Some of the features of the upcoming new version of the iPhone’s firmware.

Real Player 11 Final Version

Posted on 5 June 2008 in 3rd Party Software, Freeware | No Comments »

The final version has finally been released, this new version has a great new feature, it gives you the ability to save flash animations like the ones you see in YouTube or Daily Motion.

This is a surprise, since it wasn’t enabled in the beta version of Real Player! Now I understand better why CosmoPod needs you to have Real Player installed!

Download Real Player 11 here.

You can easily install an application on a jailbroken iPhone, but a few number of apps is really worth mentionning.

It combies stability & ease of use.
Even its icon is gorgeous!

Google App Engine vs. Adobe Air

Posted on 18 May 2008 in 3rd Party Software, Freeware | No Comments »

This is the NEXT internet revolution!
Probably inspired by Konfabulator (Yahoo Widgets), Apple’s Dashboard and the iPhone web applications, this new technologies are impressive! Based on some runtime environments, Adobe Air and Google App Engine are like some “OS” inside your operating system, based on native web applications.

I personally have only tried Adobe Air, and I’m very impressed by the results, especially with AOL Videos (as you can see it in the screenshot):


As you can see, the application is beautiful, and runs flawlessly!

The applications are so easy to install (Adobe Air), here’s for example the eBay Adobe Air application’s page:


Better: once installed, the application goes in your Applications folder just like a regular one, and man.. how fast they launch!!!

Another screenshot of eBay Desktop:

More? The site of AOL Music - Top 100 Videos is about 900 kb (less than a Dashboard Widget)!

Flickr Launches Videos!

Posted on 8 April 2008 in News | No Comments »

Flickr’s turn to get into the embedded videos market, with its new service for artists: Flickr Videos beta! Videos can be only 90 seconds in length and 150MB in size for the moment, but they will probably increase this small size of course!

Flickr, which was acquired by Yahoo in March 2005, defined the concept of photo sharing, but has been slow to extend the service into the video world. In the meantime, Google’s YouTube has become the primary destination for video sharing, capturing one out of every three of the online videos in the U.S., according to comScore Media Metrix
