The Digitante and the iPhone…
I recently learned about a company called Genwi and a product they came out with called iSites. iSites makes it simple to turn any website into an iPhone (and iPod Touch) application.
iSites uses the RSS feed for your site to allow iPhone users to read new articles as they are published. Recently I started publishing the articles I write in the late evening the next morning at 6:00 am and they generally show up in the feed within an hour, so the nightly post from The Digitante shows up around the same time as the morning paper.
Additionally, if you have a Google Android smartphone such as the Motorola Droid or the HTC Hero, Genwi is currently in final testing for an Android app. They plan on releasing BlackBerry and Windows Mobile versions of their product in the future as well.
If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you head to the Apple App Store and your very own copy of The Digitante app.
If you are interested in creating an app for your own site, Genwi charges $25. This covers all the fees to register your app with Apple. Also, according to my understanding, this should also cover the cost of the Android app as well. No word on the cost for a BlackBerry or Windows mobile version.
Here are a couple of screenshots of the new app as well as a nice download link!
And here is the background image for the feed:
I would highly recommend you check it my application and PLEASE let me know what you think of it! Are you using it yet? Know anyone who could use an app like this? Just send them the link: http://thedig.in/iphoneapp.
