Version 1.5 of Virtual Tags available for download

The new iOS 5 ready version of Virtual Tags has been approved by Apple and is now ready for download. The new version, with the help of the iOS 5 SDK, finally provides a full landscape experience in all views of the application including the main one with the camera. Other long expected improvements are the possibility of posting and viewing messages using non-latin alphabets like the cyrillic. Moreover some minor glitches were removed.
The current version was based on a pre-release of iOS 5 and had to be posted in advance of its release as the old ones did not work on iOS 5 and will be probably followed by an updated one when the final version of iOS 5 is out.
As usual you may download it on the iTunes Store by clicking on the following button:

Virtual Tags obituary for Steve Jobs

I met my first Apple product while I was composing my final university dissertation in the university of Pisa in 1987 at my teacher's office. I was happy enough to find Macs even at my first business place and from one of them in 1993 I delivered one of the first italian web sites including reproductions of paintings by my father.
Also on the Mac in 1995 I started a .net web site dedicated to italian art with my gf of the time. I then took a leave from Apple for a few years until I acquired an iBook I have now presented my over 80 mum. I embraced iTunes and stopped purchasing hard supports in favor of liquid music. Nowdays I am an iOS developer with five successful application on the iTunes store.

 I must admin Steve has been for me a sort of beacon for my business life, and not only that, and his passing away is now just a painful sign of how everything passes, a sentence on which Mr. Job, a buddhist practitioner himself, would have most likely agreed. I wonder where a new Baby is born, but I am sure to find him near an Apple tree, possibly of the Macintosh quality!

Also submitted to the NYTimes Reader Memories of Steve JobsNote: as a sign of remembrance, Virtual Tags and the two other charged apps from Mia Foto have had their prices lowered for this painful day.
