MobileMe — the easy way to keep your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and PC in sync — now includes an all-new Me.com webmail application with faster performance and great new features and a free Find My iPhone app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Apple today announced that it sold its three-millionth iPad yesterday, just 80 days after the device’s U.S. introduction. “People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more people around the world, including those in nine more countries next month.”
Engadget reviews the new Mac mini and credits the “striking unibody makeover,” NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, and new HDMI port with making it “even more attractive as a home theater PC.” Noting the compact desktop’s exceptional energy efficiency, built-in power supply, and quiet operation, the reviewer calls Mac mini “one of the most perfectly executed small PCs we’ve ever encountered.”
PC Magazine makes the new Mac mini an Editors’ Choice (4.5/5 stars), writing that it now “defines its category.” Citing the new aluminum unibody construction, HDMI port, SD card slot, and improved energy efficiency — and noting that Mac mini “blew away” the competition in 3D performance testing — the reviewer calls it “the compact PC you’ve been searching for.”
Download the new Apple Store app free and you can do all things Apple from your iPhone or iPod touch. Buy Apple products and accessories, read customer reviews, find an Apple Retail Store, stay up to date with in-store events, and make Personal Shopping, Genius Bar, or One to One appointments.
The completely redesigned Mac mini features up to twice the graphics performance, a new HDMI port, a new SD card slot, and industry-leading energy efficiency — all in an amazingly compact aluminum enclosure. Starting at $699, Mac mini is the most affordable way to enjoy Mac OS X, iLife, or Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server.
Engadget reports that ESPN on-air analysts are using iPad as a telestrator to control graphics, overlays, doodle input, and shading on live telecasts. Writes Engadget: “…a broadcasting company that is oft hailed for having some of the best graphics and on-screen technology in the universe is using the same tablet that you gave your mom for Mother’s Day to do it.”

MacBook earns an Editors’ Rating of Excellent (4/5) stars from CNET reviewer Dan Ackerman, who likes the notebook’s faster processor, improved graphics, and better battery life. Ackerman writes that the “$999 MacBook hits the sweet spot between price and performance,” making it “tough to beat as a back-to-school laptop.”

Dazzling Flashlight 4g is one of several new applications (like this one) that uses the iPhone 4′s new built-in rear LED as a flashlight. Over the last day or so, we’ve heard from other developers who are building similar tools. Cramzy developer Iliya Yordanov was kind enough to send over a build of the app for me to test while the product waits on Apple review.
As the video here shows, Dazzling Flashlight 4g offers two kinds of flashlight functionality. It provides the standard “light up the main screen with a bright, white window” that has been on App Store from the beginning — but it also offers direct control over the back LED flashlight as well. That LED provides strong, clear illumination and is really a nice way to shine light in dark rooms or at night.
