I’m getting annoyed with all those problems I encounter since the upgrade to iOS 4 and iTunes 9.2. At first I was very pleased with the new look and features. But now after a couple of weeks more problems show up. They’re not fatal but all those small issues pile up to a Windows-like hurdling. I just want to use my Mac and iPhone to be productive!

Apple just released the GM (Golden Master) candidate for developers. I downloaded and tested the new iOS 4 yesterday on my iPhone 3G 16GB. I skipped the betas as it’s currently my only phone and some of the betas were reported to render the iPhone pretty unstable.

Have tried the iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 for a couple of days now and am not too impressed. Tethering, Copy/Paste and A2DP were the main features I wanted to use early. Copy and Paste work.

Apple’s App Store has been a huge success and is looking forward to the download #1,000,000,000 (one billion)! Be the billionth user to download an app in the App Store or just use the alternative web form to paricipate and you can win a new 17″ MacBook Pro, a TimeCapsule, an iPod touch and a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card. Each person is allowed 25 submissions per day.
Ever wondered how to link to an application from the Apple iTunes App Store? You can probably find a site with the link to the desired application on it and just copy the URL from the there. I prefer the easy and regular way by using the iTunes Music Store (iTMS) Link Maker on Apple’s website. Continue reading »
