iOS 5 Features: Nitro Javascript engine comes to UIWebView, WebClips

According to a poster Hacker News, the Nitro JavaScript engine brought to iOS 4.3′s Safari browser, is now available to embedded UIWebViews and home screen WebClips in iOS 5. Apple originally claimed the Nitro engine, ported from desktop Safari, would make iOS Safari 2x faster, but due to restrictions on code interpretation (Nitro uses JIT, or Just-in-Time compilation), it was only available in the Safari sandbox. This effectively made web pages embed in apps and saved to the home screen feel twice as slow. No longer, according to this thread:

Q: Did they fix the bug from 4.3 where home screen web apps don’t use Nitro?

A: This is probably breaking my NDA to say this, but yes, they did. Web.app now has the “dynamic-codesigning” entitlement, which enables Nitro.

In other words, embed webpages and home screen web apps just became first class citizens, and should have the speed to prove it.

Good April Fool’s jokes seem hard to come by these days, but not for this news anchor who convinced his co-host to lick an iPad immediately after she exclaimed “I’m not licking an iPad!”

The host told a story about a breaking new app that lets you taste and smell things on your iPhone or iPad. The new technology was called Pietzo Electrics and although the co-host seemed disgusted by the idea, she was too intrigued to turn it down once the app was placed in front of her.

For some good laughs, check out the video after the break!

tripit-iphone-screenshotPrice: FREE (link to App Store)

This is a service I use fairly regularly.  It allows you to forward the confirmation emails from your travel providers to the TripIt.com and they will automatically add the details to your itinerary.

From TUAW:

Tripit.com imports and interprets your itineraries from airlines, hotel chains, ticket outlets, and other travel companies. When you receive an itinerary from one of these providers, you forward it to a special Tripit email address to have it translated into a trip plan automatically (the site supports hundreds of travel providers, and the translation from email into structured itinerary is really quite amazing). You can share your travel plans with friends or colleagues via LinkedIn, and see when your fellow travelers are heading to a city near you or when their plans align with yours.

That collection of trip plans is what you view with the Tripit.com app. The app is linked to your Tripit.com account, and displays a day by day list of flights, car rentals, and other events that make up your trips. Each event can be opened in further detail to show information such as arrival and departure times, confirmation numbers, and more. Links for airport codes bring up Google Maps of the airport vicinity, and other links can check your flight status with a touch.

yahoo-inquisitor-iphone-screenshotPrice: Free (link to App Store)

Inquisitor for iPhone — a new app from Yahoo! — searches.  Easily.  As much as I hate to admit that any search other than one that rhyme’s with “oogle” is valid, Yahoo’s release of Inquisitor for iPhone is really easy.

The application uses suggested keywords, similar to a normal, web-based Yahoo search, which is really handy on a mobile device like the iPhone.  The app also acts as a “search-enhanced browser,” with the destination site loaded within the application itself.  You can then go back to alter a search term or look at a different result.

You should definitely check this one out to see how you like the user interface compared to Google Search App for iPhone.

TED Conference App for iPhone – Free

The TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is truly a gathering place of great ideas. Attendance to this annual conference is basically by invitation only and features a series of talks by some of the leading thinkers, creators and innovators. Basically, this is the conference I dream to attend!

For years, none of the TED Talks were ever shown outside the conference, but that changed a few years ago, with the addition of the TED videos on their website as well as on iTunes.

Now, you can get them on your iPhone or iPod Touch with the TED App for iPhone. If you are stuck at the airport or on a bus, you can feed your brain. The videos are good quality on both wifi and 3g.
