Does App Store.app Need Queuing & Download Progress?
If only there was an “Add to Queue” option, that adds the desired application to a list of apps to be downloaded when a WiFi connection is established. The apps would automatically download when you get home, back to the office, etc.
Another issue I have with the App Store’s downloading process is that it forces you out of the App Store itself when you choose to download an application. Why does it need to send the user back to their Home screen? If the user is interested in placing the new app in a specific position/folder, they can do this when they choose to leave or are done shopping.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Much needed features.

Cody reviewed Alfred app for Mac when it first came out in March, but I didn’t really care about the application back then. I was a regular and happy Spotlight user who didn’t need to install a new tool to search my Mac faster. Then something happened over the past months: I started storing lots of files in my Dropbox.

Meet My Default Twitter Client on iPhone, Weet
Twitter clients on the iPhone? We had enough, thank you. That’s what I used to say to any developer pitching me and asking whether I thought yet another iteration of Twitter on the iPhone would be a good idea. I was wrong, and here’s why: despite the fact that a genre could be (is) over-crowded and saturated, there’s always the possibility to do better. And as Twitter as a platform is constantly evolving, giving up on ideas just because of competitors is silly.
It’s a fact that we have hundreds of clients to choose from. What’s not so obvious is that you never know who may come up next.
So here we are, talking about Weet. Developed by Raptor Apps and designed by ex-Iconlicious pixel rockstar Marcelo Marfil, Weet was released last week with much buzz over Twitter and other Apple-related blogs. I beta tested the app all along, but I decided to take my time and use it for some more days before writing up something about it.
I’ve been using Weet for a month as the default Twitter client on my iPhone. In fact, I deleted all the other Twitter apps I had. Here’s why. Read more
