Flash 10.1 ported to iPad, burninates the countryside (video)
Take it with a grain of salt, but it’s looking like some prayers have been answered on this Fourth of July — Flash (or is that “Frash”?) is running on this man’s iPad, cleverly ported from Android. The YouTube video claims that by using a compatibility layer, the Android runtime can play Flash content natively in Safari, but only on iPad so far — iPhone 3GS support is planned soon, as is iOS 4, and there’s a call for developers to move the project forward at GitHub . We’ve no way of determining its legitimacy at this moment, but it sure seems like Comex (he of the iPad “Spirit” jailbreak ) has outdone himself this time, and hey, where there’s smoke , there’s fire, right?
PwnageTool 4.0 hacktivation is go for iOS 4
You waited patiently for the Dev-Team to pull together all the developer betas and now it’s time for your reward: PwnageTool 4.0 has been released.
iPhone 3G, iOS 4, and you — what’s missing (spoiler: multitasking)
While iOS 4 is delivering on every promise for the iPhone 3GS users out there, as we were all told up front , the iPhone 3G would be missing some of those touted new features.
iOS 4 now available for your iPhone 3G, 3GS, newer-generation iPod touches
Right on time, Apple has unleashed iOS 4 for owners of the iPhone product codes 1,2, 2,1, and 3,1 — in other words, the 3G , 3GS , and yet-unreleased iPhone 4 .
Canonical hearts tablets, but it’s not making a special Ubuntu for them
Um, whoops! It seems as if those earlier reports of Canonical crafting a special edition of Ubuntu specifically for tablets may have stemmed from taking certain quotes out of context, as a new interview over at Golem has confirmed that the company has no short-term plans to pursue that full-on tablet PC push that was so well hyped. It’s a bit of a bummer, honestly, with far too few legitimate tablet operating systems on the horizon; Windows 7 just feels a grown man’s OS, and there’s no telling if Windows Embedded Compact 7 will ever truly live up to its incredible potential.
Apple now accepting iOS 4 apps, multitasking ahoy
Although we’ve been running iPhone OS 4 — now known as iOS 4 — since it was first announced in April , we actually haven’t been able to try out any of the fancy new multitasking features, since no third party apps have been released with support yet. That’s all about to change: as of today, Apple is accepting iOS 4 apps, which means we should see quite a few apps that take advantage of multitasking on the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 , as well as make use of the 1500 other new APIs in the system when it launches on June 21 . That’s definitely good news, but we’ve got a feeling Apple’s unique take on iPhone multitasking will take a few people by surprise, as only certain tasks are allowed in the background — and apps that need to run persistently, like IRC and IM clients, still won’t really work at all.
