I recently downloaded the latest drawing app available for the iPhone. I have not been a huge fan of the others as they never felt quite right. Autodesk seems to have offered up something truly good, Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile.
The main difference I felt between Autodesk’s offering and Brushes was that Sketchbook lacked the ‘vector-esc’ functionality which brushes relies on and instead implemented a system where the data is all bitmap. Brushes uses XML data to draw, though it works well it doesn’t feel all that natural or responsive. Also Sketchbook carried over its rather intuitive tool set from its desktop offering Sketchbook Pro. Over all Sketch book is a really solid offering and definitely worth the $2.99 cost.

First things first, I am posting from that new wonderful little iPhone app that came out for Wordpress. That said, it’s here to get me to post more often.
Today a few of my coworkers and I shirked out Nickelodeon duties and made our way over to the Children’s Museum of Mannhatten. My new boss was also in our little our group. We went to go see it’s small exhibit of original Golden Book illustrations.
So I broke down the other day and headed over to the AT&T store near my building in Times Square. Unless you have been living in a cave for the past few days you undoubtedly heard that Apple dropped the price of its mu touted iPhone device, originally the 8 GB model was $599, now its $399. Right away that got me thinking and i felt that all the trade offs were now worth while, I will get to my dislikes later.Unfortunately the price cut has over shadowed all news with the new iPod devices, and on trading days when Apple’s stock should have risen it has fallen almost 10 points. The other devices include a video iPod Nano, big hard drive and UI upgrades to the “iPod Classic” (80 GB and 160GB models!) and a thing called iPod Touch, which is basically an iPhone with more space and no phone. It was WiFi too! Whats even better is they are releasing an iTunes WiFi store that can be used on the iPhone and iPod Touch, a great way to nab impulse buyers. Read the rest of this entry »

| This is my obligatory iPhone post. You would suspect that I would have been one of the many who waited on line last weekend to get one of these beauties, I think not. Instead I went home and spent the weekend in Connecticut. Once there I could not escape the urge to swing over to the local Apple Store and give it a go. Wow was I surprised to find that had I wanted to buy one, I would have been turned away. Though I did get to play with one of the many on display.
