I bought an ipod touch and mac mini to develop iphone apps.

I don't find OS X to be better than Win 7. But the ipod touch is pretty cool and hopefully I will have some success selling Numbrosia for the iphone/ipod touch.



How long have you been using OS X? I found that I liked it more the more I used it, since that's when you start noticing the pretty little touches.


Yes, it does have some nice little touches. But it misses some big things, such as being able to write to a CD in a reasonable way, being able to write to an NTFS drive, or have a proper way to uninstall software and its data.

AppCleaner isn't a good enough uninstaller?


"hopefully I will have some success selling Numbrosia for the iphone/ipod touch."

Come on, you didn't just shamelessly plug your app, did you? :/


It's better than a coy back-and-forth exchange of "I don't want to plug my crap" -> "Just tell us what app you're working on"


It is nothing to be ashamed of.


I have faith Numbrosia will be one of the greatest iPhone apps ever. Make it beautiful. Good luck.
