Run Photoshop on an iPad with VMWare's AppBlast

VMWare is hosting its VMWorld 2011 event in Copenhagen later on this month, but the company's blog has posted a preview of what it'll be revealing. And one of the projects in particular is quite interesting: Project AppBlast purports to turn non-HTML based applications (like those currently running on your Mac) into HTML 5 apps. If this works as described, you could essentially run any or all of your applications on any device with a browser on it -- which of course would include your iPad and iPhone.

You can see a screenshot of the service above. VMWare promises it will provide access to all of your apps from the cloud, which is obviously an intriguing proposition. We'll have to see exactly how it all works once it's all revealed. VMWorld 2011 starts up on October 18.

Okay, not as exciting as first thought, but neat anyway. It doesn't actually turn the app into HTML5, it runs the app from a server through the browser. It's virtualization (somewhat like running Photoshop on your iPad via VNC, except you're running VNC to VMWare's servers.

Interesting, but useless unless you have constant connectivity. I still want an iPad-native version of One Note (though this could be an interesting way to run it on the iPad and the Mac).

Want to listen to FM radio on your iPod nano? You need to plug in a head set. The iPod nano uses the attached cord as its antenna, allowing it to pick up radio signals. Say you want to dock the nano and play its radio back on speakers? You'll still need to attach a cord of some kind to the earplug jack. A standard 3.5mm audio cable will do the job for you. Look for one that's at least 8-inches long.
