I'll try to summarize all the work that I took the application DEVELOP Mussage iPhone in a week . If you do not know yet what Mussage, you can read this post !.

I was doing the steps and tools (mostly free) that I was using.

Use Case Diagram

First of all, and basing on the idea, I made ​​a use case diagram with yuml.me

MockUp

Then a scheme harmonized navigation screens with Balsamiq MockUp :

DER

It is time to design the tables that will have the database! For this we use the designer MySqlWorkBench

Xcode

It is time to program in Objective C ...

Also used the following Frameworks, libraries and tools for IOS:

• FMDB for SQLite
• JSONKit for and receiving Json parsing the Server
• MD5 Hash for sending to the server and authenticate the login
• Internationalization of Strings and Xib in English and Spanish.
• Views QuartzCore for animation
• MediaPlayer for playing songs on iPod

Server Side (PHP)

Graphic Design

Web Application for HTML5

Post in the AppStore

Ready!

The idea

A simple idea with elements that already exist but combinandos of a new form, I will explain through some key concepts:

• Most people use text messaging
• Messages are sent between friends, family and partner.
• Everyone likes listening to music.
• All saved huge amounts of songs on the iPod, between 1,000 and 7,000 depending on the capacity of the device.

From this thought: Would not it be nice to send a song with a text to a friend? and the reality is that there is no application that lets you do this easily. Another obstacle is the copyright of the artists ...

EUREKA!

Birth

Available in iTunes AppStore

It is version 1.1 with significant improvements made to the previous version.

Future

The mouse came with the popularity of the PC and was one of the reasons for any "simple individual" can handle easily the computer back in 1995. Before he had to make things as difficult as typing "cd wordpress" with the keyboard to access a directory. But now you could double click on a folder.

This great revolution that resulted in the time that peripheral (and just as my parents are about to understand the diferncia between a right click and left click) is about to disappear to be replaced by the multitouch.

While Apple always stood out to offer its users friendly interfaces (such as when he created the one-button mouse) managed to bring their screens millions of users with unprecedented multi-touchscreen mobile phone: the iPhone.

The Touchscreen existed

Has ciendo memory, many years before the release of the iPhone in 2007 and existed touch screens and the best known product was the Palm. The PDA never succeeded. Perhaps because they were imitating the click of a mouse but with a plastic tipped pen that put pressure on the screen (the stylus). And like with a cursor, only being in one place at once.

I remember seeing pictures from the iPhone online and think "but who wants to touch the screen with your hands?". I was crazy. Is that for decades we have been accustomed to pushing buttons (like Desmond on Lost: "Push the button!"). Cell phones were all with numeric keypad and some offered full QWERTY keyboards (and minutely useless).

So ... how to break the old paradigm of push buttons to dial a phone number? At that time there was a Palm touchscreen model that was also mobile phone and had very few sales. What is the difference besides the iPhone was much more fashionable?

The difference is the Multitouch. And the technology that came with it.

Without going into too much detail I'll try to explain the difference between multitouch system introduced by Apple with its iPhone and the touchscreen system "classic" (which are more like a click). The screen with multitouch is a continuous electrical flow over the entire visual surface where by posing a finger is interrupted. And that disruption is reflected in the device as a "touch". It has the ability to interrupt the current screen simultaneously (using multiple fingers at once) achieving the multitouch. No need to put pressure on the screen. REPEAT: no need to put pressure on the screen:. This new system dispensed with the use of plastic pencils or other items. With the fingers of the hand, so easy.

We must say q ue iPhone with multitouch was accompanied by an operating system for you. The best example to adopt this technology is to manipulate photos with your hands. When you open a photo and you zoom with two fingers is a completely natural experience. You do not have to click a magnifying glass, or a "plus" or type "200%". Slide your thumb and forefinger. It's simple intuitive is incredible. Go to the NEXT photo by dragging your finger or zoom back to the original with a "double tap" (two touch a row). Same for manipulating maps, draw or play Field Runner.

Once you start to use the multitouch and no turning back. You do not want to use more than the mouse. I find this ridiculous, outdated past. Why move a plastic gizmo when I could touch the screen to select what you want?.

Goodbye to the mouse, throw it away.

Some quick tips to give you more battery on your iPhone.

After reading the post by Javier Martin on the use that gives your iPhone, I decided to make this short post with some tips that may prove useful for both humans now rely on our mobile phones.

While they are oriented to the iPhone, most can be applied to all smartphones (or should I say superphones ?) that from this new era of touchscreen, connectivity and GPS for 24 hours has become a new challenge of energy conservation .

Tips to live longer your mobile phone:

• Lower the brightness of the screen (I have it 25% and I see great).
• Disable GPS location when not in use (it is said that Android-consuming).
• Turn off bluetooth.
• Automatic screen lock a minute.
• Use only the Notifications (Push) necessary. Can be configured per application.
• Time to check mails automatically in 30 minutes (depending on your needs).

The activities that are being consumed battery on the phone and addictive games (such as Fieldrunner ) that cause us to be for more than one hour continuously with display on . Do not forget the camera (more if your phone has a flash!) Or film.

As the battery life of iPhone is limited in its total amount of recharge, we recommend plugging it when your load is at 10% (or less) and leave loading to complete.

I hope these recommendations are likely to be useful until you exit the new iPhone 4.0 (Do people in April 2010?) That have removable battery rumored and will last longer.
