Which iOS device should I purchase to use for development and testing?

I have the original iPhone, and so far I have been using that for testing the iOS apps that I have been developing.
I am in a dilemma as whether to purchase the iPod touch 4th Generation, or wait till I save enough to get the iPhone 4S.
I don't really need to use the device as a phone. In fact I would mainly use the device to test performance etc. I try to design the app to run on the original iphone, since that is the most constrained for performance, and I imagine it would run well on the other devices since they are faster. As for retina display, I think I can use the simulator.
Do I really need to get a new device at this time?

>I try to design the app to run on the original iphone, since that is the most constrained for performance, and I imagine it would run well on the other devices since they are faster.
Sounds good on paper to you, but in reality it doesn't mean much. You're not testing with current software, so you have no idea about compatibility and if it's not compatible, speed won't matter. Not that your logic extends to real-world....
>As for retina display, I think I can use the simulator.
The simulator is not an emulator - all you're doing is testing a stack built for OS X/i386 and your computer monitor. You have zero confirmation on quality and layout on an actual device.
Without details about your apps and goals makes it pretty tough to say what you should/shouldn't do next except to say yes, you should have a newer device

  • How to use wsit with jeveloper for developing and testing web servises

    hi, all. Just want to ask one realy simple quastion.
    I'm new with web servises, so my question may be doesn't fall well into this section , but this community looks friendly for me and i hope to get some usefull links and advises.
    First of all could anybody say me if i'm righ or wrong with the following suggestions:
    1. What is the principal difference between axis 2 and wsit products? Do i understand right that they both extend or support so called jax-ws2 API and represent different approaches in that (are they competitors?), or this products serve for different sakes at all and could be used together? I want to understand without much digging how these products correlate with each other...
    2. If i'm right what is oracle favor? And if oas standard supply doesn't include wsit, how to install and use this product for creating interoperable web servises in jdeveloper enviroment? ...or jax-ws 2.1 wasn't included in oc4j v10 and will be the part of v11 only?
    Thanks in advance. Alex.

    Both Axis and WSIT are not Oracle products - so I'm not exactly sure why would you post the question here.
    JDeveloper has native support for JAX-RPC based Web services development in 10.1.3 and JAX-WS support in 11 - check out the online demos linked from the home page to see these in action.

  • Best practice for developing and testing AIR iOS multitouch apps

    I'm considering switching our iPhone development practice from XCode/Objective C to AIR to leverage a larger pool of in house talent. The biggest concern I have right now is testing multitouch functionality - the prospect of having to do incremental builds, provisioning and deployment just to test and tweak the multitouch aspects of our projects is daunting, if not downright depressing.
    What tools / services or techniques have been developed to facilitate what is undoubtedly one of the most common issues with developing for multitouch iOS using a desktop-based AIR development environment?

    @tomaugerdotcom
    Something like this might help: https://testflightapp.com/
    Concevably, you could roll your own internal service if that particular one doesn't suit you. (I don't have any knowledge about how they are doing it, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out since Apple's constraining rules would only allow a few possibilities.)
    USB app install and debugging isn't supported on iOS. You have to use wireless.
    Another option specifically for multi-touch dev/testing, is to use an Android device.

    I am using Iphone 3G and running with ios version 4.2.1 .I am looking for to run whatsup apps.Can you guide me which IOS version should i download wherein,it will support whatsup apps

    with an iphone 3G the most up to date ios is 4.2.1 so you have a problem because whatsapp requires a higher version.  If you saved an earlier version of whatsapp you could install that otherwise you cannot use the app.  You will need to get a more up to date phone

  • Which NI devices should I buy and how to start with?

    Greetings!
    I am an undergraduate who is trying to design a control system which can measure chemical solution conductivity as well as PH value; besides, based on those values, we need to control 4 valves to open and close so that acid, base, water,and salt from 4 tanks can flow into the main pipe.
    Question: Which NI device should I buy and start with? The devices have to have at least 4 input/output, do you have any suggestion, Thank you very much!!
    I am also new to LabVIEW, so any extra suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you , we are considering purchasing NI USB-6008
    http://www.ni.com/products/usb-6008/
    Doest it work with the following PH sensor, one specification says that it has output voltage of Output 0-5 vdc, does NI USB-6008 accept it?
    Model A1004 pH Transmitter
    Warning
    Do not short the power connections. Wrong wiring of the signal and power wires will result in
    permanent damage to the unit instantly.
    Specs:
    Range 0-14pH
    Power: 12vdc 500ma nominal
    Output 0-5 vdc
    Material ABS
    Calibration trim pots
    Distance up to 50ft
    Model A1004 is a pH transmitter designed to be used with PLCs and microprocessors that accept
    analog input of 0-5vdc.
    Connect any general purpose pH sensor to the transmitter. Double junction sensor is preferred.
    Calibrate unit with 4 and 7 pH buffer solutions. Use zero trim pot to adjust 4pH and span trim pot to
    adjust 7pH..Fine tune adjustment is done with span trim pot.
    If you do not have a sensor , short the bnc connector ,this will simulate 7pH and observe output voltage
    of 2.5vdc.
    Din connector provides power and signal from one cable.
    Note.: When connecting signal and ground to the PLC input ,use .01uf capacitor across signal
    and ground to filter any noise issues.

  • Which DVD format should I purchase

    I am planning on burning a bunch of videos using iDVD, but I have never done this before. Which DVD fromat should I purchase.
    DVD-R? DVD+R?
    what is the difference?
    Also, what about RW discs? Can DVD players play these ok? I know some cd player had/have problems playing CDRW, does that apply to DVD players as well?

    First of all, depending upon your puter/burner you may not have a choice, some older models only burn -R but most recent Mac superdrives should support both
    Having said that, -R seems to be a more reliable, more compatible way to go; I have had few probs with DVD players reading -R discs (these were on very old DVD players and with some suspicious DVD brands), a few more with + R. Most people on this forum would reccomend -R discs (Verbatim seems to be the preferred brand) and I would concur.
    RW also seems to have more compatability probs.
    No matter which format of media you choose, I would reccomend using iDVD to create a Disc Image then use your Mac's Disc Utility or Roxio Toast to burn the disc at a slow speed like x2 or x1. This seems to eliminate some probs
