Dissecting the iPhone 5

Posted on September 13th, 2012- Updated September 13th, 2012

Like many, I awaited the iPhone 5 announcement with interest.  Admittedly, although I'm not an iPhone user I always enjoy seeing manufacturers push the bar on technology.  

 

To my suprise however, the annoucement was underwhelming.  A somewhat bigger screen, better performance, a new power connector and a new look.  All in all, not so different from the release of the iPhone 3GS.  While these are all very worthy updates, and the iPhone 5 undoubtedly looks like a great device, Apple is operating in a very different competitive landscape.

Many Drupal 7 modules are built on top of the invaluable Entity Module which makes much easier to implement custom entity types in Drupal.  Truly great for module developers!  However, like many Drupal modules, the documentation of the module is sparse to say the least.  This is especially true when it comes to theming.  Thankfully, the entity modules also makes theming a breeze.
