“I have no idea whether this description of how it’s going to work is accurate, but from what I’m hearing Copy-and-Paste is a big part of tomorrow’s announcement.”

Daring Fireball on tomorrow’s iPhone 3.0 announcement. It’s kind of sad when copy and paste can be categorized as a “big part” of an event, but dammit I’m excited.

Expanding browsing in Mobile Safari with Multitouch

I use tabs a lot when I’m browsing on my computer. In fact, I probably command+click links more frequently than I click them. After hundreds of hours of using Mobile Safari on my iPhone since the device’s original launch back in June of 2007, I’ve noticed I always feel boxed in when browsing on the device. It’s not because of the tiny screen. It’s because browsing on iPhone is too linear. I’m accustomed to switching between content at will. iPhone doesn’t offer me this flexibility, and it definitely could with the addition of a simple, unobtrusive multitouch gesture.

First, let me better explain my frustration: Say I’m reading an article online, and halfway through the article, there’s an interesting link. With a conventional desktop browser, I’d just open the link in a new tab and continue reading the first article. On iPhone this is impossible. I have to either: 1. ignore the link, continue reading, then find the link again once I’m finished with the original article, or 2. click the link, browse the new site, then go back to the original page and finish reading the original article.

Now, the solution: allow me to press on a link with one finger and, using the other finger, click on the “window” button on the right of the bottom toolbar to open the link in a new window. That’s it. It’s effectively translating the command+click gesture to multitouch. It’s technically more of a combination of two presses than it is a “gesture,” but it’s logical in my eyes, albeit slightly hidden (then again, a lot of things in the iPhone interface are, eg: tapping the top bar to scroll up to the top a list).

Make it happen, Apple.

I don’t quite understand, but I’m going to take a stab in the red curtain and guess a new version of tumblrette is on its way? If so, I’m excited.

This reminds me of a thought I had on a schoolbus one afternoon…

ROLANDO GOING LIVE DECEMBER 18th!
Exclusively on the iTunes App Store

I realize that we didn’t quite make the August release date, but I’m overjoyed to announce that Rolando will 100% definitely be released on Thursday 18th of December, bar the total destruction of the Internet!

The extra time spent on the game has been well worth it - we’ve had the chance to layer on a ton of extra lacquer and polish, from the 3D pop-up book map and the many refinements to the control system, to the licensed soundtrack by the awesome Mr Scruff and achievements throughout the the game.

There are some new images on the website. Keep checking the site this week for the release trailer and more cool stuff.

Thanks so much for your continued patience, hope you enjoy playing Rolando!

-Simon

I am SO excited I almost don’t care that they forgot to mention the price. Seriously though, Rolando will be the bombai.

Standing outside the orthodentist’s office, toe socks and sandals. I’m cool. Also: trying tumblrette.

Thanks to the magic of synching coupled with a spritz of “iTunes unexpectedly quit” zesty sauce, my (new) iPhone went from 16 to 20 gigabytes. The accelerometer in my previous unit had been malfunctioning since launch, so Apple swapped it out.
