Hey Guys,
Been a listener since episode 2 – this is a show I look forward to every week.
Anyway, keep it up. I agreed with most of your iPad analysis. Personally, I think I’m going to be doing separate apps for iPad, though perhaps sharing data between it and iPhone apps.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the podcast. How did you originally find out about us?
Obviously, we’re pretty excited about the iPad too – there is so much opportunity with it. Good luck with your apps!

Hey guys,
Great show once again. I agree that iPhone OS is getting to be an increasingly silly name, but remember when Apple used to call it OS X Touch? I wonder why they changed it.

Ya know, I can’t remember how I first heard about the podcast.
It’s fun to listen to since I’m going through a lot of the same stuff.
One thing you guys shouldn’t take for granted is each other – it’s really hard to find someone with the same sensibility to work with.
Cheers.

@Luke
I didn’t realize the SDK was originally called ‘OS X Touch’ — that name is much more appropriate than the current ‘iPhone SDK’.
In reading your blog, we really like your post on knowing when to quit. Using that as a springboard, we discussed this topic in our latest podcast episode (http://blog.weareuproar.com/podcast12). Thanks for the comments.
