Please note that the port of VLC is NOT public yet, but available to ZodTTD’s beta-testers.

Quote:

VLC by is a popular multi-format video and audio player for a wide variety of systems. Within the past few days I have successfully ported over VLC to the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. I have also built and used my ogg4iphone frontend for vlc4iphone.

What is vlc4iphone capable of? At the moment it may be limited by only a small handfull of decoders, but soon that list will grow! It currently allows you to drag and drop the following popular media formats onto your iPhone/iPod Touch for playback: MPEG / MPG,AVI,MP3.
It also supports some lesser known media formats.

Soon it will play: FLAC,OGG
I am also researching playback of: VCD,DivX,WMA,WMV

Currently vlc4iphone is only available to ZodTTD.com Beta Testers though as more decoders get implemented and some bugs fixed up, a public release will be made with source code found at my git repo in the downloads section of the forum. This should all happen very soon.

Beta testers, you should see vlc4iphone v0.5.0 available in your ZodTTD.com Installer.app beta repo.

What codecs do you want to see supported? Let your voice be heard, reply to this article.

Mobile Chat is a chat application for iPhone’s. There are WIP news abou the upcomming v3 release.

Quote:

Well, we’ve begun testing the MC 3.0 application and so far, everything we’ve claimed is a reality. Here’s the reality of our tests:
1. We had a conversation from a computer running Adium to an iPhone running MobileChat.
2. We chatted for about 20 minutes at which time, we restarted the iPhone.
3. MobileChat’s new backend went into play and it immediately began queuing the incoming messages for the iPhone.
4. As soon as the iPhone came back online and MobileChat was opened, the messages started coming down to the iPhone.
The person running Adium, had no idea the user’s iPhone was rebooted. They just thought the person was getting their IMs…and they were!
The new MobileChat truly re-defines instant messaging on the iPhone. We’re very happy with our tests and we’re excited to release the new version as soon as AppStore opens up. (Whenever that may be.)
Questions? Comments? Let us know what you think based on what you’ve heard so far!

Giana’s Return aims to be a sequel of “The great Giana Sisters”, an alltime classic game published by Rainbow Arts many many years ago.

Apparently there is an iPhone version to come…

Quote:

ZodTTD has showed interest in making a port of Giana’s Return to the iPhone once it’s done. Of course this will depend on his schedule and on the public demand.

ZodTTD’s answer at the blog:

It’s official. I would love to see some more support of this awesome project. Bringing it to the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch will give this game a wider appeal too.

Be sure to show your support as well.

Great job devs! 🙂

The coder of MobileChat has posted his opinion about the recently updated iPhone SDK.

Quote:

I can’t say too much due to the NDA Apple makes their developers agree to, so for specific details look around.

Instead, I’m just going to take this time to rant about the SDK updates…

Regardless of the fact that this is now the 6th beta we’ve been given, and it should be expected, it doesn’t get any less annoying having to change our apps because Apple didn’t like the wording of certain methods or constants, or felt they should function differently.

Look, I completely understand the changes are for good reason, most of them make the SDK more consistent and generally better. It is just incredibly aggravating having to updates the apps each time.
