What's new:

• Added capability to email cigar inventory data
• Added capability to move cigars between humidors
• Added 'shake to select random cigar' feature
• User interface tweaks
• Code optimization to reduce memory needs and to increase speed
• Added hundreds of cigars to the default database

When I get a few minutes, I'll post some "use cases" to highlight how some of the new features can make things easier, especially for those of us who move cigars around (pifs, bombs, trades, herfs, etc.)

Any light at the end of the tunnel as when this will be approved? I haven't seen them take over a week to approve and we've hit that point! I know you don't have control.. just wanted to vent about Apple's slow approval process.

Actually I have started to look at the Android platform, but mostly as a curiosity at the moment. I seriously doubt that I'll have the time to learn and develop on a 2nd platform. The only reason I even look at it is that I'm sick to death of AT&T. I really like my iPhone, but I have enough issues with AT&T to consider alternatives. To me, the Android platform will best be remembered as the competition that drove Apple to fix the AT&T problem, and hopefully continue to drive innovation forward as well.

Ken any chance of getting a landscape mode?

It's a little tricky to use landscape mode for apps with a "Tab Bar" (the bottom of the screen with the different sections of the app), but it can be done. Is there a particular view that you think would benefit from landscape mode?

There's some strong rumors out there in the last day or two about the iPhone porting to Verizon. Nothing firm, but something to watch.

Would be pretty surprising considering Verizon's current ad campaign for the Droid, but you never know...

I think Verizon is being a little bit careful to attack the AT&T network, rather than specifically the iPhone itself. Might be hedging their bets

Either way, it's a brilliant ad campaign.

The last update took a while to get through Apple's process too from what I can remember. Not Ken's issue, but this isn't a one-time thing. The only reason I remember is becasue the last update included the "Smoke 1" update that I was itching for, and I was checking the store for updates daily for about 10 days (maybe more).

I've yet to see them approve anything within a week. Depending on volume of apps (always increasing), I typically see between 1 and 2 weeks to approve. Plenty of horror stories of developers getting into several months of limbo as well, but (knock on wood) I haven't had that happen yet. I'm guessing sometime this week.
