Eclipse and iPhone development
Eclipse now supports iPhone development by an Aptana plugin, LeNettoyeur reports. I’ve been dealing with aptana months ago, in this post.
You might want to have a look, it’s got some quite interesting features IMHO.
Looking forward for the iPhone to ship in Italy as well

MacSpoof: Ruby on Rails VS Java
Right from the Digg / Technology feed, an awesome parody of the popular Mac vs PC commercials: Ruby on Rails vs Java. 
Absolutely funny .
Apple unveils iPhone (for real!)
This time is for real. This is not a fake as the tons (altough some were really sleek!) which invaded the blogosphere some weeks ago. This is how the real iPhone looks like!
Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPhone, starting actually a new era and making Apple a player in the mobile market chessboard.
To commemorate the move, Jobs announced that the company was dropping “Computer” from its corporate moniker. “From this day forward we’re going to be known as Apple Inc.“, Jobs said in front of a roaring crowd.
Weighing in at 135 grams with a 3.5-inch touch screen, the iPhone looks like an iPod without its well-known scroll wheel. It has no conventional buttons, instead using a finger for navigation. It will be available - in the US 
– in June through an exclusive, multi-year partnership AT&T’s Cingular Wireless (read here if you eventually want to switch) and cost between $499-4GB and $599-8GB each.
Ok price is high, but not that much if you compare declared features with those of state-of-the-art phones out now in the shops.
It seems this is going to tear down the barrier between mobile phone and personal computing, providing real wireless access, together with a really innovative interface. I’m really curious about that.
Apple shares already gained a 7% since the launch, and wireless device makers lost millions (-6% both for Blackberry and Palm, TechCrunch reports), this meaning analysts were not wrong at all when the buzz went public, back in September, 2006.
I’m afraid I’ll postpone my mobile phone switching 
. This is going to be big!
Aptana Web IDE
It’s been out there for some months already, but I just discovered it through Yahoo! User Interface Blog: Aptana is a robust, JavaScript-focused IDE for building dynamic – AJAX - web applications.
It is available as a standalone app for Windows, Linux and Mac; and of course as an Eclipse plug-in too (which is in my opinion the solution most of people will choose).
A screencast – embedded in the Yahoo! blog post linked above – is showing Aptana’s most significant features, and its YUI support. Very nice.
