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.

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.

Latest Apple Job Listing Is Kind Of Intriguing
I can’t help but being excited when I see a new and interesting job listing on Apple.com: it makes me think of what’s coming next for us and what the folks over at Cupertino are working on.
The New All Aluminum Mac mini with HDMI
While all of us expected to awaken to iPhone 4 pre-orders, none of us expected a rather serious Mac mini update that’s available online and in stores this morning. Their smallest Mac now features HDMI out and an SD Card Slot - big upgrades for the tiny desktop that make it suitable for hooking up to the big screen. Also included is our usual Nvidia 320M integrated graphics, and the choice of a 2.4GHz or 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo processor, making it 2x faster than the previous model. Firewire 800 also stays on the Mac Mini, but it has lost a USB port with the feature updates - which is fine by me.
But Mac fans such as myself are most excited with Apple’s amazing visual refresh, which casts the Mac mini in an 1.4-inch-thin unibody all-aluminum enclosure over a round rubber panel that allows customer access to replacing RAM. The Apple team completely reinvented the guts by including a new green, space saving power supply which completely eliminates the need for the brick - all you need now is a single straight cable. A powerhouse that only consumes 10 Watts of energy when idle (85W when active), the Mac mini is also Apple’s most energy friendly Mac yet. Cupertino, this is a job well done.
Apple, Steam, Mac Mini and Gaming - What’s Next?
Apple has released the new Mac mini which features improved graphics and faster performances, amongst many other new features such as the long-awaited unibody enclosure. Not to mention the HDMI port on the back, which makes the Mac mini “come to the big screen”. As I saw this new iteration of Apple’s little big desktop computer, I couldn’t help but thinking about the direction Apple is going with gaming on Mac OS X.

We Love You, We Hate You - We Even Send Emails About You
Here’s a story for you. You have to think as Adobe and Apple as two lovers who chose to slept in two separate beds. They argue, they fight - but in the end they still love each other. Even if money - a lot of money - is between them, they don’t forget about where they come from.
So Steve Jobs wrote a letter against Flash, and Adobe run an ad campaign in Flash to tell the whole world they love Apple. Oh yeah, the founders also wrote an open letter with lots of trademark symbols and such. Steve attacked, Adobe spreads love. Unusual, isn’t it?
The point is, Apple loves Adobe too. And as MG Siegler over at TechCrunch notices, Apple this morning has started emailing customers that “Adobe CS5 is here”. A coincidence? Maybe. Good timing? For sure.
Until your next thoughts, Steve. Adobe loves you.
Adobe Founders Respond to Apple
Adobe has just launched a brand new ad campaign called “We [heart] Choice” (see more info here) and published an open letter written by founders Geschke and Warnock, responding to Apple’s position against Flash and closed technologies.
You can check out the screenshots of the ad campaign (first seen on Engadget) and the letter after the break.
