Apple Suggests You Should Open Presentations In…iBooks

Right after the iPhone 4 was announced, Apple updated its website with screenshots of the new features. Mail.app has a dedicated page on the website, and we noticed that Apple posted a screenshot of Mail allowing you to open a presentation attachment in Keynote. Too bad Keynote for iPhone hadn’t been announced at the keynote, so we all wondered whether that might mean that iWork suite was on its way to the iPhone.

Spotify for Safari: Exactly What I Was Looking For

Ok, I’m quite into this “discover the coolest Safari extensions out there” thing. Developers are coming out with innovative and useful tweaks every day, and we’re here to cover them. But when it’s about Spotify, the beloved music streaming service everyone wants to use somehow, I’m kind of a fanboy. The service is great, the catalogue is huge and the social features are neat.

Most of the time though, I hear about new artists I’ve never heard of while reading news in Safari 5. We Are Scientists have a new album out there? Let me search in Spotify. Wakey Wakey? Let me paste in Spotify real quick. See, it’s all about moving between windows and pasting stuff - boring and slow. Thanks to Johan Brook’s Spotify for Safari I can now do all of this directly from my browser window.

GameSalad is a Game Creation Tool for Mac, iPhone, and iPad

If you’re not impressed with the games at this week’s E3, why not make your own? TUAW reports that GameSalad gives anyone the ability to create games for the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. If you’ve ever wanted to create the platform adventure of your dreams, this is your chance. Though TUAW admits,

“Apparently, lots of people have that know-how, because there are already over 700 games that have used GameSalad’s development kit to bring their titles to the App Store. Herring showed me a few of them, and while they were playable, none of them really intrigued me. It’s tough to blame GameSalad for that, though; most of the fault on the games that I played came from the creators, not the tools.”

Hopefully we’ll see someone put these tools to good use, and in the meantime you can check it out for yourself here.
