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.
Apple Suggests You Should Open Presentations In…iBooks
Developers: You Can Now Submit Safari Extensions to Apple
If you’re a developer and have been playing around with the idea of creating Safari extensions, you can now submit them to Apple to be included in the Safari Extensions gallery. To do so, head over https://developer.apple.com/submission/safari/ (requires a registered Apple developer account) and fill out the form about your extension.
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.
Finally, It Happened: AT&T Sold Out of iPhone 4
In less than 24 hours, for the busiest day of online sales in AT&T’s history.
Engadget has heard from AT&T:
“Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who preorder iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We’ll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24.”
You know, stuff that happens for Android phones too.
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson on Apple & Network Improvements
It’s a big deal when you’re the CEO of a company whose networks are straining under iPhone 4 pre-orders, dropped calls, and overall spotty 3G performance. Yet Randall Stephenson remains optimistic about the future of AT&T and Apple, and had rather positive things to say about Apple’s iPad.
iPhone 4 Shipping Slips to July 2nd in the UK
What a day for Apple: they launched pre-orders for the iPhone 4 and Apple.com collapsed. They released the new Mac mini. They released the official Apple Store app for iPhone. They even pushed Mac OS X 10.6.4 online.
But the big news still remains the iPhone 4, which turns out it’s already a smashing success, at least considering the huge amount of pre-orders.

Apple has just released Mac OS X 10.6.4. It’s available in Software Update and comes as a 313 MB download. Check out the full changelog after the break.
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.
