Gaikai is a revolutionary online gaming service, lead by the well known game developer and personality David Perry (@dperry), that will allow you to play games inside your web browser using server side streaming technologies for games. The service is currently accepting signups for a private beta invitations, just go here and enter your details.

Well, David has just posted a picture of what it seems World of Warcraft streamed to the iPad. The interesting fact is that Gaikai for desktop computers should work with Flash Player, but obviously this won’t happen with the iPad so maybe we should expect a specific version for Apple’s device. We can’t wait to find out more.

Remember the Wired iPad app? Yes, the one Adobe and Condè Nast were working on, and which was built using Flash. Well, according to All Things Digital Adobe is actually rewriting the whole application using native Apple’s SDK, because of the well known problems Apple has with Adobe’s framework. Adobe and Condè Nast still haven’t confirmed anything, but sure this seems as the only solution to be accepted into the App Store.

Well, unless you build a webapp for that. If you missed the video of the Wired app, we’ve embedded it again after the break.

Since I saw the first real photos of the iPad and its gorgeous screen, I wondered how many developers would start developing VNC clients for it. I mean, back then it was pretty clear that the iPad’s screen was perfect to access your computer remotely, and it’s more than clear now that we’ve tested a bunch of applications to do so.

I’ve downloaded and tested many VNC clients for the iPhone and the iPad, and I think that many of them show good ideas and possibilities, but most of them fail in the most important aspect: providing a stress free and easy way to just show your computer’s screen on a mobile device, and interact with it. They overwhelm the user with tons of useless features but, fortunately, iTeleport is nothing like that.

I knew that there were some problems with the iPad hardware, but I didn’t think something this serious could ever happen - and happen to me, most of all.

There’s been a lot of buzz around this new jailbreak tool called “Spirit”, which should be able to jailbreak every device on the market: iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS, iPad WiFi and 3G, iPod Touch 1G, 2G and 3G. It should be an all in one solution for all those who want to install Cydia and enjoy the apps and utilities banned from Apple.

I got started to the GTD method years ago with Things from Cultured Code. It was a simple, good looking application that didn’t aim at empowering me to do tons of, ehm, things with my tasks, but it focused on simplicity and ease to use instead. Back then, it was the only app I needed to stay productive and keep up with my todo list.

The iPad is still young, but there are a couple of good business and financial applications already out that could make your lives easier if you’re that kind of guy that aims at doing a lot of stuff with his new device. Personally, I’m trying to do a lot of stuff wih my iPad (writing posts, taking notes, email) so I wouldn’t mind to take care of expenses and incomes as well.

Fortunately, I’ve found this neat application called Expense Tablet which is just the best you can have right now.

Like I wrote in my Evernote for iPad review some weeks ago, there aren’t good iPad apps for bloggers yet. The WordPress official client- put simply - sucks, and there are some other crappy apps that I can’t really see used in a professional context. So, I decided to stick with Evernote, and I’m still using it. This post is being written on it. I use Evernote because, together with text, I have to sync screenshots over the cloud, and many other note taking applications don’t let you attach any other kind of media to their library.

Simplenote is not any other note taking application though. Simplenote is the note taking application, the one you should use if you want something simple, reliable and fast enough to let you jot down everything and anything you want and have it backed up over the air. An iPad compatible version of Simplenote came out last night: is it still worth your attention?

So you have an iPad and you miss the possibility to view a page source like you do on Safari for Mac. Or maybe you just miss an optimized layout for the iPad.
