It is now leopard only, but it includes many new features and a stunning interface. 

Totally rewritten for Leopard, using Core Animation to power the graphics engine.

New “all-in-one” interface with popup inspector bubbles.

New “3D perspective” effect, seen in CoverFlow, Apple.com & iChat AV, etc

New presets feature lets you save and manage styles.

Added innovative cropping feature.

New thumbnail view makes it easier to work with multiple images.

Much improved batch resizing options now appear in the save window.

Can now stroke outside, inside or centered.

New icon dynaimcallydisplays your current image in dock.

Edit numbers more precisely now by clicking on them and typing.

Image now displays at maximum size possible.

Vastly improved performance in importing large amounts of images.

Added media browser.

Many other additions and changes.

I have been playing quite a bit with Picturesque 2.0 and it seems like a great application that I’m going to be keeping on my dock.

Here are some examples of images that have been beautified with Picturesque 2.0;

Make sure you check out Picturesque 2.0 over at Acqualia. I will try and get a full review up in the next few days.

Again, boredom kicked in and I decided to chat, even though Sales don’t usually have information, something may have been passed out.

See picture:

Could the rumors of iPhone 3G in may be imminent?

Apple is asking for 30 per cent of subscriber revenue and can’t provide enough iPhones for a Christmas 2007 launch in Spain, according to Spanish technology company SevenClick, which reports that it got the information from a senior manager at Telefonica. It also claims the May 2008 launch will see a 3G version of Apple’s super-slate.

The company’s technology blog explains that Telefonica Spain would have liked to launch the iPhone this year, along with the UK, Germany and France, but Apple couldn’t supply enough handsets. Telefonica would also like to negotiate down the 30 per cent revenue cut before signing up.

It comes as no surprise that Apple is working on a 3G version of its handset, and May 2008 sounds like a reasonable time frame for such a device to be launched … The Register.

I’m a VERY frequent lurker I guess, filmmaker and huge Mac fan.

I just shot a music video that takes place on the Mac OSX desktop. It’s really cool… It uses the Mac OSX template as a canvas. Watch it and you’ll see what I mean. Please link it up if you’re a Mac fan!!! =) I promise you won’t be disappointed (because I wasted 3 months of my life making it hahaha)

It’s really fantastic, he should submit it to Apple. For those who haven’t seen it yet here it is.

Good work Dennis!

Update: Seems there are a few problems with Youtube on our end, just have to link it.

(Just a note, as an active member on MacRumors, I saw this before it hit anywhere.)

See it for your self, it’s free and available now.
(v1.5.2 - 5.7MB -
03/06/08 Mac OS X
10.3.9 or
later)

“..Developer Evan Schoenberg announced today on the Adium blog that he’s adding Facebook
Chat to the ridiculously long list of instant messaging protocols
already supported by the app. He even included a screenshot of the new
protocol in action, seen on the right.

No word on when the new release will be available, unfortunately, but you can keep track at the Adium blog.”

I’m not a huge fan of Facebook myself, so I won’t be using it, but I think I know someone who might.

pzizz is a software application for Mac and PC that creates audio
soundtracks that help you to nap during the day or get to sleep at
night. The wonderful thing is that you can tailor them to suit you and
they’re different every time! 

I’m going to give it a rough test now (it lasts 20-60 minutes) and I’ll report back to see if I feel energized or have indeed, slept.

Well, it hasn’t worked for me. I tried both Energizer and Sleep. I did fall asleep at the end of sleep, but my next song woke me up (Radio Ga Ga..). If it doesn’t get you to sleep, it certainly makes you feel relaxed. I don’t know if I’m going to have time to re-use this, so perhaps put it on for our next competition? Who knows.

Rating: 7/10
Verdict: Didn’t get me to sleep nor refresh me, but it certainly relaxed me which was well worth it.

A “Apple + C” will place your chosen copies into a clipboard. In this, you can scroll left to right to view all your clippings. You can also edit the text as CPP features a built in word processor.

This software is good for the price. The application fits into Leopard well and the menu arrangements suit brilliantly. Albeit, the softwares’ internal organs aren’t so great. A copy can hold for a second, (unable to copy, paste) which isn’t a lot but noticeable by some people (like, me..) and can get slightly annoying. There is also a floating icon which doesn’t look at all appealing ( it’s to access your clippings ) and is hard to remove.
Other than that, give CopyPaste Pro a go, it does do what it says, even if it takes a while to get there.

This Universal program is compatible with 10.4 (Tiger) and now 10.5 (Leopard).
It costs $20.00 from the ScriptSoftware store but as always a limited demo is provided.

Twitterrific supports multiple Twitter accounts, a smart dock icon (shows you how many unread notifications or tweets you have) and much much more.
To see a full feature list visit the Twitterrific homepage.

More after the break.

Twitterrific is free but with limitations. For free you get the whole package plus the occasional advert. Alternatly you can splash out $14.95 which removes the advertising and helps support for future improvements.

There are many free alternatives to Twitteriffic such as:

twhirl - uses the Adobe Air API & can run on both Windows and Mac.
twitterfox - twitter+FireFox = What a Tweet! (sorry..)

In the meantime check out Twitterrific and see what it can do for you!

I’m Evan, I’m English and I’m the new writer on iAppblog.com.

I’m not very fond, nor good at writing introductory posts so I’m going to keep it short and sweet (plus, I won’t ramble on so I can save face).
I’ve been an Apple fan for about 4 years now. My first Apple computer was a 12″ Powerbook G4. I then went on to buy the sleek white iMac G5 20″ 2.1GHz. This year I upgraded my iMac to the super-sexy 24″ Alu iMac and bought a Mac Mini 2.0GHz for small work.

I also own an iPod Nano 2G, iPod Mini, iPod Video (60GB), iPod Touch 16GB and an iPhone 8GB.

I’m starting to get shy already so I’m going to stop now before I start to blush.
So thanks and expect to see plenty of posts from me
