Smart Autocomplete for Your Whole Mac
“Three billion applications downloaded in less than 18 months—this is like nothing we’ve ever seen before,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “The revolutionary App Store offers iPhone and iPod touch users an experience unlike anything else available on other mobile devices, and we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon.”
…And still so many things to improve and fix. I hope the Tablet will help.
[..]The article as it appears now has been rewritten from when it first appeared earlier. I know this because I read both versions, and a simple Google search turns up a number of sentences and phrases that are no longer in the story, but are being quoted by multiple other sites and blogs. It’s not uncommon for blogs to write something quickly if there is a breaking story, and then flesh it out and perhaps even alter it a bit later, but again, this is the WSJ, and not their blog — this presumably is an article that will run in the paper tomorrow morning. Still, they had one version, and then changed it.
So, Apple is paying journalists to talk about the Tablet.
Sounds like a plan to save the publishing industry.
So you think jailbreaking your iPhone is a bad thing. Shawn Blanc tells you why you should.

I believe the only thing that actually exists is the Clouded Leopard.
“According to 148Apps’ App Store metrics, not only the delay is slowly reducing, but it reached a new low this November. Having an app approved in November took only 4 days on average and that is with 376 apps per day being submitted.”
I guess Apple has read some blogs this year.
Nice script.
Pretty good list, but I wonder if anybody paid something to actually made it into that list. I mean - Flight Control, Best Camera and Taxi Magic?
Yeah, best apps of the year.
“A subsidiary of Foxconn, Innolux, will supply Apple with the majority of 10-inch glass displays and Wintek, which provides most iPhone display panels, will handle the remainder, according to Taiwan’s DigiTimes. The publication said Apple could announce its tablet in January with major shipments by March, 2010. One report has suggested Apple has told Foxconn it needs 300,000 tablets per month. If true, the report would dovetail with recent speculation Apple booked San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Jan. 26 for a product announcement.
Even before the tablet is unveiled the product hit a delay, prompting the wait until the first quarter of 2010. Apple has been searching for a way to strengthen the tablet’s glass panel, according to DigiTimes. Reportedly, another Foxconn subsidiary, G-Tech Optoelectronics, will provide the answer.
In another hint suppliers are ramping up for an Apple tablet, Cheng Uei Precision received orders for flat-panel “connectors.” However, the company suggests the components won’t ship until the third quarter of 2010, appearing to dispute a January announcement.”
Seems like this time is real. They should have told me that Christmas would come with a 30 days delay, anyway.
