Update: Chewy Xbox, Live Data, and Gmail

Duncan told me that Microsoft is now accepting applications again to get into their XCDP (Xbox Community Developer Program). So I sent them an email a couple weeks ago, but I haven’t received any word. I hope that I get accepted into the program. I think that Chewy Xbox is a really smart app, and I think it’s superior to its competitors in several ways. I think that all competing apps are experiencing the same problems I have, but some of them aren’t handling it nearly as well. Maybe I’ll send Microsoft a follow-up email.

In the meantime, Chewy Xbox will still occasionally work for you depending on how hard Duncan’s site is being hit.

In totally unrelated news, have you tried out Google’s webmail interface for the iPhone lately? There have been a lot of improvements that just came out, and the app is more functional than ever. I never liked using iPhone Mail app to read my Google mail because it wouldn’t thread them. With this latest update to Google webmail, I’m not missing it at all.
