Bluebird, the Twitter client developed by 13bold (you may have heard this name before, they’re the creators of Bowtie), has been updated to the 1.0 beta 3 version. The new beta sports significant UI improvements, support for username autocompletion and emoji, bug fixes and a more minimalistic style overall.
We’re looking forward to the final release. In the meantime, you can go download the beta here and browse some beautifully designed custom themes on Iconpaper.
The iPad is set to be available in 5 days, but I bet you guys have been watching the latest guided video tours on Apple.com for the entire afternoon. Someone at least 5 times, I guess.
What’s interesting, though, is that the quality of these videos is so high that they provide us an easy way to look at the interface of the device and spot little differences and elements from the screenshots we’ve been provided so far. Actually, I’ve spent some time today analyzing the videos (yeah, I’m one of those nerds) and I’ve noticed some interesting touches Apple has applied to the UI.
Well, they surely seem real. Basing on this video and the images we’ve just found, it looks like the upcoming iPhone “4G” will indeed have a front facing camera, and maintain the usual form factor we’re used to.
Fake, real, optimistic? Personally, I’d like something like this.
Check out the images and video after the jump.
Available here, one of the best styles I’ve ever seen. Installed.
Following our previous post, we’ve received a second (and presumably last) video of the iPad App Store.
The video shows unseen details like charts, categories, the switch to iPhone apps process. It’s quite interesting to see that even camera apps show up in the iPhone section while browsing from the iPad.
Take a look after the break.

Nice job, Apple.
Well, sort of.
VoucherCodes has posted an interesting post, analyzing how much it would cost today to buy each Apple product of the past, accounting for inflation. And as you can guess, the result is definitely worth checking out.
If the Apple Lisa was available today, it would cost $21.744 - the cost of 43 iPads 16GB, Wifi model. So yes - Steve was right about the magical and unbelievable price, after all.
Take a look at the infographics after the break.
