iSlate/iPad/iTablet
I’ve never seen a product being talked about this much before actually beeing introduced as the iSlate/iPad/iTablet. Compared to this, the iPhone rumors were just mere whispers in the wind.
Now, can anyone really expect for the tablet to actually live up to the expectations, unless the “one more thing” is that it actually self-levitates.
We’ll have to see next wednesday.
Update: Well, it didn’t self-levitate. What a bummer.
Sleep Phase wakeup clock now available on the App Store
Sleep Phase wakeup clock, my second iPhone app is now available on the App Store. It’s a alarm clock, which monitors your sleep rythm through the iPhone’s microphone or accelerometer and wakes you up in a light sleep phase, which means you’ll feel energized and refreshed every morning.
Originally I had this idea more than a year ago, but did not start to experiment with some code untill last summer. I was about to wrap everything up this christmas, when I stumbled upon Sleep cycle alarm clock, which was released about a month ago. They’ve sold over 100.000 copies in the first month. Lazy me, could have beat them to the store had I tried a bit harder. Well, life sucks.
Anyways, I do appreciate what I learned from this “project”. It all came together much easier than Web Feeds, the first iPhone app I created one and a half years ago. Go ahead, give it a go, it’s not that expensive 
Update: I pulled the app from the store. I realized that I need to figure out a better, more descriptive name than “Good Night”. Unfortunately the app name cannot be changed once it’s submitted.
Update 2: It’s available once more under the Sleep Phase wakeup clock name.

The app seems to be back named as “Sleep Phase”? Just bought it and has one question: it says I can lock my phone, but once it said I must NOT lock my phone. The latter occurred after I had locked the phone and removed it from charger while the app was running.
So can I lock the phone or not?
You can lock your phone if:
1) You are using microphone monitoring
2) You keep your phone charging
If you lock your phone and have don’t have it on a charger, the app will be put to sleep by the OS.
Hi Tuomas, I was just wondering if you plan to include some kind of graphing capability in a future update, or another method to analyse the data your app collects overnight.
I bought and use the competing Sleep Cycle app, but in truth I wanted to buy yours more. The only reason I didn’t is because I needed the reassurance from the graphs that it was actually working properly.
If you included those, I would happily switch to your app, as I prefer the idea of use the mic so I can leave it in my bedside table.
Hi Andy, yeah, graphs are planned, but I don’t now when I have the time to implement those.
