This behind the scenes look at AT&T's iPhone 3GS distribution workflow looks very busy indeed! To an uninitiated outsider, those boxes look like they are just whizzing around the warehouse arbitrarily, but I'm sure there's a logical context to the way they are organized!
So as I was reading about Google's new Australia office in the Sydney Morning Herald online, I thought the photo of their lobby looked suspiciously familiar. I know that greasy, hazy low light blurriness! I thought to myself. Sure enough after checking the meta-data, the pic was taken on an iPhone. I don't see media photographers dying out just yet, but it's interesting to note the ubiquity of Apple's flagship phone.
The iPhone OS is so new and different and amazing, but remember that the operating system and application frameworks share a technical DNA that stretches all the way back to 1969's AT&T's Bell Laboratories. The software that developers use today for the 30,000 apps in the store is built on the good work that started well before many of us were born.
Note Trainer is a virtual piano that asks you to play random notes and measures the speed at which you can play them. You can download it from iTunes (iTunes Link) and I've added a permanent page here for the application. If anyone has any feature suggestions or comments about the app please leave them in the comments!
