The Early Edition 1.3: More Social, With More Multitouch

Four months ago, in my review of The Early Edition for iPad:

The concept behind The Early Edition is simple and effective: it’s up to you to build your personal newspaper, which unlike every RSS application out there doesn’t just give you a list of the latest news on the Internet. It really resembles a real newspaper, with titles, subtitles, summaries, pages and the layout you’d expect from a paper edition. The app comes with a set of built-in sources (ranging from Politics and Business to Technology and Apple) but you can specify the websites you want to read by importing feeds from Google Reader, single sources and OPML files.

The app hasn’t changed much since then, but it’s going to be a lot better soon. The Glasshouse Apps developers have been working hard on making The Early Edition a reading app capable of staying up to the game stepped up by Flipboard and Pulse, even though The Early Edition came out first. There’s no doubt Flipboard changed the landscape of reading apps on the iPad, and users’ expectations as well. Read more

VLC for iPhone Now Available

VLC, the popular media player already ported by developer Applidium to the iPad, is now available as a universal app for iPhone. The latest 1.1.0 update, approved last night, adds support for iPhone 4, 3GS and latest gen iPod Touches, introduces in-app file management without the need of having to go through iTunes to delete files and increases the compatibility of the app with different filetypes.

No word yet if the app supports beta versions of iOS 4.2, guess we’ll have to find out on our own.

VLC for iPhone and iPad is free and available here. Check out the screenshots and full changelog below. Read more

New York Band Performs Live On iPhones [Video]

We know there are hundreds of music applications for the iPhone out there; some even managed to win an Apple Design Award earlier this year. Yet, we also know there are some people on the internet who regularly quickly diss iOS devices as “consumption-only” devices.

So take a look at the video below. Brooklyn-based band Atomic Tom performed one of their hits  - “Take Me Out”  - entirely on their iPhones, in the subway. At first the crowd thought they were going to bomb the train (seriously? with those hipster moustache?), but Atomic Tom eventually managed to make quite an impression on the passengers. Great video.

A White iPad 2 Concept

In a few months we’ll be able to put our hands on a new iPad. Whether it’s going to be a 7-inch model, sold in double 10 / 7-inch flavor or simply have a new camera on board - it’s going to be all new. And when it’s about “all new” products from Apple, it’s never too soon to start thinking about them.

The following concept video, spotted by iSpazio, shows us a white version of the “iPad 2” with a front-facing camera and a flat back, much like the iPhone 4. I don’t know if that kind of surface would be suitable for the tablet, but sure the concept is damn sexy. Take a look at the video after the break. Read more
