I didn’t know many of those devices even existed. Great collection.
A huge update to Adobe Ideas for iPad has been released a few hours ago in the App Store. First off, the app is now Universal for iPhone and iPod Touch, supports the Retina Display and iOS 4 multitasking both on iPhones and iPads. A Universal version of the app was one of the most requested features since the app came out on the tablet, and it’s a great addition to an already popular app.
Then, layers: available as in-app purchase (smart move, Adobe), you can insert up to 10 layers plus a photo layer in each sketch. The user interface for this functionality looks fairly simple and accessible. You can also “redo” actions now. Last, the app is now much faster and optimized for every device.
Adobe Ideas is available for free here. Check out the introductory video below.
We’ve featured creepy iPhone and iPad experiments gone totally wrong in the past. Don’t remind me of that Japanese weirdo who used to eat off his iPad. For this reason I hope what we have here today is a spoof video, I don’t want to believe the stun gun dock accessory for the iPhone called the “Stun Fone” is real.
The guys you can see in the video below built this dock stun gun which you can use by pressing the volume buttons on the iPhone. No jailbreak required. While it’s fairly easy to build such an accessory and hack it to work with the standard iPhone keys – this looks just wrong to me. Read more
Courier is the latest Mac app by the guys over at Realmac Software which we reviewed 2 months ago here. Through a highly custom and beautiful interface, it allows you to upload files to a variety of online services such as Flickr, Facebook, Ember, Vimeo and Youtube. The first version of the app also allowed you to send files to your FTP server and Amazon S3. All is achieved via “envelopes”, packages the app sends to your selected sources.
Courier 1.1, released today, adds the much requested MobileMe support and improves reliability with large uploads – which could take longer than usual on the older version. In spite of the added functionality, the app is still intuitive and easy to use.
Courier is available at $19.95 on Realmac’s website, with a free trial available as well. We look forward to seeing Courier in the Mac App Store.

Even more from Saurik on Hacker News:
In the following video, Jay Freeman (a.k.a. Saurik, Cydia’s creator and main developer) talks about the reasons behind software modifications and jailbreak at TEDx, an independently organized event.
The session is really interesting, as it provides some insight on how, after all, jailbreakers are really similar to those people who buy a car and start customizing it. If you think about it, it makes sense.
Justin Williams of Second Gear has released some amazing iPhone and iPad apps recently: with the popular Elements Dropbox-based text editor and MarkdownMail he gained lots of users and fans in the App Store.

Five months ago we saw a first video of Adobe Audition for OS X. Today, Adobe released the first public beta for the software, which is based on a new architecture capable of editing both single files and multi-track mixes.
The OS X version of Audition offers a new engine with improved performances, and seems to be geared towards the broadcast and audio post-production market.
