So we’ve been working on BillMinder 1.6 and push notifications. We’re almost finished. There’s still a little more server stuff to do on our end but it’s basically working. Drew threw in a nifty calendar view (you guys asked and here it is!) on top of that. Be on the lookout for it soon. We’re also planning something nifty in the future for BillMinder so stay tuned in the long run.
We submitted PlaceTagger 1.1 to our friends at Apple. It takes advantage of a few new iPhone 3.0 features (Google maps, in app email + attachments for better reliability, etc.). We also submitted a new version of ClockIn to Apple. It fixes a few bugs and adds in app email ala iPhone 3.0 as well. We also updated the integrated webserver to the more robust version found in PlaceTagger. 
So we’re going to take advantage of iPhone 3.0’s new features and add the following:
- Improved mapping using Google Maps
- GPX Support so Windows users can tag with existing apps
- Built in email with attachment support instead of sending through our servers to your inbox
Hooray! It’ll be available tomorrow for 20% off the normal price!
So Apple just rejected PlaceTagger for the 3rd time. This go around, the reviewer kindly sent this useless message:
Your application, PlaceTagger, cannot be posted to the App Store at this time because it does not adhere to the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines as outlined in iPhone SDK Agreement section 3.3.5.
When the device is not connected to a network, PlaceTagger does not display a network alert. This behavior might lead to user confusion. It would be appropriate to display either a notification or an alert stating that internet connectivity is required.
That’s fine and dandy but PlaceTagger does not require a network connection to function. It just requires location services. If a network connection is available, it is used to display the optional map. We’ve submitted the app for the 4th time (edit: with an additional label on the screen). digg this and save a unicorn.
Update: It took a little while but Apple did finally approve PlaceTagger and we appreciate it.
And here are some fresh screenshots of the new UI:
We are pleased to announce that our newest iPhone app, PlaceTagger, is nearing release. PlaceTagger will geotag your photos with the place where each photo was taken. Best of all, it will tag photos taken with any digital camera.
Have you been noticing that new Places feature in iPhoto 09, but never been able to really use it? Now you can. Are you a professional photographer tired of dealing with multiple devices and tons of GPX files? Here’s your solution. Are you tired of typing in each address for every photo before sharing on your favorite online site? Now it’s simple.
What sets PlaceTagger apart from the competition is the ease of use. You don’t have to remember what time you took each picture or deal with exporting/importing data files. Just open up the (free) companion OSX App or Aperture Plug-In and let it do the work for you. Of course, if you are in to exporting/importing data files, we support that as well,

Here are some screen shots to wet your appetite:
Oh, and for our Windows friends out there. A version of the companion app for Windows is currently under development.
