi for our iPhones at Starbucks, and then thought we wouldn't, and then realized that they were doing it after all? Well, it seems that AT&T hasn't yet grown tired of toying with our hearts and has reportedly disabled the hotspots which were once open to iPhone users. We're assuming it's temporary.

Considering that the AT&T hotspot pages literally said "Free AT&T Wi-Fi for iPhone", we're quite confident that it wasn't a mistake. It's more likely that AT&T started rolling out the service prematurely and will enable it again shortly.

My Mac Made me a Creative Genius

While it’s taken as writ that we cultists tend to be creative types, a recent study from the Fuqua school of business at Duke University seems to indicate that simply seeing an Apple logo makes you more creative.

The researchers conducted a number of experiments, one of which was showing the logos for fractions of a second to create a subliminal impression, and in all cases those who’d seen the Apple logo scored higher on standardized creativity tests than those who’d seen the IBM logo or no logos at all.

Keith Sawyer in his Creativity and Innovation blog has got a great write up on the paper if you don’t feel like sorting through all the academic stuff in the published paper (I managed to get through 5 whole pages before turning to Keith’s excellent article).

Sun CEO discusses Java for the iPhone

In a sit down with Jonathan Schwartz, the CEO of Sun Microsystems, Engadget Mobile’s Ryan Block discussed the process of porting the Java platform to the iPhone. Overall, Schwartz seems very confident that Java is going to be in the future for the iPhone. He says they are having no problems on the technical side of things, but may face a few on the legal side.

“Well I think the only difficulty will be what Apple presents through its EULA. But I think that I think EULA is a bit of an oxymoron to me. They’re end users, they have the freedom to choose what they’d like to do, so I think we are going to leave it up to users to decide how they want to use the technology.” -Jonathan Schwartz, CEO Sun Microsystems

While bringing Java to the iPhone is obviously a huge ambition for Sun, they do not know when they will be able to deliver. Schwartz did emphasize they they have “redoubled the focus and activity”, that this is not “simple stuff”, and that it takes companies time to get these kind of things to the public. He touched on the fact that there are countless Java applications out there, and that bringing them to the iPhone presents developers with more opportunity. Really, the whole interview conveyed a very deep concern for the interest of developers by Schwartz.

Schwartz became an iPhone owner himself recently, and says that he is liking it. Maybe with an iPhone himself he will have the process of getting Java to the iPhone expedited. It will take as long as it takes I guess, but hey you never know.
