    It's that time again, folks: with another two weeks behind us, Apple has released yet another Beta rendition of iPhone OS 4. Like those that came before it, this fourth Beta release is signed and sealed for developers only -- in other words, if you're not a dev, you'll have to sit tight for a little while longer.

    Swype for Android’s finger-dragging input method goodness has been available to some extent through other means for a while now — some legit, some not quite as legit. Legitimate means or otherwise, Swype has still only been made available to pretty small group of people. Well, things are about to open up — if only just [...]

    Fandango comes to Android, Babylon makes its way to BlackBerry

    Posted on January 7, 2010 | No Comments
    We're rolling two separate announcements into one post, if you don't mind. Fandango this morning announced the official release of its free app for the Android platform, enabling owners of Google's Nexus One and other devices that run Android to check out movies showtimes and more on the go. The news comes a couple of weeks after the company put out a beta release of the Android app. Translation and dictionary software maker Babylon, on the other hand, has today released its application for BlackBerry.

  • Adobe Releases Flash Player 10.1 And AIR 2.0 – Both Include Multi-touch Support

    Adobe Releases Flash Player 10.1 And AIR 2.0 – Both Include Multi-touch Support

    Posted on November 17, 2009 | No Comments
    A mere week after Adobe Systems reported that it would be shedding nearly 700 employees or 9% of its total worldwide workforce, the company is releasing two highly anticipated new products that have been in the works for a while: Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.0. Both of the products are being released with a 'beta' label at the same time for all 3 major operating systems (Windows, Mac and Linux) and x86-based netbooks, and are available now via Adobe Labs. People who were still hoping for a beta release of the new Flash Player for mobile will be somewhat disappointed by the fact that they'll have to exercise even more patience.

  • Flash 10.1 coming to webOS in first half 2010, says kinder, gentler Adobe page

    Flash 10.1 coming to webOS in first half 2010, says kinder, gentler Adobe page

    Posted on November 11, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: ,

    Adobe may be a bit curt with its page to Apple and its iPhone faithful, but try getting Flash from a webOS device, and the company's got a message of hope: Flash 10.1 is coming, just wait until the first half of 2010. We don't know how long this message has been up there, but as far as both we and PreCentral can tell, it's fresh. It's certainly a date we haven't seen before -- last we heard a public beta was coming the end of this year, which may or may not still be the plan if the above message is referring to a final, non-beta release. Now you current Pre / future Pixi owners have something else to look forward to besides release 1.3.1.

    Flash 10.1 coming to webOS in first half 2010, says kinder, gentler Adobe page originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:49:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

    Qik Bumps Up The Recording Resolution For The Droid

    Posted on November 10, 2009 | No Comments
    As the number of Android-powered handsets on the market continues to expand, so do the technical capabilities of the applications that run on the platform. The Droid, for example, is the first handset to introduce video recording at a resolution 720x480 (more than double that of the 320x240 recording found on most other handsets), and app makers are already swooping in to take advantage of it. The first off the bat is the mobile video broadcasting service Qik, who will later tonight be announcing beta support for the increased resolution.

    Tabbed browsing to be included in BlackBerry OS 5.0 – maybe

    Posted on July 16, 2009 | No Comments
    BlackBerry users rejoice! Tabbed browsing is probably coming with the next major OS release. We say probably 'cause it's currently included in the beta release, but that doesn't mean for sure that it will make the cut. Anyway, we would love to see tabbed browsing or something that will efficiently allow us to run multiple browser windows.

    And yet another game of cat and mouse begins. Over the past 24 hours, Apple has released updates for both iTunes and the iPhone beta SDK.

    Tonight at its event in San Francisco, Boxee showed off the first shots of what it's working on for the beta release of its software. CEO Avner Ronen says Boxee users should expect this in September, though it could be pushed to October. Forgive the slightly blurry shots, consider this a test of the iPhone 3GS camera at live events. (There are some slightly better ones at the bottom.)
