Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Google Earth 3.0 released for iPhone and iPad; desktop version 5.2 now includes WebKit-based browser
First, let me just say that I don't own either an iPhone or an iPad -- but when something looks this good, I can't ignore it. It almost makes me want to get an iPad... and a sofa to sit on while I use it...
Anyway, Google Earth 3.0 has been released. It's free, but weighs in at a hefty 13MB... so tether before you download it!
Those of you that have used previous versions won't notice many differences. 3.0 does, however, bring complete iPad support -- including high-resolution imagery to make the most of your larger screen. (Incidentally, did anyone notice that the iPhone 4GS has a very similar screen resolution to the iPad?)
Other than iPad support, there's a Road layer -- and 'layer support' -- but not being an iPhone or iPad user, I have no idea of that's important or not. Again, it's a free download, so just download it and enjoy!
In other news, Google Earth 5.2 for desktop machines was released yesterday. Amongst other changes, it now includes an integrated WebKit-based browser (it's not full-on Chrome, and the V8 JavaScript engine is not included). No longer must you leave Google Earth to follow Wiki links!

In regards to the iPhone 4 (GS?! :) ) having a similar resolution to the iPad, ModMyi just reported that iPhone apps will run at full resolution on the iPad (slightly windowed). This is great news for developers as it means they can port an app over to the iPad with little to no work (and in doing so probably wack an "HD" on the name and an extra zero on the price ;) )
