No AirPlay For Video Until November→

No AirPlay For Video Until November

Engadget reviewed the AppleTV box today and got some more details on Apple’s new service (better HD quality than Amazon – nice!).  We had thought the previous reviewers forgot to try out Airplay on a 4.2 Beta iOS device.  But it turns out that even the 4.2 betas don’t yet allow AirPlay video to happen.

That’s bad news for developers who are running betas, but it makes sense for Apple to ship a feature when everyone can access it. I guess the Apple TV will get 4.2 in November as well, together with all the other iOS devices.

MarkdownNote Is The Best App To Write In Markdown On The iPad

Markdown writers and iPad users, rejoice: a new app just came out in the App Store and it’s quite possibly the best choice you have to write using John Gruber’s popular text format on the iPad. I used to write in plain Markdown on the iPad in Simplenote and then do a desktop-side conversion to HTML using Clipmenu’s built-in Markdown tool, but with MarkdownNote by Coding Robots I can now simply write, and send myself an email with the text already correctly converted.

iOS 4.2 Beta 2 for iPad: Faster, Optimized

Apple released the second beta of iOS 4.2 for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad last night, and we immediately installed it on our devices. We reported about the beta being a lot more stable and faster on the iPad, together with a brand new (and beautiful) animation for multitasking. We tested the beta on the iPhone 4 as well, and I’ve noticed that the device feels slightly more responsive than before, especially when handling phone calls. Read more

Sonos Releases iPad Controller App and Spotify Compatibility Update

Sonos users, Christmas came early for you this year.

Chrome OS Installed On The iPad

Chrome OS is Google’s upcoming operating system based on the solid foundation of the Chrome web browser and is open source version, Chromium OS. Much has been said about Chrome OS being the OS “of the future”, as it’s entirely based on Chrome’s UI and easy to understand principles. Much has also been said about tablets getting Chrome OS by this fall.

It turns out that the first tablet to get Chrome OS is Apple’s iPad. Read more

iPad’s Newest Accessory - iArm

Is having only 2 arms not good enough for you iPad users? What if I said that you can add a third arm for only $8? That’s right, I said $8! “Wow, Chris, that is such an amazing deal, I would pay upwards of $100 for that” said Federico Viticci. Okay, enough of the pitchman talk. It’s a good thing it’s only a prank pack product (or we’d all buy one); you can order this but it’s only a gift box, no actual iArm ships. Prank Pack’s slogan is “Genuine Fake Gift Boxes.” Sample images after the break. Read more

Found Footage: iPad Street Musician

Of all the things one could ever do with an iPad, this girl thought being an Apple-powered street musician could turn out to be a good idea. So she went out there, turn her iPad on and started playing the hell out of a sitar in Seline HD.

No need to tell you that this is just great and you have to check out the video below. Read more
