Xblaze

I’ve just sent out emails to all the people who signed up for the Xblaze iPhone Beta. You should have received them by the time you read this.

I’m hoping for a lot of feedback, during this beta test period, so don’t be shy to report the bugs you find and suggest the feature requests you have!

Happy beta testing!

I know its been quite on the Xblaze front recently, and for that I apologise, but here’s a surprise to make up.

I’ve been hard at work since the release of Xblaze on a new project that a small number of you already know about. Here’s a sneak peek:

So if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch with OS 3.0 or later, and want to help beta test Xblaze for iPhone, all you need to do is with your full name and the UDID of your device.

To get the UDID of your device, you can download and install a free iPhone app called UDID sender.  Alternatively, you can copy it from iTunes:

1. Connect your iPhone/iPod Touch to your computer and wait for iTunes to open.
2. After any automatic syncing has finished, click on your device in the source list on the left side of the iTunes window.
3. There you should see some information about your iPhone/iPod under the summary tab. Click once on the Serial Number label and it will switch to show the UDID.
4. When the UDID is showing, press CMD + C on your keyboard, or select Edit > Copy from the menu bar. This will copy the whole 40 character UDID string to your clipboard, which you can then paste into an e-mail to me.

Personally, I find it easier to use the UDID Sender app.

Once you’ve pasted the UDID into an e-mail, please ensure that it is exactly 40 characters long. I can’t do anything with a UDID that is missing a few characters.

When the beta starts, if you’ve sent me your UDID, you will receive an e-mail from me containing a Zip file and some instructions on how to install the App.
