The new Apple iPhone 4 is out and iOS 4 Gold master edition has been seeded to all developers who are eagerly waiting to make feature rich iOS 4 compatible apps.

With iPhone 4 sales already surpassing 1.5 Million mark and Apple opening up a store for iOS 4 compatible apps it is very clear that the future is open for iPhone Game and application developers to explore. However game developers need to keep in mind few important iPhone 4 features while developing iOS 4 compatible games.

Few are the important iPhone 4 features which iPhone game developers should not miss out on.

Listropolis’ Take:

The crew here at Listropolis has made the switch to Android, but we’re still huge Apple fanboys, so we don’t mind a few iPhone lists from time to time. There’s nothing new in this post, but it’s a simple, in-your-face, list for game devs.

Law and Business of the Entertainment Industries, 5th Edition (Law & Business of the Entertainment Industries)

Entertainment Law in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

Entertainment Industry Economics: A Guide for Financial Analysis

I’ll start by giving you a little insight into my day. I own 5 businesses, and run a few websites. This isn’t a pitch for my companies…merely a way to show you what I do, so you might be able to apply what I use to what YOU do.

My largest business is Lake Nona Pools. We clean and service pools in the Orlando area. I’m also the broker for a real estate company, co-owner of a photography company, and dabble in social media and web design. Add in roughly 10 other sites (including this one) that I run, and you’ll see why the right tools are essential for my sanity.

Following are the tools I use, in no specific order:

There is NO chance I’d survive without OmniFocus. I loosely use David Allen’s GTD rules, and OmniFocus has everything I need to keep me on track. I also have an iPhone, and the iPhone app is one of the best GTD apps in the app store. It’s nice being alerted to tasks when you’re close to the location they need to be done. This app is the glue that holds everything together for me.

I can’t tell you how many start pages I’ve had in the past…there are just too many. I tried Netvibes 3 times before coming back to it for good. It’s a very powerful tool if used correctly. I have different tabs setup for each of my companies, so I can open up my browser, click on the appropriate tab, and I have almost everything I need in front of me. Most of my tabs have a contact manager (I’ll get to that next) at the bottom, and the upper portion is filled with small notes I need, or my bookmarks tagged for that company. I can go to my Lake Nona Pools tab and see all of my clients, any actions I need to do for those clients, my delicious bookmarks tagged with LNP (forums, etc), a link to craigslist to post marketing, a craigslist template I use that I can just copy & paste, and my gmail all sitting nicely in one place. I can’t get everything done through Netvibes, but it’s pretty damn close.

Man oh man do I love me some Highrise. 37signals has always been one of my favorite companies. I’m addicted to their design concepts, and their user experience in their apps is unmatched. Highrise is a contact management system. They offer a free account for under 250 clients, and so far, I haven’t hit that number. Could be because I have a different highrise account for each company, but I love these guys and have paid for some of their other services. If you keep track of your clients, this is a must. You can log phone calls, send emails (that automatically save a copy with your client), set up reminders, tag clients, and just about anything else you’d expect from a CMS. I use the vCard export feature constantly, and track all calls through Highrise. I have an affiliate link, but in the interest of keeping this post about the products, and not about me capitalizing off it, I have used the regular link above.

Another life saver. I have to send out recurring invoices for my pool clients, and my web design clients, and Freshbooks crushes the competition! For a startup, these guys have completely impressed me, especially with the frequent improvements made to the service. I talk to a lot of the other people in my industry, and most of them dread sending invoices. I tell them about Freshbooks, and they are blown away by the simplicity. My typical experience is as follows: I add a new client to Highrise (mentioned above), I export the vCard, and use the “Import vCard” feature in Freshbooks. It pulls all of the info over easily. I then setup a recurring profile for the new client, and have it set to send all invoices on the 20th of each month. I have chosen to allow my clients to pay online via PayPal (which they LOVE), and when a paypent is made through PayPal, it is automatically posted as paid in Freshbooks. If I receive a check, it’s a 3 click process to enter the payment. Clients can log in to their account and see their payment history and outstanding invoices (which they also love), and I can track expenses and estimates. There’s also an accountant login with more reports than my accountant has ever needed. There’s also a “Report Card” feature that tells you how you’re doing against other Freshbooks users in your field. Very solid app!

Say what you want about the big G, but you can’t beat gMail. With 7gigs of storage space, you never have to delete emails, and with Google’s trusted search, it’s never a chore trying to find one you’ve archived. I’ve been using gMail since the beginning, so I have a pretty detailed setup, but using filters and folders, I have a way to track emails for each company all in one place.

Google Voice is still in private beta, but it’s worth signing up to receive an invite. I was lucky enough to sign up when it was Grand Central, and now that it’s been updated to gVoice, I’m in love with it more than ever. Easily the best feature for me, from a business standpoint, is being able to have it ring my phone as the gVoice number (as opposed to the client’s number). When my phone rings through my gVoice line, I know to answer it, “Lake Nona Pools.” It’s a nice touch that gives our company a slight edge over our competition – for free! I have it setup for the real estate company also, and it works flawlessly. The voicemail transcripts need some work, but I can usually get the idea. There are a few iphone apps available that are also worth looking into.

I promise this is the last of the Google Services (although I use adsense and analytics…but usually not daily). Google Reader is a feed reader. I’m not going to get into what a feed reader is, or which is the best, but I want to explain how I use it. I have gReader setup with feed categories for each company. I’m able to see what’s going on in my fields as well as look for stories to write about on my blogs. I usually spend about 30 minutes catching up on my feeds every morning.

This is probably more about using Twitter on a daily basis, but if you do use Twitter, I recommend Tweetie for iPhone or Mac (actually, both). I’m pretty sure I’ve tried every twitter app made, and I’m still hooked on Tweetie. As an entrepreneur, you want to make sure you’re using Twitter properly, or it won’t matter what app you’re using. My daily use is simple. I have 5 main twitter accounts. I have set one of them up to post from a custom RSS feed. That one is simple…there’s very little interaction, but my followers love the content, and the sites I pull the content from love the traffic. I also have one for my pool company. I use this one to answer pool questions people ask me. The thing is, and the part MOST people overlook on twitter, I use search more than anything else. I have searches running for keywords related to pools. If someone mentions they need a new pool filter, you better believe I’ll get the tweet, and I’ll be there to offer them a filter. Spammy? Nope – not in my opinion. If someone mentions they just had a baby, they should have companies tweeting back asking them if they need a larger home, if they need new insurance, baby products, etc. I thing Twitter will get to this, but it seems like it’s taking time for people to utilize it this way. Tweetie makes it dead simple to see when a new search result comes up – if you look at the shot above, you’ll see the little blue dots – they represent new mentions, DMs, and searches.

Yeah, I know…everybody’s on Facebook already. So why mention it here? Because it’s an amazing tool for entrepreneurs. With over 250 millions users, there are plenty of your future clients on there. So how do you use it outside of reconnecting with high school friends? Pages. I have set up Facebook Pages for each of my businesses, and I actively post content related to that company. I see far too many people setup a Facebook account and try to use it to represent their business – especially in real estate. Problem is, it comes off very poorly. If you are a real person on facebook, people will be interested in what you have to say, and when you set up a page and ask them to becaome a fan, there’s a good chance they will. Once they are fans of the page, they’ll expect a different type of content. I make it a point to post at least one thing loosely related to each company daily. As an example, I posted a video of a guy jumping into a frozen lake on my pool company page. There were multiple comments made, and I received one new client from it. Use the tools to your advantage, but do a little research first. People want entertainment…not constant sales pitches.

I know…I know – it’s not an app. I’m not a certified fanboy, but I do see how important my iPhone has become in my daily routine. Yes, there are other phones out there that do a few things better, but for an entrepreneur, the iPhone is a rock-solid staple in my daily grind. Most of the apps and tools I’ve mentioned above have apps for the iPhone. This is important because you don’t want to be trapped behind your desk all day. There is a whole set of apps I use daily on my iPhone not included in this list, but that’s for another post. Being able to keep track of my day with OmniFocus, follow my twitter searches, make calls FROM my gVoice number, check in on my facebook friends, find addresses to my new clients, read my gReader feeds, and listen to streaming music in between, makes my iPhone the perfect companion for surviving my crazy workday.

That rounds out my not-so-perfect-but-good-enough-for-me list of apps every entrepreneur should be using daily. I use other apps, but these are the most-often, and most-critical of the bunch. What apps do you use regularly? What apps can you NOT live without? Tell us in the comments.

iPhone Application Development For Dummies

The iPhone Developer's Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone 3.0 SDK (2nd Edition)

This is a nice “Welcome to the family” post. It discusses the ease of setting up your new Mac, explains MobileMe, and Windows compatibility. This is a very solid post getting you started with your Mac, and helping you find ways to expand your experience – and if you don’t get enough from the post, check out their Mac 101 series for even more tips. Worth a read if you got your Mac today, or have had one for years.

This post has a ton of good information of accessories like cases, power adapters, and a handful of other useful items every MacBook owner should know about. The last item discussed is AppleCare, and I can’t stress how important I feel that service is. I’ll let TUAW explain the deets on it, but just know that I’m a huge supporter of AppleCare.

Since the MacBook Pro is often used as a desktop replacement, this post goes into more depth than the MacBook post. This post discusses ideas for travelers and gamers, and has a few nice software suggestions, as well as a nice list of cases to consider.

My niece got one of these a few months ago, so this post came in very handy. I’m an iPhone owner, and didn’t realize there were so many differences between the two. This post has a nice list of apps to get you started, lists a few good cases, earphone suggestions, and is just a well rounded guide for getting the most out of your new iPod Touch. My personal favorite is the “Oooh and Ahhh Demo” mentioned at the end of the post. We’ve all done it, but now there’s a guide for it. On a side note – the Nike+ app for the new iPod Touch is too freaking cool to not be available for the iPhone…..just sayin’.

THIS is why I love TUAW! They miss nothing when it comes to Apple. I never would have thought to do a post on a gift card, but this post has 8 tips on how to use your shiny new gift card. Pure TUAW awesomeness!

I went to the Apple Store in Orlando yesterday, and it was the first time I got to play with the new nanos, and they’re so much cooler looking in person. I imagine this will be one of the most read posts in this series, and the information discussed won’t let you down. Consider this a guide for setting up, using, taking care of, and anything else nano related. Very thorough.

I was starting to think TUAW made a mistake with this post, but then I started thinking about how amazing Macs are with digital media. I own a photography company, and use Lightroom and Photoshop almost daily. I think I took for granted how easy it is to process digital photos on a Mac, but TUAW really goes into great detail about using your new digital camera on your Mac.

If I didn’t do video editing, I would have purchased one of these instead of my Mac Pro (though the iMac handles video editing just fine). Like the other posts, this discussing everything from getting started to printing on your new iMac. I’m pretty sure you’ll find the Mac 101 series a huge asset with the iMac too.

The phone that started the touchscreen revolution. The TUAW post has info on cases, apps, links to user guides, and plenty of basic info to get any new iPhone owner headed into iPhone bliss. If you got an iPhone today, head over to this post and bookmark it. It provides everything you need to become a master of your domain device.

Cube is a singleplayer and multiplayer first person shooter that provides satisfying and fast oldskool gameplay. This opensource game is built on an entirely new and very unconventional engine. Cube is a landscape-style engine that pretends to be an indoor FPS engine, which combines very high precision dynamic occlusion culling with a form of geometric mipmapping on the whole world for dynamic LOD for configurable fps & graphic detail. Most of the engine design is targeted at reaching feature richness through simplicity of structure and brute force, rather than finely tuned complexity. 
 This iphone port is provided by fernLightning is a technology demo that supports all of the functionality of the desktop version including multiplayer, in-game editing, cooperative editing, demo recording, etc (though some of these are impractical on the iphone) – please visit the official Cube homepage http://www.cubeengine.com/ for more information. Furthermore we encourage people to check out the newest version of Cube – Cube 2: Sauerbraten – a far more powerful and modern version. fernLighting thanks Wouter van Oortmerssen of dot3labs for his permission to release this port.

iPhone For Dummies: Includes iPhone 3GS

iPhone for Programmers: An App-Driven Approach (Deitel Developer Series)

iPhone Application Development For Dummies

I’ll just come out and say it – I’m not too happy with my decision to upgrade my iPhone to 2.0. I was having a great time living with my jailbroken 1.1.4, but my desire to be an early adopter forced me into upgrading, and now I’m stuck with it – although spending some time at TUAW today made me feel a little better.

Now don’t get me wrong, having the choice between 20 different tip calcs is great, and an app designed to see how long I can press a button will surely help me forget how great (and stable) 1.1.4 was. But I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’d like to see on my iPhone, and here’s my list – complete with bad ’shopped jobs.

#1 Loco Roco

So stupid, yet Loco Roco was my favorite PSP game. It’s a relaxing game that would involve tilting the iPhone to the left and right to move your blob through the stage, and occasionally jilt the iPhone for a jump. I haven’t seen this on anyone’s radar, but it seems like a perfect port.

#2 – iZelda

Like this will ever happen. But, the Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass for the DS used the styles for everything, and being able to boot the styles for my finger would be heaven.

#3 – iWarioWare

There are a ton of Wii games that would port nicely to the iPhone, but WarioWare seems like it would be the most fun. With the accelerometers, you could use your iPhone in a few dozen ways to complete the minigames. I’m thinking an iStrap might be needed for this one.

#4 – Frenzic

I know I’m not the first to wish for this. Frenzic is just so damn fun, and would be a perfect fit. This one might actually make an appearance.

#5 – iLine Rider

I suck at Line Rider, but I always enjoy trying to make the guy do a loop. I see us being able to draw lines with one finger, and move the canvas with two fingers. Add in some accelerometer zaniness, and this could be a hit.

#6 – Mattel Football

Shut up! This is a great game, and I don’t care what you say about it. It’s so simple. I’ve wasted way too many hours playing the original, and would love to have it again.

#7 – TomTom

I have not bought a 3G iPhone, but if TomTom was released tomorrow, I’d be rushing to the Apple store. I have a TomTom, but I never update it, so my maps are ancient. Plus, it’s huge. I’ve seen hints that TomTom is coming, so I’m very anxious to see it come to fruition.

#8 – iSlingBox

The ONLY reason I miss my old WinMo phone, being able to watch live TV on my cell through SlingBox is something that needs to be experienced by everyone. I took a road trip once, and was able to watch a football game that I would have otherwise missed. With 3G speeds, SlingBox should be a natural fit to the iPhone.

#9 – iSkype

Duh. This is probably one of the most requested apps, so I don’t have much to say that hasn’t already been said.

#10 – iChat

WTF Apple? Where is iChat? I’m hoping that we get this in September when Push is initiated, but I’m starting to lose hope. AIM is fine, but I need more. I’d also settle for iAdium.

#11 – Alert Thingy (or any Native FriendFeed app)

I’m hooked on FriendFeed, and although their web app is fast, and beautiful, I’d still like a native version – especially with Push functionality. I’d also like to see the links from FF to open in a window in the app instead of opening Safari.

#12 – Google Reader

There is an app in installer.app called Feeds (screenshot above) and it’s the PERFECT gReader app. You can read your feeds offline, and all of the functionality of gReader is built into the app. I’m really looking forward to having this one back. By far my favorite app so far.

#13 – iSirius

Another app that’s in installer.app is uSirius. It allows you to stream Sirius Satellite Radio, and it’s amazing. Even over edge, the sound was great, and had quick buffer times. I hope this makes it into the app store, but there’s no word on the uSirius website about it.

So what’s on your list? Tell me the app you’d like to see in the App Store in the comments.
