iPad Simulator Settings Reveal HTML5 YouTube, File Sharing, Lock Screen Media Controls Posted: 20 Feb 2010 12:48 PM PST 9to5mac continues to dive into the iPhone 3.2 Beta 2 SDK and its iPad simulator, this time showing off HTML5 YouTube, file sharing, lock screen media controls, and more. HTML5 H.264 YouTube video is shown playing right in the iPad Safari browser, just as it does on Mac or Windows. It looks good enough for 9to5mac to wonder if the YouTube app is still needed! File sharing has an on/off toggle, and TiPb’s really excited about this one. The text reads “File sharing allows you to transfer application files to and from your iPad and computer”, and there’s a (currently empty) header that reads “Applications”. We’ve already asked for a file repository, sort of like the Camera Roll does now for images, and some apps have gotten in trouble for using the DCIM folder to do just that. And official place to load, share, and save documents and other files would fill a huge functionality gap for iPad and iPhone both. Lock Screen media controls are interesting, as we saw Apple demonstrate the iPad lock screen woking as a digital photo frame, but it does make sense for watching movies as well. There are a few more finds, including some new things like built-in Google suggestions in iPad Safari, and some things we’ve already seen in the iPhone like percentage battery readout and Chinese character handwriting input. If anyone else is digging around in the simulator and comes across anything more, let us know! iPad Simulator Settings Reveal HTML5 YouTube, File Sharing, Lock Screen Media Controls is a story by TiPb.

TiPb Gear: mophie Marketplace and mophie juice pack TV (Macworld 2010) Posted: 20 Feb 2010 05:49 AM PST mophie was a good friend of mine during Macworld 2010 as I literally walked the show floor with two (2!) mophie juice pack airs ($79.95 – TiPb Store link) to get me through the near-constant use of my iPhone required for the the live coverage — and yes, I typically drained them both and then some! New at Macworld, mophie’s Jon Bradley was showing off their mophie Marketplace, which combines a case and a credit card reader to handle transactions on the go and the mophie juice pack TV, which combines a juice pack battery with FLO TV service. Marketplace will be available April 15 while juice pack TV is shooting for March at a price point probably a bit north of the juice pack by itself, but may include some month of free FLO TV service to offset it. Check both out after the break and let us know what you think. You want to swipe credit cards and watch TV on your iPhone?
