No I can’t say that Apple has now allowed Flash on their iPhones, iPods or iPads but what I can report is that there are in fact ways to get it running with applications actually available on the AppStore for free with no jailbreaking or software modifications required. Pick up either Cloud Browse or Mocha VNC Lite and you’ll be able to get this to work! Cloud Browse works by allowing you to use flash on a web browser from their own servers. Other than a little lag it works great! The only downside is that they limit the amount of time you spend on it so that other users can use the service as well. Mocha VNC Lite works by connecting to your own computer either Mac or PC and displaying your computer screen on your iDevice’s screen allowing you to control it. You’ve probably already caught onto this one! Simply open up your web browser on your computer and enjoy using flash! Of course because you’re using your own computer there is no limit on the service like Cloud Browse. The only downside is that there is no audio with Mocha VNC Lite, there is audio with Cloud Browse! I hope you enjoy exploring new media, videos and games run on flash on your iDevices. Now you don’t need to complain to Apple anymore, your device has everything it needs! Be sure to watch our full video demonstration of both of these apps!

If you’re an Apple fan you’ve probably had all of their Macs, iPods, and the new iPad. But have you tried iWork? Most people are scared to switch because they feel it’s incompatible with other suites like Microsoft Office which was proven most popular on a poll in our sidebar! I’d like to start by assuring you that it is in fact compatible! Where’s my reference? It says so right on the iWork box! The suite consist of Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Pages is a standard text editor like Microsoft Word, Keynote is like PowerPoint but much more advanced and Numbers is a standard spreadsheet creator like Excel. Unlike other companies, Apple focuses on detail like the quality of how something looks that is created with their software for example a movie created in iMovie. iWork is much the same, it features stunning templates and graphics to make your work look truly amazing. iWork includes what is probably the most professional presentation creation software on the planet! Keynote features stunning templates, animations and transitions to make presentations look jaw dropping. In fact Apple uses Keynote to create their own keynote presentations during product unveilings and special events. If you’ve got an iPad you can get the same 3 programs each as an app. They’ve got just about everything the Mac version has other than having a few less templates. To grab iWork for yourself or find out more be sure to visit their website and don’t go without watching our video preview.

At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference this year they gave developers a sneak peak preview of their new Xcode. One thing that Apple needs to stay on top of is their resources for developers. After all, without developers there would be no AppStore, Macs would have less tools and it just goes on. Apple claims to have created a much nicer development experience for programmers and developers using Xcode to create software for Apple devices. When you think about it they’re partly competing with other companies like Microsoft. Developers would prefer developing for a platform with a more comfortable and fun experience. Which ever platform has more people developing software for it will have more software and will attract more users to it because of that! That’s one area where Macs are behind as PCs currently have a lot more 3rd party software. With Xcode 4 Apple is hoping to bring some of the PC 3rd party software to their platform by encouraging developers to jump into Xcode. The biggest change that Apple has made is having Interface Builder built into Xcode so that developers can see everything at once while being organized at the same time. Anyone could see how writing code all day could get boring and Xcode 4 is trying to make it fun again!

Just picked up your brand new iPad? As you’ve probably realized by now the iPad is pretty fragile. Although the touch screen glass is scratch proof it’s still susceptible to other damage if it’s dropped or mishandled. To make sure your beautiful new device stays safe don’t go without taking a look at the Griffin Elan Passport folio case. It’s going to ding you about $50 but honestly for the cost of the iPad it’s definitely necessary. The case is made of what seems to be fake leather, they don’t give any details on the material. In just a few seconds you can secure your iPad in the elastic straps. The case closes like a book with a little strap onto the iPad. This is not only great for protecting the screen when it’s not in use, it also gives your iPad some disguise. When asked, most people thought it was just simply an agenda! The inside sleeve of the case features a pocket and slots for things like credit cards. We figured out that the case can also stand up perfectly for watching videos. The only downside about the case is that the sides are left wide open. Although this does allow you to access the controls on the sides of the device it provides virtually no protection from rain etc. The case is great for around the house but traveling outdoors with your device protection from weather is pretty much nonexistent!
