Agile Manifesto Print E-mail
At Bellevue Technology Partners, we adhere to the Agile Manifesto, which reads:

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.

Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.

Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.

Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.

Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.

The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.

Working software is the primary measure of progress.

Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.

Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.

The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.

At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

With the iPhone and iPod Touch's gaming initiative going full steam ahead, long-standing hardware makers Sony and Nintendo have reason to be nervous about competition from Apple. So says Trip Hawkins, industry vet and founder of mobile gaming firm Digital Chocolate.

"Between the iPod Touch and the iPhone, I think the platform is freaking out Sony and Nintendo," he told Venture Beat.

Hawkins suggests it's the iPhone's rapid penetration that threatens Nintendo's DS and Sony's PSP handhelds. "Apple has sold 30 million units so far and it has created tremendous awareness."

iPhone Apps Near 1 Billion Downloads Print E-mail
A lot of buzz is going around concerning Apple's App Store, for both the quantity of applications and the total number of downloads. Soon to hit the 1 billion mark, the iPhone App Store has nearly anything for anyone. Prior to the App Store, only 30 million applications were downloaded across all applications. This is a huge mark for Apple and marks the beginning of a major movement for Apple to take a major share of the handset marketplace.
