Improve your Drag-and-Drop Workflow
For MacStories’s usual “Something Must Be Wrong With Some People” series, today we’re very proud to present you the microwaved iPad, served hot in a 10 minutes Youtube video that is gonna make you want a last-gen microwave oven.
Not really.
But seriously, check out the video after the break. And remember: something must be wrong with some people. Next, a JooJoo.

A new version of the ABC app for iPad has just been approved by Apple, and it brings streaming over a 3G connection, something early adopters of an iPad Wifi + 3G have been demanding for a few days now.
You can go download the app for free here. The update also features many bug fixes, stability improvements and landscape support for all screens.
Dropbox has just updated its official iPhone client to include support for the iPad. It’s available for free here.The new version takes advantage of the iPad’s portrait and landscape modes to display your folders on the list, and also makes use of popovers in the main view to email and copy links and access your favorites. Also, it’s now possible to export documents to native iPad apps such as Keynote and Pages.
Keep on reading after the break for our impressions with the app.
So you browse a lot with Safari on your iPad and you’d like to get over the 9 pages limitation? No problemo.
If you’ve jailbroken your iPad and have Cydia up and running, just look for Tab+, released today, which is a nice tweak that allows you to have more tabs. Obviously the OS will start flushing pages’ cache when it runs out of memory, but at least you’ll be able to browse and open as many pages as you want.
Go download it in Cydia, and take a look at the screenshot after the break.
If you tweet a lot every day, it’s likely that sometimes in the future you’ll want to have some sort of archive for your tweets - that kind of stuff that you show off to your grandsons to remember the good days. Ok, maybe not with tweets, but you get the hang of it. You tweet links, you use different applications, you want to have your own Library of Congress archive for the messages you once sent and now you’ve forgotten about.
If this idea has ever come to your mind and you would like to be able to see what exactly happened on January 27th, then TweetSheet is the app for you.
They did it again, and this time it’s the iPad’s turn to be cloned and sold God knows where in China. The following clone runs Android 2.1, and features a 1Ghz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, 10-inch 1024×600 display and 512MB of RAM. Not bad, huh?
Well, actually yes. Check out the images after the break, and stay away from this stuff. Buy it only if you really hate someone and you want to give him a fake iPad. With Flash, someday.

After all the requests on Twitter, I decided to record a video showing my iPad running Cydia and Backgrounder.
As you can see, the iPad works just fine, it’s fast as usual and you can spot Backgrounder by the badges on the apps running in the backgrounder. I’ve used Pandora, Newsrack, Cydia and GoodReader to demonstrate it. Like I’ve written earlier this morning, you can’t install ProSwitcher or Kirikae by now as they’re not working yet. If you have suggestions or want to report bugs, feel free to do it in the comments below.
If you’ve just jailbroken your iPad I guess you’ve already installed OpenSSH from Cydia, which is that framework that allows you to root into your device using FTP clients like Cyberduck and Transmit.
If so, there’s a little trick you can perform that lets you scale iPhone apps for the iPad, without waiting for the developers to update their apps. In this way, and if you’re lucky, you can have an iPhone app running in fullscreen without pixel doubling, which supports all the various orientations and that even uses iPad’s UI elements.
This is not surprising at all, but it’s nice to have an official confirmation. With a brief press release, which we’re embedding after the break, Apple has confirmed that they’ve sold 1M iPads in just 28 days, while it took 74 days to have the same result with the iPhone.
Great job.
