Tap-Translate Does Inline Mobile Safari Translations
Tap-Translate, a $1.99 universal app by developer Ronen Drihem, brings an interesting approach to translations on iOS, and more specifically in Mobile Safari. Tap-Translate, in fact, isn’t exactly an “app”: it’s an app whose only function is to let you install a bookmarklet in Safari that will let you tap on a word on any webpage to get an instant translation inside a cute yellow popup menu.
It works like this: once you’ve followed the steps provided by the app to install the bookmarklet (which allows you to choose from a variety of languages), you’ll find the bookmarklet in Mobile Safari (works on any iOS device, but I’ve also tested it in Chrome and Safari on the desktop) ready to give you inline translations on tap. The translation’s popup allows you to “speak” a selected word, or jump directly to the Google Translation page. Tap-Translate can also do entire paragraphs, and be dismissed at any time. It’s fast, easy to use and convenient.
At $1.99 you could argue you’re spending money to install a bookmarklet. The thing is, Tap-Translate works really well and, most of all, it’s integrated with Safari and it’s unobtrusive. Recommended.
iPhone Nano To Have No Storage? Stream Media and Documents?
A number of reports last week from Bloomberg, TechCrunch and the Wall Street Journal suggested Apple has been working on a smaller and cheaper model of the iPhone 4, which is set for a summer release and will be available alongside the current line of iPhones. The WSJ also reported that, according to their sources, MobileMe will go under a major overhaul this summer to introduce streaming for music stored in iTunes in the cloud. The new MobileMe will be free, and Apple was planning a launch last year. Read more

Echofon For iPad & iPhone Update to 4.0
How could Echofon’s magical sync-a-bilities get anymore improved between Echofon on the desktop and your favorite iOS devices? How about the addition of user streaming to the iPad, global push notifications for direct messages, and the ability to temporarily mute tweet happy users? User streaming is something I’ve wished for in all clients as long as it continues to retain your place on the timeline (Twitter for iPad is good at this), and not too many have successfully took a swing at Echofon’s syncing features. There’s nothing more annoying that re-reading a garbage bin full of old tweets - pick up where you left off with Echofon, and download the free updates in the iTunes App Store via the links below.

I Love Joypad For iOS
I recently completed Cave Story (for the thirteenth time) with the aid of niche but awesome iOS app by the name of Joypad. Turning your iPhone into a virtual video game controller, Joypad is a pocketable companion for 8 bit, indie, or emulator crazy Mac gamers who don’t have a USB controller accessible. NES, SNES, N64, SEGA Genesis, and GBA controllers are all available to smash those Cheeto flavored fingers on, but how well does a flat display work with bumpers?
