Well-known iOS jailbreaker Comex has proven Flash can run on the iPad through Frash. The unofficial mod converts Flash 10 for Android through a translation layer that lets a jailbroken iPad use Adobe’s plugin through Safari. From a hands-on video (below), it not only appears to run smoothly but includes audio and keeps working properly even after resizing the view….

If Nokia’s N8 is just too much smartphone for you then perhaps you’d like to take it down a notch with the C7. As part of the C-series of Nokia devices, you can expect it to trim some of the specs off the N8, but not much as the flagship device of the family. You know, something very similar to the apparently leaked image and specs (pictured above) we saw a few weeks back. Parsing the XML posted on Nokia’s own site reveals an ARM-based Symbian^3 C7-00 device with a Nokia favorite 360×640 nHD pixel display resolution and 3G UMTS/HSDPA, WiFi, and Bluetooth radios. Obviously no pricing is available but you can expect it to be fairly inexpensive for what you’ll get.
[Thanks, Glen]

Well, we’ve gone a full month since the last episode of NVIDIA’s and Intel’s ongoing public feud, but it looks like Intel has now stoked the flames once again (albeit inadvertently) in a paper presented at the recent International Symposium on Computer Architecture. That attempted to debunk the “100X GPU vs. CPU myth,” but it also contained the tidbit that GPUs are “only” up to 14 times faster than CPUs in running application kernels, which NVIDIA has more than a happily latched onto. In a blog post, NVIDIA’s Andy Keane says that it’s a “rare day” when a competitor states that their technology is only 14x faster, and that he can’t recall another time when he’s “seen a company promote competitive benchmarks that are an order of magnitude slower.” Of course, he then further goes on to note that Intel’s tests were done with NVIDIA’s previous generation GeForce GTX 280, and that the codes were simply run out-of-the-box without any optimization — but, still, he seems more than happy to accept this bit of “recognition.” In Intel’s defense, however, the overall finding of the paper (linked below) is that the performance gap between a GTX 280 GPU and Core i7 960 processor is actually just 2.5X “on average,” which NVIDIA hasn’t highlighted for some reason.

If the title of this post isn’t enough to entice you, we don’t know what else to say. We’ve gone and run some sunlit comparisons between Apple’s brand spanking new phone’s Retina Display and Samsung’s equally fresh and exclusive Super AMOLED panel on the Galaxy S. We don’t know if we’ll be able to settle the argument, but we’re certainly going to subject both superphones to an expansive visual inspection. Follow us after the break for video exploration of this most pressing topic.

It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: You gotta love Woz.
Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak is well known for making himself extremely accessible to his fans and admirers. We’re sure he can get his hands on any gizmo he wants. Despite this, he waits in lines and hangs out with fellow Apple fans.
When the iPad launched, Steve lined up for his tablet and in the process got to know Parth Dhebar, creator of Simple Reviews. Parth is a high school student and when he needed a ride to the iPhone 4 line, Woz picked him up. The pair joined the rest of the customers who were camping out, where Woz signed autographs, talked with fans and drove his Segway around the empty mall (does he go anywhere without that thing?).
Sounds like fun! Do you have an interesting line story or set of photos? Send them to our @ask_tuaw twitter stream. Thanks!

File sharing and syncing service Dropbox has just released a great new feature: The ability to create a link to any file or folder in your Dropbox account. People following the link will be taken to a specially designed landing page that allows them to view or play your shared files right from their browser, and the links are ready-shortened; perfect for sharing via Twitter — here’s an example: http://db.tt/6LZQjh.
To create a sharable link:
Note that to get his feature, you have to use the experimental beta build of version 0.8 of the desktop client (available to download here), not the current version. It doesn’t seem to be available via the web app until you download and install the beta build of the desktop client.
It’s perhaps a little surprising that it’s taken the Dropbox team until now to add this functionality, but now that they have, I expect we’ll start to see a lot of Dropbox’s db.tt links appearing in my Twitter feed.
Let us know what you think of the knew linking feature in the comments.

There’s been a lot of fuss about the iPhone 4′s Gorilla Glass “custom glass” comparable in strength to sapphire crystal but 30 times harder than plastic. Sounds incredible, right? But make no mistake, that front glass panel will still break if dropped. Ok, it took four deliberate attempts to accomplish what you see above but it still happened. Bottom line: like any cellphone, you’ll have to worry about more than just scratches. See the destruction after the break.
