IconThe official app of NZiPhone.com - The home of the iPhone in New Zealand and NZMac.com - Supporting the New Zealand Macintosh community, is here!! Get the FREE app from http://itunes.com/apps/nziphonecomandnzmaccomnews

Get the latest news, forum posts, app listings and reviews, podcasts, video, blog posts and more on your iPod Touch or iPhone, with the ability to read articles whilst offline, without the need for a data connection. Built using the TapLynx iPhone development framework, this application not only keeps you up to date with all that’s happening on NZiPhone.com and NZMac.com, but has the inbuilt ability to let you share what you are reading with friends via email and Twitter.

I'm exceptionally please to be able to provide this app to you all, to access news, forum posts and more from the two sites. Even better, this app does not require you stay online to read any articles that are in the RSS feeds that are linked to...only new items or YouTube clips require an online connection.

Other features in this version include the ability to search downloaded content on your iPod Touch and iPhone, and receive a visual indication as to how many articles have not been read.

The application has been built using the TapLynx iPhone development framework. Thanks to TapLynx for such a superb development tool.

If you are interested in becoming an iPhone developer, I'll be publishing a series of five articles and two YouTube clips over the next 2 weeks related to learning how to use TapLynx and my experience getting on to the App Store. These articles will appear on the NZiPhone.com website.

Enjoy the app. Post any questions or comments about it on the NZiPhone.com website. I'll also list in the forum there about any tweaks to be applied or features that I can hopefully bring into the app in future versions.

Regards, Philip Roy

Eeek! This is all a bit of learning experience for me (and I love that), so I wasn't thinking when I submitted a build of the app with XCode set at iPhone OS 3.1.3...which means if you're not on that you can't use the app.

I'll be submitting a new build to Apple over the weekend.
