Superiphone.cz claims to have put a next generation iPhone screen under a microscope to determine its pixel density and display technology.

According to the site, the iPhone 4G will use an IPS panel like the iPad with a 960×640 resolution.

Engadget notes that this would quadruple the total number of pixels when compared to the iPhone 3GS, making rescaling apps fairly easy and allowing Apple to claim the highest pixel density seen on a phone yet. Read more…

SNES (HD) is my iPad port of the popular Super Nintendo emulator Snes9x. Though based on ZodTTD’s iPhone port snes4iphone, I have rewritten most of the iPhone specific code to match my own coding style and the iPad environment. Those interested can check out the source at my github repo.  It still needs a few finishing touches, but games are very playable and I think it’s cool enough to let loose into the wild.  Please let me know what you think!

Mozilla will soon release an iPhone app called Firefox Home which will give iPhone users instant access to their Firefox browsing history, bookmarks, and currently open tabs. It also will provide the Firefox “Awesome Bar” capability that enables people to get to their favorite web sites with minimal typing.

Firefox Home for iPhone is part of a broader Mozilla effort to provide a more personal Web experience with more user control. For devices or platforms where we’re unable to provide the “full” Firefox browser (either technically or due to policy), we aim to provide users with “on the go” instant access to their personal Firefox history, bookmarks and open tabs on their iPhones, giving them another reason to keep loving Firefox on their desktops.

This is what e-magazines should have always been. A sparkling layout, embedded animations, video and audio. Compared to what Wired has done, the other magazines offered, like Time and Popular Science, feel pretty much like tarted up PDF files.

Adobe created the translation for the iPad for Conde Nast, publisher of Wired. Originally, it was going to be Flash based, but when Steve Jobs put the clamps on that, Adobe re-did everything in Apple-approved Objective-C.

Wired for iPad, released today, is a dazzler. There are 3D rendering you control by moving your hand, videos that look crisp, and some interactive features that are very helpful in getting a full understanding of the subject matter. Read more…

Apple reportedly explored the possibility of adding an OLED screen to its forthcoming next-generation iPhone, but ultimately rejected the feature for a variety of reasons, and will stick with an LCD IPS display.

With regards to the display, the interview revealed that Apple spoke with Samsung about active matrix OLED panels as far back as in the development of the iPhone 3GS, released last summer. But supply issues were reportedly only one part of the problem with OLED for Apple. Read more…
