iNcubator: Slide to contract with the Incubator (QB)~

Through some plist work, you can have QB live in your iPhone, too! (Anime: Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

iClassic 是個模仿 iPod Classic 介面的軟體，JB 後才能在 Cydia Store 購買，售您 USD 2。雖然他的功能現在只有很基本的操作、也只能聽音樂；不能看歌詞、不能像真正的 iPod Classic 一樣在 Now Playing 的地方評分、切換播放模式之類的 (更不要說 iPod Classic OS 到後期功能其實塞得有點複雜XDD)，但是用來復古一下、自爽一下是很 OK 了。

功能有缺爽度會稍微下降，這部份就不知道是作者懶了不想做、還是受到 SDK 的限制 :P

iClassic 宣稱，因為版權關係沒辦法直接附 iPod 的實機照片在裡面做模擬，所以裝好第一次打開的時候會是一個很山寨的 iPod Classic。Cydia 上可以裝很多主題，但是都倚賴 WinterBoard 才能裝，我不知道為什麼。WinterBoard 在 iOS 4 以上會把主畫面的字弄得很醜，所以我完全不想裝。還好你可以手動把佈景主題裝進去，這邊有教學。

這張圖是我抓了 iPod Classic 的產品照片，然後改了一張 @2x 的圖片餵進去。不然本來的圖片放在 Retina Display 下面看都會糊糊的= =

Textie.me is an app like What’s App. It looks pretty nice, and the ad-suppoted version is free. Let’s try it out.

Update: I found there’s more after trying it out. It can send your message as an Email if the recipient is not using Textie. The most amazing thing is that Textie can handle your mail conversation (sent out first via Textie) as a Textie conversation. That’s just cool!

Daring Fireball: New iPhone Developer Agreement Bans the Use of Adobe's Flash-to-iPhone Compiler

John Gruber at Daring Fireball indicated that Apple is banning “applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool” via its new license agreement came out with iPhone OS 4.0.

I was pretty confused, and couldn’t see why this is necessary. I don’t think those apps not written purely in Obj-C, C++, C and JavaScript would do any harm to the App Store: instead, I think the banned ways may enrich the App Store, since they enables developers who may not be familiar with the languages on the white list.

I just think it’s too mean to kill the ways to App Store, no matter whether it was intended to destroy Adobe’s Flash CS5 or not.

Update: Gruber has his view of this license change here.

Opera Mini 5 on the iPhone (via operasoftware)

The comparison video shows that Opera mini 5 on iPhone can load 4 more webpages than iPhone’s built-in Mobile Safari, with the help of server-side compression. And this makes Opera mini 5 look super awesome. I just can’t wait to have a try.

It was submitted to Apple about 4 hours ago (i.e., March 23, 12:25 UTC.) Let’s wait and see if Apple would let the competitor get into the App Store.
