Push Notifications coming to Mobile Twitter
The folks at Twitter aren’t letting Apple’s Ping get all the social networking attention these days. Yesterday saw the release of Twitter’s official iPad app (with mixed first impressions), and now Mashable has gotten word from Twitter itself that they’re testing push notification in-house and planning to release the feature to the public soon.

iOS Surpasses Linux as 3rd most popular internet platform behind Windows and Mac
Those sales figures Steve Jobs and Apple are always talking about? Well, they’re more than just numbers. The iOS mobile platform now ranks third as the most popular way to access the internet. The actual percentage of market share is still quite low, but for a mobile platform, Apple’s iOS is leaps ahead. As Vice [...]
Get Nasa App HD on Your iPad for Free
The first few days I had an iPad, it seemed like the App Store was light on great, informational apps that came free of charge. Throwing that “HD” at the end of an app’s title seemed to jack up the price for whatever reason. I think this is still true to some extent, but thanks [...]
Dodonpachi Resurrection Review: Bullet Hell!
Upon playing Japanese developer Cave’s newest iOS offering, Dodonpachi Resurrection, my reaction was basically: oh, so THIS is why they call it “bullet hell!”

Facebook and Ping not Working Together Just Yet
It’s been a strange first day for Apple’s brand new social network. Some music fans have been able to connect with their friends on Ping via Facebook, but the vast majority of us are finding no trace of Facebook. The reason? Steve Jobs says their terms were “onerous” and that Apple simply couldn’t agree to [...]
Twitter App Updated to Support iPad
For the longest time, we only had third party options to use Twitter on our iPhones. Then Twitter absorbed Tweetie and those longing for an official app from the huge, 140-character social networking site got what they wanted.
Despite the expectations of some, this didn’t stop third-party developers from thriving in the App Store, and it [...]
Epic Citadel Review: Gorgeous Preview Of What’s To Come
Epic games didn’t wasn’t any time in following up on their incredible demonstration at yesterday’s Apple keynote. Almost immediately, Epic Citadel became available in the App Store. Unlike a typical demo that gives a teaser sample of some gameplay, Epic Citadel survives on visuals alone. It is, hands down, the most beautiful thing we’ve seen [...]
iTunes to Offer Social Music Discovery with Ping
With 160 million users in 23 countries, it’s hard to argue when Apple says iTunes is the number one music community in the world. But until now, Apple hasn’t tried to give these users a way to connect and share what they’re finding in the massive store. Sure, we could always “tell a friend” or [...]
iStethoscope Downloaded by 3 Millions Doctors
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if all these productivity applications are actually useful, or just fun to use. But in the case of iStethoscope from developer Peter Bentley, the sheer number of downloads by actual professionals seem to indicate that the iPhone could have a future in the medical industry.
I’m not going to let [...]
Smaller, $99 Second Generation Apple TV Fits in Your Hand But Hosts Tons of New Features
Until now, Apple has seen their endeavors with set top boxes as a “hobby,” according to the slides from Steve Jobs’ keynote earlier today. But it looks like they’re trying to change that. The new version of Apple TV is far more affordable, and if they’ve read their customer feedback correctly, it caters to just [...]
