    Skype has finally released their iPad version. The app isn’t a universal update for the iPhone version, meaning you’ll have to download it as a separate app on your iPad. The application brings everything you love from the iPhone version to the iPad’s larger display. This includes instant messaging, audio chatting, and video conferencing. The app can do video and audio calling both on WiFi and 3G. The same Skype for iPad, first “leaked” online back in late June.

    A list of features from the iTunes page:

    • Talk face-to-face or show what you’re seeing with front and back-facing cameras.
    • Use Skype for iPad to call anyone else on Skype – and enjoy near CD quality (SILK) sound.
    • Instant message and add emoticons to personalize your messages.
    • Make cheap calls to landlines or mobiles from your iPad.
    • Get an Online Number from Skype so people can call you on your iPad.
    • Pay As You Go with Skype Credit – great for when you’re using Skype every now and again.
    • Pay monthly with a subscription – best if you use Skype a lot.

  • Adobe Edge: New Interactive HTML5 Design Tool Goes Into Beta

    // Gradly // Adobe, blog, Download, News, Software No Responses

    Adobe has released its “HTML5″ web design tool Edge. The tool is currently in beta.

    Adobe® Edge is a new web motion and interaction design tool that allows designers to bring animated content to websites, using web standards like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3.

    This version of Edge focuses primarily on adding rich motion design to new or existing HTML projects, that runs beautifully on devices and desktops.

    • Create new compositions with Edge’s drawing and text tools.
    • Import popular web graphics such as SVG, PNG, JPG or GIF files.
    • Easily choreograph animation with the timeline editor. Animate position, size, color, shape, rotation and more at the property level.
    • Energize existing HTML files with motion, while preserving the integrity of CSS-based HTML layouts.
    • Copy and paste transitions, invert them, and choose from over 25 built-in easing effects for added creativity.

    Feature Description
    Intuitive user Interface The user interface is based on a stage, timeline, and panels for elements and properties. It’s influenced by our customers’ favorite features and functionality in class-leading tools like After Effects and Flash Professional, but innovates in its ease of use. Animations and timing can be controlled on a WebKit-based stage, or via precise property adjustments directly on the timeline. You can also make quick edits on individual or multiple objects.
    Visually author animated content Create new compositions from scratch using basic HTML building blocks, text, and imported web graphics. Manipulate objects with an array of transformation and styling options which Edge natively applies to our jQuery-based animation framework.
    Add motion to existing HTML content Add motion elements to existing HTML web documents. Edge stores all of its animation in a separate JavaScript file that cleanly distinguishes the original HTML from Edge’s animation code. Edge makes minimal, non-intrusive changes to the HTML code to reference the JavaScript and CSS files it creates.
    Import web graphics files Import existing web graphics such as SVG, JPG, PNG, and GIF files.
    Standards-based output Edge reads and writes HTML, CSS and JavaScript files natively. Animated content produced in Edge  is expressed in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data structure that preserves the CSS-based layout. JSON is a formatting style for JavaScript that is easily readable, and allows more flexibility to work with the document and animated content independently.
    Reliable content on desktops and devices Animated content created with Edge is designed and tested to work reliably on the iOS and Android platforms, WebKit-enabled devices, and popular desktop browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer 9.

  • A Purported iPhone 5 Gets Leaked

    From the massive leaks back when the iPhone 4 was leaked totally before it debuted, we learned a lot, actually its becoming more easy to get our hands on whats Apple is preparing for us in the future. iPhone 5 as iPhone 4 before is being tested by different people and it might be hidden with iPhone 4 like case shell. We are over a month before launch, and Apple has acknowledged that they real world test this way in the past, think, Gray Powell, however. Last evening, a tipster sent the guys at 9to5mac a picture (above) of what he thinks is the iPhone 5.

    The tipster has an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and what he saw was like nothing he’s ever seen. He said it would fit perfectly into the case below.

    This iPhone appears thinner than the current iPhone 4 but also wider. The edges are rounded metal like the edges of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but could still function as an antenna. The back is a curved/tapered glass or plastic.

    Tapered design and wider edge to edge screen were rumored a lot as well as a bigger home screen that could be capacitive and gestures-driven touch.
