Apple doubles maximum App size download over 3G or EDGE to 20MB
Apple has increased the limit for downloads over 3G or EDGE from the App Store and iTunes Store on the iPhone. Previously the limit was 10MB and anything additional needed to be downloaded via Wi-Fi.
From iLounge:
This limit now appears to have been increased to 20MB in both the App Store and iTunes Store on the device, allowing users to download larger applications and video content.
The reason why might be timed to get users used to downloading bigger apps before before the iPad arrives, or it could be a quiet response to an increasing demand for apps on the run over 10MB.
Whatever the reason it's good to see some relaxing on an arbitrary restriction. Seoul City Metro weighs in at 9.6 MB so I approve of this relaxing in restrictions.
Seoul City Metro V 1.1 is live, V1.1.1 in review and SCM Lite is coming soon!
It's been a long slog, I have to say. It took a solid six weeks of development and many hours of dead ends and frustration but I finally managed to pull together a complete, stable release that made it through the approval process.
There's still lots to do, and since Saturday morning I have already sent for approval Seoul City Metro Lite, and Seoul City Metro V1.1.1 wich contains a few small bug fixes.
Busan City Metro is also in the works, I expect that to be running on the Seoul City Metro V1.1.1 code in the coming days and up for sale soon.
There's lots more to write on the extended development period of SCM 1.1, but for now I'll let everyone get the update and I'll take a deep breath!

Seoul City Metro V1.0 Goes Live on the app store!
Seoul City Metro
I'm excited to report that Seoul City Metro has gone live on the Apple App Store!
You can purchase a copy on the world wide store right here for $1.99 US.
Now that the iPhone Application development cycle has been completed - it's time to start some promotions to drum up some sales! I have @yargalot and myself working on a proper website, and I'm looking into promotions on Facebook, and around Seoul itself.!
It takes a lot more than a MacBook Pro, XCode and an iPhone to make iPhone Apps...
