Apple removes some adult apps, Photoshop 1.0 for iPhone, video calling in 3.2 SDK
February 22, 2010
Apple has removed some adult apps that have had complaints from users. Among the apps removed were one that animates parts of public in pictures and one for a porn star's fans.
Photoshop is one of the most popular photo editing applications around. A version of the app is already on the App Store, but those wanting old school Photoshop 1.0 can now get the app as well.
A new feature for the iPhone and iPad is rumored to be coming in the 3.2 SDK. The new feature is video calling, but since the iPhone lacks a front camera and the iPad has no camera, the feature would need new hardware.

There is plus confirmation that Skype is working for a similar app that will grace the iPad when the latter rolls out in less than 2 months' duration.

After all, sifting through the iPhone 3.2 SDK pointed towards a preferences list file that allows videos as wide as 1,280 pixels and a total 921,000 pixel count to be displayed.

More Hints That The Apple iPad Can Handle Phone Calls?
January 29, 2010
We previously dug up some data hinting that the newly-announced Apple iPad might be capable of taking photos in the future, now it seems that there are additionally indications that the iPad might plus be able to prepare phone calls. Folks who have been fiddling with the new SDK have been able to get the “touch to return call” bar to seem on the iPad emulator, just like how it would seem on the iPhone (though obviously larger). So what does that mean? It’s hard to guess at the moment, but possibly the options are in place in the event Apple does decide to allow you to construct phone calls with the iPad? That would probably start the rumor mill churning again.

Confirmed: Apple iPad Will Run ALL iPhone Apps
January 27, 2010
It looks like the rumors were true. While initially it’s hard to imagine that you’d be running iPhone apps on the iPad (due to the screen size difference), Apple has decided that it can be done. So the iPad will be getting ALL the apps that are available for the iPhone, which is great news, considering that there’s a huge catalog of stuff out there for the iPhone. You’ll be able to run the apps in its current (smaller) size, though it might look a little weird, floating in the center of the screen, or it can be maximized to fill the iPad’s display. After developers spend a little moment modifying their apps, the app will plus be able to take advantage of the much larger display of the iPad. The iPhone SDK now supports development for the iPad, and the best part is that they’re releasing it today, so whether you’re planning on updating your app, you can probably get cracking right away.

January 26, 2010
A beta version of the Windows Mobile 6.5 Software Development Kit (SDK) has been taken offline, after it was accidentally posted on the Web a few days back. The SDK gave useful info such as documentation, sample cipher, header and library files; emulator images; and tools to build applications in Visual Studio 2008 Professional and 2005 Standard. that would have been really useful to developers who have unfortunately been without a WinMob 6.5 SDK since the official launch of the operating system back in October 2009. A statement from Microsoft read:
"While the SDK was not announced or promoted, it was discovered and generated questions from the community. The beta SDK has since been removed, and to supply the best experience possible for Windows phone developers it will be reposted once final checking has been conducted. We apologize for any inconvenience."
