Apple engineers and “technology evangelists” are preparing a series of events in North America, Europe, India and Asia to teach you how to develop software for the iPhone.

Calling it the iPhone Tech Talk World Tour, the company has scheduled free seminars starting October 22 in San Francisco and Paris, continuing through early December in 22 additional cities world wide, to instruct would-be iPhone developers on the tools and technologies used to create iPhone applications. The one-day intensive sessions promise to reveal details on how to optimize your code, refine your user interface, and enhance the capabilities of your iPhone application – all things developers were presumably prohibited from sharing among themselves under the iPhone developers NDA.

Developers can register online to attend one of the events; Apple warns that space is limited.

    EVERYONE:

    I’m not sure if you’ve heard about this, but there is a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING ON AGAINST APPLE.

    If you haven’t heard about the settlement, there is a cash payment if you purchased certain model Apple PowerBook or iBook computers, the power adapter failed within the first three years following the initial retail purchase of the computer, and you purchased a replacement adapter. If you have the 65W power cord for the iBook or Powerbook, this lawsuit might concern you.

    The DEADLINE to file your own suit has been EXTENDED to February 11th, 2009, and in some cases until the end of May. If you want to opt out of the class action suit, you have until December 1st, 2008.

    Here’s a link to the settlement website, where you can download a claim form and get more info about the settlement.
