Steve told us it’d be revolutionary, and if sales are the measure of a device’s success, then the iPad seems to be well on track to validating its creator’s bold claims.

Adobe got 7 million iPhone and iPod touch download requests for Flash in December

Last Updated on Wednesday, 10 February 2010 12:04 Written by Vladislav Savov Wednesday, 10 February 2010 12:04

A touch of history might be appropriate here. Back in March 2008, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen proudly proclaimed that his team was about to start coding a Flash player for the iPhone, only for his company to promptly backtrack on those words a day later. Then, about this time last year, Apple and Adobe again announced that they were collectively working on putting the ubiquitous format on Cupertino’s mobile devices, but you won’t be surprised to hear that hasn’t born any fruit yet either

Confirmed: iPhone OS 3.2 has support for video calling, file downloads, and SMS

Last Updated on Friday, 29 January 2010 05:46 Written by Nilay Patel Friday, 29 January 2010 05:46

The iPad may not have a camera in its current incarnation, but Apple’s at least laying the foundation for one : we just confirmed with extremely trusted sources that iPhone OS 3.2 contains rudimentary support for video calling, which could explain that mysterious space at the top of the device in our leaked pics . We’re told that there are hooks to accept and decline a video conference, flip a video feed (which suggests a front-facing camera) and — most importantly — run the video call in either full screen mode or in just a portion of the screen. That means you’ll be able to chat and do other things at the same time, which could mean there’s at least some type of multitasking going on here. We can also confirm that iPhone OS 3.2 supports file downloads and local storage in the browser, which means you’ll be able to pull files off the web and use them in other apps, and there’s at least the beginnings of SMS support buried within the code — a fact we were able to verify with noted iPhone jailbreaker chpwn, who sent in the above screenshot from a hacked-up copy of the iPad simulator. (The simulator always says “iPhone simulator” in the menu bar, but that’s the iPad.) chpwn also tells us he’s found some inklings of actual phone support, there’s a spellchecker, and that both the new landscape orientation for the homescreen and keyboard support appear to be destined for the iPhone itself when 3.2 comes out. We’re not sure what any of this means at this point, or if any of it will ever be implemented, but we’re definitely starting to get the impression that Apple didn’t tell us everything there is to know about the iPad on Wednesday — and we’re even more curious to find out what iPhone OS 4.0 will look like when it arrives. P.S.- chpwn was also able to port iPhone multitasking hacks ProSwitcher and Backgrounder to the iPad simulator, which is certainly going to be useful if an iPad jailbreak exploit is eventually discovered. Check out a shot of it going in the gallery below, along with some other settings panels the coder dug up.

Reggie Fils-Aime: Wii users don’t care for Netflix HD

Last Updated on Friday, 15 January 2010 12:54 Written by Vladislav Savov Friday, 15 January 2010 12:54

We seriously have to question the sanity of some of these high-ranking corporate types. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America boss and fearless orator , has joined Andy Rubin of Google in claiming that his customers do not require a feature so prevalent nowadays that it has become close to a basic standard. While the Xbox 360 and PS3 are capable of streaming full HD movies from Netflix at no extra cost, Reggie has stated his belief that “there really is no loss for the Wii consumer” because “the vast majority” of Netflix streaming content isn’t HD anyway. Reiterating his longstanding, but never adequately explained, hesitance toward HD , Reggie has also claimed that the 26 million Wii console owners out there have voted with their wallets and will be quite happy to continue putt-putting along at standard def. Skip past the break to see him speaking his heresy with a straight face.

Close to 700,000 Palm Pre apps downloaded to date

Last Updated on Saturday, 20 June 2009 03:21 Written by Donald Melanson Saturday, 20 June 2009 03:21

There may not be a ton of Pre apps available just yet, but it looks like there’s enough to accumulate an impressive 666,511 downloads as of June 17th, which likely means that we’re close to or past the 700,000 mark by now. As you can see above in graph form courtesy of Medialets, things have been rising steadily as more and more apps became available, and there’s no noticeable sign of a drop-off even as apps remained around the 30 mark after the end of the first week. Of course, it’s obviously still a little early to draw any firm conclusions, and there’s no telling how things could shake out once the long-awaited PreFart and PreBeer apps make their debut.

Xbox 360′s Games on Demand service gets demoed on video

Last Updated on Sunday, 7 June 2009 10:32 Written by Darren Murph Sunday, 7 June 2009 10:32

Without a doubt, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Games on Demand unveil at E3 gave gamers plenty of reason to celebrate. Just think — no more camping out for midnight launches; you just fire up your console, make sure you’ve paid your internet bill and get to downloading. For those who just can’t wait to see what said experience will actually look like on Redmond’s console, the video just past the break does a commendable job of explaining. It looks as if the system logs your credit card information in order to make game purchases as easy as a few button presses, and games that are already on your HDD can be played while another downloads. It’s good stuff, we promise.
