First Screenshots of AutoCAD for Mac

Back in April we reported that AutoCAD was probably coming soon to the Mac, considering all the OS X references that were spotted in the SDK. Today we’ve received the first screenshots of an actual beta, running at 64-bit on Mac OS X.

The app is names “Sledgehammer Beta 1”, doesn’t seem very polished yet (it’s coming from Windows) but at least there’s already support for Magic Mouse gestures. Check out the screenshots after the break.

New Images Of Next Gen iPhone Parts Surface

iPhone repair site uBreakiFix has posted some images of parts of the alleged next iPhone, which - again - show us the black and white front panels. Quite interesting, you can see that there’s a physical feature right above the earpiece, and the website claims that it’s the proximity sensor. We find it quite hard to believe, considering that Apple has always hidden sensor under the glass to make them invisible to the users.

Check out the images after the break.

Sneak Peek at Reeder for iPad

People have been talking a lot about the “second wave” of iPad apps these days. It’s pretty obvious that many developers rushed to have apps out in the iPad App Store on day one and many others are still working on new ones to be released / announced after the WWDC. That would be the second wave, if you’d like to call it so. And you can expect it to be freaking good.

To get straight to the point, we all know what’s the app currently missing on the iPad. If you’re an active Google Reader user and have an iPhone, I bet 10 bucks that you’re waiting for Reeder to be available on your tablet. If so, you should take a look at the screenshots we have below.

UPDATE: Check out our review of Reeder for iPad here.

Chirpy, Twitter DMs As Text Messages

And you have an iPhone too, perhaps running the recently released Twitter’s official app so that you can send direct messages with it. But, Twitter for iPhone doesn’t support push notifications for DMs. Hell, it doesn’t support push notifications for anything.

If you’d like to receive instant notifications for your Twitter DMs, look no further than Chirpy.

Phoenix Wright for iPhone Available Next Week

TouchArcade is reporting that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be available next week for $4.99 in the App Store. Phoenix Wright is a very popular console game from Capcom which went very well on the Nintendo DS before and, in fact, the iPhone version doesn’t seem to be anything more than a simple porting of that one.

For those of you not familiar with the concept:

“Phoenix Wright games are a strange mixture of a visual adventure game that play a lot like mixture of a hidden object game and a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. The game is segmented in to two portions, the investigation and the trial. While investigating, you visit various location and gather evidence by looking around and interviewing anyone who is around. When you’re finished with that, you go to court where you cross examine witnesses, present evidence, and object to the arguments presented by the prosecuting lawyer.”

Check out the first screenshots after the break.
