We saw spoof videos, people getting married in an Apple Store and even iPhone fridge magnets - but I never thought stuff like this one would be possible. Created by Urikane, the iPhone Font / Alphabet is an example of what people can do with “540 apps and too much free time”: this guy managed to recreate the entire alphabet in his homescreen by simply combining the icons of various iPhone applications, basing on their primary color.

This one is weird: the official Bing app has disappeared from all the App Stores except for the US one since Monday. If you search for it in, say, the Italian App Store or the Brazilian one, the application isn’t there anymore.

There’s no official statement about it, but we remember Microsoft said something months ago regarding the fact that they didn’t want the app to be available worldwide, as it’s been for 3 months now. They left the app for 3 months in the App Store, and now it’s just gone.

We’ll keep you posted about this.

iWork.com, the beta service from Apple that integrates with iWork desktop and allows you to retrieve your documents on the web, has just received an update, which adds a number of interesting features. First, Apple has finally enabled support for public links for documents, thus enabling to share your work wherever you want. As far as we can tell, the viewers of public links won’t see document comments and notes.

Also, the iWork.com webpage has been redesigned for mobile access (webapp) with the iPhone and iPad. After a few initial tests with the new look, I guess there’s some Pastrykit going on with the webapp.

Seems like Apple is finally giving iWork the consideration it deserves and, with the iPad coming out in a few weeks, I’m pretty sure we’ll see even more.

It’s time for another MacUpdate Promo bundle and, as usual, it’s pretty good. At the price of $49.99 you can buy 11 Mac apps, and if you add $3.99 you can also download and activate MacUpdate Desktop for 6 months.

Here’s the full list of the apps:

Parallels 5

Hyperspaces

Foreversave

Websnapper

Hydra

SpellCatcher X

Timeline 3D

Back In Time

MacDVDRipper Pro

MacScan.

There are some apps I wouldn’t buy anyway, but Hyperspaces and Parallels alone make this bundle seriously worth to consider. The promo ends in two weeks, and first 10.000 buyers also get DVDRemaster Pro for free.

Developed by Satine.org months ago, if you still haven’t tried Snow Stack you should head over the demo webpage right now. Snow Stack is a photo gallery, similar to Cooliris, that displays photos as a “wall” that you can navigate. Cool thing is, everything happens thanks to Webkit’s CSS 3D capabilities, you can use your keyboard to browse and zoom photos (spacebar zooms just like Quicklook) and overall, it’s beautiful.

Of course, Firefox and Opera are not supported.

Great interview with Werner Jainek from CulturedCode over at MacLife. Things for iPad is scheduled for release next month, right after the iPad official launch.

“Speaking exclusively to PC Pro, the CEO of Kaspersky Lab claimed Apple has repeatedly refused to deliver the software development kit (SDK) necessary to design security software for the phone.

“We have been in contact for two years with Apple to develop our anti-theft software, [but] still we do not have permission,” said Kaspersky.”

Even without actually seeing the app? That’s interesting.

Screenflow, the excellent screencasting application we reviewed a while ago here, has been updated to the 2.1 version which adds a bunch of interesting new features. In the mood of supporting the never-ending Flash format, Screenflow now allows to directly export a video in Flash, automatically generating all the required components. The update also includes many bug fixes, support for 64-bit system audio capture and “forever-saving” of documents.

By visiting the Apple Store we noticed that today Apple has delayed the iPad keyboard dock and 10w USB power adapter to May, thus missing the official April 3rd launch. With this move, the only accessories available at launch will be the iPad Dock and iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, still scheduled for April 3rd release. iPad case is due to ship on “mid April”.

Production issues?
