Have an iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 2nd generation, iPod touch 3rd generation, or iPod touch 4th generation with iTunes? Then you technically have iOS 4.1. Major notes of this release are proximity sensor fixes, Game Center, bug squashing, and lots of fun. Time to get updating.
So, it’s another giveaway you say? It’s for another $10 iTunes gift card, and since 1.7 million people just bought iPhone 4s in the last 4 days, I think you’d really want it. The same rules apply people:
Good luck!
So! Have you gotten yourself iOS 4 yet? If you haven’t, here’s what you need to know to get it. First, look at your device. If it’s the iPhone 3G, 3GS, or by some chance the unreleased iPhone 4 (contact me if you have it), then you’d be good to go. For precautions back up your files when plugging in your iPhone to iTunes (9.2 is the requirement), and new iPod Touch owners should also be in luck. The build’s reference number is 8A293, just to be sure that it’s the real thing and brings the iBooks app, Bluetooth wireless keyboard support, multitasking, unified email inbox, and folders, much like Android 2.1 and 2.2. Apparently, Apple and Steve Jobs claims that the new iOS has 1,500 new features, so I’ll let you live through the glory to find out all of them, yourself.

Good Luck!
iPad Apps are now live at the iTune App Store. Wow, it’s magical and revolutionary! Just kidding, just kidding. Really, Apple could’ve just held off until people actually have the iPad, but there’s no harm done when people can browse through hundreds of new iPad apps, of which is 11 pages worth, right? Be prepared with your credit card, because buying the iPad isn’t the only thing, you’ll have to cough up some extra dough since iPad apps are closer to real desktop ones, which is a win/win and a lose/lose of sorts. Well-recognized apps like Brushes, Twitteriffic, and the Wall Street Journal are all sitting there waiting to be bought. Go check it out at the source link, you’ll like it.

So there you have it. If you want an iPad you’ll have to wait until Saturday April 3rd for it to be available at all Apple stores. But if you don’t want to wait in an extremely long line at an Apple Store, there’s the pre-order option that comes in just a week’s time on March 12th for the Wi-Fi model. The 3G model will arrive later in April, followed by releases to buyers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. As for all of those reports about a “delay”; there isn’t one, but it makes you wonder if there really will be enough iPads for everyone? Oh, and here are the prices for the iPad, just so you know howw much you need to bust out of your savings:
Want more? Full PR people, after the break.

Remember? Remember back in the day (circa 2001), when there was laughter about the iPod and iTunes? I hear no laughter now. Today iTunes will sell its 10 billionth song today. Somebody will download that song, no doubt. But here’s where Apple will make you get even more songs: if download the 10 billionth song, you get a $10,000 iTunes gift card. Sounds far enough. Keep moving forward guys; there’s no stopping you now. [Apple]
For those of you waiting for iPhone OS 4.0, you’ll have to wait longer. The new iPhone OS 3.1.3 is available now, and brings mainly bug fixes for apps and corrects the accuracy of the battery meter on the iPhone 3GS. Not much by far, but it’s one step closer. Get downloading on iTunes, okay?
AT&T has released a new app for you to download, and it’s free: It’s called “Mark the Spot. It basically tells AT&T where their coverage sucks, and what they need to improve – from data errors, bad signals, dropped calls, and everything else that AT&T is famous for. Expect a hurricane of reports on network failure, in different areas. See, there’s even an app for telling AT&T they suck. There’s an app for that too. [iTunes]
This is looking nice. It’s time for PMPs (portable media players) to come into the party (or Christmas, your choice). Translation: iPod and Zune are included. Average price: $150+ (it depends). Are there good ones in this guide? Yes. Is the Zune HD and iPod Touch in here? Yes, oh yes. Let’s take a look around here, shall we?
