Depending on who you talk to they say it’s entirely reasonable to replace a laptop with an iPad. But is that really the case?
Last week I went out of town for seven days and made the decision not to bring my MacBook Pro, perfect opportunity to put my iPad to the test.
First, I loaded up some additional software for my trip, since most of what I’d need access to would be work related things. The extra few apps I installed were:
Despite Steve’s best efforts to murder Flash it still lives on, and maybe you’re one of those people who really wants Flash on your iDevice. Well, you’re in luck! Hacker extraordinaire, comex, has some up with a little something called Frash, which promises to bring Flash playback to your iDevice.
Previously you had to install Frash by compiling the .deb file yourself, but someone made a.deb and has added it to a Cydia Repo.
Note: This version of Frash will not work on the iPhone 3G. It should work fine for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPad.
Warning: This is an alpha piece of software which is being updated with bug fixes regularly, installing from this repo does not guarentee you’ll recieve updated versions of Frash. To follow the development of Frash and compile the latest and greatest version yourself, check out comex’s GitHub page for it.
Here’s how to install Frash on your device:

Get it while it’s hot folks, N.O.V.A. HD the premier FPS game for the iPad is on sale today for $0.99, previously $6.99, and before that $9.99.

Apple has released iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone/iPod touch and iOS 3.2.2 for iPad to patch the PDF exploit that JailbreakMe.com has been using in their current browser based jailbreak. Meaning that if you’re planning on jailbreaking anytime soon, don’t upgrade your iDevice past 4.0.1 or else you’ll be sunk.
Never fear though, if you failed at using commonsense and have already upgraded, the jailbreaking community is hard at work on a new jailbreak for 4.0.2, although it’s likely this one will end up being a tethered jailbreak (in other words it will require a computer in order to jailbreak your iDevice).
This tutorial starts at square one and walks you through writing your very own Hello World app, the one prerequisite is that you have at least Xcode 3.2 installed on your Mac. You can grab the latest version of Xcode from Apple’s Developer website.
Xcode can be fairly daunting to the average user, even though it’s one of the friendlier programming environments out there. My goal is through this sporadic series of Xcode tutorials to try and reduce that intimidation factor.
