  • Yeah, we liveblogged the hell out of Steve Jobs' keynote yesterday, but there are few things more charismatic than Apple's CEO in the midst of one of his ambitious product launches . And to feel it for yourself, you've either gotta be there or you have to watch the video -- fortunately, the latter is now available for consumption right on Apple's website. [Thanks, Dilwar] Steve Jobs' WWDC10 keynote video is now live on Apple's site originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 08 Jun 2010…
  • Well, it's not June 1st , but Nike+ users now finally have a heart rate monitor to help kick their training up a notch in the form of the just-announced Polar WearLink+. That is naturally compatible with all Nike+ gear, and it will let you see your BPM at a glance on your Nike+ SportBand, or hear spoken feedback of your BPM while you run on your iPod nano. The heart rate monitor will even work with Polar's own range of training computers and Polar-compatible fitness equipment at the same time, and…
  • When you complain about Apple's products lacking Flash support , we figure you're talking about games and video, but web developers have to make a living too, right? That's why Greystripe and Adobe are working together to bring ads to iDevices all around, with an intriguing technology that might one day enable the real reasons we want Flash as well. Like the Smokescreen demo we saw last week, Greystripe can reportedly transcode the banned content to HTML5 on the fly, and it's apparently…

          • Filed under: iPhone , App Store Here's news of two big apps that have gone free (with ads) in the past week. Boxcar is up first -- the app pushes notifications from any number of social and information services out to your iPhone or iPad , so you can know when you've got a Twitter DM or a Growl notice waiting for you elsewhere. Boxcar (on the App Store ) has added support for iPad, and the core functionality is all free. The app comes with ads automatically, or you can pay an in-app purchase of…

                • I have been wanting video calling on the iPhone for years. In fact, two years ago today I asked my readers if video messages for iPhone would be an appealing feature. I imagined different scenarios where mobile video calling would be practical, useful and fun. So I was excited about Apple’s announcement today that the new iPhone 4 will feature a front-facing video camera as well as video chatting software, dubbed FaceTime. But… The caveat is: FaceTime will only be usable over a WiFi network in 2010 ,…

                  • Filed under: iPhone TUAW blogger TJ Luoma wasn't happy when he found out that his iPhone upgrade date isn't until sometime in February of 2011, so he called AT&T to find out how much it would cost him to upgrade to the iPhone 4 .

                      • With AT&T's new limited data plans now in place, it makes you wonder if this is good or bad for the consumer or developer. As it stands now, of course, it is anyone's guess.
                        • Filed under: WWDC At today's WWDC keynote , a new feature of the iOS 4 operating system called FaceTime was announced and demonstrated, bringing iChat like video conferencing to the iPhone. FaceTime requires no set up or configuration and will work with either the front or back facing camera on the iPhone 4 , but the front facing camera has been "tuned" for FaceTime allowing you to hold the camera at arm's length to get a perfect picture. It works in both landscape and portrait…
