Now that I, at last, have had some free time, I’ve very thoroughly tested the (by the XDA-Devs folks) recently released and freely deployable Flash Lite 3.1, which is quite much a step in the right direction.

Some months ago, XDA-Devs forum member “cook” has written a quick patcher app that does this (semi-)automatically.

Note that my new tutorial is not only meant for iPhone developers, but also anyone that wants to use Mac OS X on his or her desktop / notebook PC. Please see http://www.smartphonemag.com/iphone/blog/87/develop-iphone-applications-your-pc-installing-os-x-pc’s-and-particularly-ibm-thinkpad-t42p

At last, I was able to afford an iPhone 3G without an expensive data / phone plan (meaning a much higher starting price). Of course, I've been playing with the device since then. See my review HERE.

I haven't had the time to post anything the last few weeks. 

I've just added the just-released Kinoma Play 1.0 and Spb Online 1.0 to the chart of Sneak peek: the Main Chart of my forthcoming Multimedia Audio Streaming Bible!

The Spb folks have just released their online portal, Spb Online. Three other reviews have already been published (some hours ago) on it. Therefore, I've paid special attention to elaborating on issues not discussed in the other reviews, particularly when it comes to comparing Spb Online to the competing alternatives – after all, I've published several articles on several areas Spb Online implemented: radio and TV streaming, podcasting and multiplayer games.

You may remember my previous article on playing back RMVB (RealMedia Variable Bitrate) videos on Windows Mobile. Back then, the only hack available was pretty much useless: it only ran on Marvell (ex-Intel) Xscale CPU's and delivered a really inferior performance (very low video speed, useless for watching anything).
