Some of you might remember that we talked about Cyder before, a software that allows us to manage Cydia straight from our PCs. Today Cyder was updated to version 2.01 RC2 and improved.

It had to happen. Somebody had to be the first to announce software for a still-nonexistent piece of hardware.

A lot of us in the business of reporting Apple news and rumors were waiting for the shoe to drop on tablet-related software announcements. Sure enough, developer Ben Gottlieb has taken the bold step of announcing an “iPad” (please let that not be the name…) app in development.

Gottlieb’s Stand Alone, Inc. announced today that they’re working on a larger version of their popular Crosswords iPhone app. As Gottlieb mentioned, “The main constraint in developing a Crossword app for mobile devices has been the distinct lack of screen real estate.

Faced with a large number of users stealing their applications, iPhone developers have found ways to earn money even from those who pirate App Store software.

Developers of popular iPhone and iPod touch applications Tap Tap Revenge and Shazam were a part of the MIDEM Music Conference in Cannes recently. According to Moconews.net, when Tap Tap Revenge garnered 2.5 million downloads in its first two months, a million were pirated copies.

Apple has added a new automated layer to its approval process for App Store software, but according to one developer, it’s not perfect.

Apple recently began using computers to automatically scan for the use of private application programming interfaces. The new automated scan does not change any of the rules Apple has had in place for the App Store: Private APIs have always been banned from use in iPhone software. But according to Gizmodo, the rule was not entirely enforced, because it can be difficult to determine when an API falls within the rules and when it does not.
