Apple Review Times
Still no word from Apple about the latest MMATracker release. Used to only take around 6/7 days to get an approval for app updates, but that seems to be rising.

Porting from iPhone to Windows Mobile

I’ve posted articles about that before, people spending upwards of $100,000 on an app and making back a fraction of that. Going away for 1-2 years and developing something in secret is a [...]
