Today Apple released their newest version of the internet browser, Safari 3.1. With their new version, Apple boasts faster loading speeds, and a sleek user-interface (anyone surprised?).

Apple promises faster load times than both Internet Explorer and Firefox. They also report that their javascript performance, outperforms other browsers as well.

Safari 3.1 will also use a bookmark system, akin to the interface of iTunes. Your search window, and bookmark window will all be accessible without going into any other menus. You will also be able to import all of your bookmarks on your other browsers, if you decide to make the switch.

Are you visiting some sites, that you don’t want your mom, wife, or anyone else to know about? Well, then Safari offers “private browsing”, which will stop the browser from storing cookies, history, or Google history.

For your free download, visit Apple.com. The browser is available for both Mac and PC.

It has been four days since the official unveiling of the iPhone SDK. Developers were amazed by the capabilities demonstrated by the SDK, from the likes of Spore, and Super Monkey Ball.

This amazement has turned into some serious numbers for Apple. Since its’ release, the SDK as seen 100,000 downloads from Apple’s servers. The video of the conference has already received nearly 1,000,000 views since they made the video public.

It’s not perplexing to see why the SDK has seen so much success at this early stage. If you were to see Spore on the iPhone, and then after seeing it realized it only took EA two weeks to develop, you’d know why developers are already downloading.

On top of what looks to be an easy to use SDK, there is the $100 million fund invested by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to aspiring iPhone developers.

So what are you doing reading this article, go and join the masses and see if you can design the next great iPhone App. The SDK can be downloaded here (login required).

It’s no doubt that iPhone users have been surfing the web continually since the iPhone SDK was released yesterday.If you’ve been desperately searching for all the conference details, your search is over. Apple has been kind enough to release the entire conference through video which can be viewed at Apple.com.

Here are a couple of key announcements to watch for:
- The games that EA, and Sega were able to develop for the iPhone (in two weeks)
- Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a venture capitalist’s firm $100 million fund for developers
- iPhone Sales Statistics
- Programming Details Involving X-Code

The release of the iPhone’s SDK is now official. Earlier today, Apple released all the details that developer’s have anxiously been awaiting. iPhone users can go ahead and look forward to many applications and games that are being made for the iPhone.

The kit uses the same program and interface that Apple uses for its’ own applications. Cocoa Touch is a source code that developers will use in order for touch screen to be available for their programs. A modified version of X Code will be used to write the programs, which proves the rumors about the kits being Mac exclusive true, as X Code comes with Mac OS X. An iPhone simulator has been released so that the developers can test their programs while creating them.

iPhone users who are anxiously waiting for the applications to start pouring in, can already look forward to a few that were announced. First, AOL will be releasing a iPhone ready AIM Messenger, which is already in the works. Spore, an EA game being released later in the year can be expected to make an appearance on the iPhone. Fans of the Super Monkey Ball series can get excited, as a demo of the game was shown off at the SDK conference as well.

AT 10 am PST, the iPhone SDK will be released to developers across the country. If you’ve been keeping up with your iPod news, then you’d know that third-party developers have had no dev kit to produce applications for the iPhone.

Although the release is still a couple of hours away, rumors as to what is going to be mentioned have started. The big rumor that has surfaced is that the SDK will only be compatible with Mac OS X. Even though the iPhone is compatible for use on PCs or Macs, it has been speculated that the only developers using Macs will be able to create software for the iPhone.

Gamers should also rejoice, as it is being rumored that Electronics Arts and Gameloft will be producing iPhone titles.

Stay tune to FreeMacBlog, later in the day as more factual details surface about the iPhone SDK.

Yesterday was the shareholders meeting for Apple. Many different strategies, and ideas were presented by Jobs and other key figures for Apple. One interesting piece of information was about the iPhone and Flash support for it.

According to Steve Jobs there is no time frame for Flash Support on the iPhone, so anxious iPhone users shouldn’t start holding their breath. Jobs explains that the current Flash application used by cell phones isn’t powerful enough for what the iPhone is capable of. What he wants is Flash that is on par with the likes of what you see on notebooks and desktops.

Jobs explains about the current Flash problem with cell phones, “There’s this missing product in the middle…It just doesn’t exist”

It looks as though Jobs’ strategy is to hold out and hope that Flash will release a specific application for the iPhone. As of now, Adobe hasn’t made any announcements as it pertains to a special iPhone Flash application.

The two companies have butted heads in the past, with Adobe showing Apple the shaft for some of its’ products. While Apple changed some of its’ products to slow down Adobe applications. Let’s hope for the consumer’s sake that they can get past this bitter past and do what’s best for the iPhone users.
