Hope you had a fantastic holiday season and are gearing up for an awesome new year.

I can't wait to see what this year brings and I'm super excited about all of the activity and rumors in the Apple/iPhone world. With that in mind there are a couple of things I'm really psyched about.

First, I have an iPhone programming class coming up this week. http://www.e-string.com/training There is an early bird price that ends soon so keep that in mind if you are interested or know someone who is. Also, I'm considering putting on a 3 day class with another very experienced iPhone developer and trainer. Let me know if that might be of interest.

Second, I’m working on an ad/content management system that will let you easily manage, cache and expire content in your iPhone applications. I believe this will be really useful for you to create your own in app promotional material and other up-dateable content. For example, if you have one app and want to announce a second app to your users or want to update the “about” page or database this would be an easy way to do that.

And finally, I’m also working on a highly interactive media reader. Think along the lines of interactive kids books, training/how-to manuals, portfolios, catalogs and magazine style publications. I believe this framework can be used to create single publication type applications as well as branded readers and publication channels. I’m targeting the current iPhone and iPod Touch devices as well as other as yet unannounced Apple products that we may see this year ... if you know what I mean.

If any of this gets your creative juices flowing get in touch. I would love to talk over any ideas you may have.

Take care.
