That's me bottom left in the Pink Shirt!
We won! Not the main prize that went to the fantastic Meter Maid app from Martin Koel en Alida Roskam (makes real easy the paying for parking around Amsterdam and other places I believe). Those two won a deserved return trip to San Francisco.
We though we’re thrilled to be win one of the other 4 prizes in a tough competition. Plus it’s fantastic to actually be able to get a G1 from T-Mobile as our prize. This will let us thoroughly test the Android app properly before releasing it on the Android Market.
It was a great event and lots of credit to Peter Robinett of Bubble Foundry for really starting the whole thing of with the excellent Mobile dev camps he’s been arranging here for the past few months in Amsterdam. We’ve been to a couple and there turning into some of the best meetups in town.
In the last few weeks we’ve become more and more excited about Android and starting to believe in it’s potential. We think it’s going to be a seriously big deal for Treasuremytext and a big part of our future. This is the first time we’ve been able to develop an app for a phone which we’ve dreamed about doing for a while now. It completes the Treasuremytext service, makes it seriously much easier to use and integrates seamlessly with your handset for the first time.
For all of those who’ve been asking about automatic backup to Treasuremytext with support for original dates and contact info, start looking at getting yourself an Android phone from T-Mobile as soon as you can.
We gave a small demo of the app which was recorded and will be placed up on T-Mobiles G1 site sometime today we’re told.
Treasuremytext for iPhone (Version 2.0) is now available to download via Cydia courtesy of iSpazio.
Features of the app:
- Archive and Backup your SMS messages to your Treasuremytext account
- Delete Individual SMS from your iPhone
Added benefits for use with Treasuremytext:
- Messages appear in Treasuremytext with the original date sent
- Messages appear in Treasuremytext in the right date order
- Treasuremytext figures out the right ‘from’ contact info for you
- A new contact is created if the from address is not yet in your Treasuremytext contacts
Keep an archive of your iPhone SMS on Treasuremytext.com
To install, use Cydia; you’ll find us under “T”! More info on the app, and installation instructions here. The app works for iPhone 2G and 3G with 2.0 software and superseeds the original Treasuremytext for iPhone app. This app does require a jailbreak. For more info on why we can only make this app work for jailbroken iPhone read this post.
This is a first sneak preview so if you do find any bugs please let us know over at Get Satisfaction.
Enjoy!
It’s (a sellout) iPhone Dev Camp Amsterdam tomorrow at Mediamatic’s new space on the Vijzelstraat and we can’t wait!
I think we first discussed how ‘an iPhone Dev Camp would be a very nice idea’ with Peter Robinnet at the Techcrunch Europe meetup at eBuddy not so long ago. Since then Peter’s been really busy organising it, as interest grew a new venue was needed and Mediamatic came to the rescue. Peter’s coworking space is great but not big enough for 120+ budding iPhone developers! I’m really looking forward to the event; personally I hope to:
- Meet new people incuding Cocoa and iPhone Developers - for some of our upcoming new projects
- Chat with hopeful ‘iPhone entrepreneurs’
- Learn some new iPhone tips and tricks
- See old friends again
- Congratulate Marco on a great app!
- Oh, and launch Treasuremytext for iPhone 2.0
