I built Rackspace Cloud Pro without an iPad. I used quite a few tools to put it together, but one of the most useful was HTTP Client. It let me easily inspect and debug HTTP requests to the Rackspace Cloud API.
So, on April 3 when I got my iPad, the first thing I [...]
I just opened sourced the Rackspace Cloud Pro iPad app, so feel free to poke around and even fork and contribute if you’d like to help the project. Even if you don’t contribute or read the code, you can download it and build it with XCode if you’d like to run the app in [...]

Rackspace Cloud 1.1 is now available in the App Store! Let me know if you like it, hate it, or have any suggestions.
Version 1.2 will focus more on Cloud Files, with an emphasis on better navigation and control, as well as creating files (such as images from the camera).

The majority of the effort is going into improving support for Cloud Files.
The source code for the Rackspace Cloud iPhone app is now available on GitHub. If you have the iPhone SDK, feel free to download it if you want to track the progress of new features as they’re developed, or if you have a good idea and you’d like to pitch in!
I found a neat utility for uploading images to S3 in Snow Leopard, so I decided to modify it to work with Cloud Files. It’s built in Automator, so click here to get it. After you install it, you should be able to upload things to Cloud Files very easily.
If you [...]
It’s out in the App Store now, so try it out and let me know what you think! I’m already well under way with version 1.1.
