Mitchell Waite wrote a tiny iPhone application and he’s hit the big time — Apple will feature his iBird application in a TV commercial.
Here’s excited.
Digital Domain - Shooting to Software Stardom on the iPhone - NYTimes.com reports:
“‘I look at it like Apple paid me $10 million to show my application on every single major network, every major television show — no, I can’t even put a figure on it,’ Mr. Waite said.”
It’s a lovely story: instant stardom, and of course, instant money.

Your iPhone can create mind maps

If you’re like me, you think visually, and create lots of mind maps.
I rely on mind maps for just about everything, and although I have all the major commercial mind mapping applications like MindManager and NovaMind Pro, I nevertheless like to use index cards for real-time mind maps that no one else sees.
I’ll record my index card creations by snapping a photo with iSight, from the indispensable EverNote application — this is free if you use the basic service; I’ve opted for the Premium.
Now there’s another way to mind map casually — on your iPhone. I’ve just started using iBlueSky, which is fun, because it sends my creations to any email address.
There are lots of things to enjoy with iBlueSky. Mind mapping on the iPhone reports:
“iBlueSky (iTunes link) takes things a small step further (and costs a little more at $7.99USD). While the basic interface is the same, there are multiple benefits to this one. First, it adds landscape mode, which is an improvement for both editing and viewing.”
