Am I the only one really liking that guy's name? Ram Arumugam. Man that is cool. Just flows off the tongue. Some people get all the cool names.

My parents suck.

i thought the development forum was for Maemo not to post about alternatives propaganda.
there is nothing relevant for developers in this post at all.

Make the phone application work better. Read bug reports and avoid WONTFIX and FIXED IN (NEXT OS) flags.

There. Relevance. :P Now back to Super Troopers....

Nokia do not respond to emails. Not even sure they know how to open emails.

Nokia Careline replies emails...

But with stupid standard responses
Q: Can you clear all my contacts from Ovi online (due to duplicate from sync)?
A: Please be informed that the only option is to delete your contacts manually.
Q: I have over 500 contacts to delete manually?
A: Due to security reasons, we suggest that you kindly delete your contacts manually.
Q: It takes 8-12 seconds to delete 1 contact. And I have over 500 contacts?
A: Please be advised that the duplicate contacts in your Ovi account can only be removed manually by deleting the duplicate contacts one by one.

I stopped using the Ovi online...

I called my mother yesterday. It was just my usual once-per-week-or-so phonecall. She was happy that I called, as usual. Apparently first snow arrived to south-western Finland last Sunday, and her cat had been bit sick.

and the whole point of this is??

Oh that Stevie, what a guy. Why he is bigger than the Beatles and Christ knows that ain't easy. If Lennon was alive he'd tell ya.

Dude must spend 23 hours a day in a room with its walls covered with monitors in order to see all his incoming e-mails so he can be that hands on.

This post indicates that Arumugam encountered bugs with the iPad OS’s keyboard controls. After speaking with Jobs, Ram updated his iPad application to remove the private code, not allowed by Apple, and it was quickly accepted into the App Store.

How did our boy Steve do that? Was it like the loaves and fishes? After he said a few words and waved his hands through the air the bugs went away and Argumugam's financial app could now magically do what he designed it to do...
...or did Stevie just share an internally known work around with him?

I'm going to put my "Whatever Dude" hat on because this smells an awful lot like the doo doo marketing people dream up.

Yeeesh

Hey Kids! Want to be the first on your block to develop a best selling iPhone or iPad app???

We can't all have our e-mails answered by Steve Jobs himself can we?

Why no, that would be silly wouldn't it?

But...
If you are one of the first 500 callers to the number that appears at the bottom of your screen you can buy the next best thing!!!

Steve Jobs is awesome. If he just could breed with his iDevices his child would be a Megatron painted with exactly the perfect shade of white and equipped with the special ability of shooting people with patents at millimeter accuracy.
