A new test environment and development has been made available to developers for 90 days for free access to APIs Bing Maps.
This good news comes two SDKs interactive, comprehensive and very educational which are also offered by Microsoft "to learn how to utilize the APIs Bing Maps."
For the record, this web-services platform enables the development of localization features for both web applications for mobile or house.
Among the features there are of course the creation of routes, location of the advanced search or proximity search.
But these APIs can also customize the browser, integrate multimedia (videos, images and other multimedia objects to map), or to imagine new uses (see above).
Two SDK (AJAX and Silverlight SDK Interactive Interactive SDK) and five different interfaces are proposed to meet the needs closer to each developer.
Firefox 4 beta1 available
Mozilla has posted the first beta version of Firefox 4. Finally, tell the impatient, as it was expected by early June, then postponed to mid-June
The arrival of this beta confirms the work areas of the development team of browser plug-in insulation for greater stability (the 'Lorentz'), supports HTML 5 (see also "A member of Mozilla claims that Apple and Google want to own the HTML5 ") and shorter startup time.
The interface is also reviewed in depth.
Minimal for some and major for the other, the tabs are now placed by default at the top of the browser (the famous "tabs-on-top *" popularized by Chrome). You can still return them to their traditional place in two small clicks.
A "Firefox" menu centralized (inspired by the Opera?) Also appeared.
Finally, the management interface extensions has been totally redesigned - Electrolysis first demonstration project designed to completely isolate the extensions and allow their installation in warm (without restart of Firefox).
For developers, Mozilla said the following new features:

iPhone OS 4 beta 3 and SDK availables
Apple has recently proposed to the developers third beta of iPhone OS 4 (firmware and SDK). This new version was really expected of all developers, because the previous version was considered as a true "disaster" to the point that some developer would be returned on the last version official OS (3.1.3).
Indeed, the beta 2 was very unstable, slow, with big problems in some main application as the inability to take photos, the impossibility to recharge his iPhone without having to restart the camera or problems with WiFi networks or 3G.
This beta fixes these problems so it is now possible to use the camera, the OS is now reagent, it is possible to exchange files between iPad and the Mac or PC via iTunes, you can now access to iPod controls via a slip of the finger
left in the bar multitasking.
Other innovations, the ability to lock the shift as the iPad, then opportunity to leave an application that works multiple users via a badge in the top left of the icon application.
At the SDK, Apple has made available Download the SDK beta 3, but had withdrawn their site quickly without too much information from Apple, but the cause is due to the absence of Recognition of the iPhone OS 4 8A260b the SDK, which is certainly not practical. The SDK has also left traces of the next iPhone 4G with the opportunity to Record 720p HD video, but it is still a rumor.
