The Slicehost app for Android has been released. It’s available on the Android Market right now, since there’s no waiting/review period like there is with the iPhone App Store.

If anyone has any problems with it, let me know via email or in the comments. I hope you enjoy it!

As Matt announced yesterday, Slicehost Pro for iPhone is now free. He also mentioned that I’m working on an Android version of the app.

It’s still in progress, but here’s a sneak peak of what it’s going to look like:

It should be available within a few hours of this post. (The amount of time between the “Approved” email and actually being on the App Store somewhat varies.)

Anyway, all I ever talk about on this blog is the Slicehost iPhone apps. While I find them interesting and love them very much, is there anything else you want to hear about?

Slicehost Pro 1.4 is on the way! I submitted it to Apple tonight, so hopefully we’ll see it on the App Store very soon. Here’s what’s new:

- much nicer Slices view
- select slice IPs when editing DNS records
- API Host preference key for people who don’t use api.slicehost.com

I’ve been hard at work on Slicehost Pro 1.4 … there’s some nice improvements on the way, but one of my personal favorites is the new Slices view. It’s prettier, and more useful! Here’s a screen shot via Cloud Files:

And while we’re at it, here’s a fun Slicehost logo my brother made to look like pizza (too much free time, perhaps?) … could be fun for advertising a meetup with food, though.

It’s been approved! Now I’m working on a small feature addition for 1.31 and then I’ll submit an update to the free version.

I usually only blog about my Slicehost apps, but I figured I’d say something about Spinnaz: a new app I released yesterday in the Entertainment genre. It’s all about putting a little bling on your iPhone

It’s not so much useful like the Slicehost tools, but I’m releasing it to see how many people will download a free app that’s targeted at a large audience. It’s free, so give it a shot!

I have submitted Slicehost Pro 1.3 to the App Store. The new features are:

1. A 45 second connection timeout (instead of 5 seconds). This will help people who are in places far away from Slicehost (like Australia, where I’m hearing of 9 second load times for the slices list)
2. Duplicate DNS records. You can see screenshots of it in my blog post from yesterday.

There are still a few more things I want to add (even better DNS editing, ping, add/delete Slices), but I figured this was enough to go ahead and submit an update.

Also, I’m going with a new approach to keep my submission process headaches to a minimum. I’m only submitting Slicehost Pro now, and once it gets through the approval process, I will then submit the free version.

Today I’m working on Slicehost Pro version 1.3. I have a handful of features I want to add to this release, and the first of the those is to replicate the DNS zone duplication feature of the SliceManager. With this, you can potentially avoid typing out all of your DNS records for a new domain.

Just for fun, these screen shots are being hosted with Mosso Cloud Files.

Slicehost Pro has been approved by Apple! You should see the updates soon. Now, on to new features
