Apple backpedaling on some iOS development restrictions, will allow third party tools

Woah, who saw this coming? Apple has changed its super-controversial stance on third party developer tools for iOS apps, now allowing any and all comers, “as long as the resulting apps do not download any code.” We’re guessing this is mostly a nod to game developers, who use ported engines like Unreal and interpreters like Lua, but it also apparently covers apps developed in Adobe Flash CS5

ARM reveals Eagle core as Cortex-A15, capable of quad-core computing at up to 2.5GHz

Way to take the wind out of our sails, ARM — no sooner does your dual-core Cortex-A9 finally ship , do you reveal an even more powerful smartphone, smartbook and server-slaying beast. The Cortex-A15 MPCore picks up where the A9 left off, but with reportedly five times the power of existing SOCs, raising the bar for ARM-based single- and dual-core cell phone processors up to 1.5GHz…

iPod nano code hints at possible video playback

It may not be anything more than a bit of excess or leftover code, but it looks like there’s at least a hint of some possible video playback capabilities lying deep in the code for the new iPod nano (the internal settings property list, to be specific). As discovered by Erica Sadun over at TUAW , that includes options for things like TV subtitles, captions and alternate audio, and even a fit-to-screen option — for the perfectly square aspect ratio of the nano’s screen, perhaps?

QuickPay announces ROAMpay credit card swiper for Android, BlackBerry, iOS

We’ve seen our fair share iPhone-based credit card payment systems , but we both know that those aren’t the only handsets people do business with. ROAMpay from QuickPay Merchant Services is a device agnostic card swiper with apps available for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. Actually, it seems to be a virtual cash register as well, letting you log cash transactions (and generate receipts for ‘em) as well as offering real-time authorization for Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express (as long as you have a QuickPay account, of course)

CalDigit brings USB 3.0 AV Drive to the Mac, still working on peace in the Middle East (video)

With Intel showing signs of jumping on board , USB 3.0 is looking more and more like the one next-gen interconnect to rule them all. Them all except for Apple , of course, who has notably thrown its support exclusively behind Light Peak . The chums at Cupertino have no interest in newer, bluer revisions of USB, but enterprise storage firm CalDigit thinks that many Apple lovers will.

Columbia pumps out 10-inch Android and Windows 7 tablets (video)

Sure, popular belief equates Columbian exports with guns and cocaine, but two Bogota-based companies presently have 10-inch tablet computers on the brain. Compumax has got an Android-powered Tegra 2 device on tap with a dual-core 1GHz Cortex A9, 512MB of RAM and a 32GB hard drive, and Smart PC’s looking at a netbook-specced Windows 7 slate with an Atom N450 processor, a DVD burner, up to 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive, a folding stand and a pair of peripheral-friendly USB ports alongside what looks like a fairly responsive multitouch screen.

Apples In Stereo man controls his Moog… with his mind! (and you can too)

We thought that our homemade Theremin was difficult to control, but this one is in a different league altogether! The, ahem , brainchild of Apples In Stereo’s Robert Schneider, the Teletron takes a Mattel Mindflex game and uses it as a control voltage source for… well, any piece of musical equipment that has a CV input. In the video below, the musician / producer plugs it into a Moog analog synth and increases / decreases the pitch solely with his mind
