iPad and Chromium OS dance on video

Oh Hexxeh, you sly tease. Yesterday, we saw the Chromium OS impresario post up an image of Google’s browser-centric environment running around inside Apple’s iPad and today he’s followed it up with a video. Unfortunately, it’s not the best performance demo in the world and is all too brief, but it does show touch sensitivity …

Booq Boa iPad Sleeve, Like an Upgrade to Apple’s Own

After testing (and buying) far too many iPad cases, including the famous bamboo Moleskine-alike Dodocase, I finally settled on Apple’s own slimline sleeve. So good is it that I have removed it precisely once since buying it almost a month ago, and that was to show my mother the iPad inside. Booq’s new Boa folio-style …

Apple TV restores in iTunes via micro-USB, UI hacked onto iPod touch (video)

It sure didn’t take long for the dev community to hack into Apple TV’s iOS build. One of the first payouts is a port of Apple TV’s “lowtide” 10-foot user interface to an iPod touch as briefly demonstrated in the first video after the break. While not very useful on such a small display, that …

PlayOn finally gets its iPhone app approved, HTML5 lets out a sigh of resignation

We’re loving this new, slightly more liberal wave of App Store approvals (aren’t we easily pleased?), and it looks like PlayOn drew the lucky number today. After waiting in vain for an app approval, PlayOn actually developed a fairly sufficient HTML5 solution to its streaming-web-video-to-your-device problem, but there’s nothing quite like the sheen and polish …

The Daily Slash: September 29th 2010

It’s the middle of the week, but in better news, we’re coming to the end of September. And that also means we’re just about into the fourth quarter of the year. Counting down the days now. Tonight, though, in the news from around the Web, we’ve got a Jaguar concept car that looks amazing. And …
