Firefox 4 is coming up great, and a huge Safari 5 fan is telling you this. Mozilla has just uploaded Firefox 4 Beta 4 to their servers (although the official Beta page hasn’t been updated yet) and you can go download it here. Update: official beta page now lets you download Beta 4.
The big news is, Tab Candy (or Tab Sets, or Firefox Uberview) has been renamed to Firefox Panorama (I love it) and it’s now built in Firefox 4, starting from this beta.
Of all the sports associations getting iPads and deploying them for better communication between managers and athletes, I thought Japan’s Sumo Association would have been the last. I mean, sumo wrestlers aren’t exactly “techy” people. Sumo is a pretty traditional sport, bounded to old rules - can you imagine these oversized wrestlers sitting down and enjoying Robert Scoble’s tweets on Flipboard?
MacRumors collected a set of unboxing pictures of the new Mac Pro from Japan’s Recruit. The pictures show the new SSD drive, ATI Radeon 5870 and the new Hexacore Xeon CPUs.
Earlier this morning Apple announced that iTunes U downloads have topped 300 million in over 3 years. More than 800 universities have iTunes U accounts, half of these institutions distribute content through the iTunes Store.
A very good result, and the prove that iTunes is growing large of great content. I just wonder how long Apple will allow iTunes to contain all this content, before moving to other solutions. Cloud distribution, anyone?
Check out the press release after the break.
Great news, iPad and iPhone users: the all-new Simplenote is now available, together with a complete new webapp, full support for iOS 4 and tags. I’ve been beta testing the new version, and it’s awesome. Really, a great update now live in the App Store. For free.
The new version (labelled 3.0.3) introduces brand new features that make Simplenote a fresh new experience. A new icon (lovely), a new UI, tags for posts (a much requested feature), fullscreen mode and easy note sharing. It’s very easy, and a killer feature for users like me, who need to share notes and documents with a team.
Simplenote is available here for free. A premium subscription is available as in-app purchase at $11.99. Check out the first screenshots and changelog below, and stay tuned for our full review coming tomorrow.
We have a release date for Google’s Goggles iPhone application. Sort of. The Register reports that, during the Hot Chips conference at Stanford University on Monday, Google staff engineer David Petrou confirmed that Goggles for iPhone is almost ready, and should be released by the end of 2010.
Business Insider has just found out that Apple is rolling out to new iAd campaigns: one for AT&T’s $15 monthly data plan and one for “The Switch” movie Jason Bateman and Jennifer Anniston, which debuted last week.
I haven’t been able to test them, but from what I read on BI’s report - they look great.
Dunk is a great Dribbble client for iPhone I reviewed a few days ago here. From the review:
“For a first release, Dunk works very well and looks good. It could use some additional features, API love and portrait mode support, but I’m sure 1.1 (and the future 1.2, I guess) will solve all these issues. Cheers to Robocat for releasing the first great mobile Dribbble client.”
I can’t say I didn’t see this coming: a moleskine-like case for the iPhone 4? Could you even have doubts about it?
So here it is, a case that looks just like an old moleskine complete with its traditional elastic bland. It’s the classiest way to hide an iPhone. Or the worst way to access the volume buttons.
Your call.
