10 Ways People Are Using The iPad To Create Content
One of the first, lame criticisms of Apple’s iPad was that it would only be useful for consuming content, not creating it.
Wrong!
Sure, the iPad is great for reading web pages and watching videos. But it has also become a very potent, very cool device for being creative.
I told haters to shut up two months ago.
MobileMe Gallery App Updated with iPad, iOS 4 And Retina Display Support
The MobileMe Gallery app (which I previously covered back in February here) allows you to check on your MobileMe photo galleries using a beautiful user interface with a couple of neat features up its sleeve. Apple just updated the app to include a native iPad version (the app is now universal, and of course free), full iOS 4 fast app switching support, Retina Display graphics.
You can also view your friends’ galleries without the need of having a MobileMe account, which is pretty cool. The app is free and available here, check out the screenshots below. Read more
VLC Is Coming To The iPhone
Two weeks developer Applidium released VLC for iPad, a native iOS version of the popular open-source media player VLC. The iPad app is free, and it gained a lot of visibility and press coverage following its release in the App Store. It stayed at the top of Free Apps charts for many days, despite some compatibility problems with certain file types and crashes on iPads running more advanced versions of iOS - namely iOS 4.2 beta.

Battle Royale of the iPad Dropbox Editors
In the previous months, lots of apps have creeped onto the iPad’s App Store that focus on doing one thing really well: writing text and saving your files out to Dropbox. These applications are essentially the same, differing in nuance features such as visual file management and editor customization. Though these applications are rather simple, some of them aren’t exactly wallet friendly – five dollars is a lot to ask for a simple text editor. So the question remains, “Which Dropbox editor is the best for me?” In the pursuit of text friendly shenanigans, we’ve rounded up five Dropbox editors and tossed them into the ring to duke it out for the MacStories crown.
iSkinza Might Just Be The Sexiest Vinyl Skins for iOS Devices
Our good friend Arron Hirst, who regularly blogs over at RazorianFly, has been working on something very cool recently. If you follow the guy (you should), then you know that he released an interesting set of iPhone wallpapers in the past, known by the absurdly awesome names of Zumoki, Uberkis, Folzi and Klarion. Now, those wallpapers have been turned into adhesive skins for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad which you can check out over at Hirst’s new project, iSkinza. Read more

Apple’s Segmentation Strategy, and the Folly of Conventional Wisdom
Apple has launched three major new product lines since 2001: the iPod (October, 2001); the iPhone (July, 2007); and the iPad (April, 2010).
The company’s stock is up 3,000 percent since the launch of iPod, 125 percent since the launch of iPhone, and 20 percent since the launch of iPad.
In that same time period, the major devotees of the loosely coupled model – Microsoft, Google, Intel and Dell – have been, at best, outpaced by Apple 6X (in the case of Google dating back to the launch of iPod) and at worst, either been wiped out (in the case of Dell) or treaded water (in the cases of Microsoft and Intel) in every comparison period.

iMac Touch Panel Samples Already Sent to Apple?
I’m pretty sure the iMac Touch rumor is one of the best ones we’ve had to deal recently: Digitimes has played the most important role in this story, reporting about the iMac Touch in January thus starting an all-new rumor chain that extended to websites such as LoopRumors. Then, about a month ago, Patently Apple discovered an actual patent for an iMac computer capable of shifting from a classic desktop configuration to a touch-based, iOS-like interface. Read more
The Apple TV Is Jailbroken, But Not Ready For Apps Yet
Well as usual, that didn’t take long. The header says it all, folks: late last night Musclenerd confirmed that the Apple TV is, indeed, already jailbroken, but they have to figure out how to run apps on it.
The video embedded below shows root access through the SHAtter exploit, and now we just have to wait for the Dev-Team to come up with some solution to install Cydia and run unapproved software on the new device. Personally, I’m back to looking for a way to buy one in Italy.
