Camera Button Appears in iPad’s Photos.app
Apple took down the latest iPhone/iPod touch/iPad SDK 3.2 beta 3 shortly after it was released. Apparently, Apple slipped up a bit and had code for a camera in the iPad that probably shouldn’t have been active. Picture via: 9to5Mac.com I don’t know if this means that there will be a camera of some time [...]
The Contest is Over
According to AppleInsider: Apple’s iTunes Music Store sold its 10 billionth song Wednesday afternoon, with the milestone being reached nearly seven years after the digital music download destination was introduced. Some lucky person, possibly my new best friend, has won a $10,000 iTunes gift card. The winner has not yet been announced. Congrats to As-Yet-Unknown-Purchaser [...]
ngmoco:) acquires Freeverse
ngmoco:) just got $25,000,000 (million) in new funding and with a little over $15,000,000 (million) acquired Freeverse.

We obviously care about developers, but in [...]

Apple Creates ‘iTunes Preview’
This is an “extremely” basic look at all the items available on the iTunes Music Store/AppStore called iTunes Preview. I have to hope that Apple will do some major work to this site to improve it’s looks. It’s pretty spartan right now. No graphics or icons except for the three main sections of the store [...]
AppTipp.com: Has Potential If It Catches On
I found an interesting website not long ago called AppTipp.com. Its basically a Digg.com for applications in Apple’s AppStore. Registered users can submit applications with a short description. Other users can then increase the “Tipps” count by clicking on the current Tipps count. Users can also discuss applications with comments. Pretty basic, but it’s not [...]
Journaling – Trial Version Downloads
This is not a review. This is a semi-rant. I’m a journaling kind of person. Or, at least, I’m trying to be one. However, I’ve found that actually picking up a pencil, opening a notebook, and writing doesn’t work for me. Sure, I love the feel of a good pencil against quality paper, but it’s [...]
