For all you iPhone developers out there, make sure to take a look at Erica Sadun's latest Ars Technica article - "iPhone dev: building proper mailto: URLs" - featuring tips for handling HTML-rich email bodies with -openURL: and mailto: URLs in your iPhone apps.
News about my "latest application," as mentioned in the article, which should be released soon to the App Store is coming shortly.
Equivalence was recently updated to version 1.0.6. The 1.0.6 update includes a number of small changes to improve stability and reliablity.
In addition you can get your own copy of Equivalence, the highly reviewed and most sophisticated conversion application available for iPhone, now for just $0.99!
Equivalence's 1.0.3 update was released to the iTunes App Store today. Its two main features have been hotly demanded - Equivalence now has an "ans" button for easily reusing your results in Advanced mode, plus buttons throughout the app now give audible feedback when touched with the option to turn all app sounds off. The 1.0.3 update also includes a large number of smaller improvements, performance enhancements, and bug fixes.
To celebrate the release of Equivalence's third update it will be available from the App Store for only $1.99, discounted from the regular $4.99 price. This offer ends on October 6th, so be sure to get it while you can!

This is a bit belated now, but its definitely worth mentioning.
I was recently quoted in one of Apple's press releases about Equivalence's success thus far. The press release was published following their big "Let's Rock" event on September 9th. Its great to see more people learning about Equivalence and just how useful it can be, and recognition by Apple nonetheless.

Version 1.0.2 of Equivalence was released to current users and the AppStore in general earlier this week. Among the many new units that have been added because of the continued feedback from users, Equivalence also gets a complete facelift! Many thanks to ToffeeNut Design for the great new icon and button art.
In addition the "tap-to-select" behavior makes a comeback on the scrolling pickers used through the app, but with a great new addition - you can now double tap on a row to select that row and close the menu in one quick gesture. A lot of other smaller changes and bug fixes to improve stability and the reliability of the update system are also in v1.0.2.

Version 1.0.1 of Equivalence has just been released on Apple's App Store, and a big update it is. I've had a lot of great feedback from users that has been incorporated into this version, as well as one new feature that I think really puts Equivalence far ahead any other conversion utilities on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Equivalence now includes an auto-update feature which will allow me to post updates to the already extensive library of unit conversions and physical constants at any time, bypassing the long update queues for updates to get through to the App Store. This means I can provide users with unparalleled turn-around time on unit requests and conversion fixes (though we'll hope there aren't many of these!) Nearly instant, in fact, or at least as quickly as I can respond to emails.
The full list of Equivalence's additions in version 1.0.1 is available after the break. I've also posted the full list of conversions that are currently available, and this will be updated as the library is updated.
Recently launched in response to the upcoming release of Apple's AppStore, ApogeeDev is focused on providing quality mobile software to its users. ApogeeDev is an individual shop run by myself, Bryan Henry, an engineering student and a dedicated software developer. The release of the AppStore on July 11th will also see the release of ApogeeDev's first product, Equivalence.
