Saurik recently gave twitterific a shot on his ipad and lets just say his opinion on the app wasn’t very pretty. Below is what he had to say about twitter and all of the 3rd party twitter apps that are popping up on a daily basis:

I am a die hard fan of iPhone Twitterific. In fact, I’d say that it is the most important third party application I have on my device, and in fact possibly the only one I use. Twitterific has super-fast scrolling and seemed to really get the Twitter workflow. The iPad version of this app doesn’t live up to that legacy. Read more…

Apple has ended their no cash policy after a woman on fixed income was prevented from buying an iPad. The woman had saved up for the device for weeks but when she went to the Apple Store she was turned away.

“It took quite a long time for me to just save up this small amount of money to go down and purchase one,” she said. “I had my cash in the backpack and I went up proudly to the counter and told them, ‘I would like to purchase an iPad.’” Read more…

I’ve been a fan of the Netflix app for iPad (free) since it first arrived on the scene, but it always made me sad that I couldn’t use my little Apple Dock Connector to VGA Adapter to display videos through a projector or TV.

Now I have a happy face. As of this afternoon, Netflix has updated the app to version 1.0.2, which provides support for video output via the aforementioned VGA adapter as well as the component and composite video cables. That means that you now have the ability to stream a movie from Netflix to your iPad, then zap that movie out to your projector, VGA monitor, or any TV with component or composite inputs. The resolution might not be what you’re used to with an HDTV, but this does have a high coolness factor…

Excuse me, but I’m going to stop writing now and go watch all the Netflix movies available for instant play that have a 4-star or higher rating.

If Steve Jobs has one unfulfilled dream left , that would be to give this world the ultimate puritan gift: “freedom from porn” . He fought long and hard against the web standard for video and a common video format and he practically destroyed it. But it seems that the web gods must be some crazy hairy palmed folks, because they are not smiling down on his royal Steve-ness.

Today, YouPorn ( 18+ ) announced that they are busy encoding their entire video library into HTML5 format, and therefore it will be available on any iDevice in this world.  It will be just a matter of time until the rest of the adult industry will embrace HTML5 too, and then what Steve?

Freedom from porn? More like the beginning of an annual jerk-fest…

A few days ago, Wi-Fi Sync for our iDevices was made available and life has been pretty sweet ever since.  As you might know, the wireless syncing capabilities comes as a combo: iDevice app and Mac client ( Windows coming soon ) . The problem is that, the Mac client will cause iTunes to go about 80% ( during a restore ) and then just hang.

There is an easy fix for this. Remove the Mac client, restore your iDevice and then re-install the client. Or you can do everything via Xcode, and you won’t have to remove the client…
