Kickstarter Project - LetterMpress: A Virtual Letterpress on Your iPad
If you’re a typenerd like myself, you enjoy things such as serifs, kerning, ligatures, logotype, mean line, metrics, multiple master font, orphan line, outline font, just to name a few. I went to school for this stuff, so don’t hate me for dropping typenerd lyrics on you. If you have ever experienced the craft of a letterpress, I don’t have to explain to you how cool it is. I got into the newspaper industry after the letterpress was pulled away and replaced with computers, film machines and direct-to-plate technologies but the relics were still around, plus it was mandatory to experience it in college typography classes. The design process of an age-old letterpress process is this: you arrange type and “cuts,” or artwork, on a press bed, lock and ink the type, then print.

TiVo Testing Live iPad Streaming & Hulu Plus
Engadget tipsters are receiving some interesting surveys directly from TiVo concerning how consumers would feel about the option to “stream live TV, DVR recordings and TV shows from a cable company’s On Demand library to one’s iPad.” This would include in-home and remote streaming; the ability to stream to your iPad could really help TiVo sell more units and service. TiVo already has an iPad app that acts like an advanced remote but doesn’t include this type of proposed streaming service to the device.
Back in September of 2010, TiVo announced that Hulu Plus access would soon be coming to its DVRs. Well, it’s now March and there’s finally some news. Engadget received a tip from someone that owns a TiVo Premiere and was invited to join a Field Trial to “test Hulu Plus on TiVo.” The tipster is also receiving codes to get his free month of service. Now that there is some field testing going on (per the tipster), it’s safe to say that Hulu Plus could be coming to a TiVo DVR near you.
Last year TiVo lost $84.5 million and also ran up a deficit of $779.2 million, so the company is trying everything they can to stay afloat. It may be too late to reach to Hulu users and the tablet market but time and money can only tell.

iPad Becomes More Enterprise Friendly With VMWare View
In what is definitely a big win for the iPad in the Enterprise world, the fairly ubiquitous VMWare has released a new iPad app named VMWare View. The iPad app allows users to access and use virtual desktops from a company’s VMWare servers.
VMWare joins Citrix another fairly ubiquitious company that offers enterprise virtualisation services in offering a similar iPad app. As Robert Scoble notes (and you can watch him talk with some of the VMWare executives after the break) these virtualisation apps will become more usable and functional with the iPad 2’s external display function, cameras and speed increase.

Celeste Brings Tightly Integrated Bluetooth Sharing To iOS
Coming later this week to the Cydia Store is a new tweak from CocoaNuts called Celeste, a handy little tweak that will allow you to send and receive various audio, video and image files to and from your iOS device using Bluetooth. Whilst there have been other apps and tweaks distributed through Cydia that brought Bluetooth sharing to iOS such as iBlueNova, Celeste seems to be a much more tightly and neatly integrated tweak.
Celeste keeps it simple by just indicating, via an inverted Bluetooth icon on the status bar, that the tweak is running and then to share files is just a click or two away. Another feature that others have lacked is that Celeste will also make sure any songs and videos you receive over Bluetooth will automatically be synced over into iTunes, as if you had purchased it. Jump the break for a demo of how the tweak works.
