Rdio, the popular subscription based music streaming service, has finally released an official iPad app. Up until now, there was no iPad app, only an app for the iPhone/iPod touch.
If you want to download this app, it will show up as an update if you have the iPhone app installed on your iPad. Along with a new iPad interface, the app also has in app-purchasing.
iOS 5 is just around the corner for those of us without developer accounts, and Apple has already begun to approve apps with iOS 5 compatibility in the App Store.
Camera+ was the first app in the App Store to be updated with iOS 5 compatibility, followed by Mashable and several others. While apps are being updated for compatibility with iOS 5, no apps have been approved that are actually built on iOS 5 code.
As Jeff highlighted in the latest edition of "What's On My iDevice?," TwitkaFly has been updated to version 2.0. If you haven't heard of TwitkaFly, it's a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone and iPad that lets you tweet quickly through a super fast and easy Activator shortcut.
TwitkaFly 2.0 brings a slick redesign of the tweet compose window, and it also adds support for Tweetbot. If you like to tweet from a jailbroken iDevice, TwitkaFly is an essential tool...
Ever since a modified version of OS X found its way onto an unannounced smartphone way back in TBI (Time Before iPhone), it's been almost inevitable that the world of iOS and Mac would collide.
That time could come as soon as next year, according to one crystal ball-wielding guess-work merchant analyst...
With jailbreak utilities like iFile and Safari Download Manager, your iDevice can seem more like an actual computer than a phone or MP3 player. The two apps allow you to manually download files, edit them, and move them around from folder to folder.
However, there hasn't been a convenient way to natively upload files in iOS (that I've known of), until now. Safari Upload Enabler just surfaced in Cydia, and it allows you to upload content from inside Mobile Safari...
If rumor mill-chatter isn't your cup of tea, you might want to move on to the next posting. There's no doubt that the anticipation for upcoming Apple products has grown to an epically-annoying level.
However, for folks interested in Apple's next tablet, an interesting report surfaced yesterday that might peak your interest. BGR details an article from Taiwan Economic News, which makes some intriguing claims about the future of Apple's tablet...
It seems Locationgate just won't go away, with Apple being fined 3 million Won, or $2,855, by the country's communications regulator.
The fine relates to the infamous storage of iOS device's location in an unencrypted file on the computer they were synced to. Using this data, it was possible to plot people's movements on a map, causing mass hysteria, panic and general confusion. This file was discovered back in April, with seemingly the whole planet baying for Apple's collective blood.
Apple later released an update to its iOS software that addressed the issue, but the damage was done...
Folks who prefer browsing Twitter.com with the iPad instead of using a native Twitter client will be happy to hear that the social networking giant is updating the site to be more compatible with Apple's tablet.
Up until now, navigating Twitter's website from the iPad was unpleasant. You had the choice to view the site in desktop mode, or an upscaled mobile view — neither one is very tablet-friendly. But that's all going to change during the next 7 days...
We've all been wondering why the plethora of other tablets out there haven't been selling as well as the iPad. Android tablets abound, and seemingly hopeful slates, like the Motorola Xoom, don't even come close to the iPad's sales.
Apparently, the magic is in the process. Apple's tight control over the iPad's hardware and software gives the iPad an unmatched advantage in "design efficiences" that other manufacturers can't copy — no matter how hard they try.
Skype prematurely launched its iPad app in the App Store last night, and the highly anticipated application was pulled about five hours later. Unless you got your hands on it during that brief window, you missed it for the time being.
In case you didn't know, Skype relaunched its iPad app in the App Store this morning, and hopefully it will be there to stay.
While it's true that Safari has a way to search for specific words on page, it's not the most efficient implementation in the world.
Apple decided to combine the web search with the search on page, resulting in a clumsy feeling page search that works; it's just not that fun to use.
EasyFindOnPage fixes this problem by placing a dedicated search button directly on your Safari browser's tool bar.

Those of a certain age will remember the good old days of the Nintendo Gameboy. The 3DS and DS' Grandfather was a boxy, black and white (well, more green, actually) affair, none of this headache-inducing 3D whizz-bangery here.
If you remember the device in question and don't think I've finally lost the plot, then you might just like an upcoming iPad 2 case, courtesy of Lootiful.
As with Lootiful's iPhone 4 case, the iPad equivalent offers protection from bumps and scratches while presenting a retro appeal for those of us old enough to remember the golden age of gaming...
