iPad is the new iPod as TV reaches its biggest showdown yet
Reader D.A.R.Y.L. sends us what he thinks is the LCD assembly of Apple’s next generation iPod touch. Both parts found on Alibaba.


Engadget posts a quick howto on getting your iPad to play Flash videos…if that’s what you are into.

Details below 0. Make sure your iPad is jailbroken. It’s pretty easy — just run Spirit and you’re done.
1. Download Frash.deb and keep it nearby. [Update: We’ve been advised against hosting this ourselves, but it’s not hard to find out there.]
2. Decide how you’re going to get files onto your iPad. For Mac users, it’s dead simple — just install Netatalk, which will automatically pop up your iPad in the Finder’s Sharing list. Windows users can try out this guide at iClarified to get OpenSSH installed and running and use WinSCP — it’s just as easy. Either way, the login is “root” and the password is “alpine.” Remember, you can seriously screw things up while you’re in there, so be careful!
3. Once you’ve got access to the iPad’s filesystem, navigate to /var/root/Media as shown here:

4. Once there, open Media and create a folder called “Cydia.”
5. Open the new Cydia folder and create another new folder called “AutoInstall”
6. Upload Frash to your new folder.
7. Restart your iPad a couple times.
8. You’re set! Now just navigate to a page in Safari with non-video Flash content and hit the F logo to play it. Again, no video for now, but games and other simple content works. We did have a few crashes here and there, but it’s early code, and things are bound to get better.

A vast collection of new images of Apple
Apple already has a hit on its hands with the iPad, which is seemingly pushing the company into new markets as it sold its first three million in just 80 days — but how many will Apple sell next year?
Speculation based on data analysis is usually slightly more accurate than speculation based on reading runes or tea leaves (though arguably a whole lot less interesting to watch), but that
As demoed at Google I/O as part of GoogleTV, Youtube has released ‘Leanback’ for computers today. There are gobs of Flash involved so it doesn’t work on iDevices; nor will it ever. But it’s not bad for those with Mac Mini mediacenters, however.

Somehow, it doesn’t seem like a fantastic idea to base a new streaming video on Flash, especially when a company like Google could do a lot with HTML5. Ten seconds in, I am already getting beachballs. That being said, this is kinda cool when it works.
Alright, straight out of the trivia and conversation dept. comes the latest Apple iPhone leak — the white iPhone 4 box has been unveiled. Hurrah! Break out the champagne!
Anyhoo, if you’re on of the think and hold different ones waiting until the end of the month to pick up Apple’s harder than thought to manufacture but still on the way white iPhones, enjoy these little pictures — perhaps stick them to your old phone to stave off the longing while you look forward to your next iDevice. Be lucky.

AT&T has come through with a statement on reports the company has been capping upload speeds for iPhone users.
In a statement we first spotted through D: All Things Digital, AT&T is describing the problem as one pertaining to a software issue.

That picture above is pretty interesting, right?
It features professional model, Olivia Price, one of a series of shots taken by Lee Morris during a high-end fashion shoot, complete with sylists, make-up artists, and others. And all the images were captured with an iPhone 3GS.
@Arnold Kim notes this amazing story, in which the photographer tells us all about how he assembled his team, including people to capture a video of the whole thing (below).
Admitting he used Photoshop on the original images, the professional lensman says:

Brace yourselves for yet more confusion and uncertainty as The Beatles Apple Corp. announces it has made its album catalog available to digital download services — but music from The Beatles remains absent, even as Apple and Google prepare for music in the cloud. And does anybody out there care any more?
The European Union has launched a new initiative called the “Digital Agenda” which hopes to expand the ways in which companies can violate anti-trust laws; especially in environments where standards have yet to be defined.
It defends its arguments by stating that where there is no interoperability, competition is lost. “Since not all pervasive technologies are based on standards the benefits of interoperability risk being lost in such areas.
The Commission will examine the feasibility of measures that could lead significant market players to license interoperability information while at the same time promoting innovation and competition.”
The Antitrust suit specifically targets Apple disallowance of developers to use Flash to create application on Apple’s market-leading iOS. EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes curtly states “We need to make sure that significant market players cannot just choose to deny interoperability with their product.” This may force Apple to allow iOS developers to use other Programming suites such as Adobe’s Flash.
Full quote below:
User data is moving more and more into the ‘cloud’ and people are getting their music, videos and applications digitally (for example through iTunes) instead of buying them in physical media.
We need to make sure that significant market players cannot just choose to deny interoperability with their product. This is particularly important in cases where standards don’t exist.
Under the Digital Agenda for Europe, we will examine the feasibility of introducing measures to make big market players license interoperability information.
InteroperabilityThe lack of interoperability information was at the heart of one of her most high-profile battles with ICT giant Microsoft, which cost the company a $1.3 billion fine in 2008.
This is not just about Microsoft or any big company like Apple, IBM or Intel. The main challenge is that consumers need choice when it comes to software or hardware products,” the commissioner insisted.”Any kind of IT product should be able to communicate with any type of service in the future.
