Phodder, a consortium of passionate technologists, is seeking to hire two graduate students for part-time positions. We are a small development shop located centrally in College Station, and are focused on making great iPhone experiences and groundbreaking social media applications. If you have experience with Python, Objective-C, C++, JavaScript or other development languages, we want to talk.

We have a great time solving very interesting and practical problems and offer very flexible work schedules. We ask for 14 – 24 hours of work per week, but are very flexible with class schedules. Short code samples showing your coding abilities are greatly appreciated.

Please send a brief statement of your experience and interests, as well as any applicable code samples, to jobs at phodder.com.

• iPhone 4.0., and PLEASE oh please, at least some limited ability to run apps in background. All the chatter seems to point to this being a likely addition, and yay, says me. At Phodder, we’ve had to turn clients from the iPhone to the Android platform for some projects because of the lack of this functionality. And personally, I’d REALLY like to be able to play Pandora in the background and look stuff up in maps or whatever else. I have to think this one is likely considering the hammering Apple has gotten from the HTC droid commercials.
• A Mac Tablet that isn’t called iSlate. This is a no brainer, and it’s definitely the most anticipated device since the iPhone. There’ll be a lot of sour faces in San Francisco if this device doesn’t make an appearance.
• A new iPhone with forward/back facing camera. Lots of cool opportunities with that for videoconferencing and other fun app ideas. My head starts spinning with ideas just thinking about it.
• An announcement of a service agreement with Verizon. For iPhone or Tablet. Or both. I’m not picky, but just something, anything, to make AT&T sweat a little.
• General Larry Platt sending people out of the Yerba Buena Center with “Pants on the Ground” (safe for work, I promise you) in their heads. The man is awesome. Maybe Brett Favre could sing backup?

Crud.

My apologies folks, totally forgot to post some new shiny icons for your enjoyment. Let me fix that now. You know the drill. 2 icons, free to use however you chose. Covered under the LGPL

With that out of the way, here we are.

And there you have it. Enjoy! We’ll probably take a break from TBT this next week for Christmas, but we’ll hit the ground running on 12.29! Stay tuned, and Merry Christmas!

• See shiny icon.
• Download shiny icon.
• Use shiny icon.
• Pay nothing, and chortle at your thriftyness.

Seeing as it’s the 12th month, and the 12th tab bar twosday, (and my wife reminds me, the 12 days of Christmas, which is fast approaching) our first image seems fitting with the theme.

Image number 2 is not as fitting, but still quite stylish. Stick em in your xcode project and see for yourself!

There you have it. 12 posts worth of tab bar icons. We’ll be back next week with December’s final installment.

Anyhow, enough turkey talk; lets get to the icons. You know the drill; 2 free tab icons for your iPhone development project (or whatever else you want to use it for). If you do use them, let us know where; it’s always cool to see them in use, and we’ll give your app a shout out in our blog.

With that said, on to the icons

Enjoy, and we’ll be back next week with more Tab Bar Twosday goodness, direct from your pals at Phodder!

Anyhow, here are your two free-to-use tab icons. Enjoy!

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

OH! Also, its Tab Bar Tuesday time! As always, here are 2 free schnazzy icons for you to use at will in your iphone dev projects.

Here are the latest icons. The first is by request from “Rod” who asks for a “Payment” icon of some kind. Hope a “$” sign works for you Rod!

The second is a reminder icon. I could sure use this icon to remind me to post next week’s tab icons…
