After a rather busy few weeks of meetings (some big announcements coming soon) and meetups (Techcrunch Amsterdam was great and we made loads of new buddies), we’re looking forward to a busy summer with yet more meetups and barcamps. Next up is BarCamp Leeds.

Organised by Imran Ali, and to be attended by a great line up of UK startups, BarCamp Leeds is gonna be great! From the attendee list so far it looks like a good contender to rival BarCamp Manchester! A bit of friendly rivalry’s a good thing!

We will of course be there to show new features in Treasuremytext and Treasuremytext for iPhone, and perhaps Paul will do a WebObjects related session??

We have iPhone developer status!

We now have iPhone Developer Status! 25,000 applied to the programme and 4000 have been accepted to date. This is great as it means we can get our next gen Treasuremytext iPhone app ready sooner. (And also make other great things for iPhone).

News from WWDC

We’re at WWDC (Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference) and this morning was the Keynote. Apple fans will have already heard the news of the forthcoming iPhone 3G (launching, and in many more countries) July 11th. There’s so much news it’s hard to know where to start and the atmosphere is really amazing; everyone’s very excited about the new 3G iPhone, iPhone 2.0 software, the forthcoming launch of the iPhone App store, and the new .mac: “mobileme“. - Oh and yeah, there’s no SMS synch in mobile me ;) !

We’re loving what is about to happen with the iPhone and really looking forward to developing apps for iPhone and to the launch of the App store. Right now, we’re sat in the Mac OS X State of the Union session.

We’re learning a lot, getting loads of inspiration for how to enhance Treasuremytext and interoperability with iPhone, and we promise to deliver more updates here as the week unfolds.

WoCoding at WOWODC

Treasuremytext is built using Apple’s enterprise level development framework WebObjects.  Ahead of WWDC this week, Paul has been busy at the World WebObjects Developer Conference organised by the WebObjects Community.
Paul will no doubt post in more detail later, but here are some pics for the conference!

Whilst in New York….

Treasuremytext in San Francisco

Treasuremytext is in San Francisco from June 6th to June 17th, and will be at WOWODC and WWDC and many other events, meetings, and parties. As well as working our new Treasuremytext for iPhone app, it looks like we have a pretty busy schedule. It was great to hook up with the Wakoopa guys on the plane from Amsterdam yesterday and we’ll be hanging out with the lovely Sofa people and other friends later on.

Treasuremytext “commended” at E-Services Forum

Treasuremytext attended the E-Services forum in Liverpool today and was commended for our presentation about the service. It was a great event and I met some great people. It was really cool to hear from edocr, Wadja, Momote, Screen Reach, Phonefromhere, Liverpool Ventures, Merseyside ICT and more!

The forum, part of i-techpartner was organised by Marie at AIMES and as usual it was an excellent event.

“The eServices Forum offers a unique setting with pan-European networking for top entrepreneurs, R&D leaders, investors and experts from the eServices sector. This is a unique opportunity to connect with the whole value chain of technology innovation, from R&D leaders via entrepreneurs and investors to international corporations with global market access.”
