Apple essentially banned all widget apps, so Saied and company decided to try something different: creating a web browser optimized for touch navigation on the iPad.

The result is the Tod Maffin, one of Canada’s most influential web and technology commentators. Thanks, Tod! -Ed.

This app is really a tiny file server that runs on the same computer on which your videos are stored. You can point it to any number of directories containing your videos, including attached servers, and it’ll stream them live to any of your iDevices. The other great bonus is it’ll convert from basically any video format — on the fly. Brilliant.

[You might have heard of this one -- we covered it on TUAW back in April, along with workalike competitor Appfresh (Free) I've always been an early adopter and, probably to my detriment, I always want to try the latest versions of programs. Appfresh will scan your Applications folder and compare your versions with the latest versions. Within a minute, it'll have a list of programs that need updating. You can always pick and choose which to update - it suggests beta versions, so if you're not up to a pre-release version, you can opt to not update that app.

Keep vigilant, though, for big upgrades to paid programs (i.e., from 3.1 to 4.0) -- they may drop a new version that wants you to pay for an upgrade, leaving you to manually find and re-install the old version (if it's still available on the developer's site!). [TUAW post from back in ought-seven.]

MobileMe members will be unable to access MobileMe applications at me.com. Access to MobileMe will still be available on desktop applications, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Normal service is expected to be restored at the end of the maintenance window.

It’s likely this work will support iPhone 4 which hits the streets next week. Hopefully Apple learned a lesson from the 2008 debacle when Apple brought out the iPhone 3G at the same time it launched the .Mac re-branding that became MobileMe.
