The promised MagicJack femtocell is due to arrive later this year, but it has now been revealed that it will be sold at an unnamed wireless provider. The device will allow users to tie it into compatible cellphones to route calls over the Internet and therefore save callers from using up their cellphone minutes.

Another new revelation is that there will be MagicJack apps for the iPad, iP...... Read more

SproutCore, the open source “Rich Internet Apps” framework Apple adopted and invested in to construct its online MobileMe suite of web apps and its iWork.com service, is taking on a larger life of its own as independent companies use it to deliver sophisticated multitouch web apps targeted at iPad and other HTML5-savvy tablets.

Immediately after the iPhone 4 was released, Michael D’Ulisse of MoreBluSky came up with the idea to make an app that used the iPhone 4′s camera flash as a Flashlight.
