What’s New in Version 25.0.1364.86
• Long press on the back button to quickly access any page in your tab history
• Share a web page via Messages
The sharing via messages is a very cool addition, I would still like to see a Reader-like ability and for Apple to allow me to change default apps.
Mactories posted an article about Sun, a beautiful and simple weather web app for iPhone and iPad. Its free, and all you have to do is go to the page using Safari on your iPhone or iPad and add it to your home screen. Once installed, it will of course ask to know your location and that place will be the default. You can add three more cities, choose from Fahrenheit or Celsius, miles per hour, kilometres per hour, or meters per second, as well as color palette. If you swipe to the side, it will change cities, if you pinch the screen you can see info for all four cities at once. If you tap on a location, it will show a chart with projected temperatures and a ten-day forecast. Also, the icon will tell you the temperature of your current location. Really cool web app created by Jakob Henner.
Simply head over this page and install the Text bookmarklet; running the bookmarklet on a webpage will display it using Instapaper’s parser, but it won’t add it to your Instapaper account.
They don’t say it on this article, but you have to do it on the desktop version of Chrome, because unless I’m missing something, I could not do it on the mobile version. I named my bookmark aa, when I run into a page where the font is too small, I just type aa on the URL bar, select the bookmark, and boom! I have an Instapaper version of the article where I can make the font bigger, change font, background color, etc. It’s a hack, and it’s not as elegant or easy as Safari’s solution, but it works.
You’ll need to use mobile Safari to do so, but Amazon says its iOS store has been designed using HTML5 and should offer customers everything they’ve come to expect: recommendations, user ratings, and discounted $5 albums / $0.69 songs are all offered via the new site. Additionally, purchases will be available for immediate streaming and download from within Amazon’s Cloud Player iOS app.
Plus, that gives you access to cloud storage for your music, this is very cool.
