T-Mobile USA launches web2go content stack and plans, sounds more like web'n'walk than everFiled under: Multimedia, Software, T-MobileIn the UK, T-Mobile-speak for web content on your phone is "web'n'walk." Historically, the branding hasn't been used in the US -- but they are getting closer now with the launch of "web2go." The new Web browsing experience (T-Mobile's language, not ours) incorporates an all-new content stack that features a customizable home page and access to a My Downloads feature that'll allow certain apps and media to be moved between phones when you upgrade (frickin' finally). T-Mobile's also using the opportunity to launch new unlimited data bundles that include data and messaging in a single package....

Despite the fact that many developers would welcome more rendering-engine compatibility, anyone expecting Microsoft to switch out its "Trident" engine and replace it with WebKit in Internet Explorer (IE) -- especially in IE 8 -- is misguided....
I don't think anyone was seriously considering IE8 was going to use WebKit over Trident, were they? It's already into developer preview mode. It'd be nice to see IE9 consider it, though. - Mark Trapp

Developer Wants 40 Stories in GreenpointIn 2005, the city approved new upzoning laws for the Greenpoint waterfront, allowing up to 30 stories (pictured: the city's rendering of what the waterfront could look like). Now the Brooklyn Paper reports that developer Dean Palin (the man behind this monstrosity) wants to build a 40-story, 422-unit rental tower as part of a 620-unit development at his 155 West Street property. Brownstoner points out that he "paid a whopping $84,750,000 for the site a couple years back and has just recently filed for demolition permits." He'll have to fight to get those extra 10 stories, which he claims to...

“Just give me a damn status!” growled Murray, the aging IT project manager who everyone thought would have been retired by now. In fairness, the fifty-nine year old’s job performance hadn’t waned one bit through his decades-long tenure at Bell Labs. In fact, some would even say that in his later years, he traded some of his trademarked ferocity for geniality. “Dammit,” Murry barked two seconds later at Tom Limoncelli, one of the developers sitting around the conference table, “I don’t have all day! Give me a status!” “Okay, okay,” Tom nervously responded, flipping through some papers, “we’re… uh,...

Why Google Chrome Needs Add-Ons: Firefox Users Download 1 Billion (GOOG)Google's (GOOG) Chrome Web browser has settled down to around 0.7% market share, according to the latest stats from Net Applications. Sad. What could boost that? One thing peopl have asked for since Google introduced Chrome this summer: An add-ons platform so developers could write nifty plugins, toolbars, extensions, etc. Proof that's important: Mozilla said yesterday that Firefox users have now downloaded 1 billion Firefox add-ons. We don't know how many add ons-per-Firefox download that equals, but we bet it's at least a couple. Moreover, we bet it follows the 80/20 rule -- 20% of Firefox users have probably downloaded...

A future without programming (InfoWorld)InfoWorld - A few years ago, self-proclaimed nondeveloper Kevin Smith worked for a software company that tried to build a project tracking tool using Microsoft .Net. Some 15 developers spent a year with little success. "After burning though a million dollars and still without a product, the company called it quits," says Smith, now managing partner of NextWave Performance, a consultancy in Denver, Colo....

Google’s Catch and Release Developer Ecosystem [Voices]By John Furrier, Blogger, Furrier.org I am very impressed lately by Google’s commitment to open source. Specifically, I love their “Catch and Release”strategy for developing their ecosystem of developers and partners. This strategy for ecosystem development is much different than Microsoft’s old model (closed ecosystem embrace and extend). Google is earning credibility in a new way by enabling key technology and then by releasing code for open collaboration and development - Catch and Release. Read the rest of this post...

Facebook Drops Limits on Emails for Developers One of the biggest problems with Facebook’s platform for developers is the limits placed on them. Whether it’s a limit on the number of invites they can send, a limit on the types of emails they can send users, there are many restrictions. Today one of those restrictions have been loosened and developers can “now incorporate a number of HTML tags so” they can format messages as they wish. Included in the loosening of the restrictions is the ability to include FBML tags including fb:restricted-to and fb:name in the subjects to make emails more targeted at each individual user....

Rolando, one of the best looking iPhone games, plays even betterI’ve been excited about an iPhone game named Rolando ever since a video of it spread throughout the internet back in July right before the launch of the iPhone 3G (and App Store). The developers had hoped to release it in August, but that came and went, and the buzz largely subsided. But today I got a chance to play the basically completed version of the game — it’s even better than the original demo video — the buzz will be back soon. The game, developed by Hand Circus and being released by one of the fast rising iPhone gaming...

Google Contacts Sync for BlackberryAs more of its services are used in business environments, Google started to provide synchronization tools for mail, calendar and contacts, but their launch wasn't timely and they were pretty limited. For example, the Google Calendar/Outlook sync tool is limited to the main calendar, while the Blackberry sync application doesn't upload preexisting events to Google Calendar. You can find third-party tools that offer a better experience, but synchronization should be a built-in feature of Gmail and Google Calendar. Creating APIs is a good way to make sure that developers can create applications for more obscure platforms or less common needs,...

A local focus: two new case studiesFrom the practical to the political, from the serious to the silly, developers of over 150,000 sites around the world continue to inspire us with their creative uses of the Google Maps API.To celebrate this blossoming ecosystem, we've redesigned our Case Studies video site. Timed with this relaunch, we've got two new videos showcasing innovative API uses, this time for sites that help you make the most of where you live.Yelp was an early and eager adopter of the Google Maps API. As their local reviews site has grown in size and geography, Yelp has aggressively built upon our platform with intuitive neighborhood maps, static maps that load quickly but...
