While I’m sure that some get sick and tired of all the media hype around Apple product presentations, there is always the chance that there could be something significant for Developers.

Here’s a look at the 3 most significant rumors:

– Apple will announce an updated version of Apple TV known as iTV with support for iOS apps
– A new iPod Touch will be announced featuring dual cameras, and facetime support
– A CDMA version of the iPhone 4 will be announced finally allowing Americans to get away from AT&T

I’m not sure why but I feel much more excited than I did at the last few Apple events, even the iPad event.  I just get the feeling something significant and surprising will be released tomorrow that will create major new opportunities for devs.

You can see the whole event live starting at 10 AM PST, and you can view the whole thing live on Apple.Com — as long as you do it from a Mac Safari or iOS device.

Just in case anyone missed the Apple  special event today, here’s a very quick roundup for all the busy devs out there.

1. iOS 4.1 with GameCenter was shown, so this social networking feature is finally going to go live.  Looks like other social gaming networks are probably going to become obsolete soon on the iPhone and iPad.

2. iOS 4.2 was previewed for the iPad and it looks like iPad users still have to wait for all the cool new features.

3. New iPod Touch was introduced with dual cameras for facetime, retina display, gyroscope and upgraded processor so it looks like there is no excuse now to create apps that don’t support the retina display.  Also noted was that the iPod Touch outsells Nintendo and Sony portable Gaming devices combined.

4.  New social network called Ping was introduced with iTunes 10 for sharing songs, but looks like there was nothing in there to share apps.. what’s up with that?

5.  New Apple TV was introduced with TV show rentals, Netflix, and wifi streaming content from an iPhone/iPad but from the looks of it no streaming of apps, and no way to use apps whatsoever was shown.  In fact it was noted that people with Apple TV don’t want a computer on their TV (apparently Apple TV users hate gaming consoles).  The device has no storage.

Overall, very little new for devs here, Apple did come through with the updated iPod Touch, and GameCenter, and the new iPod Touch looks like it will be a big seller so it continues to be a good time to develop iOS games.  Really can’t see a reason why anyone would buy any Sony PSP device with the quality of games now on iOS.. at least Nintendo has 3D (sort of).

Every now and then I get mails from people asking if its possible for them to start programming for the iPhone OS on a Windows machine. My first reply is that if they are serious about this – they should just go out and buy the cheapest Mac there is out there for less than $600.

But then, this may be too expensive if you just want to dabble in the environment and see if this is something you want to pursue further. EDUmobile offers a remote mac access facility, which allows you to login to a real Mac using a normal web browser. This can get you started.

Apple is probably never going to release a development environment  / SDK that works on a Windows machine – so don’t expect a miracle to happen.

There are however some illegal ways that you can create a Virtual Mac OS environment on a regular Windows machine and there is the famous “hackintosh” solution – but it is going to probably cost you a lot of productivity time as Apple frequently updates their SDK requiring you to spend time to re-setup things over and over again. I won’t tell you the details and I don’t really encourage this, but it is possible if you are very short changed and if you are desperate. Do note that you will need to eventually buy a Mac when you get to the point of wanting to publish your game as you need a valid machine hardware footprint for that. This is just a stop gap option for you.

So, the truth is that there is no real iPhone SDK that runs on Windows environment – despite what many software vendors may tell you. However – there are some ways for you to develop your iPhone app in Windows.

You can get a bit clever in developing on these environments and then when you are ready to compile you can access a remote Mac like that offered by EDUmobile.

Here are two iPhone development game engines (both offer free trials). Both of them can compile into code that is native to the iPhone. Many apps available in the iPhone App Store have been created with them.

• Unity3D – This game development engine and editor utilizes Boo and C#. The editor works on both Windows and Mac.

• Stonetrip S3D – This game development engine and editor utilizes LUA. The editor can run inside Windows.

The following next two solutions allow you to create apps using web technologies like  HTML, CSS and Javascript. You can then run them through an Objective-C framework that responds to actions within a UIWebView. This allows you to access native functionality on the iPhone.  Both there frameworks are free.

• Appcelerator Titanium – This is the most complete of the development platforms that are currently available, not counting the two game engines above. Extensive support is provided.

• Genuitec MobiOne – This tool is basically an interface designer. It uses the Phonegap framework to deliver native functionality and it runs only on windows.

There are two other other solutions that are in testing and may require upfront payment without any form of trial. They are:

• Flash CS5 – They say you can altogether bypass the Mac with this.

• Dragonfire SDK – Visit the site to sign up for Beta version.

UPDATE:

A new entry to this list is MobiOne. It has indeed come a long way since it was first released with a lot of improvements and new features have been added. It is very easy to use, and you can build your app with the built in drag-n-drop functionality, and test it quickly. It allows you to develop HTML and Javascript based apps from within their IDE. Grab it from this link – http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/ .

The University of Notre Dame‘s yearlong study of eReaders in academics is starting the school year with a bang — a course that will use the iPad as the only textbook students need. The course is entitled Project Management, and each of the 40 students enrolled will be given an iPad to use in lieu of textbooks. The students will be encouraged to integrate their borrowed iPad into their life by syncing their iTunes library, games, and anything else they would like, and to report their findings.

Project Management is a required undergraduate course for students majoring in Management Consulting, IT Management and Entrepreneurship as part of the management curriculum of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business. Participants will come from a wide variety of orientations including: Business, Law, IT, Arts and Letters, Press and Institutional Equity. After the six-week course, the iPads will be given to another set of students and the second group will be studied through surveys, observations and interviews.

Corey Angst, the course professor, makes the important point that the iPad will not be considered a thing unto itself, but rather one piece of of an ever increasing toolkit of resources that students will add to throughout their coursework and their lives. Therefore the study will start out as a consideration of eReaders, but organically morph into the discovery of other uses of iPads and other such devices.

There will be wiki-based discussions about what the students have found to be useful and to share their discoveries with others in the class. It’s quite exciting to see this sort of research being done and I’m sure that the results of this (and other studies yet to come) will make major inroads into a wide range of fields including: business, sociology, IT and literature, just to name a few. You can follow the progress of this study on a blog that has been set up for just this purpose.

Honestly, I don’t even believe this one, but it’s our responsibility as an Apple news site to keep you updated on the latest rumors, so here you go: A Mexican tech site is reporting that a Telcel executive says there will be a new version of the iPhone 4’s handset released as soon as the end of September.

Marco Quatorze, Telcel’s Director of Value Added Services, says that the iPhone 4 will soon go on sale in Mexico with the same hardware as everywhere else, but that as of September 30th (which is purportedly when the free case deal ends), Apple will be releasing brand new hardware for the phone that will fix the seam in the outer band that causes reception issues.

Anyone who’s been paying attention to the issue knows that story’s full of holes — not only does Apple already consider the whole “Antennagate” issue solved, but it’s extremely improbable that they’ll update the hardware so soon and for that reason. It’s much more likely that the company would just extend the free case program rather than update the hardware before the planned cycle. Plus, as we heard from Apple specificially, “Apple has not made an announcement regarding iPhone 4 pricing or availability in Mexico.” Let’s get the phone on sale before we start talking about updates.*

It’s possible that this is just an error in translation. If you want to get a little paranoid, we might even guess that Mr. Quatorze is trying to keep Mexican customers from buying another cellphone, hinting that there are better phones coming just around the corner. Either way, we’re only posting this rumor here for due diligence — it’s extremely unlikely we’ll see a new iPhone 4 in just over a month.

*As noted in the comments here, on the iPhone 4 Mexico post and on Apple’s own site, the iPhone 4 is available in Mexico, but Apple has yet to provide us with an actual statement to that effect.

Maybe it’s coincidence, but probably not. On the eve of a rumored announcement of an updated US $99.00 Apple TV, Roku has cut the price of its media players. The standard definition model has been slashed $20 to $59.99, and the high definition model has been trimmed by $30 to $99.99.

The Roku hardware supports 50 different channels, including Netflix and Vimeo, with no PC or Mac connection needed. Apple is expected to announce a revamped Apple TV, rumored to be called the iTV. It may be built on iOS 4, which would allow many of the iPad and iPhone apps to be run on it.

Of course no one knows for sure what Apple will announce tomorrow, but it’s not uncommon to see price cuts from competitors just before Apple makes its plans public. If you’re set on buying an iTV, you’ll obviously want to wait until Wednesday’s show, but if you’ve had your eye on a Roku, saving a few extra bucks is never a bad thing.

For many people on the go, a full charge on their iPhone just isn’t enough to get them by. Oh sure, they could hunt around for a standard wall outlet or plug into their laptop, but that’s not always possible. So, they might carry a portable battery pack, like the splash Intense. But for green-minded folks, maybe something more sustainable?

The Frostfire Mooncharge is a solar-powered, portable charger for your iPhone 4 that attaches directly to the back of your device. Fully loaded up with the power of the sun (or via USB), it will power your iPhone for an extra 315 hours on standby and provide up to 27 additional hours of music, 10 hours of video, and five hours of talk time. From no charge at all, 20 minutes of sunlight will fill its battery pack to provide five extra minutes of calling or 50 minutes of standby power.

A few negatives for this device, right from the start, are: 1) it appears extremely bulky, and there’s no reported weight for the device, 2) its name is sadly misleading, and therefore 3) we have to leave our caves and brave daytime sunlight to take advantage of its full potential.

As the Atlantic storm season heats up and US East Coast residents warily eye Hurricane Earl’s projected path, the team at Kitty Code has put their flagship iPhone app — Hurricane 3.3 — on sale for US$1.99 through September 5. The separate iPad version, Hurricane HD, remains priced at $3.99. We’ve checked out both the mini and mega versions previously.

There are scores of hurricane-related apps on the store, so if the Big Kahuna isn’t to your liking you have some other options too. Stay safe!

Now I’ve seen everything. To give lie to the meme that there’s an app for that, perhaps a new and upcoming meme will be that there’s a case for that.

The iBottleopener (US $19.99) is a case for an iPhone 3G or 3GS that has a bottle opener on the back. The video, that you’ve probably just seen, sets a new standard for cheesy adverts. The tagline of the ad campaign is “a party in your pocket.” At least they didn’t use “a party in your pants,” which shows that the manufacturers do have a modicum of restraint.

I’m sure that The iBottleopener is the perfect back to school gift for any college student. And iPhone 4 owners won’t be left out of the party, or the pants for that matter, since a case to fit the newest iPhone is on its way.

For adding a beery note to your iDevice lifestyle, this case deserves a hearty No Comment.

Thanks Zack (I think) for sending this in.
