The App Store app/fan page was created by Apple and Virtue, a social media company, and allows Facebook users to browse the App Store’s 170,000+ apps from right in Facebook. When Facebook users find an app they like, they simply click the “Get App” button and are taken to the App Store in iTunes. The App Store Facebook page first launched a little over two weeks ago.

Every time I see this image on the iPad Design page, I can’t help but think, “what if you could pair two iPads and use one solely as the keyboard and input device for the other?”
Overkill? Absolutely. But an interesting concept, nonetheless.

A post that includes a Gordon Ramsey quote and an Apple reference? That’s what we call an automatic reblog in these parts.
It doesn’t matter how amazing the steak is, if it’s served on a cold plate it’s crap. If it’s served with a dull knife it’s crap. If the gravy isn’t piping hot, it’s crap.

Rumor: Will Apple add a camera flash to the iPhone?
A flash would be a great addition.
Hey TUAW, the offhand remark stating the iPhone camera is “stale” because it has fewer megapixles is unwarranted. Nearly all iPhone 3GS reviews consider its auto-focus camera to be the best you can get in a mobile phone.
