Patently Apple has found out that Apple has filed two new trademark applications, and this time for a badge (or as the application reports, a “mark”) with the words “Made for iPhone” or “Made for iPad” on it.
New Apple’s motto? There’s a trademark for that.
Apple has been talking a lot about HTML5 and open technologies, so much that they even created a page for HTML5 iPad-ready websites and wrote a popular “blog post” about the problems of Flash as a closed platform and the need to support new standards.
But as you probably know, Apple doesn’t actually fully support HTML5 in its flagship browser, the desktop version of Safari. Indeed, Safari for Mac (and Windows) doesn’t have official and full support for many HTML5 specs like Geolocation API, Drag and Drop, Form Features and Inline SVG but according to this new email from Steve we received, all this stuff is coming.
The Nintendo geek in me can’t help but be excited with stuff like this. I mean, the iPad running a SNES emulator and controlled via a Wiimote?
Just check out the video after the break and if you haven’t, you should consider a jailbreak now.
There’s no doubt that the ABC Player application for the iPad is one of the best pieces of software on the App Store right now: you can have hundreds of episodes of popular shows streamed to your iPad for free, with some advertising here and there and an overall good looking app. It works over 3G and Wifi, all the Lost seasons and episodes are in there: basically, it’s awesome. And it turns out that ABC itself is pretty happy with the results as well.
Apple has just released a new beta of iPhone OS 4.0, and it’s available at developer.apple.com.
You can leave this page open and keep refreshing, as we’ll be updating it with all the details about this release. If you spot something new or bugs, feel free to share in the comments below.
Seriously, I had to close the Youtube page after the 5th time to stop laughing. A masterpiece.

Some rather delicious folks in Italy seem to have set up a bodega of their own. Appleecious’ own Bundleecious is here for seven days to fill our pockets with - you guessed it - more Mac software. For only $9.99 (a great deal), you can get six sweet Mac applications to add to your collection. Ten dollars for me is what it costs for a lunch outside campus, so I think I’ll be bringing some PB&J tomorrow to enjoy my new shwag.
Remember Byline? It was one of the first RSS readers for iPhone and it’s become a major hit in the App Store, granting developer Milo Bird a well deserved spot amongst the most successful devs of iPhone apps. But Byline is ready to go under a major update, labelled 3.0. which we’ve been able to test in its almost-final version.
Byline 3.0 will feature important UI changes and improvements, revamped sharing capabilities (like Twitter and Instapaper), extended support for gesture navigation and a lot of other fixes. I have to say that it really feels like a brand new app and, most of all, the new engine is fast. If you turn caching off, I’d say is as fast as Reeder’s one - but unlike Silvio Rizzi’s app it’s got a native interface which I’m sure will convince many users to try it out again.
Also, Byline 3.0 will be available for free for previous customers, and should be available in the App Store very soon. We’ve managed to take some screenshots of the current build. you can take a look after the break.
We can’t wait for Byline 3.0.
As a newbie in the world of journalism and blogging, I’m thankful to not only live in a world where we have the freedom to create amazing content (on incredible pieces of technology), but to share it and inspire people. Hacks/Hackers has a really cool website dedicated to hacks (the people who make and share content) and hackers (the folks who make the hacks’ job possible). It’s inspiring to see people come together to share stories, develop new media, and spread the love. I encourage you to get involved with the Hacks/Hackers community if you’re all about writing and tech, plus there’s an upcoming event related directly to our newborn iPads.
