I was looking for the perfect iPad stand, but this one is something I didn’t think of and I might now consider. User 3n at Flickr managed to created an iPad stand, that works in both orientations, using the iPad packaging itself: with a small hand-saw and a few minutes of spare time, you can make a simple stand that even gives you access to the home button.

You use recycled material, you don’t spend money, it works: maybe it’s not elegant, but I guess to many people will be just fine. Check out the photo after the break. Thanks @takeo for the tip.

There’s always been some  skepticism about web applications having the same  quality of native apps, and despite amazing tools like JQTouch and such, people were right to doubt that webapps can get even near to native applications.

As of today, you can still hear many people (including me) saying that if you want to really work, you have to buy. But this is not the main story.

An Engadget reader running iPhone OS 4.0 on a jailbroken device found references of Facebook contacts integration into the OS. The references come in the shape of a .plist file called “FacebookContactsConstraints.plist”, but Engadget also reports that Apple may include a larger social network support by integrating services like Twitter. Indeed, it seems like “SocialKitInternal.framework” is mentioned somewhere in the OS, but they’re waiting for proof.
