Just like Christmas for Japanese learners: Rikai Browser and Japanese Flash

Media_httpmetropolisc_ggawo

Metropolis featured both these excellent apps recently -- we're still waiting for the iPhone version of Rikai Browser, but check 'em out if you even come within a sniff of some Japanese text.

Jailbreak woes got you down? There might be a simple solution

Jailbreak
I get a lot of questions from relatively inexperienced iPhone or iPad users having trouble with getting a new jailbreak to take properly. Most of them get so frustrated with things not working when they apparently should that they end up going down the official Apple route and missing out on all that Cydia goodness.

However, one thing I've noticed that works more often than not when I suggest it is to try the jailbreak on a different computer. It sounds simplistic, but it can make the difference between success and a phone disappearing through a window.

Seriously - if you're having trouble with a JB on, for example, your desktop, just switch to a laptop if you have one or borrow a friend's. The different setup on there (looking at you, iTunes) can make all the difference, particularly if you keep seeing RedSn0w crash out on you. Give it a spin -- tutorials below if you need them. And remember, this is all about access to Cydia and its goodness, not ripping off all those good devs out there.

Sanyo shows off new portable power source for iPhone, iPad, Nintendo DS and more...

Media_httpsanyocomnew_ctkbv

Looking forward to trying this -- eneloop batteries are excellent, so the 'eneloop mobile booster' should be a major hit before long. No pricing info yet, but I'd guess somewhere around the ¥5,000 mark...

iLunascape - a (free) tabbed iPad browser from Japan

Media_httpwwwlunascap_qerok

It's interesting to see a proper alternative to Safari for the iPad, but is iLunascape just that bit too far out on a limb?

Why iPad 2 Is coming and what to expect...

Media_httpgigapplefil_pksui

It's a fair punt to suggest we'll see iPad 2 before the end of the year, so is it time to get those ancient old models on eBay already? Surely not...
