I am looking for a project to help further my iPhone development skills. I know that Invision has an app (although at the moment it seems inaccessible on the App Store), but it doesn't work with Neowin.

I would like to propose that we, as a community, develop an iPhone app. I am willing to put time and effort into the project.

Obviously we would need mod approval for this...

Edit: Neowin has its own OS, so why not an iPhone app?

If you'd be willing to help, what area of development would you like to do?

Im not sure what a Neowin app would do, you know?

If it's just like a 'wrapper' that loads the news and the forums in a different design, then I'd say that there is no point in it.

Yes ffs!

Push would be nice also I think a well coded app will be offering things a mobile site will not deliver.

I was going to say that I'd rather have a WP7 app :laugh:

Apps for everyone! :D

No seriously, iOS, Android and WP7 should get one.

Of cause others could have one, too. Why not?

why? You can build one if you want polish your skillz but what's the point of appfying something as simple as a forum? The mobile website is just fine.

I don't see the point, I hate Apps for the sake of Apps, the mobile version of the website works absolutely fine, plus it works on all the major platforms.

The mobile Neowin site is nice :) but I'd like an android app. What I'd like most of all though is Tapatalk integration, that's one thing that I'm seriously missing :(

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.

      Just remember - Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. They didn't have to raise the price this high. They chose to.
