Apple announced today that the iTunes Store reached 10 billion music downloads since it first opened in 2003. This also means they are ending their “Countdown to 10 Billion Songs” promotion. They haven’t announced a winner yet, but that lucky person can expect a $10,000 iTunes Store gift card. On their main page, they have a graph showing the growth of the iTunes Music Store starting at it’s launch on April 23,2003 to the present.
Apple has just released iPhone OS 3.1.3 Software Update, which includes a number of bug fixes and security patches for all iPhone and iPod touch models. The new version appears to be a very minor update, as the previous software version was 3.1.2. However, the update is recommended for all users (except those who jailbreak), as it includes the following fixes:
* Improves accuracy of reported battery level on iPhone 3GS
* Resolves issue where third-party apps would not launch in some instances
* Fixes bug that may cause an app to crash when using the Japanese Kana keyboard
Apple has just pushed out an update to iTunes, which brings the software to version 9.0.3. It still looks and acts the same as 9.0.2, but it does come with several bug fixes and improvements:
iTunes no longer ignores your “Remember password for purchases” setting.
Addresses problems with syncing some Smart Playlists and Podcasts with iPod.
Resolves a problem recognizing when iPod is connected.
Addresses issues that affect stability and performance.
We’re also guessing that the new version probably has a few references to the iPad, so all you tinkerers better get to it! The update is available via Software Update and at Apple.com.
Yesterday Apple announced their highly anticipated tablet, dubbed the iPad. It’ll be available in 60 days and it comes in several size configurations, with the 16GB base-model costing $499. It includes 802.11n wireless networking, a 9.7″ multi-touch screen, speakers, microphone, Bluetooth, accelerometer, and compass. It appears to run a modified version of the iPhone OS, presumably iPhone OS 3.2. It’ll run current iPhone apps without modification, although an SDK has been announced to build native apps. Additionally, Apple will roll out a WiFi+3G model which will include 3G connectivity and GPS. The WiFi+3G model will cost an additional $130, although it’ll be unlocked and service will cost $15 for 250MB of bandwidth per month or $30 for unlimited data. 3G will be provided by AT&T in the states with no contract.
The iPhone Dev Team has released the Redsn0w beta version 0.9b3. The update is able to jailbreak OS version 3.1.2, but unfortunately still won’t jailbreak the third gen iPod touch. Newer iPhones with the new bootrom (iPhones purchased after the 40th week of last year) will still have to be tethered to a computer running redsn0w in order to be jailbroken, as well as every time you want to reboot. It’s pretty inconvenient if you just want to jailbreak for the sake of jailbreaking, given that Blackra1n doesn’t have those limitations.

With Apple’s pockets bulging with cash and rumblings of an impending end to the recession, ’tis the season for companies like Apple to do their holiday shopping for smaller companies to gobble up. One unnamed source says the next one on Apples list is VoIP company iCall in a deal valuing between $50-60 million.
Fring is a VoIP and chat client for your mobile phone. The service works with a handful of various networks, including Skype, AIM, MSN Messenger and Twitter. You can even make calls to landlines from your SkypeOut and SkypeIn account and place voice calls to your Skype and Fring address book.
Today, Fring is taking its iPhone app to the next level by bringing support for video chat. Nokia added this feature to some of its devices last week, and the new version of Fring is now in the app store. Fring is free and you can grab it here (iTunes link). That means the iPhone/iPod Touch can now accept incoming Skype Video Calls! This can lead to a bunch of ways to monitor something as well. Read the rest of this entry »
Black Friday (a.k.a., the beginning of the U.S. holiday shopping season, a.k.a. “El Stampede”) is only a few hours away and assorted retailers have begun assembling a variety of iPhone and iPod-related accessory and app specials.
