Perhaps not in India? But then again, good to know.

“Brizzly is the best way to view Twitter on the web, and now it’s taken the great foundation built by Birdfeed and added new features like lists and saved searches that sync with Twitter, news topics with user-editable explanations (a.k.a. Brizzly Guide), pull-down refresh, tab bar editor and more.”

TextExpander, the much popular utility from SmileOnMyMac that enables you to save a lot of time by assigning abbreviations to ferquently used text and images, has been updated to the 3.0 version with tons of new stuff.

First, the application is no longer a preference pane and comes in the usual .app bundle. I don’t know what’s the thought behind this, perhaps the developers wanted to give it a more “native” feeling. Alongside with the new application format, TextExpander 3 adds support for automatic Dropbox backups and sharing of snippets in the same local network; I still have to test whether this actually works with the iPhone though.

Also, with TE running in the menubar you can now search for snippets right from the icon and do some other things like edit the last expanded snippet. Last, TE 3.0 introduces support for global keyboard shortcut, meaning that you can assign a shortcut for entering new Snippets (basically, a quick entry panel) and invoke it everytime you want to add some text to your collection.

A regular license of TextExpander 3.x comes at $ 34.95, but if your purchased it after November 1, 2009 you can have it right in your Applications folder for free. Previous users can purchase a license saving $15.

Nice update.

“One of the most interesting things about developing our iPad version is that we’re learning new ways to solve problems and make 1Password easier to use, but not just for the iPad. Dan says that they’ve discovered a lot so far that they want to bring back to our Mac and iPhone versions, which means all of our users will benefit from our iPad development, even if they never get an iPad.”

Apple has updated the 3.2 SDK to the beta 4 version. Available here.

Expect updates about it soon in this post.

UPDATE: We’ve got an email from a developer who’s already testing the new beta. Seems like the Camera tab is no longer there in Photos.app. I think we now have a pretty clear confirmation about the lack of camera in the iPad.

UPDATE 2. The Camera tab hasn’t completely disappeared, it’s there when you connect an external memory with photos.

UPDATE 3: The Add Bookmark button works fine now:

“These new routers could mean big news to customers like AT&T who could use them as the backbone of their landline and cellular data services to better serve their customers. This in turn could mean that areas with slow-to-non-existent cellular data (i.e. SF, LA, NY etc.) could see a boost in network reliability. “

Available here on iTunes, some good games in there.

Seems like the days of the cold war between Microsoft and Apple have come to an end. Or at least, that’s what we should assume reading this article from The Seattle Times which reports that Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft, called out the great work Apple has done so far with the App Store during a speeck at the University of Washington’s computer-science building.

Could this be a sign of Apple and Microsoft finalizing the details about Bing coming to the iPhone as default’s search engine? Or is Ballmer just getting older and putting the old contrasts away

I bet on Bing.
