Panic Blog » Announcing Coda 2. And introducing Diet Coda.

Best news I’ve gotten all day. If you haven’t checked out Coda for your web-editing and coding needs, you’re really missing out.

This is a visualization of the plethora of Android devices available. This level of device fragmentation is why developing for Android continues to scare me and why testing for reliability on all of these different pieces of hardware is an unwieldy and unmanageable problem. However, my bigger fears come from the bevy of OS versions in the market.

I’m incredibly impressed by the new Rdio design, and think it is far more usable, intuitive, and elegant than Spotify. While the redesign was introduced at SXSW, it just went live for all users.

I don’t currently use any streaming music service, since my collection is a bit too obscure to get full coverage (Rdio only gets ~60%). However, if I was to take the plunge, I’d definitely go with Rdio.

iTunes 10.6 Allows for Higher Bitrate Transcoding

It seems that Apple snuck a nice feature for audiophiles into the latest version of iTunes. Previous versions allowed listeners with lossless libraries (like myself) to transcode their libraries to 128kbps AAC files so they would consume less space and battery life when syncing with any iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

Now, with iTunes 10.6, users now have a variety of bitrates to choose from when transcoding for their mobile listening. iTunes lets you select between 128, 192, and 256. I imagine this has to do with the growing storage capacities of their mobile devices, but hopefully also signals that maybe Apple will release more features for audiophiles, like lossless downloads from the iTunes store.

The Key to iMessage Harmony Across Devices

With the recent release of the beta of the “Messages” app that will be shipping with OS X Mountain Lion, we’re one step closer to unified messaging bliss. However, there is a simple trick to getting everything working across devices. The key is to make your “Caller ID” the same everywhere you use iMessage. With the Mac app, change your setting in the specified place from the “Preferences” menu. For iOS, you can find it in: Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID. I’d recommend setting it to your primary email address (it doesn’t need to be your Apple ID).

Once this is done, no matter which compatible device you’re messaging from, it will show up to people as the same Caller ID. So as long as you register the Caller ID email address on each device, your iMessages will seemless go to every device in your aresenal.
