Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"TiVo announced Monday an upcoming iPad app for its TiVo Premiere boxes. The app looks to essentially put the new TiVo Premiere user interface on the iPad. Users should be able to navigate options and type in searching options for TV programming, Netflix, and Web content. TiVo promises to bring the full TiVo experience, in addition to some interesting social media hooks."

This is supposed to be in the App Store later this week.

"The fee to become an Apple Mac developer dropped significantly Thursday to $99. According to Apple the new low cost of membership is in response to the success of the iPhone Developer Program (also $99 per year) and the potential that apps from that platform might crossover to the Mac."

The previous prices were $499.00 USD for the Apple Developer Connection (ADC) Select and $3,499.00 USD for the ADC Premier program. You can still get the free version of the Mac Developer if you want to tinker and see if you want to upgrade to one of the other programs, but $99.00 USD is a heckuva drop in price and quite the bargain.
