Lextech Global Services CEO, Alex Bratton, was quoted in an article titled, "How To Hire A Great iPhone Developer" on The Business Insider website today.

The 11 page article outlines:

I had a chance to get up close and personal with the new point of sale system at an Apple Store tonight. Replacing the previous mobile POS system is an iPod Touch wrapped up in a black case that contains a laser barcode scanner. The iPod runs Apple's Easy Pay app to manage the transactions. The store employee logs in with their Apple ID and they're presented a simple front end that links to Apple's existing transaction systems.

Recently we made our annual family trek to the Dayton airshow in Ohio for one of my favorite airshows.  Seeing everything on the ground and then watching them take off right in front of you before each demonstration is so very different than planes just appearing above you.

This year I had my new iPhone 3GS with me in addition to my Flip Mino HD video recorder.  Early in the show I was swapping back and forth to make sure to capture clips on both and then I decided to try a bit of a geek grip which let me record from both at the same time.

A recent analysis of mobile market data provides some interesting insights into the current state of mobile apps and where the money is.  Mobile Orchard did a good summary covering data from Flurry, a mobile analytics firm.

The key data is centered around where the apps are and where consumers are using them. You can see from the graph below that the iPhone marketplace is an order of magnitude ahead of other platforms right now.
