Sampai saat ini saya masih belum bisa menemukan solusi untuk masalah Tax info yang harus di submit ke apple. Terakhir liat pusing masalah istilah-istilah yang berhubungan dengan Tax. Alhasil, belum dilihat lagi dan dibiarkan saja. Tadi malam iseng-iseng maen lagi ke forum MCI, ternyata ada yang menunjukan link ke salah satu blog yang membahas tentang iPhone development. Dari blog tersebut saya mendapatkan informasi tentang step-step untuk mengurus masalah Tax information yang harus di submit ke apple agar kita bisa meletakan aplikasi milik kita di apple store, setelah membaca informasi pada blog tersebut, saya putuskan untuk menghubungi si empunya yang ternyata membalas dengan sangat cepat.

Yah, semoga saja masalah tax ini bisa kelar agar bisa submit paid application ke apple store dan mulai berjualan.

Baru saja saya lihat email dalam account mobileme milik saya,

Yang paling menarik adalah feature Find My iPhone and Remote Wipe, excellent!!!

This afternoon, I just found my iPhone show pinky screen which ask to connect to iTunes. Can’t do anything, just emergancy call. So I checked by connecting to iTunes which suddenly said iPhone OS is expired. Heh?!. I used iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 for development, and never know it would be expired. After browsing sometime in internet, I found information that this software was set to be expired on 19 June 2009.

I tried to restore using same iPhone OS which result to failed. Same state, expired. Then realized maybe because official version of 3.0 already released by apple?! I am not following apple news recently, so doesn’t aware about it’s realeased nor it’s expired for beta version. I tried to check for update facility from iTunes, it just said my iPhone using recent version.

So, one of crucial task while supporting operation in a project is “performance monitoring tools”. I can’t talk much about performance monitoring used within HLRi environtment since it’s confidential, but one of mechanism to display monitoring session using remote connection, in this case I am using VNC for remoting desktop.

I need something to access performance monitoring tools from anywhere and by anytime. So in case, some emergency occurred, or some complain come while I am still accompany my wife shopping in a mall, I can access customer networks within short time.

I have iPhone, I have ‘way’ to access customer network using GSM/UMTS connection, and I have VNC client installed on my iPhone. I can access system remotely from my iPhone, or just checking performance monitoring data in a peak time. Thanks to VNC Lite.

I just wondering, can we have this capabilities from other mobile device like Nokia, BlackBerry?I remember PDA like O2 also have remote desktop application but never tried it’s feature using GSM/UMTS. But I am sure controlling desktop using PDA need more effort than by using 2 finger on your iPhone .

Again, my 2 cents for iPhone.

No, iPhone still not integrated yet in Tanzania. Few months ago, I already predicted one day some company will develop application which use GPS chip on iPhone 3G independently from any carrier. Well, ok, it’s not fully independent since still use triangular capabilities (based on BTS) if we’re inside building and have no direct access to satelite, but still GPS MotionX can be used very well in Tanzania area. So if you’re planning to go to Zanzibar, Mount Kilimanjaro, National Park serengeti, you have iPhone in hand and not willing to pay $500 for Garmin then GPS MotionX is your best bet to know ‘where you are’ in Tanzania.

I live at Dar Es Salaam, Maps from iPhone can also detected my position (I use Vodacom as carrier), but MotionX is still better especially since it has capabilities to record track when we’re moving around the city.

Here’s some picture from GPS MotionX which show where I lived in Tanzania:

And of course, while I am moving from one place to another place (the one in picture from Mosque around Office into Office building ).

iPhone Rock!
