Seemed inevitable given Yahoo’s recent stock-price plunge.
- Versions 1.0 ★
-
€39 Subversion client from Pico and Sofa, featuring a slick UI that is intended to make version control usable for developers and non-developers alike. Has been in public beta since June.
- ‘Adventure’ for iPhone ★

The classic Atari 2600 game “Adventure”, as a free iPhone game by Peter Hirschberg. (Via Andy Baio.)
- New ‘Star Trek’ Trailer ★

Trailer of the day: J.J. Abrams’s upcoming Star Trek prequel.
- Choosy ★
-
A clever idea from George Brocklehurst — Choosy is a sort of meta web browser for Mac OS X, for people who use multiple web browsers. You set your “default” web browser to Choosy, and then when you open web URLs in other applications, Choosy will either prompt you for which browser you want to open the link in, or it will choose for you automatically based on rules you define.
- Base 1.0 ★
-
New £10.00 (about $15 USD) desktop SQLite tool from Menial:
Base is an application for creating, designing, editing and browsing SQLite 3 database files. It’s a proper Mac OS X application. Fast to launch, quick to get in to and get the data you need.
- Not a Rumor ★

Anthony Ha, on Adobe’s efforts to get Flash running effectively on ARM processors:
The mobile market is an important target for Adobe — on web-enabled desktops, on the other hand, some versions of Flash already have 98 percent market penetration. Flash’s dominance is less-assured on mobile devices, where web-browsing capabilities are only now emerging as a mass market, where Flash has been criticized for the demands it places on device resources and where Apple is rumored to encourage development on Javascript, rather than Flash or Microsoft’s Silverlight platform.
That’s not a rumor. That’s a fact. WWDC had a slew of sessions last year about developing with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and they’ve emphasized these technologies as the way to develop for the iPhone as a mobile web platform since before the iPhone even debuted.
- PCalc 1.2 for iPhone ★

The best iPhone calculator app keeps getting better.
