This is big news for Hulu users! The future of television is here!! The official Hulu blog has confirmed the popular American TV service for the iPhone, iPad, Xbox LIVE and PlayStation 3 platforms. Dubbed as Hulu Plus, this premium service will offer more than what you’d expect from Hulu’s free service. It will feature entire season of shows which are otherwise available in limited quantities only on the free service, as well as other programs that are not available via Hulu on the web.
The best and the most easiest jailbreak tool has just been updated (unofficially?) to bring support for iTunes 9.2. Earlier when Apple released the final version of iTunes 9.2, it broke the compatibility with Spirit and so this new version brings the required fix to make it compatible with iTunes 9.2. However no new feature has been added. It still does not work with iOS 4 and iPhone 4. Only iOS 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 for iPhone 3GS, 3G, 2G, iPod touch, and iOS 3.2 for iPad is supported.
As was expected, Apple has just released iBooks app for iPhones iPod touches running the newly released iOS 4. This release basically makes iBooks a universal binary, which means that you can run the same app on both the iPhone and iPad.
It was indeed very sweet and thoughtful of Stefan Magdalinski, a guy from South Africa to come up with this great idea of wrapping an iPad in a chocolate bar, on the eve of his beloved wife's birthday. The guy in fact shot two birds with one stone. His wife is not only a chocolate lover, but also a great Apple fan too! And so he not only gave her that big 1.5 lbs chocolate bar which she loves to eat, but also Apple iPad all the way from London (iPad is not available in South Africa yet) which she always wanted.
The long awaited Google Earth app for iPad has just gone live in the iTunes App Store. This is basically Google Earth 3.0 which comes as a universal binary to support both iPhone and iPad. The official description of the app is as follows.
So we now have the confirmation. In case you were wondering, iPhone 4 apps will run nearly in full screen on the iPad as opposed to the current iPhone apps which looks horrid at best on the large screen of iPad. This confirmation comes from the developers of “Make Coffee” app for iPhone who found out when they tried the new version of the app (optimized for higher resolution screen of iPhone 4) on the iPad.
This is a friendly reminder for all iPhone 3GS, iPad and iPod touch 3G users to save SHSH blobs now before Apple pushes the new iPad 3.3/3.2.1 and iPhone OS 4 firmware today at WWDC 10. This is important if you want to jailbreak (by downgrading) your device again should Apple patches the exploit used by Spirit jailbreak tool.
WWDC 10 is going to be a huge event for both developers and consumers. Apple has got some cool new things to announce such as the new iPhone 4 / HD. But what are the other things which we should expect from Steve Jobs’ WWDC 10 keynote? Let’s take a look at them.
We have already seen how easy it is for a two-year old kid to use an Apple iPad. We have also seen cats playing with the iPad. But this dog named Pixel has topped them all. He has not only shown how easy it is by playing Air Hockey on the iPad, but has also managed to win the match in the end. Video after the break.
Remember what Steve Jobs said about how “Magical” the iPad was? Well a young Japanese magician Shinya has performed a series of tricks right outside an Apple Store to prove just that.
