Since the early days of my career, it has always been a minor goal of mine to have one of my technology accomplishments covered by the venerable tech web site http://slashdot.org

It appears the recent Apple crackdown on apps has spilled over to Utilities as well. Yesterday we received an email from Apple stating that WiFi-Where has been removed from the app store because "...There are no published APIs that provide the ability to manipulate the wireless connection or the show level of information regarding the wireless connection as demonstrated in the application...."

It also appears that similar products like WifiTrak, WiFiFoFum, yFy Network Finder, WiFi Get, eWifi, WiFi Analyzer have also been pulled as well.

WiFi-Where version 1.1 is now live on the App Store!

New Features include:
- Added several more filtering options.
- All networks now saved to database. Filtering options are only used to filter what is shown in scanning list.
- When changing filtering options, hotspots are no longer deleted.
- (NEW) WiFi-Where keeps track of the distance traveled while scanning.
- Changed MIME type of CSV and KML attachments to be application/octet-stream.
- Current IP Address shown in network details if you are connected to that hotspot.

Well, it's been a few days now and most folks have heard about Apple's now unveiled iPad. There are many different opinions about the relevance of it, and most pundits are quick to jump onto the iPad-hater wagon. There are myriad reasons given as to its short-coming, including (but not limited to) its inability to multi-task, its lack of a camera, its lack of any meaningful way to connect peripherals aka USB, etc, etc, etc.

If you're in the market for a robust OLE DB provider for your development, I highly suggest you check out my friend Sean's company Cherry City Software. He has a slew of commercially released and production tested modules for Windows 200x/XP/Vista/7. Check him out!

Finally!

Our latest application, WiFi-Where is available on the App Store. It took a long time to get approved, but it's finally here!

Find it on the app store here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wifi-where/id348647682?mt=8

Gambling Planet recently added our iPhone games High Roller and Ten Thousand to their web site.

We are proud to announce our latest release for the iPhone and iPod touch. Twist Tac Toads is a fun "twist" on the classic game of Tic Tac Toe. It may sound easy enough, but one toad hopping can start a chain reaction that changes the whole board. You'll have to think ahead to keep your toads on the board and in line, and get your opponent's toads hopping off into the swamp.

We've submitted two apps to the App Store:

High Roller Lite - This is the free, ad-supported version of High Roller. It offers the same exciting gameplay as the full version. It supports single player only, and does not allow users to appear on the online leaderboards. For more information on High Roller, check out our product page: http://bit.ly/7L8DPz.

For a limited time we are offering our newest game, High Roller for only $0.99!

High Roller is a fun game for all ages. Perfect for the car drive to visit family or at your holiday parties. And with support for up to 4 players, you can get friends and family in on the action.

Merry Christmas, a little early, from your friends at Three Jacks.
